singe Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Gardner and a first choice keeper make might make a noticeable difference. Clarke and Gerrard don't suddently become crap in 2 months. And a no nonsense midfielder was already on th elsit and seemingly advanced stages so there is 3 of the 5/6. And a quarter of the team. I am sure most of his interview was just frustration and coming straight out of the dressing room. It normally feels like Shez gets more out of his team after the break, so maybe he kept calm for once and it backfired. I do expect Shez to get a reaction from the players on Saturday, and if we don;t then that will be a better indicator. Reportedly Corney was seen to react furiously after Oxford defeat (IIRC) so may indeed be amenable to more signings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not one we HAVE to win yet but an improvement all round has to be seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In relation to the midfield, if we got Welsh/A N other, I'd play him in a three with Banks and Green (I've never seen Gardner play, but he may well be ahead of Banks), with McLaughlin and Tope/Kyeremeh wide, and probably Davies through the middle, since Holloway's about as lethal as a papercut anyway, and his first touch has deserted him, and not seen much of Duffus other than chasing shadows against Burton.

Good point about Kyeremeh too, he'll be like another signing, and seemed to be the stand out player from the reports of matched and unanimously agreed we should sign. With Flynn, who may now get a chance, that is like 4 new players, but a couple of additions would be good., Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Jones used "ping" the ball which usually causes a bit of trouble. You must have thought long and hard to find those two examples!!! So, I'll ask you the same question.........midfield general comes in.....who partners him, Fane or Banks? Glad it's not just me that's noticed the 'floating' technique ever set piece and corner is the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure you've quite grasped the concept of a killer pass which Banks is incapable of as opposed to a floated pass which is pretty to look at in training but ultimately useless!!!

He needs to go behind the strikers for me, and compete with Flynn for a place. Anyone who can't compete with Flynn for a place should probably consider a career change.

Killer passes and floated passes are not mutually exclusive! The goal that Deyres has quoted earlier is a killer pass, and is floated.
