    We signed Matty Craig with no plans where he would fit into the team.

    Agree with that. I think sensational might be a bit much but I definitely would’ve liked to have seen more of him. Be interesting to see where he ends up this season.

    Agree about the permanent deal too. Hopefully he settles in well and we have a real player on our hands for at least a few years.

    Nope, sensational. Honestly think he’d be up there with the midfielders we’ve had since Redfearn.

    Only joking. Sensational is strong. Just easy to type with one hand on my phone.

    Yeah gunna have to shift some more on. Especially if Yoganathan is to be given an opportunity.

    He mentions box to box in his interview, so more likely Russell or Phillips.

    Can get Phillips cheaper. Hourihane and the club really rate Russell. Phillips will be the one gone out of those two.

    Coin toss with those two. I favour keeping Russell because DKD offers same goal threat as Phillips. That said, if DKD left I'd want to hang onto Phillips.

    Tell you what, I know that highlights video will make him look good, showing his best bits but it's one of the most impressive I've seen.

    I have to question whether it was AI generated though. One of the clips showed him tussling with a fit Josh Benson.

    If Phillips does go I hope that we give Yoganathon a fair crack at replacing him.

    I think he’ll get plenty of football. Loads of games for this midfield. Wouldn’t surprise me if Kelly was Nwakali replacement. We need six central midfielders for the season in this system.

    Thanks for sharing.
    Some will say they're only clips and not a true reflection but there's 7mins + there and he looks pretty damned good to me.
    As someone else has said on here, almost Hammill-esque.

    Finally someone with a bit of pace who can carry the ball in midfield.

    Although I think Vimal might also be candidate for that
