Stars should be desperate to be part of Louis-Dreyfus vision

Lee Johnson is going to need to utilise his squad over the next few weeks. There are a lot of games coming up and he will need to make sure everybody is up to match speed for when they are called upon. This may be his hardest task. That said, there is real flexibility in this squad and whoever Johnson chooses to play doesn’t seem to weaken the team.

I’m a big fan of Lynden Gooch and was delighted to see his performance on Saturday. I thought he was outstanding and scored another ‘worldie’ goal.

The signing of Jordon Jones and the prominence of Jack Diamond seems to have brought out the best of him and hopefully that may continue. I wouldn’t be hugely surprised or disappointed to see some changes against Fleetwood tonight as Johnson’s style and principles seem to have been bought into by the whole squad.

It’s a perfect scenario when all of the players enjoy playing for their manager and hopefully whoever plays will be ready to go. I think everyone has to place their trust in this manager, as he’s starting to really look at home here. I’m sure there are even more improvements to come, especially when everyone is fit.

On the wider scale, you sense there is something special happening at the club, what with Kyril Louis-Dreyfus coming in. If I was a player, I’d be desperate to be part of it.

So with that in mind, automatic promotion doesn’t seem as big a pipe dream as one may have thought a couple of months back.
