League one forever Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 I think Kurt and Hogan will go, and we’ll sign 2/3 more which would put on the 20 outfield players that DR said MM wants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GKing521 Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 (edited) Seem to remember Lang making a mockery of Monthe. Don't think he handled the mighty Chris O'Grady with ease either. That being said, we're now at a level where the word 'Barnet' strike fear. So, he'll probably do alright. Edited July 2 by GKing521 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oafc1955 Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 Yeah I’ve seen that which conflicts what I had read earlier. If Rochdale are willing to let him go and we are prepared to pay a small fee you would have to be a little concerned? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BradKnowles1 Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 Something must be showing up on the stats to show Jesrun to be good. Rochdale played a lot of boring sidewards backwards football passing it about. Maybe they didn’t play to his strengths. hopefully he comes here and is the missing piece what we need on the wings. We severely lacked paced last year, we were slow and struggled to get the ball forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yarddog73 Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 With regards to our transfer business over the last 12 to 18 month I find it weird we've gone to a number of clubs and picked up players no better than average when the majority have alternatives playing in the same positions many of us would rather take, I'll give examples; Lundstrum who played with Conn-Clarke Ward who played with Olley Kay who played alongside Haughton Latest we are linked with is Uchegbulam who played alongside Sinclair. It's like we send scouts out to games and they can't even spot the obvious, we are shopping in Pound Bakery when we should be buying from Greggs, I'd guarantee if we had the latter of the four examples I've mentioned we'd be up by February. Not saying the man who knows what good looks like is wrong or questioning Unsworths undoubted eye for a player for that matter but I find it particularly strange we keep going in for players who aren't even the best at the club we are buying from in their chosen position, it's a recurring theme. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the BP fallacy though - we can't just sign the best player from every team we play, that's not how football works. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All you can do is recommend them, its up to the manager at the time to sign who he thinks fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing devil's advocate - in each of those examples: Was the better player available? Could we afford them? Did they want to join us? Just because there are better players, doesn't mean we get free choice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
