00:00What I mean, firstly, they're going to lose a Cagpué and Adepiéga by the looks of it.
00:04Both of their loans have expired and especially second half of the season, they've been massively
00:09crucial, which kind of leaves you then with a back line of Farkassen, Daniels and Allen.
00:18I guess importantly would be firstly hoping that the injury situation is nowhere near
00:25as severe as it's been this season, because we've listed there the players that they've
00:31been missing.
00:35Possibly the wing back areas has been one of the concerns we've spoken about defending
00:40from wide areas.
00:41Walsall have been letting far too many crosses into the box and that's ultimately led to
00:47them conceding the amount of goals that they've conceded.
00:52But yeah, I expect reinforcements in the summer.
00:56Mattsdorf has already said that it's an area that he needs to address.
01:00They can't keep conceding that amount of goals.
01:02They can't keep affording days like they had on Saturday where they lost 5-1 against Wimbledon
01:08and they need to get out of that rut.
01:12But yeah, it's going to be interesting.
01:16I think firstly, Farkassen came back in on the final day and that wasn't Deprecy Farkassen
01:21that we love and know.
01:23He was crucial when he came back from injury in November, but he hasn't been sat on the
01:29bench really since he came back on the Easter weekend and that was the first time we'd seen
01:36anything from him.
01:38He just didn't look right and you just hope that hopefully now he can get a pre-season
01:41under his belt, hit the reset button and come back in the new season fresh because
01:47I feel like a fully fit Presley Farkassen throughout the campaign hopefully, touch wood,
01:53will be a massive boost.
01:55Donovan Daniels has struggled since he came back.
01:57I think he's another one that needs to hit the reset button, but I would fully expect
02:02Matt Sadler to bring in reinforcements, firstly for competition, but maybe even just to bolster
02:06those areas.
