northam soul Posted 27 August, 2022 Share Posted 27 August, 2022 ABK was superb and everything Bednarek isn’t. He just needs to calm down in front of goal as he made a couple of typical defender attempts. Really impressed with us defensively as a whole although you could argue someone should not have given Fernandes the space for that. Ely is just a passenger and surely we cannot continue with him in there. Aribo looks strong but does need to quicken things up a bit for me. Ralph seemed confident of getting a striker so please let’s hope that comes off and that he’s good enough to make a difference. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pimpin4rizeal Posted 27 August, 2022 Share Posted 27 August, 2022 Don’t wanna be the first to say it but I don’t think arribo is gonna be the answer to our number 10 problems.. he’s been very anonymous the past two games hardly noticed him.. more creativity coming from djenepo and AA tbh . still think this is a position we should be looking at along with the striker none of our attacking 10s are really causing any problems, we are crying out for someone in the 10 that can make things happen atm djenepo probably looks most likely if used when perraud ia fully fit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saintant Posted 27 August, 2022 Share Posted 27 August, 2022 We have the nucleus of what could be a very very good young side. For me there are two crucial pieces missing from the jigsaw. If we can find those pieces before the window closes we can become a match for most teams. If we don't find them then I fear it will be a struggle and we will have wasted the good work already done in bringing in our young stars. The two pieces to the jigsaw are a quality, hungry young striker and a creative number 10 who can control the tempo, create opportunities, go by opponents and weigh in with a few goals. We are close but much depends on what happens between now and Aug 31st in my opinion. It can go either way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get what you’re saying, but I felt comfortable when Aribo got the ball up front. He’s strong so can keep hold of it up there, he more than often doesn’t give it away, and he also had the header today which was one of our best chances. I think I read that when he was at Rangers he was a bit hit and miss but I like the look of him. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not so much hit and miss for me,, he just seems a bit anonymous for most of the games so far in the same way that moi does but enough moaning.. joe shields has done a super job so far.. lavia and ABK look like they are gonna br big international stars for their countries they are that good. And Mara again looking promising in his little cameo again tried one of those nice through balls I wonder if he can play number.

S-Clarke Posted 27 August, 2022 Share Posted 27 August, 2022 (edited) If you go through our signings so far... Bazunu - upgrade on McCarthy, replaced him in the first team. ABK - Upgrade on Bednarek, replaced him in the first team. Lavia - Upgrade on Romeu, replaced him in the first team Aribo - Upgrade on Redmond/Theo, replaced them in the first team Mara - Adds genuine threat from the bench. He will probably be a starter by the end of the season That's a pretty impressive return thus far, each of them adds so much extra physicality as well. I can't wait to see what other new additions we have up our sleeve. Next two we need - upgrade on Elyounoussi, replace his first team place. Upgrade on Adams/Adam Armstrong (or at least someone to feed off the dirty stuff Adams can do) Edited 27 August, 2022 by S-Clarke 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarehamSaintJames Posted 27 August, 2022 Share Posted 27 August, 2022 Definitely need an attacking/wide player that isn’t afraid to turn with the ball and run at the defence. Full back cover could still be on the agenda for a loan. A CB that can compete with ABK and Salisu, IF Bednarek is on his way out. No Redmond, Walcott or Stephens in todays match day squad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Clarke Posted 27 August, 2022 Share Posted 27 August, 2022 Next three for Forest... Renan Lodi (left back from A. Madrid) Serge Aurier on a freebie. Michael Keane on loan from Everton looks like a goer. And they still want a striker. That'll will make it 20/21 new signings. Insanity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revolution saint Posted 27 August, 2022 Share Posted 27 August, 2022 Still think we might be in for Harvey Vale - last year of his contract, hasn't signed a new one and doesn't have a squad number (least that was the case last I checked). Looks a bit more physical than Edozie which seems to be something we put a bit more emphasis on these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that anyone gives a shit but this would be my preferred choice. Has a history of being consistent in an average team, in a good league, good physical attributes and, basically, none of the others fill me with much confidence. His assist record looks pretty good as well from what I can see just from the "numbers". Ramos is a no 10 - I'll take him if it's ion that position but not as a striker.
