I think we've got a bit of a dilemma on our hands formation wise, no left wingers, centermids aren't strong enough to play in a two and no striker capable of playing upfront on his own

 

We have to play 3-5-2 on current squad makeup but we definitely need a lot more depth.

 

Howard

 

New CB, Wheater, Beevers

 

Little, Karacan, Spearing?, Vela, Taylor

 

ALF, Madine

 

Bit ropey that for me at the minute.

no postman pat?

Not for me at this level, in a formation where we play actual wingers then definitely but he's not got the defensive capability to play at wingback in this league. We'd get torn apart, especially if it's him and Dervite on that side.

Would you not wait till we know the squad in August before picking your line up? Seems pointless atm

Looks like Reece Burke is signing in loan according to the press PP had him in loan at Bradford has a CB so white noise is officially ITK

Posted

"Burke previously played under Bolton boss Phil Parkinson at Bradford City, where he was also on loan for West Ham and won the Bantams' player of the year award"

"The highly-rated 20-year-old also spent last season in the north west, but his spell at Wigan Athletic proved ultimately frustrating.

He was restricted to 10 appearances for the Latics, owing in part to a niggling hip problem."

Clayton gone to Blackpool

 

Surprised as I thought the lad had some real ability before his injury.

The lads a perma crock, that's his problem. Hopefully he can get past all the injuries and have a career.

Posted

Only spearing remaining out of contract. He's expensive and not irreplaceable for the same money, I think. Then, we need to find pace at the back and up front, and creativity in midfield. Tough ask. In PP and the board we trust!

Shame about Max Clayton. Looked really promising before he got that freak injury. Someone landed awkwardly on his hamstring iirc.

 

Seems a decent kid so good luck to him.

Posted

Can someone explain this promising talent Clayton had? I wish him well but he started 10 games in 3 and a half years. Surely no one is upset about him going to Blackpool?

I'm glad to see the back of him tbh. Blackpool can also take Proctor and C Taylor too.

Where I'm at. We can't carry blokes like this anymore.

I reckon the Blackpool physio might be having nightmares

Unfortunately for our club, still under an embargo, pretty much no money.

We can't really afford or realistically keep players who are injury prone most of the time.

On the other hand, I think we need younger players in the squad for the long term.

Posted

I reckon the lad needs a good run of games to develop properly. Hopefully he'll get that at Blackpool - and maybe we could nIck him back for nowt at the end of his contract as a far better player if he is another Joey O'Brien.

 

If it opens up a space though for a non permanently injured championship proven player, then it's a good move
