duke313 Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 So do we look better with two strikers and one 10? Was the case last season, from memory we didn't play well with two 10s and one striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The happy clappers won't allow it. Or you can just watch pre season and not slaughter our players Especially those who are better than what they showed last year, which is a fair few of them Watkins has no confidence and is struggling for form, the reaction of too many here is **** him sell him get someone else, completely given up on him... I wonder why he's struggling for confidence... I don't find the Watkins miss funny because in reality we will need a fit and firing Watkins to start the season, as much as I want archer to not go out on loan and play for us this year Watkins needs some goals in these games to get himself going 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many bloody times do we need to say this though. I hate hearing how such and such a striker is "a confidence player" and "needs a goal" -- so **** score one then! Jesus. The man scored 0 of 6 one-on-ones last season. At some point people have to stop talking about confidence and start worrying about ability. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post thunderball Posted July 20, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 20, 2022 Take aways: Kamara is excellent, really excellent. What a terrific signing - he will transform our midfield, he is a Rolls Royce of a player and is very comfortable and great range of passing. Our emerging kids are all very good, and all have futures possibly in our first team. What a fool Carney is, this route is the closest he will get to the big time. Archer is good enough to fill one of our striker roles - he is exactly what we are missing: instinctive and gets a shot of quickly, often in the right place. Please dont send out on loan without giving him a chance before January. Bailey will be useful this season, like a new signing. I love Buendia, great energy and heart. I have the feeling as a club we have moved past McGinn and Luiz, just not sure they offer enough, surely the club are looking for a more imposing and versatile #8? Mings seems to be suffering a crisis of confidence, he just hasn’t shaken off last seasons wobbles, for me Chambers is much more assured at present as a partner to Carlos. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough but he is a young kid, if it were that clear cut I'd expect the coaches to have a word with him. Unlike Watkins/Ings who should know better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyVillans Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 2nd half definitely better than 1st. Buendia really needs to start. Also think we need a new cm to go with kamara and Luiz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomaszk Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 That slip from Mings wasn't fun. Do our players not warm up properly? It's every week at VP they're slipping all over the place. Drives me up the wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
