 Welcome to Toffy TV, now the season is almost here, we've had our last pre-season game. It's transfer deadline day, Thursday, today is Monday. The squad, Baz, do you think this squad is good enough? Will they you? That's the thing. You look scared. I mean that was a quick turn of ours. It was a quick turn of ours. I look at this squad and I'm slightly worried by the depth of it. I don't think... I was looking at the... I was looking at the plays in the squad. Once we get past that first eleven, it is slightly concerning that... I know it sounds stupid but... and this is the aim of replacing players or just getting the turn around. There's not much squad depth in terms of seeing your players. It's a lot of youngsters, so if you go through the team... I mean obviously, we're not going to do everyone but... the senior players like to fill the track, yet we want them out the side. Like Bains, obviously with Dignay coming in. But once you start sketching past the surface, you look at the replacements. The replacements are all very, very young, very, very unproven. Sigarton replacements is key in that. With Charleston, who's a young lad himself, and... Wolcott replacements, is had them all with luckment. Possibly Dominic Arblun Lewin. Possibly Dominic Arblun Lewin for the forward place. Nias for the forward place. Tom Davies for the Snidlin Garner role. You know, Benny Benningamy for the Snidlin Garner role. Right back, John Joe Kenny. Holgate is our only centre-back replacement as we speak. You know, that worries me. If any of these players get injured, we are going to be relying on a lot of youngsters this season. Yes, youngsters who've played in the Premier League, but we will be relying on a lot of youngsters. That's concerning at the moment, especially with... You know, okay, Blassie's still about, but he's been told these, you know, surplus two requirements. Yes, we've got Sando, again he's another one, very unproven. So, I mean, that's what concerns me. I mean, how do you feel about that? A message, yes, a message, but again he's a player. Will he be here in three or four days? Yeah, you look at the team and we need, it's clearly obvious we need a centre-back. Like I've said before, we need a centre-manfield player for me definitely to go into the team. Squad wise, I suppose it's a tough one because the players you've got rid of, I think most people want to just rid of them. And then as you bridge that gap of being a squad player and at a club that isn't really, it's not in your ear, and we don't know where it's going to be this season. And I suppose ideally you want to bring youngsters through to be part of that because they're the core of, they should be the core of any side. But you're right, I suppose, in some respects, any injury is always going to shine a spotlight on it. I mean, you can look at it the other way, you know, we've brought a young goalkeeper in, so we're well-versed at goalkeeper. You know, John Joe Kenny's played at right back before in the Premier League, this is our first year. We've got bains in Dignay, you know, you would expect it to be Dignay and bains as a back-up, centre-back as a big hole. You go into midfield, you've got Ghana, Snyddlen, Davis, Bessage, Ben Ingemi. It's your day, without a shadow, without. You've got Guilfe, Cairyn Dahl, but then again Luchwyn could play in that role, as well, I suppose. Davis, you know, there's players, but you shoot on and that. So I suppose we're not, it's unlikely we're going to bring in more than three, it might be one, it might be two. So if we were to bring a centre-back in the centre of midfield player, would you still have those, I suppose you would still have those concerns, because the players you mentioned were not going to be the players. Well, I just look at that game and I think, you know, if you've got a tight game and you look into the mental changes, how do we change things around? Dominic Calvin Lewis, Luchwyn, you know, Nias, they're really only the three, Addy, you know, in terms of attack and rise. We've got players, Dahl for that signature role, yes, but that's what I'm saying, there's not a... It's harder, isn't it? I mean, if we bring in a centre-back, then okay, you've got the option and you've got the likes, you've got players on the bench. That might be a half-decent mix of players there. Let's say we get a 24, 25 or let's just say, then you've got a cross-spectrum, I suppose. You've got an older fella, a younger fella, and two in the middle. Left-back, yes, younger. I just think that, I just look at it and think, where are you really? Everywhere, honestly, everywhere, all over the pitch. You know what I mean? Because you don't worry about a bright back, are you? But I am, because I'm worried all over, honestly, I'm worried all over. There are a couple of injuries, and you're looking at it and going, we're relying on kids too much. But then out of your... Are you brilliant at any? Are you saying that we shouldn't have been getting rid of the plays we've got rid of? No, no, not at all. I think a lot of those plays were done. I just think, I just... So at this moment in time, I suppose there's not really much we can do about this. Only about that, only if you... I suppose it's a case of buying players who are coming in as squad players, or you bring... What's the point in that, almost? Because you do, though, you've got... Surely you've got to buy players who are going to be part of your squad. Well, I look at space, and they've got good players, but their squad depth isn't great. People talk about them better than the weakest squad depth. You know, look at Liverpool, look at the clock they've done it. I mean, for a few years, he was saying they had four team players, and the rest were just kids and whatever. So it's hard when you're... Listen, it's all... It's some but, it's all... It is all about, you know, where everything can keep the majority of that team's fit all season, and without having your up and things, then it might be plausible. That's fair enough. It's waste casing, aren't it? Of course. And of course it... But listen, on the push side, the likes of Dominic Arvindlun, the likes of Tom Davies, the likes of John Jo. They've got Premier League experience under the belts, so they know how to deal with that. There's also senior players still around who can talk to these players and help them, and there's leaders from that point of view. So it's not... I'm not massively worried about, like that first 11, obviously we need the players we need, we know what we need. I just think I'm a little bit worried that once you scratch the surface, we... And you're right. Actually, the best way to get squad players is by better players and make some of your first team players, squad players, which is obviously the way you should do it. That's the way you should do it. You know, you should make, you know... Not veins because it's a squad player. Well, then you make like Snidel on a squad player. And even you saying, well, you know, gan I need to open... I suppose... Listen, this is touching water. When someone like James McCarthy comes back, if he can be fit, if it's a big weight, then suddenly you've got a player there, you've got to actually rely on him. But I think that's the problem we fell in last season. We were like, well, as soon as we get James back and as soon as we get Balasi back and as soon as James McCarthy's fit will be down, but it doesn't always go like that. Listen, I think it's a concern and I think we need, I think by bringing a couple plays in this week, maybe two or even three if we could, even if they were on loan, then suddenly the squad looks a lot healthier and I know they do want them so from that point of view, it's just a concern. I felt like I had to get it out and I feel better for getting it out. Bad thanks for sharing. You know, he flipper a cathart. There you go.
