Great post, Lods.
Charlie only needs to keep going the way he has been - he seems to naturally improve and to have the appetite to do so.
Caleb's problem, IMO, largely mental. He needs to realise that he's expected to be a leader down back now. The time for taking the lead from Simmo, Daisy and Doc is over. I reckon he'll make it and hope to see him step up this year. Very good player.
Sammo. I'm sorry to say that I don't think he'll get there as a midfielder. Has some great skills (although his kicking lacks penetration), but I don't see the appetite to be consistent and work both ways and there's simply too much competition in the midfield now. I hope I'm wrong. His best hope is a move to the HFF. I think he's actually better suited to that role and we lack quality in that area.
Cunners, too, ain't up to it in my view. Does some nice things sometimes, but not enough of them.
Jack has put on some height over the pre-season. I'm not sure whether that helps him or not though! What he really lacks is pace - he's as slow as treacle. As I've said before, I think he should aim to fill Daisy's boots, as a utility who can play forward, back or on the ball. If his pace has improved, he'll make it. I worry for him if not.
