old_eastender Posted April 19, 2019 Report Share Posted April 19, 2019 If as now seems likely we are still in the Championship next season and we want to progress, we simply have to find replacements for Pack and Hunt. Pack is an ok defensive midfielder, but today was a prime example of how poor his forward passing is and his lack of pace is never going to improve. Hunt has looked decent at times coming forward, but always looks susceptible defensively and today his crossing was woeful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristolboy_06 Posted April 19, 2019 Report Share Posted April 19, 2019 Have to agree with those two needing replacing for next season. Pack has been a great servant for the club but just don’t think he’s good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we do manage to get promoted, it would be even more imperative we replaced Pack and Hunt - they are bottom half Championship quality at best.

Striker, c-mid, right back needed..keep Kala's & Dasilva if possible.. Hunt, Wright, Pack, Watkins- thank you but goodbye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBFC II Posted April 19, 2019 Report Share Posted April 19, 2019 If we stay down, we need another centre mid, attacking midfielder and striker. Weird how people have been singing hunts praises recently, one poor result and he's now not good enough for the championship... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeAman08 Posted April 19, 2019 Report Share Posted April 19, 2019 Harsh on Hunt. Championship fullback probably one of the toughest positions to play. Think id you read other forums you’d see not many happy with them. Hunt super experienced and will make the right choice 98% of the time. Crossing was horrendous today though. Think Pack is a dying breed. Slow midfielders will start phasing out imo. In the championship especially where the tempo is quite high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the point of being all sarcy? The OP is making some valid points. We probably will be in the Championship next season, and we will need to strengthen and replace weaker players if we want to go one better. Typical OTIB.

Lez Posted April 19, 2019 Report Share Posted April 19, 2019 I wouldn't say they played poorly. People underestimate how difficult it is to play against such a defensive system. We lack quality to break down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because we still have a very good chance of making the play offs, game in hand we can still be in the top 6. More people who say we'll still be championship next season is less belief in us being able to make the play offs, so much for fans of this club saying always believe....

That lack of belief is completely reflected on the pitch. Seemingly. At no stage of that game would we of looked like a top 6 team to the casual observer.

Now is the time to get behind the lads as they give their all for the chance to go up not witch-hunting to bring them down . I’m sure they all know how well or not they’ve done and I won’t criticise them for lack of world beating skills when they are running through walls for the club.

It wasn't a post writing off our promotion chances though was it? It was talking about where we need to improve in order to progress. Yes, he mentioned we will probably still be in the Championship next season, but I think that's a fair assessment given the playoffs is a 1/4 lottery, we still have work to do to reach them and we'd be up against very strong opposition. Maybe don't post such snidy comments next time eh!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winsaw Posted April 19, 2019 Report Share Posted April 19, 2019 I half agree with the OP as still don't know what league we will be playing in , but I do think it's time to look at moving pack on still a good player but with a lot of miles in his legs and not getting any younger, think we have seen him at his peak not sure we will see those heights again, as for Hunt sorry we have seen many players against us this year in his position which are better he's cover not a starter at this level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
