NickG Posted 29 August, 2009 Posted 29 August, 2009 reading the ITV teletext reports about how, in 2nd half we dominated, you must wonder if we are just worrying about fitness?!
Colinjb Posted 29 August, 2009 Posted 29 August, 2009 Considering we have just spent 1mil on Rickie Lambert I would hope not. He scored a pen and struck the woodwork twice, he is making a big difference. I would guess it's more a question of confidence and organisation.

hypochondriac Posted 29 August, 2009 Posted 29 August, 2009 I really want a pacy striker and a right winger. Get that and watch the goals go flying in.

NickG Posted 29 August, 2009 Author Posted 29 August, 2009 no idea how we will do this season, but the moaning is getting ridiculous and totally premature.
hypochondriac Posted 29 August, 2009 Posted 29 August, 2009 My ideal team. Davis Murty Trotman Jaidi Harding New winger Hammond James Mills/Holmes Lambert pacy striker Get that in and we'll do really well IMO.

Looks good, don't think we'll be seeing Murty for a while though. Wonder what will happen with this supposed Gradel interest? He'd be perfect - can play either side too. Eastwood wouldn't be too shabby either...nor would Craddock. Tuesday will be an interesting day...

I'm not that fussy though, I'd be happy with any pacy winger! Same goes for strikers really.

He scored a pen and struck the woodwork twice, he is making a big difference. I would guess it's more a question of confidence and organisation. Hitting the woodwork twice sounds more of a matter of poor finishing rather than organisation.
Cheeky Monkey Posted 30 August, 2009 Posted 30 August, 2009 We could do with someone like Matt Oakley in our team. Matt used to link up the front with the back and spread the ball around. When he was not in the team we would notice it.....similar to how we play now - little fluency and composure. Our team would also look better with the likes of cranie, Blackstock, Best in it. All players we brought through our youth system and then let go !!!
Saint in Paradise Posted 30 August, 2009 Posted 30 August, 2009 cranie, Blackstock, Best in it. All players we brought through our youth system and then let go !!! Only because they wanted to leave !!!
JustMike Posted 30 August, 2009 Posted 30 August, 2009 I really want a pacy striker and a right winger. Get that and watch the goals go flying in. nail on head. We totally out played them yesterday and should have won by 3 or 4, the team is still gelling together but over the last 2 games its clear we are moving in the right direction. The defence yesterday was solid, James and Hammond in CM worked very well, and that was the first time they played together there. Lambert and Saga up front should produce a hat full of goals, the only thing that was missing was decent service to them, yes there were flashes but not enough. I like Melis and AL but just think that if we had a winger who was quick and confident on both feet we would be ok. On a negative note, why oh why does AL take every corner? He isnt very good at them
John B Posted 30 August, 2009 Posted 30 August, 2009 I really want a pacy striker and a right winger. Get that and watch the goals go flying in. Surely the current team is better than most in the Division so why are we not winning.
derry Posted 30 August, 2009 Posted 30 August, 2009 Surely the current team is better than most in the Division so why are we not winning. Because we don't play with width, allow opponents to compact in defence and crowd our two strikers, who don't get any decent crosses from the byeline. We need quick wide players on their natural side who can get to the byeline.

derry Posted 30 August, 2009 Posted 30 August, 2009 Yes I agree with what you are saying but even with our current squad things should be better We may scrape some wins but we need proper width to create enough chances to score 3/4/5s. If we don't get wingers in, either Mills or Holmes down the left and now that Lallana seems to be perking up, wide right, but they have to play the touchlines or the defence just compacts.
