Tan will ask him why does he want more strikers after signing Ward and Bogle and also getting Rhys Healey to sign a new contract.
Tbf they were signed on a budget and imho are both light years away from premiership standard.Quote:

Agreed. My point is that since the budget was set, we've been overachieving against the initial objective. Surely nobody expected Ward and Bogle to be the players to get us promoted? If we're still top three in January, then it is surely not unrealistic that Tan will be faced with a decision to either go with what we've got under the current budget and maybe go up via the play-offs, or roll the dice and try and make automatic promotion the new objective?Quote:

Tan should be asking Warnock why the **** is he playing 3 centre halfs at home to a side like Millwall, who everyone knew before a ball was kicked were going to make life difficult, when weve got Tomlin and Damour on the bench?
AgreedQuote:

Paterson and Bennett for me if we play wingbacks. Personally, I prefer 4-2-3-1; I'd have Peltier and Bennett as full backs, play Paterson right wing.
A couple of issues with playing wingbacks.
1. Peltier is not a wing back. Half decent full back, but does not possess the necessary attacking or technical qualities to be of benefit at wing back.
2. If you’re going to play wingbacks then you shouldn’t play wingers as well.
If we are going to persist with wingbacks then they need to be Bennett and Patterson, with 3 in midfield, and Tomlin upfront buzzing around Zohore.
Of the 3 in midfield I’d like to see Damour in there but as long as they are fit then regardless of form Gunnar, Ralls and Bryson will get picked.
The other issue we have with playing wingbacks we haven’t got a decent passer in midfield to get the ball out to them in the space required.
This. 100%Quote:

Like you, I'd love to see a clever, tricky player feeding off Ken.
Good post, point well made..Quote:
