steveoafc Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Do you think our squad is now more or less complete or will there still be more arrivals? In my humble opinion, i believe we still need to bring in another specialist centre back, Someone who is aware of what is going on around them, especially at set pieces. Once again we conceded two sloppy goals from corners, we seem to have had this problem for ages now. i don't know if it's a lack of concentration or the players just not up to it. This needs ironing out quickly before the season starts. Other than that we look pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldhamSheridan Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 I think it is complete. I too, think another ccentre back would be awful handy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc0000 Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Not convinced about this squad I must say.... Mid-table looms if this is it I think... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lookers_Carl Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 dont think the team building iscomplete Penney said himself on a laticsworld interview he is looking to bring in 2 or 3 more, but move 2 or 3 on I would imagine any deal for byfield would be subject to a striker going Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hometownclub Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 We still need a Centre Half and a Goalkeeper by my reckoning, and to probably get one or two of our players out on loan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killens_physio Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 absolute must. Agreed. So apart from Greegs and Rubes do we actually have anyone else (bar youth) who can play as centre back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lags Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 (edited) Squad incomplete. due to players needed to be moved on to make way for players to come in. Out- Lewi, Black, Lomax, Lee, O'Grady. All five I would say DP wants shut of. Edited July 31, 2009 by Lags Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We still need a centre half and a striker IMHO. I see your point. However lets take Boro game for example. DP doesn't seem to be one to get on players back's aka Shez (his main short coming) however both coaches repeatedly told Lomax what to do, they'll do this so long. Whilst with O'Grady the look exchanged between the pair of coaches of exsaperation said it all, card marked. Lee is well documented and so far removed from the first team now nailed on. Lewi is history too, although without the public flogging. As for Black he's just not going to cut it. Edited July 31, 2009 by Lags Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BP1960 Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 As per Advertiser clear messages in this. "The team's taking shape but there are certain areas we need to look at. We've only got two centre-halves (Sean Gregan and Reuben Hazell) and in six weeks of pre-season, you find the team's picking itself coming into the last game. "The young kids we've signed aren't first-teamers but we're trying to get a group together of 18 and 19-year-olds because with having seven substitutes this season, you need a bigger squad. "Lee Duxbury (reserve team boss) can develop them and if they're ready, they're ready." Cards marked for O'Grady as obviously not in front of mind. Lewi not delivering and down order. Lee is Lee and on way somewhere? Kelvin will be staying done little wrong but likely to be a sub for now. Black havent seen enough to comment other than others again appear to be jumping line. Rowney, Brooke etc. I wonder if DP made an enquiry for the big centre back Mvoto of Sunderland ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midsblue Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Definitely a centre half with some pace. Boro had a few pacey frontmen but at times Gregan looked like he was wading through treacle and only his mind and tackling ability saved his bacon. Abbott and Byfield seemed to have an understanding but the rest of the strikers either can't cut the mustard or still too young i.e. Brooke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
