snowball Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Reading that on official site, nothing to grumble about there. Two who have cost a fortune in wages and done very very little for us, one who cost a fortune and has been a disappointment, one too injury prone and one too expensive to be second choice keeper. all going. New contract for Walker and extension for Quade Taylor with some of the other more promising academy lads offered deals. Fair enough. Now for the hard part, getting those we want to sign on the dotted line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onlyoneawalker Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 No problems with lonners mills or davies I think they all did well on the whole when able or given the opportunity I can see the thinking in letting mills go we need to start again defensively we've been dog shit at the back for years now and wheater is better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

famouswanderer Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 But iver realised im probably just talking bollocks because hes going to play a back three Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderson Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 But iver realised im probably just talking bollocks because hes going to play a back three Unfortunately he is and if rumours are to be believed we're signing Kuipers who looks handy. For me the ideal team after this summer looks like - Bogdan/Amos Baptiste, Kuipers, Wheater, Ream Pratley, Vela/Davies/Austin New Rw please, Clough/Davies, Clayton And fuck knows at ST Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kill Cricket Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Meh - we can put together a defence that, if not outstanding, should be competent if organised properly. Threlkeld/White Baptiste. Wheater Moxey/Ream. Full backs aren't great, but they don't need to be world-beaters. Give them a decent run in a stable side with a midfield that gives them cover, and they'll be ok. And I, for one, am glad we're offering a new contract to Heskey - we need a hate-figure/scapegoat to take the blame. An on-field partner for Gartside. It's a dirty job, but someone's got to do it. Oh well, onwards and, if not upwards, at least not too far downwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep....also Dervite is fine in a 4 man defence, Taylor looks promising, we're supposed to have Kuipers signed, & with either Bogdan or Amos in goal we've a defence good enough for this division so long as we play a back 4......it all turned to shite when we tried to play with a 3 man defence that none of the players seemed comfortable with. IMO what we're missing is a big bruiser defensive midfielder who can give us a bit of cover in front of the defence.....I'd hate to see us being bullied again next season.

Anderson Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 I've just seen Jay Emmanuel-Thomas has been released... I'd give it a go if he's on under that £10K that we all seem to think should be our max Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

passmosster Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Woodland and Lester were two of the ones that you would have thought would make it in our outstanding youth team of a couple of years back. Woodland in particular is a disappointment for me because he has a tremendous shot on him and was an England youth international. Who knows his knee injury may have taken a lot out of him.

BOWTUN BAKED Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Must of missed that. When did he say that? He said it when he first started using it & at the time you could see his point, even though at the time we had a number of defenders also out on loan. However, he also carried on playing about with it after that & as I indicated at Forest away, when there was no need to play it, it did seem to be becoming a preferred formation of his. With disastrous results due to our current squad being ill equipped in their talents to carry it off. In a later interview he finally admitted he thought it a good formation, having played it under Martin O'Neill & used it at Celtic. A formation that still left you playing 2 up top, that had fallen away with more teams playing a 4-3-3 formation. I'm hoping he's put it to bed, I fear he won't. As we discussed at the time, I can't see it working in this league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
