Isn't that squad very midfield heavy, or is it just me reading it wrong?

I think most squads are midfield heavy, some can drop back and some move forward.

Plus playing 4-5-1 you need more midfielders anyway.

2 Keepers. 3 if you include Parish.
6 Defenders. Need 1 or 2 in.
10 Midfielders.
6 Strikers.

Thats without:- Nugent, Oshilaja, Sainte-Luce, Wharton, John, O'Sullivan, Hill, Jarvis and Darko. :ayatollah:

Still worried about our defence and the ability of some midfielders to defend.

I think we will see more defenders come in.

We have kept two clean sheets tho :ayatollah:

I think we need a couple more. I know we've kept 2 clean sheets but we didn't play the front runners, in fairness and I think we've got much tougher games ahead.

Promoted teams are the most dangerous opening weekend as results have shown and Brighton no mugs.

Still to add Connelly, smith and Kim and also I reckon 1-2 defenders and maybe a striker

If that's the case re: defenders and maybe a striker, then nobody will fancy playing CCFC. If we get a team to gel and go on a run, this really could be our season, injuries permitting.

I can't wait for Saturday, even though we're not at our best yet. I've got a good feeling about this one.
