Thread: Yesterday's players who should make up the first Xl next season.

  1. #1

    Yesterday's players who should make up the first Xl next season.

    If we are to improve there must be some changes.

    McGregor No
    Richards Yes
    Morrison Yes if Manga doesn't stay
    Bamba Yes
    Bennett. Not sure. If he can keep improving Yes.
    Gunnarsson Yes
    Whittingham ............arghh...........No
    Noone No
    Hoilett No
    Zahore Yes
    Harris Possibly but he needs to do more, every game.

    Halford No
    Pilkington No

    My own issue with the above is that we concede too many goals and don't score enough. A. Better midfield would improve that. Do we need new defenders, apart from Bamba, and will we find them?

    Morrison actually won a header yesterday, unfortunately it was in the opposition's box, AGAIN.

    When is he going to win a defensive header.

    I thought Jazz Richards has been playing well since he came back into the team & had a very good game yesterday so I would definitely have him as a 'yes.' Although Peltier defends well he offers little going forward whereas Jazz can do both jobs.

    Yeah, he did ok yesterday, but not seen enough to make him a definite yes for me.

    McGregor is unaffordable, Harris and Hoilett out of contract unfortunately. We need at least one more quality fullback and a creative goalscoring midfielder.

    Accepting that they all work hard ........
    Bennett, Richards, Hoilett, Ralls, Harris, Zahore are often 6 out of 10 players, sometimes 8
    They all need to step up to a minimum 7 every game and push for 8 and more.

    In a winning team yes. But not this season.

    To win promotion we need a team averaging 8 not 6.

    Re: Yesterday's players who should make up the first Xl next season.

    Is try to keep Harris and Hoilett, Ralls for Whitts and maybe Huws for Noone with Kennedy as competition for Harris. From yesterday it's just Ralls for Whitts and Huw's for Noone for me. Bennett has been excellent last few weeks and is nailed on for me, with full back competition/cover from John, Peltier and Connolly we are sorted.
    Also Pilkington to cover a few spots- so I'd keep him... another striker, box to box midfield ball winner to compete with Gunnar. Maybe Saadi back or Healey as 3rd striker and we have the nucleus of a decent 1st team squad.
    Not given up on Lambert yet as a decent bench option either.
    Will need a keeper, would love to keep McGregor, but other names mentioned would also be decent, definitely Ruddy or even Hennessy or Lindegaard - all fine.
    Maybe another pacy winger ?

    Where the hell is Fred by the way ?

    I think Zohore has earned the right to have his name spelt correctly

    Bennett. Yes
    Gunnarsson Yes
    Whittingham depending on wages
    Noone Not fussed
    Hoilett not fussed
    Zahore Yes
    Harris yes

    Unbelievable, and I thought you had to give up the booze?

    Mozza wins the majority of his aerial battles, try actually watching him next time.

    While you're at it, try watching the game as well.

    There's great stats web site that has Morrison asceinning far more headers per game than any other City player and also is our top performer overall.

    He might benefit from shaving his hair off or dying it red so that people would notice better the contribution he makes.

    He isn't perfect and does sometimes lose duels he should win and sometimes his distribution is poor, but he's a good centre half. Under-rated by our fans.

    Exactly, if his distribution was a little better though, he wouldn't be playing for us!

    Very good player in both 18 yard boxes, and has had TV pundits and commentators regularly praising his aerial prowess.

    I'm amazed how little fans actually notice whilst at a game, and are quite judgemental, without having a clue about what they're talking about.

    Re: Yesterday's players who should make up the first Xl next season.

    For me first 11

    McGregor Replacement

    Bamba
    Bennett.
    Gunnarsson
    Whittingham Replacement (cry)
    Ralls
    Hoilett
    Zahore
    Saadi

    So, if they all stay, then we'd have 9 players all capable of being first XI already at the club. Add in Murphy, Connolly, Ralls, Kennedy (perhaps), Manga (perhaps) and maybe Saadi too and we have a decent basis for next year.

  18. #18

    Re: Yesterday's players who should make up the first Xl next season.

    Saadi I reckon will be sold and Manga will be gone.

    Someone needs to have a word with Morrisson winning headers in the opposition box and setting up a goal.

    I dont think we are far off being a team capable of challenging.

    Warnock has already stated we can't afford McGregor's wages, the same applies to Manga and Whitts. They are not going to stay on vastly reduced terms. He also has 6 million to spend on 4 new players and has not been impressed with the likes of Noone and John, whilst there are rumours that Harris will not be staying.

    And don't forget Fred.

    He's in the deepest CCS cryo-labs being rebuilt, and about to be revealed as RoboFred - half man, half striker. He will tear up the championship next season. Probably.

    Unless Jimmy the Jock confirms he is garbage, Fred will never be a player.

    Jimmy has already confirmed this. I can't wait to see him next year!

    As you don't like Williams, I don't like Morrison, if you got a problem with that, THEN TOUGH

    Re: Yesterday's players who should make up the first Xl next season.

    I don't understand why Morrison gets so much stick from our fans.
    He's playing really well at the moment and is perfect cover for Bamba who often tries to get in front of the centre forward whereas Morrison is more disciplined in keeping his line.

    Bamba and Manga as a pairing would probably be a disaster as they both come out of position far too often.

    He is club captain and took a shit in the street.
