Just your favourites at the moment - doesn't have to be based on how well they are playing just YOUR personal favourites.

For me

Anass Zaroury - hope he has a stellar season. Top lad
Josh Brownhill - always a smile on his face. Seems to always look out for others
Han-Noah- Massengo - just really want him to get a chance and take it.
Jay Rod - as with Josh - another steady character that seems to care about those around him.
Connor Roberts - Underated in many ways. Quiet character but always has a determination about him

Over to you.

I don’t do favourites but the players I would want in the team more than any others if we were playing this afternoon are Cullen, O’Shea, Berge, JBG.

I’d add Esteve to that list to make 5.

Keep that group and we’d be well placed to go straight back up.

For me: Berge, Koleosho, Beyer (if he can get back to how he was alongside THB) Johann, and a physically and mentally fit Foster.

Obv Benson coming on from the bench for the last 20 or so…

Esteve will be a monster this season.

Esteve
Cullen
Berge
Koleosho
Benson

JBG**
Zaroury
Koleosho
Berge
Foster

Favourites:

O’Shea ..............Think he will be dominant this season.
Vitinho...............Gives it everything.
Estève...............This season will do him good.
Berge................Hope he stays.
Amdouni............Haven't given up on him just yet.

Esteve
Berge
Koleosho
Odebert
Benson

Benson
Cullen
Zaroury
Brownhill
Berge

Honestly so weird because I don’t feel like I have much of connection with any of these players.

I would probably say Benson is my favourite just because of them goals in the season before.

But honestly not sure about the rest.

In no particular order:
JBG
Cullen
Benson
Jay Rod
Massengo

That was a nice surprise as I found it harder than I first thought it would be. Must be getting that real pre season optimism and buzz back

JBG
Odobert
Berge
Esteve
O'Shea
Very much looking forward to seeing Massengo & Koleosho playing soon.

JBG
Berge
Benson
O’Shea
Trafford

O Shea
Steve
JBG
Cullen
Berge

O Shea
Beyer
JBG
Cullen
Berge

And big shouts to Steve, Benson, Brownhill.

As many allude, that list is too strong for this level.

Excited for this season, can't wait.

In no order
Berge
Cullen

Plus 2 more......question is too difficult, spelling is a problem, whats the name of the lad from....he could be a favourite....which players song do I like singing...goes down the wing for me.....one of our own......didn't we sign a striker too....at this moment well these two have always been in my top 5
Brian Oneil
Ralph Coates

JBG
Berge
Odobert
Amdouni
Beyer

Guddy
Vitinho
Cullen
Berge
Benson

Influenced by last seasons performances

Berge
O Shea
Esteve
Odobert
Cullen

Would not want any of the above to leave unless there is an exceptional price agreed

First names for me, if they play at their best I also think they're our best players:

Berge
Cullen
Beyer
Odobert
Koleosho

Benson
Berge
Esteve
Cullen
Zaroury

For me these are the 5 names that should be the core of our team next season

Esteve
Cullen
Berge
JBG
Koleosho (mainly because I can't wait to see what he can do)

Given that it's not necessarily based on performances I'd maybe go

Vitinho
Esteve
Zaroury
JBG
Koleosho

Honourable mentions to Berge for pure class and Benson for obvious reasons

Hoping all the above have a big season with us this year.

Koleosho
JBG
Cullen
Zaroury
O'Shea

Benson
Berge
Cullen
Beyer
O’Shea

(Although I suspect at least one of those will soon be off)

As things stand I only recognise players who have given great service to the club.
They are Brownhill, Rodriguez and Gudmundsson.
The rest are simply a collection of individuals who could belong to any club.
It is a soulless experience for me

I'm looking forward to the new season. Call it blind faith or what you will but I believe in Scott Parker. I like the way he comes over in interviews. Yes, I know, you can't always base things on that but I believe in him.

JBG
Esteve
Cullen
O'Shea
Brownhill

I'm so excited for the new season even more so than last year going into the prem. I think we may still lose a player or 3 but I'm confident we have the quality in the squad.

Hope you are right.

Actually a tough one...

The five I like the most (although do think it would be different if talking about how good they could potentially be)

JBG
CULLEN
BERGE
OSHEA
ODERBERT


In terms of potential I do really think ESTEVE and KOLEOSHO could be top level players. Also I realise it's a controversial view but I'd say AMDOUNI has something. If he stays and Parker gets a tune from him.... he has the confidence/arrogance that I think players need to really excel amongst the best.

Benson - for being the winger we always wanted
Zaroury - as above
Foster - my son loves him and his Villa performance
Berge - Rolls Royce
Beyer - Those runs and he plays the piano so there's that

Yeah I was pretty underwhelmed when he was initially linked with the job, but now he is appointed, there is no reason not to back him 100%.

He needs to get some decent results early doors, particularly against Rovers, but hopefully he is viewing that as a massive opportunity
