Monty Burns Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 4 minutes ago, Midsblue said: He’s obsessed with 4-3-3 so throwing 3 strikers together to see which can gel immediately. Everyone knows it’s not the strikers but midfield. OK he could be lining up midfielders in January but we need a stopgap now. Some big bastard who can break up play and at least string a pass. Maynard can do neither - he’s a lower league centre half. When he come on he just kicked the ball forward, anywhere and mostly to their players so we were on the back foot again. Lost count the amount of time he had the ball and didn’t even look - just hoofed it away or quick pass to anyone. 'Maynard is shit he just sometimes wins the ball and then boots it straight up in the air' is the most accurate heads up of an unknown player l have ever seen on here.

PeteG Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 It's almost like this rumour on the 2 strikers being close to signing was leaked to the Oldham Times within hours of yesterdays defeat was a smokescreen for DU inept record. Also, Nuttall turned down "an amazing offer" only weeks ago and big Dave only wants players who really want to come here and play for the badge, not money. It's like someone has hit the panic button.

I think the fact hes playing for the only club lower than us in the league has clouded my opinion of him and there likely won’t be any winning mentality from him at present. Apparently we are “confident” of both him and Willoughby from Chester Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True Tic Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 I think there’s a takeover in the offing with Scunthorpe. Just with the Oldham Times saying Latics are confident of landing both of them but I’d be very surprised if we did. In any case he’d still probably only play one up front Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clifford Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 We've a squad littered with shite players and lads who physically cannot play anymore. Why are we moaning/shocked that the Royles and the manager have seen this and want to get better players? Quality strikers are a must and in a week we may have more than one. Fondop, Luamba and Porter are not the answer for different reasons unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarddog73 Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 We are falling in to one of the age old reasons for our failures, buying 8 players to do one mans job, probably spending 10k+ a week on strikers when we could have two very decent ones with a back up, it's all irrelevant in any case because we could have Haaland up front and Unsworth would play him as a CDM and isolated up front, we sit so deep with nobody to link up play it's gone past embarrassing, didn't go yesterday but second half I honestly had to look who we had in midfield because Chapman was never mentioned and Peck occasionally, you honestly wouldn't of known they were playing, now that can't be right?.

penrhyn Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 We dont have any strikers othe than Reid that have scored anywhere near 20 goals a season . With the exception of Porter who is out and more than likely will never play for us again. Abrahams is on loan, Luamba needs to go on loan. And it appears Fondop as big and strong as he is cant handle two games a week . Or stay fit for one game and has never been prolific . So I can see why signing further forward additions is part of the rebuilding plan . Yes the squad is bloated with players who should not be here , I expect quite a few to be gone by whatever means in January .Hopefully Rooney scoring yesterday will kick start him and we can play him in his best position . We still have work to do in midfield and need another quality addition or two depending on what is happening with the the loan players in that area.
