Ok the long term consequences are lessened with a loan, but it doesn’t help the near and now. It’s just another player unavailable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allani Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 (edited) Starting XI looks good enough for a fairly comfortable mid-table position. Second XI looks like it would struggle to survive in the Championship. And that is our current dilemma. A bad run of injuries or suspensions and our bench / team starts to look flakey. Add one or two of tonight's line up into our starting XI and it shouldn't be too bad - but three or four, or a couple in the same position (i.e. both centre backs) and suddenly we look poor (although to be fair the same is true of most clubs outside the top 7 or so). Another big signing and a couple of up and coming prospects from the Championship still needed to give us that little bit more depth. Then next season we should be in the position of only looking for two or three quality additions each year - especially if the investment in the young'uns starts to come good.

Xela Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 16 minutes ago, Kiwivillan said: You know King played most games last season at left wing and his heat map is all on the left wing right? I only watched the first two mins of the video below (music made me want to self harm) but vast majority of his goals I saw came from him on the right? There were some on left but the fact I've always remembered him on the right is what made me suggest him. It sounds as though he was moved to the left last year? Plus King can cover centrally as well. With Benrahma I think i've only seen him on the left? I'm no massive fan of King, its just he's available and can cover multiple attacking positions Spoiler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sulberto21 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Harry Souter was immense today. I know that you don't buy on performance against you but from what I've heard from my old uni Stoke loving mates he's the real deal. That way today he could have been playing instead of Hause for us. Tyrese Campbell is someone else who I think is a good prospect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people were saying we need more before tonight. It's painfully clear we need another attacking option and a backup centre half. We are two injuries away from a Hause/Engels pairing at the back!

FFS do people forget what people have been writing on here. Most have said we're probably 2/3 short. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bose Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Yeah we might need one or two more players in an ideal world. But how many of the bottom half teams in the Premier League have a decent or good 2nd string side? None. A decent bench but not more than that. We're not going to replace the whole team in one transfer window. We'll have to do with a few back up choices that are not ideal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are one good player away from potentially challenging for top half. I genuinely think one quality attacking option can make that difference for us. We don't need a new team. It should be possible to get one more in and then maybe a backup centre half on a short term contract or even on loan. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think one more signing would be tremendous but if we're done I'm not bothered and with a bit of luck injury wise we'll hopefully challenge for mid table this season. And then push on after that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LxYoungAVFC Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 (edited) Just want to be on page 1337. Need another winger and backup LB. Edit: And another CB. Hause was shocking tonight. Edited October 1, 2020 by LxYoungAVFC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GingerCollins29 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 We dont need 3 or 4 players. We need a forward to cover all 3 positions and some clarity on engels. If he's not gonna play any part then we need a centre half. Not a great performance from fred tonight but i still think he can fill in a lb. Targett is absolutely more than sdequate for 1st choice (this season) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be enough then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
