Danny Penfold: The glue that sticks it all together.Once up and running we will finally stop getting overrun in midfield.
Steve Tipping: Massive get. Him and Joe Allen back, that’s a quality central midfield.
Stephen Pritchard: He’s got the quality to get us promoted.
Neil Price: He’s gonna be a big player no doubt.
Derek Cartwright: I think once Allen returns these two in midfield are going to be a force.
Liam Clarkson: Half decent, lost some key touches in the middle. Hopefully as the season goes on they will disappear. Solid.
