In terms of impactful signings, Ebou has etched his name into Rams folklore because without him I don’t doubt for a single minute that we wouldn’t have been promoted automatically. He’s been absolutely phenomenal for us. 

At first there was Osman, then there was Thorne, followed by the trio of Mount, Wilson and Tomori.. now there is Ebou Adams.

And Taribo West before that lot.  Came in on a self-proclaimed mission from God and pretty much kept us in the Prem on his own.

Conceded just 7 goals with him on the pitch. (17 games).

I didn't get to many games this season, but did see his debut away at Charlton. The team looked much better straight away and it was also when the 3 cbs looked like it could work.

It took a few weeks for people to realise, but this wasn't 5 at the back. It was 3, but with Adams infront stopping the opposition running at that. As the season went on, Adams started to show he could play a bit too and became more than just a great ball winner. His positional sense is great too, always in the right position.

Regardless of other signings, getting Adams in early would already give us a solid defensive foundation for next season, alongside our exisiting CBs, including Forsyth and Nyambe who could play a back 3 too, plus Wildsmith.

In terms of priorities, Wilson, Ward, Sibley and Elder are decent enough for the wing backs.

We can focus on more attack minded midfielders and centre forwards.

Great stat.

When the pressure was mounting and the race for the autos was really heating up we conceded 4 goals across the last 11 games, and 2 of those were in the same game against the runaway champions. 2 goals conceded in the remaining 10 games in that spell. Bolton never really stood a chance when our defense was that imperious.

If that is so surely that’s reasonable. I’m afraid we cannot expect to carry on recruiting on free transfers for the championship. What we can’t be doing is paying 6million for Bradley Johnson and 5 million for Waghorn and other such rubbish. £600k would be great value
