HarryBosch Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 GK Coleman RB B Wilson or Brown CB J Wilson CB Dieng LB Mills RW Croft CM Jones CM Kelly CM Winchester LW Forte ST Murphy/Turner/Philliskirk That 11 could do well on it's own if Dieng could consistently produce the good form he did for a while last season and Murphy or Turner could stay fit and find their shooting boots. I hope we sign an experienced, more agricultural Gerrard type (Gerrard himself would be ideal) to play alongside Dieng or Wilson and a big, horrible lump up front to play two up top. Another decent CM would be good given Kelly's injury record, ideally someone who could play right across the midfield to be able to play regularly enough and offer something different when needed. Three proper, quality signings or season long loans rather than pissing about with never will be's is what I'd like to see. Yes, we'll fall short if we suffer injuries with such a small squad but we'll fall short anyway with a larger squad of largely dog:censored:......

yarddog73 Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 If we can keep all our players and add 2 or 3 real quality players we could do really well, a Gerrard type centrehalf, out and out left winger and a top striker would do for me.

aaronoafc Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Poleon is a nailed on starter, Kelly wants pace. I can see Forte and Poleon either side of Turner/Murphy/target man. If done right it could be dangerous, their pace SHOULD ruin teams to be honest so let's hope we see more of it (mainly from poleon) next season. Isn't it 3-4-1-2 he wants to play though? Which would imply someone behind two strikers rather than a LW CF RW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue_Guru Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 (edited) We can only bank on Forte for 50% of the season so LW looks weak to me...along with size and nous up front and another over the hill CB Edited June 8, 2015 by Blue_Guru Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't want to see 3 or 4 loanees coming in again, a couple maybe, but as you say on season long deals. Temporary loans are OK to cover injuries but other than that I would rather blood our own youngsters ie. Truelove, Byrnes, Bove etc. Judging by the transfer activity our 1st choice striker targets will have been snapped up by the time we are able to enter the bidding, however, although it would be ideal, I don't think we necessarily need that 20 goal striker to make an impact next season. We certainly need a target man who can hold the ball up top and more importantly stay fit, but we have already got players if used correctly like Forte, Poleon, Philliskirk, and Turner who are all capable of getting into double figures. I reserve judgement on Murphy until I've seen him in action and fully fit. A big target man, a commanding CB, maybe another versatile defender and possibly one marquee signing to get the fans buzzing and I think we'd be sorted!

deyres42 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Forte is never more than a bad step out of bed from an injury, likewise Turner, Philliskirk is gash, Murphy gave a good impression of being gash, Poleon is a winger and Bove is never a pro whilst I've got a hole in my backside.

cornishblue Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Don't forget an experienced Goalkeeper / left winger to cover Forte / Kelly wants a right back so I make that about 6 signings if we do only bring in the 3 or 4 that has been suggested then I reckon the squad will be woefully thin and lacking proven league 1 class. I am not saying that squad need a massive shake up but we are relying on injury prone key players not getting injured and a lot of young kids stepping up to the mark.

leeslover Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 So 10 league games that he wasn't involved in then...Including about 5 at the end where he smashed his knee in a collision, it's not like he was out every third game with a niggle. He was clearly unfit for a lot of games he did play though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
