where's the joy Posted August 12, 2018 Report Share Posted August 12, 2018 get the spine right and the rest of the team will grow in stature so what's on the shopping list not sure about our goalie yet. we need a new no1 very not sure about baker in the middle of the central defence. if Bailey's fit hope to see him play right side central with webster on left or kelly not sure about smith not playing, not fully fit? not sure about the centre forward without Fammy up top and Weimann playing off his flicks. but the first six games were always going to be tough without our no9 and we have a few more days to get the loan players in that we need Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerseybean Posted August 12, 2018 Report Share Posted August 12, 2018 Think the early indications support the shopping list / points you’ve raised......IMO it would be stunning to bring in quality loanees at keeper, central defence, a really creative midfielder and a striker. Let’s see what happens in the next couple of weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murraysrightplum Posted August 12, 2018 Report Share Posted August 12, 2018 Genuinely think we’ll be ok for goals when Fammy comes back and can make do until then (although if Tammy Abraham turns up on loan I’d be pretty pleased), GK I think we need to let the new guy settle. CB and a creative/controlling CM would be great if there is anyone better than what we have available and willing to come here. Two difficult things!

Bristol_Badger Posted August 12, 2018 Report Share Posted August 12, 2018 CM isn’t strong enough or we don’t have the right combination with Pack and Smith/Brownhill. We don’t boss games in the midddle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anyone's' said top class keeper. But you said he hadn't made a save. But, agree we need another no 1, and I get the impression that was the first objective this summer but just never got the ones we really wanted. I'm still hoping we tie up the American, permit and all, in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Distortia Posted August 12, 2018 Report Share Posted August 12, 2018 Typically as football fans, we are apparently writing off a keeper after two games, so, ignoring that... Maenpaa Webster - Baker Pack - Smith Diedhiou - Weimann OP makes a fair point, but should we be fielding our strongest XI, I don't have any problems with that spine of players at all. In fact, I'd say it's pretty damn good compared to teams of a similar calibre to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think if we had Pickford as keeper he would have saved any of the 3 goals we have conceded so far, just down to poor defending in front of the keeper, mainly by Baker. Too early to judge Maenpaa, but having watched both games I've not seen him fail to do anything you would want from a keeper and his distribution is good.

citywest30 Posted August 13, 2018 Report Share Posted August 13, 2018 Think it's too early to tell about Maaenpa but he definitely has a good stature about him. Reminds me in build to good gks like Ikeme or Ruddy. That being said, I would have no probs if we got Ruddy or Westwood in on loan for the season.

Thus we need competition for the goalkeeper. Who ever we bring in will be competing and hopefully make our goals conceded stat better. BUT we need to sort out what’s in front of the goalkeeper the CBs have been bang average Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
