June 21, 20179 yr 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?
June 22, 20179 yr 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.
June 22, 20179 yr Seen on Facebook we're meant to be in for Reece Burke on loan from West Ham. Any good?
June 22, 20179 yr looked good for Bradford in League 1 but only 10 games for Wigan in the Championship last season make of that what you will *Wiki

June 22, 20179 yr 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
June 22, 20179 yr "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." http://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2017/06/22/report-west-ham-uniteds-reece-burke-set-for-bolton-wanderers-loa/
June 22, 20179 yr Clayton gone to Blackpool Surprised as I thought the lad had some real ability before his injury.
June 22, 20179 yr Clayton gone to Blackpool Surprised as I thought the lad had some real ability before his injury. Therein lies the problem, he was a regular on the treatment table.
June 22, 20179 yr 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.
June 22, 20179 yr 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!
June 22, 20179 yr 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.
June 22, 20179 yr 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?
June 22, 20179 yr 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.

June 22, 20179 yr Can someone explain this promising talent Clayton had? Scored a goal v wigan on his first start That's it
June 22, 20179 yr Took his goal well at Coventry thought we may have something here hasn't worked, good luck to him
June 22, 20179 yr 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.
June 23, 20179 yr 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
