Re: Out of Contract 2022

NathStPaul Would rather our defenders can defend than play 50 yard passes accurately tbh. Hoping we keep things extremely basic at the back next season.


Big plus one. Get it clear then re organise.

Re: George Puscas leaving?

Didn't we play Yids in a back 3 once? And he looked fairly ok / no worse than our other cbs?

Re: George Puscas leaving?

If we have the squad to play with 2 up top then great. But lets not wedge players into the team just to use them. Play the best system for the players you have. That was VP downfall last season. he continued with his system still thinking we had Joao, Olise and Richards in the team, when the realit...

Re: Out of Contract 2022

I wonder if the EFL will use pie charts for the northern clubs and over priced bar charts for the southern club in the proposed business plans.

Re: Left backs

I do think its the way that the academy's have been sup for a while now. Get a a few quicker players to play CB, convert failed wingers as full backs. If you got a CB with a bit of pace, you can essentially play with 4 man defence using wing backs. Split your CB and get your defensive minded cm to d...

Re: George Puscas leaving?

If we are in a position that we are worrying about going over 25 players contracted come end of the window then I would be fairly happy with our transfer business.

Re: Out of Contract 2022

Are we the only club in the league under these restrictions? If we are restricted to only one year deals then next year we could possibly have every player OOC which seems just a tad unfair. Feel like it gives everyone a competitive edge over us in every circumstance. I know its the rod we made for...

Re: New GK

I think as its the first signing of the summer, it needed to be something a little more exciting than an average keeper, I understand thats where we are at and all. But come on. Ince may see things different but replacing like for like is not what we need right now. Literally every area on the pitch...

Re: New GK

Rafael and Southwood were both far better than average to begin with. You are talking complete bollocks. My recollection, particularly of Southwood, was that he was extremely popular (with the fans) and performing well. It’s almost as if the Derby mistake blew his confidence completely This. And at...

Re: New GK

Preferably I would go for someone who is a clear upgrade on what we have. So we dont bloat a position of mediocre players. Lumley by all accounts, is not an improvement just another bang average champ keeper that makes mistakes. If this is the calibre of player we are going in for this summer then w...

Re: New GK

Pass.

Looked shaky on crosses and a solid defence got him through games. A decent shot stopper but no better than Southwood. Probably wanting high end Champ wages too.

Re: Lucas Joao off?

We massively struggled with out him in the team. However that was due to the way we played and didn't change our style of play or formation. If an decent offer comes in I would accept - yes he is very good player but we only seen that for only half a season at a time. Hopefully as now we have some s...

Re: Out of Contract 2022

All valid points and could be a storm in a tea cup if we sign a recognised stopper soon. But until we do, its going to look silly to be letting him go.
Best thing for Luke is to get back between the sticks.

Re: New GK

A top class keeper gains you 15 points a season, i think when Southwood started he gained us about 5....then lost us 5. Then got dropped. Smithies would be ideal, been in the league for a while I feel he still has something to prove. Foster, there is something very unlikeable about him and I cant pu...

Re: Out of Contract 2022

Next season there'll be no room for passengers. Southwood as good as he is has reached a level. If he had grown a few inches taller would be a different matter altogether. But his replacements and Rafa showed to be no better and we continued to have gk handling issues which highlights that the issu...

Re: Out of Contract 2022

We went through 3 1st team keepers (plus Hein) last season all highly thought of at the time they started for us all of them had clangers...... that points me to a different issue in my eyes. If he is being told he isn't first choice and needs to leave to find that then fair enough as he clearly wa...
