I'm not basing their capabilities of playing in the PL off of playing Wrexham at all. We will see abut more of what these lads are made of after playing the Prem sides. I just can't see us buying another CM when the club seem to think we need another CB and striker more so.

Maybe. Will just have to see how pre-season goes.

I was dubious about his passing range based off of the u20 stuff I seen but he looked a lot more positive last night/this morning with less time on the ball than he did for the Brazil u20s, with a lot more time.

Whether or not he can hack it against Higher quality opposition is another thing.

Looked solid to me vs Brighton, managed to play a fair few progressive passes, made himself available for the ball with confidence, did a good job defending in the box although was a bit rash with tackles outside of the box. If we had an embarrassment of riches in MF we'd probably want to loan him to a PL club at this point, somewhere like Brighton ironically if they lose Caicedo...

disappointing , has more goal scoring potential than our other mids. should be playing over connor , especially at DM

Connor’s not going to be playing as a 6 though… he maybe played there v Liverpool but not since, so what does that have to do with Santos who by the looks of it, is an actual 6?

Or did people want us to play with Caicedo, Santos and Enzo? With basically little to no creativity or goal threat? Same with Lavia, Caicedo and Enzo?

Who’s going to pop up with a goal from midfield? Gallagher more likely than any of those 3 if I’m honest, was a big reason why his loan spell at Palace went well. Granted when Nkunku comes back if he plays in the hole maybe we will go 4231 and see a more disciplined 2 in front of the defence but doesn’t look likely at the moment.

Conor creates nothing and scores once in a blue moon so he can’t justify his place in the team with creativity and goals. 
He’s an undisciplined work rate merchant with 0 composure , might as well play lavia or Santos in a 3 for the added stability and control which would lead to more attacking opportunities, not to mention it would eliminate connors constant turnovers which destroys a lot of attacks.

More important that he gets a good season of regular football than anything. Is there space in the Forest XI for him? What kind of football do they play?

Danilo, Mangala and Yates played in central midfield this season so far.

Well, if he cannot make his way into starting eleven among these guys, then he is definetly not ready to challange Enzo/Caicedo/Lavia.

But I believe he will be a straight starter and perform well.

Not even on the bench...

Fofana also lost starting spot in Berlin after failing to do anything in many starts. 

Casadei and Hutchinson also starting on the bench in Championship.
