League one forever Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 When you consider that at least half the our current squad are garbage. We are still at least 6/7 short from anything resembling a half decent squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Magehy Hope and the keeper. Solid signings. Clarke and Hart could be punts but you never know. Still need a back up keeper, a left back, a ball winning midfielder. (A shit version of Kante will do) two wide players, and two strikers. (Mac will be off at 12.01 on the 1st of July.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be sat behind the directors box and Clarke will probably have his Mrs sat there so he will do for me… Having said that keep him fit (which could be the issue) he sounds like he knows his game which is 100% an upgrade on the 3 we have chosen to bin but you are absolutely right, 5 signings in one day does not hide we still have a fucking lot to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Careca9 Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Blackwood looked short, may have developed into something but dont think we are in a position to be carrying people for 2/3 years in the hope they make it like Blackwood/Barnes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hold up here. Didn't the Cheltenham goal just hit him after the keeper saved a shot? An absolute flop and good riddance to him. No wonder the Lemsagam brothers don't like it when the Head Coach makes a signing if this is the kind of player a head coach brings in... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree specifically about Blackwood and Barnes, but I think giving players a year or 18 months to settle at the club as squad players can pay off if they aren't on high wages. Look at Kieran Lee and Dale Stephens, it took them at least 18 months to settle in but when they did they were very useful players. Matt Smith is another example, albeit an extreme one. It can also lower the turnover of players year-on-year. Whelan is the best example of this type of player in the current squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just watched it back and not really. Not an amazing goal by any means but it was a good little flick when the ball was behind him. It involved skill to score it which other players wouldn't have been able to. As I said, no tears shed due to him leaving but I wouldn't be surprised if he does well with his next club and has a decent career. Reminds me a little of Lee Erwin and Chris Porter in their early stages with us. Pretty underwhelming starts but then hit a rich vein of form given time. He was always going to be a player for us to develop (Kewell said as much in his 1st interview), so it's harsh to say that he's a flop when he was out injured for months which hindered his development just as he was getting game time.

Tomas Egert syndrome: gets a free pass by hardly ever playing, because it's easier to look average when you only play a few minutes at the end of games that are already foregone conclusions Players who aren't fit enough to play a decent number of matches are a luxury we can't afford, unless they are an exceptional prospect.

It’s one of our biggest issues, carrying at least 5 or 6 (sometimes on relatively big money) in the squad who hardly ever play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
