GlossopLatic Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 3 minutes ago, nzlatic said: Totally. There’ll be injuries, suspensions, dips in form etc but we still should have decent quality to choose from. Weren’t we relying on Chris Porter this time last year?! Indeed and when we have those dips in form injuries and suspensions we will ride it out quite easily. What I hope is that whichever players are not in the 1st 11 at the start (not just the strikers we have depth across the whole pitch) realise how important they are to the success of this season. They will be crucial. No team can get promoted anymore purely off the strength of its 1st 11 it needs that second 11 who will all play a part this season if we are tobget promotion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fondop is a good impact player, but I really believe that we should replace Nuttall with a substantial upgrade. Everyone has their own opinion. I think he's ponderous, has a poor first touch, has no pace, doesn't chase defenders down and doesn't even attempt to track back when he loses the ball. Hopefully, he'll prove me wrong. Where are we finding someone who is "significantly better" than someone who got 16 goals last season? Bearing in mind, we've only had 3 players score more league goals than that in a season in the last 25 years... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you not say that even if Nuttall had a stinker of a season that the other 3 are perfectly capable of scoring enough between them to get us up?

Fair enough if it's a few weeks/months into the season, but we haven't even kicked off yet and people are whinging about a guy who didn't even play in a 6-1 win. I don't mind disagreements but come on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind disagreements but come on. I'm basing my argument on last season. Basing anything on pre-season is ridiculous. I just don't get what anyone sees in him, but I am genuinely happy to be proven wrong in the coming season. I hope he does impress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm probably being a bit reactionary, it just worries me that if certain players/the team don't get off to a flyer there's gonna be an immediate backlash. This season should be a clean slate I think, for everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lags Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 No idea about Chorley away match, I was checking out Norwegian rain. However to join the debate, if two of our strikers bag 20+ goals next season and the other two chip in with 15+, we will win the league. DU will be carried shoulder high along with Frank up to the pub for a good drink. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
