Some players drafted in didn’t get the chance to show what they are capable of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burndens Bogs Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 The loss of Baxter, Santos, Dempsey and Charles cost us promotion last term for sure. All history now, let’s see how we go this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when that very little equates to a bit of a run out in pre season and a collection of clips on a YouTube reel. We won't know anything till a few games in. Then we will know if they've been an upgrade or not. It’s not a dramatic judgement gonzo just an opinion on what I’ve seen so far. 🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bigger wish for me is a right winger. Cogley is a right back, who’s been playing RWB. Hence, the inability to go past a man and deliver quality into the box. 3-4-3 requires a winger who can track back, as we’ve just signed for the left.

Didn’t know anything about this signing at all. As I’ve said before, I get bits from secondary sources and do expect one, possibly two, in next week from what I’ve been told. But this one took me by surprise. All I would add. I don’t quite get the dislike of Williams. He’s a league one player for a reason but (when fit) is a good player for us. And I don’t understand at all posters who seem to assume the worst before they’ve seen someone play, or think they know a players role in the squad before a ball has been kicked. If last season taught us anything (and the rushed January recruitment) it’s that the squad needs more depth. Those injuries to Santos, Baxter, Charles killed us. Southwood, Forino, returning Johnstone, make us so much stronger already. I’m not a happy clapper, and I won’t claim we’ll go up this season, but we’ll be top 3 or 4 again. Just a question of whether we can take that last step. I reckon most of s could predict 4 or 5 of the top 6 accurately right now. I’m not convinced Birmingham will be the force some think, but let’s see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Feelgood Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 I am damaged by the Wembley performance and, tbh, the whole second half of the season was shoddy. I fear that too many teams will have worked us out and if Evatt has not learnt that lesson we could be in big trouble & it wouldn't take a lot to see the fans turn on him. But, all that said, we've lost Maghoma, who I rate highly, & Jon-Dadi a capable reserve striker. Added 5 & more to come & the loan market so far untouched. ... & with all that we still finished a disappointing 3rd. So no reason we should be outside the top 6. If, however, we resume the interminable passing along the backline bollox again I may have to take to the pitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aren't the wingers ment to be in the top of the 343? The 343 will be more like a 523 with 2 wingbacks. If we're using this formation we're swapping a CM & CF for two wingers?
