HarryBosch Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 I reckon if we can get a good keeper in - a Ripley or a Lonergan - a leftback, a Welsh or a Douglas type in midfield and Baxter or a Baxter type attacking midfielder/forward we'll have a really, really good chance of doing something this season. I can't see anyone other than McLaughlin, Fane or Flynn leaving, possibly Banks. Maybe Osei out on loan. Fane's the one we need to hang onto in my opinion.

GlossopLatic Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 (edited) Wilson yesterday was our first loan signing this window. Think we will see it used again between now and 31st of August. I know some aren't a fan of the loan market but if you play it properly it can yeild good players at minimal if any cost. I would like to think their is a couple of players in either premier league or top end championship clubs who will be of great use to us who's clubs will want to send on loan to us.

We have the numbers in now interms of a squad we have several options so it should be about quality now rather than quantity interms of anyone brought in between now and the 31st.

kowenicki Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 3 decent signings and top half is a very realistic target, playoffs is then up for grabs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fruitygoo Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Fane did well today... Banks anonymous in terms ot any creativity... If you criticise your making him the whipping boy but he simply isnt good enough.. A passanger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frizzell54 Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 15 minutes ago, BP1960 said: Banks and Green very poor, Did Holloway have one attempt at goal? The subs made no difference at all which is concerning. Having said that Duffus must start against Burton. Should we have played a game last Tuesday? the playes looked drained rather than the expected super fit. Oxford were far sharper. I see what you are saying BP, but this two games in a week nonsense really anoys me. Look at tennis player regular 3, 4 5 hours (both mental and physical and no where to hide; with only a day off between matches). Those guys are super fit. Footballers should cope easily.

Might not necessarily be a fitness thing. I don't see one player in our midfield capable of quick thinking or quick passing. No one can cross a ball with any pace or accuracy. Just catching practice for their keeper all day long. Money needs spending on creative midfield players desperately. Either winger or central or both.

You are right about budgets, you can more or less predict which teams will be in the top 6 of any division on that basis alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh_latics Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Banks gets a lot of grief, but thought Green was absolutely awful today. For an experienced, ex-international, he's got to do a lot more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. And I'm confident Shez could keep this squad up. But if we want to move forward we need to start scoring regularly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
