Craig Noone

Will he start next year? I think only pre-season will tell. A big year for Noone, I think he'll mainly be an impact player for us off the bench. Malky seems to believe he's still developing as a player, I think give him a year or two and he will be a fantastic servant who may surprise a few in becoming a long serving player for us, so long as Malky is a long serving manager.



Would you start him?
Loan him out?
Bench him?
Sell him?
Put him in development?

I like to think he will get to start some games as he is more than capable of taking on prem defenders, but depending on who we bring in i think he will be more of an impact sub

He deserves a chance however I dont think he will make the cut, just think he lacks that bit of real natural pace for the prem.

Out of the wide men we currently have Bellamy, Noone, Conway and Smith I'd say Smith is the least likely to play a significant part next year. Bellamy may well start to play more centrally behind a striker as he starts to get on a bit. So that leaves Noone and Conway as our wide men. I expect Malky to bring in someone like Mackie, Phillips or Ince but I still see Noone as getting a chance and probably Smith who is the one pushed out of it.

If he is hungry and willing he will be fine.

Most fullbacks don't get tested enough imo.
