Notts County a look into what else they need this window to become genuine title contenders (๐งต) #ncfc#nottscounty
First of all, the system Luke Williams played last season and tactical approach he took is probably the most in depth tactical approach Iโve ever seen in the National League.
Williams demands his goalkeeper to be comfortable and confident on the ball, itโs the way he plays - playing out from the back was almost unheard of at NL level but it was a demand Williams had.
As a goalkeeper playing under Williams you have to be comfortable almost playing as a sweeper, reading a through ball because of the high line that Notts County deploy.
My personal opinion is that Iโm not a fan of the high line, George Broadbent exposed it in the play offs for Boreham Wood and I believe itโs a very dangerous game.
However itโs clearly something thatโs worked on every time in training because the understanding of the defence on when and how far to step forward certainly did have its benefits.
The 3 CBs are expected to carry the ball and find a pass, draw the press and find the free man. We seen this perfectly against Boreham Wood in the play-off semi final when Aden Baldwin carried the ball it opened up and he struck a beauty.
With Kyle Cameron extending his stay itโs a massive boost as heโs so key to the system ticking however I do believe next season for Notts to push for promotion they still need a few additions.
Iโd like to see a ball playing ๐ด๐ผ๐ฎ๐น๐ธ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฟ, a pacy ๐๐ to help the high line recovery, a ๐บ๐ถ๐ฑ๐ณ๐ถ๐ฒ๐น๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฟ comfortable on the ball and receiving in tight areas, a ๐ช๐ whoโs perhaps a little better defensively and a ๐ฐ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐๐ฒ ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฑ now Rodrigues hasโฆ twitter.com/i/web/status/1โฆ
Starting with the ๐ด๐ผ๐ฎ๐น๐ธ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐๐ถ๐น๐ถ๐ฝ ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐๐ฐ๐ต๐ฎ๐น๐น, the Aston Villa goalkeeper was on loan at Gateshead last season and I think he would be a perfect fit for Notts.

For the ๐๐ Iโve gone with mr consistent ๐๐ฎ๐บ๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ผ๐น๐๐ผ๐ป, his recovery speed is excellent is versatility to operate as a CB or FB and perform both to a high standard is a valuable asset to any team. I think it would be a fantastic signing if Notts could make it happen.
In ๐๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐น ๐ ๐ถ๐ฑ๐ณ๐ถ๐ฒ๐น๐ฑ Iโve gone for another man who stood out on loan at Gateshead last season and thatโs ๐๐ฎ๐บ๐ถ๐น ๐๐ผ๐ป๐๐ฒ๐ต, his ball playing ability and composure in tight areas of the pitch is sublime.

The ๐ช๐ is an alternative option preferably someone comfortable on both sides who offers more defensive reassurance.

Replacing Rodrigues is always going to be a very hard task, he quickly became a fan favourite and his ability and attitude earned him a League One move.

Theyโre just suggestions I would like to see, but so far Notts have made statement with contract renewal and the obvious signing of Didzy, letโs see if they can replace Rodrigues and we should be in for another exciting watch if youโre a neutral.

The experienced CB who has just suffered relegation with Rochdale is looking for a new club and i think #YCFC would welcome his arrival, heโs a good no nonsense defender and has experience across L1 and L2.
An in depth thread of Burton Albion and 11 players I think they should sign. They need a big summer and below is how I think they could. (๐งต) #bafc#Burton
Burton Albion currently only have eight players under contract although they have offered new deals to a further eight players.
So with none of them currently confirmed and 3/8 players playing the same/similar position, I am going to go through 11 possible signings I think would suit Burton Albion and help them kick on next season.
A thread on #DRFC early start to the window and what I feel is needed to return to League One. (๐งต)
After relegation to L2 in 2022 they had another very poor season last year finishing 18th and not ever putting a run of games together.
I think they big thing I struggled to see was what direction the club was heading in and what sort of team they was. They wasnโt necessarily a possession based team and they lacked the quality to be a counter attacking team, so I did struggle to see what way the club was going.
A very good young goalkeeper who I think needs to play in a system that suits him, and I think what Evatt demands of his goalkeeper would bring the best out of Savin.
Now released by #MUFC and looking to shine elsewhere itโs another player I believe fits Evatts system well, he is comfortable on the ball and can also carry out of defence
A thread on 15 signings I feel would be a good fit for Morecambe - with only six players currently at the club, I did 15 more potential signings - in my opinion my best thread(๐งต) #morecambe#mfc#shrimps
After speaking and taking a deeper dive into Morecambe FC and seeing that Morecambe currently only have six players registered for the upcoming season means theyโll need at-least 15 signings in the next couple of months.

I did a smaller thread with five players and Iโm going to add a further 15 players who I think Morecambe could/should sign - itโs a mixture of experience and youth but I canโt help but feel this isnโt a healthy way of running a club
A player who can operate in numerous positions providing cover across multiple positions is what McCann has signed, similar to a couple of signings now, certainly not a coincidence.
Positions
Coming through the ranks at Newcastle he operated mostly as a midfielder and by the looks of the multiple posts and quotes Iโve seen McCann sees him primarily as a midfielder.
However throughout the season at Gateshead he slotted into CB and performed the position toโฆ twitter.com/i/web/status/1โฆ
