Current squad

Re: Current squad

It's been said before that he could well be an interesting option at wing-back. By all accounts he's had a pretty good season with Oxford and might be a dark horse for remaining and getting some game time

Once upon a time maybe, but it's probably a bit late to start experimenting with that now.

Re: Current squad

He’s been playing number 10. He’s the furthest thing from a right back. And he’s crap. He’s scored one goal all season.

But he runs around a lot!

I'm pretty sure that's the entire thought process of people who suggest that Whyte could play wing-back.

He was playing as a winger at the time, and the one metric that he was anything other than completely forgettable in was he put in a lot of tackles. Has a bit of pace and can cross it.

It isn't a huge stretch of the imagination from a winger that tackles a lot to a wingback, but as pointed out he's been playing centrally for a while.

He didn’t know what he was doing as a winger though, and wing back has more responsibility. He tries hard and is an honest player but he isn’t good enough. Wish him well though. Hull didn’t want him back when they went up, which says a lot

What did Paolo Maldini say about defending? "If I have to make a tackle, then I have already made a mistake" or something like that.

Re: Current squad

We wouldn't get money for him (only 1 year left on his contract) and he's not on huge wages so he's not someone we'd be desperate to move on - so I was thinking in those terms what could he be utilised as.

Alternatively a cheeky swap deal (plus a bit of cash) with Oxford for Cameron Brannigan!

My thinking was when warnock used him as a winger he spent more time at RB and seemed like he may be able to adapt to it, as let's be honest he was shit attacking.

Just opinions, it's good for a chit chat on here.

Re: Current squad

Wonder if they give Connolly a new deal?

Connolly has been offered a new deal, and the club will trigger the option of an extra year. Barton wants him back at Bristol Rovers. Would probably be a good thing for his development.

I love a spreadsheet

I need a Pdf or better a power point presentation

Re: Current squad

Update required please.

I reckon, we need a minimum of 2 CH, 2 FB, 3 MF, 2CF & a winger another 10 on top of the 4 already in.

I think that's right following the retained list.
Lots of work still to do or it'll be a difficult season.
