Spot on with your comments. Even when Isaac Davies comes back to us, Mr Negative will be looking at how good he is at defending.
We still need a hell of a lot of players and a lot of players moved on
At least a CB, LB, CM, 2 Wingers, 2 strikers as a minimum
Then ideal, A RB, another winger and another striker and a 10.
you going with a squad of 50 then?
No like I said a lot have to be moved on.
CB, LB, Wingers x 2 and striker just replace the loan players we can’t really rely on ODowda and Ramsey. I would hope we can move on Sawyers, Rino, Romeo and ideally Wintle. Out on loan probably go Bagan, Tanner, Ashford.
Assuming all the loan players go:
* 1 maybe 2 CBs (if Tsunoda & Fagan-Walcott aren't deemed good enough in pre-season)
* A LB & RB (to challenge Ng & challenge/improve on Collins)
* Goodness knows what to do to sort out our midfield. We've got far too many. Like to see King get a chance. Let Adams, Sawyers & Rinomhota go. Joel Colwill loan perhaps? Not impressed by Siopis & Wintle but they're going nowhere.
* Attacking midfielders - Colwill to start most games. Not sure we'll see much of Ramsey, but Turnbull can play there too.
* Wingers - loan for Tanner. Can't rely on O'Dowda being fit much.
* Up front - Can't see Robinson staying. Like to see Davies get a chance, and Ashford. Need an experienced striker as well with good movement and pace.
* Desperately need to change formation - either 3-5-2 or 4-4-1-1, depending on whether we've got FBs or WBs.
Serious question. Leaving aside the back 4, when was the last time we had a player who was genuinely 'class' ? Tomlin ? Moore ? Hoillet ? NML ? When you consider what's come through the revolving door the past 3 seasons, I can only think of Philogene. Everything's just so ordinary. For me there's no anticipation when the subs. are coming on, just an anxious squint across to the dug out to check it's not Wintle. If it's down to wages, ditch what we can and bring in a good championship striker and a good centre midfielder. You can't bring the youngsters into this current squad..
Steady and dare I say it boring progress.
We aren't that far from the play offs. We lack consistency which probably will improve with experience in not changing too much.
We need a striker who can score more than half a dozen goals.
I absolutely want Bulut to stay. It's not been a bad season (not a good one) and he deserves a chance to build.
As ever I'd like to see more youth come through, even if it's short periods at the tail end of games where we are winning.
I'd like a more formal role for Ramsey off the pitch, training, ambassadorial, the odd game where he can etc.
Something to improve the atmosphere. I don't know what exactly, but I really don't think it helps.
You have identified in one post what the manager hasn't been able to see all season, the formation he wants to play doesnt suit the players. That's a good start.
Only better football will do that I think.
I think you’re right.
Anyone who signs 14 players and still can't make a team that suits his style probably isn't up to the job.
My approach would be to lighten the midfield and then look at getting a box to box midfielder to carry the ball up the pitch..
Agree with a lot of what rjk had to say and think 2 strikers is the way to go, our wingers have been ineffective with the way the manager chooses to play, Grant and Bowler are going back so I'd be looking at changing the way we set up, can keep a winger on the books such as Tanner and I'd loan him out until January.
My general approach would be to stop being so passive, get on the front foot and not be scared to have a go at teams, set up to win not to survive 70 minutes and hope we nick a goal. Play out from the back, have no ideas how good Tsunoda is but id look at him pre season and have someone like him or Ng at the back who are comfortable on the ball, assuming we are going 3 at the back I'd get Goutas and McGuinness at the back as the big lumps to do the heavy load of defending.
you can't just haver one "out" so one approach would be to use the wingbacks to carry the ball forward and find a man in the middle, we'd need a mobile box to box player comfortable on the ball as welt be a part of the build up, have one defensive minded player also not scared to find a pass, and attacking midfielder/cam with vision and some pace up top to compliment a bigger man.
Definitely need to raid the loan market. A good quality striker would be the one I'd concentrate my funds..if we can afford to buy even better. Need wing backs both sides.
Use the youth more.
Admire anyone putting pen to paper and explaining their approval - I have neither the energy or nous for this type of debate but one thing I would say is that all this is risk free as it never has to be tested with people's livelihood at risk
I don't mean necessarily the players and manager but the backroom / support staff that take the brunt with relegation (especially multiple) and we have seen how long it takes for clubs to recover from poor decision making eg Luton Portsmouth Wrexham etc and some never recover
Nonetheless an interesting read in most parts
Its just a few fans having a bit of a chit chat on what they'd like to see
When we got promoted we had managers who were able to create a team that performed better than the sum of its parts. The current incumbent, and his immediate predecessors manage to do the complete opposite.
I like the idea of changing to 3412 but we need the players to do that.
Christ. There’s some *****ng guff written on here lately. This thread sums it all up.
You seem like you'd be such a nice bloke to go for a pint with.
I know
Ohhhhhhh that's a tough one.Win more matches by scoring more goals
