tomski Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 No no for me with Stockton as his first name is Cole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitesince63 Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Bruce always maintained that you could never have too many good strikers so signing Stockton would be a big plus for me. Looking at how many goals the top teams are banging in proves goals win games and partnering Dion with Stockton seems a great partnership to me. Sadly I’m not sure we have the money and after yesterday I think the defence is where any money we do have should be spent. Marlon anybody?

Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted August 21, 2022 Site Supporter Share Posted August 21, 2022 We've scored 1 goal in 3 games, hardly smashing them in for fun. No, don't particularly want Fossey. Any signing who does come in has to be signed with a view of replacing someone currently in starting 11 I.e better. Not convinced Stockton is that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitesince63 Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Agree Dave, anybody coming in should be better than we’ve got but I obviously rate Stockton higher than you so glad it’s down to IE. 🤪 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frank_spencer Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Can't see anything missing from the side perhaps a midfield bastard but we've not had one since Karl Henry. Fossey would be back-up to Bradley and we've already got Sadlier/Jones for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be disappointed if we signed Fossey now as it would just mean seeing less of Sadlier who's already underused, arguably, and I rate above Fossey.

Rizlar Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 I would like to see Sadlier as a number 10 he as an eye for goal but IE prefers Lee and Dempsey and likely Sheehan once he’s fit . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a no 10 for me too, I think he would score more than Dapo if he played consistently there, as well as creating plenty. He maybe suffers for being one of the best crossers we have because the other no.10s you mention don't excel at crossing, their tendency is to look for shorter passes on the deck.

Yes I agree my other issue is Dapo our system for me doesn’t suit his game he’s better in a front 3 rather than a second striker or a number 10 but IE will not change our system and I don’t blame him it works well for us.

I'd be happy to see the system mixed up a bit. Given our track record of beating most bottom half teams and not winning many against top half, I'd be surprised if results dipped if we tried 4-4-2. It won't happen but as a traditionalist I would just like to see 2 CBs, 2 full backs, 2 wingers (Dapo being one), 2 CMs, 2 strikers. Not every game, but maybe to surprise the opposition occasionally/give them something to think about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mannyroader Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Fossey played the full 90 last night as Crawley beat them 2-0. He played as a right winger in a 4-2-3-1 formation, RHS of the 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
