As others said. Benson will go back. Yalcouye doesn't seem to be impressing Matos based on his comments. First business has to be a defending right back. I would be looking for a number 10, and options to replace Ronald. So 3 signings.
 
I'm also surprised Yalcouye didn't get any minutes on Saturday, when we needed more energy in that 10-15 mins. Big reputation, hasn't delivered.
 
Ill have pelters again probably but I think Ollie Cooper has something to offer in a Matos team.
There is absolutely no way dead wood like him should be given a sniff back here, hardly pulled up trees in bang average league 1 team. Sooner he is cut the better.

Can see what you mean though in terms of pressing and chasing, but surely Widell can play that role
 
Parker has looked decent when given an opportunity- now might be his time
I think so too and wrote it here few times, but there might be something behind the scene, maybe Key’s position within the squad hierarchy or something else, that prevents Parker from playing. So sending him on a loan might benefit everyone.
 
I'd recall Congreave ahead of him. Not even a regular for Portsmouth
better that he takes Benson's place in the squad than taking up a squad place at Portsmouth and he would at least offer another wing/forward option and maybe Matos could get something out of him.

I thought he had a decent press on him when I saw him last season and that could work for Matos

Agree, Bianchini I don't expect to ever be a game-changer, but he strikes me as a very useful physcial asset for a high-pressing side. Modern football systems routinely have 'systems players', who provide little statistically, but suit a manager's intent perfectly; Bianchini might not be the 'perfect' fit for this, but he's lightning quick and always looked to lead the press when we've used him previously. I refuse to believe his net contribution to the squad would be lower than Ronald's
