I think the 8 second rule might lead to new tactics, with more players tearassing forrad at breakneck speed into unattended areas when their goalie has the ball, cos if the goalie is under pressure to release the ball quickly he's going to knock it into the channels. All the more reason for very mobile CM's.
I think also we are going to see more 'diving' by goalies if they feel the slightest touch when, presumably, the 8 seconds starts again after they get up.
I think it will go the way of the ‘steps’ and ‘6 second’ rules. A bit of early hoo-har then totally forgotten about in 6 months and players just do what they did before -

I was 50:50 on this one. At times, Fleck looked absolutely exceptional. He clearly has plenty of class - but will need youth and pace around him. I can see us rotating Naylor and Fleck alongside Stirk.
I think Naylor will be a defensive midfielder and fill-in right sided centre back (as the situation demands) -

I think we can only judge him fully, after the pre season and how he performs in competitive games in the new season. Paul Cook has obviously seen enough from him already, or he wouldn't have got a contract. We've had some decent ex Sheffield United players in the past, so I'm hopeful about the two we have now.
My Blade loving brother raves about John Fleck, and he certainly wasn't wrong when we signed Salmons, Deardon and Badger.
I think we’ve seen enough of him to see his qualities and as long as we’ve not gone silly money I’m happy with it. We just need someone who can cover a lot of ground and get around the pitch to go alongside him. Hopefully Stirk is that player -
