Bring in goalkeeper, right back, left back, winger and striker. I agree with Johnson about cutting the squad size and having less players but with more quality. This.

megansdad Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 Would question need for RB Little, Vyner and Moore should be more than capable next season. CBs also seem adequate with Flint, Wright, Hordur and Hegeler. bryan improving as a left back and Golbourne should be adequate back up in a settled back four. Think probably midfield needs strengthening, a goalkeeper if Geifer is not deemed up to it and clearly a replacement for Tammy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fully agree everyone can have a personal view, that's what makes this forum great. But you contradict yourself saying you have had decades of experience understanding people, then fail to understand why these 'planning for the future' 'transfer target' threads are important to people. Yes these type of threads do crop up around transfer windows and during the summer break. I think they are usually obvious by their title what the content is. People like to discuss this, each to their own, what harm does it do. There are some discussion threads I won't comment on as I'm not particularly interested or experienced in, eg betting & cricket, but I do read some of them. I'm a believer you can learn something every day, if not the content then the contributors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bs3 Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 I see a few have been suggesting a Goalkeeper, haven't we just brought a new keeper!! Apart from discarding our new goalie, which I'm sure LJ and Mark Ashton done "due diligence on " to make sure he has the right DNA , I'm a fan of Fielding, he have played extremely well since coming back into the team and have made some timely and crucial saves. We don't need to throw the baby out with the bath water when it comes to our Goal Keeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was never one of Gj's biggest fans but he did give us two years of success, if you can call a play off defeat that? Gj is history, I really don't get it, I couldn't stand Pulis but wouldn't keep harping on about him. He's proved to be a very good premiership manager.

No I definitely agree, and I agree that the standard are football was pretty poor. But I still thank him for what he did for us, and the united feeling City felt during the promotion season and play-off season. Lee Johnson's standard of football has been much worse.

The last game against Barnsley was a good example - rubbish in the first half but pretty good in the second and coming back twice made the second half pretty thrilling to watch. Apart from the Palace play off games I can't remember any games under GJ that were anywhere near exciting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny how we all see the game differently, I've rarely seen any decent football this season, perhaps the Fulham away game and that is it. I enjoyed the home game against QPR at some points also, and witnessed spells of decent play. But highlighting your second paragraph, we've played like we have all the season regarding the first half against Barnsley, hence our league position. The football has been completely poor in my book, and I am quite astonished how we look to survive this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
