What would be your strategy for next season

[Undercoverinwurzelland]

Something to improve the atmosphere. I don't know what exactly, but I really don't think it helps.

Only better football will do that I think.

[North Cardiff Blue]

Absolutely, so stop with this nonsense we just need to add a few players onto an already settled team when we are sending 5 loan players back.

Less of a rebuild than the last few, and we can get better loans to replace I think Phillips will come back again, and maybe Grant?

Less of a rebuild because your messiah has signed, wether that be permananet or reneweing the contracts, the most one dimensional midfield in the division for the next few years. Terrific.

The defence and attack still needs to be rebuilt as much as it was this time last year.

At least weve got a decent goalkeeper I suppose.

[Cleve van Leef]

Replace Tan

And who would you replace him with?

Santa Claus

Santa Claus

At least we'd see him once a year.

Very good, Eric.

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.

[Dembe]

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.

I'll try but it's such fun

Bit of banter is all good but it gets a bit silly when it drags on into unrelated threads, I know it can be great fun

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

I think you’re right.

[The Bloop]

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.

[ToTaL ITK]

Ohhhhhhh that's a tough one.Win more matches by scoring more goals

[Mr Soul '68]

And what's his idea of quality - a CF who works hard in defence? Wingers who are good at playing on the wrong side and cutting in on their stronger foot every time they get the ball? CMs who specialise in passing back to their defenders?

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.
