Only Suggs remains on the Unknown list. Including the new signings, the squad is at 18. Will this squad be a small tight knit deal, or will it have some depth (to survive a long season of unknown issues).

A few weeks back Santi Moar was reported as returning but as of this Tweet (Xeet?), it looks like he is moving on from NMU.

So we are down to only not knowing about Tambakis, Yearwood, Suggs, Wehan, and Hamilton. Though there has been chatter that Hamilton is leaving.

• denying the opposing team a goal or an obvious goal-scoring opportunity by a handball offence (except a goalkeeper within their penalty area)

• denying a goal or an obvious goal-scoring opportunity to an opponent whose overall movement is towards the offender’s goal by an offence punishable by a free kick (unless as outlined below)

Serious foul play

A tackle or challenge that endangers the safety of an opponent or uses excessive force or brutality must be sanctioned as serious foul play.

Any player who lunges at an opponent in challenging for the ball from the front, from the side or from behind using one or both legs, with excessive force or endangers the safety of an opponent is guilty of serious foul play.

A studs up challenge makes a tackle excessive.
