Just needed regular men's football to get up to speed. I actually wouldn't mind a season playing the above team...even if it meant we dropped a few places in the league. Hoping to keep them all and develop the team together for the next season. Lots of quality and movement with those players. Like I've said in a previous post, we have a team now that has the quality of pretty much 12 teams in this league. All falling for the same trap of type of player thought needed to go up.

Still a bit to do with potential improvement , but , he's had a good season (so far) at Lincoln , really showed up when they played Everton and has not looked out of place in the Wales MF. I really think he has a chance to become integral to our MF. I think the club feel similar too, worked hard to get him loan deals when teams weren't breaking down the doors to take him, could pay off next year.

Just need his off the ball part of the game to improve and theres your browhill replacement. Bit gutted he was sent out on loan, is his contract up this summer? He didnt get a new deal when he left for the loan in September. Probably fell out with the head coach......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching his highlights at Coventry, he's everything we've been missing in midfield imo. Couldn't agree more with this! The thought of the link up play we could see with potentially Walsh, Palmer, Afobe & Wells etc all in the same team next year is frightening! In games that we'd look to dominate, especially at home, I'd look at a 3-5-2 with Walsh alongside a Smith/ Nagy or Morrell in a midfield two with Palmer just ahead and Afobe & Wells up top. Sooo much potential! Edit* Sorry Spudski - just read the rest of the thread and see you are one step ahead of me - love the look of that team!

We will sell Fam and Eliasson and go 352. Have ballers in midfield and pace and movement up top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazily apart from a right back upgrade on Hunt and of course Afobe if all is well post his recovery from injury I don't think the club needs to bring in anymore first team players in the summer, although LJ talks alot about liking a 'Djuric' style plan B striker so maybe we will see one of those come in. We just need to trim the squad slightly and work on developing the undoubted talent we already have and getting the best out of them and that 352 formation certainly has the potential to do just that.

After all Nagy played in Italy for three years before he joined our club ... strange that he’d suddenly be homesick after being abroad for that long ... He admitted in an interview that he was missing Italy, probably glad he's not there now tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fear you are right but I hope not - we know how effective he can be behind two pacy strikers both from his performances pre Afobe injury this year and at his time at Huddersfield- playing a key role in them getting promoted in 2016/2017 playing behind Wells and Kachunga - When he's in a team that plays to his strengths he's a quality player at this level and will be such a waste to let him go - especially as we have two strikers in Afobe and Wells who he has such a top proven track record of playing well alongside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope we don't get a Djuric type to be honest. Though you're probably right, he does like that option. I think we may need to get one or two more centre backs in. If we want to keep the ball on the deck then ball playing centre backs would really help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you put your faith in him next year as a starter? It's a really tough call for me, I really rate the guy and he is obviously extremely intelligent and learning all the time but does he have the height and aggression needed to make him a top championship defender as soon as next year? My issue is if we play the type of side we have been discussing it will be one of the shortest sides we have played consistently in a long time, height will definitely be it's biggest weakness for other teams to exploit so three defenders who can dominate aerially may be a must?

I think Moore should be in the side next season. I'm hoping he keeps improving in the air. Him, Kalas and one other over 6 foot, preferably Benkovic kind of height. Hopefully then we wouldn't miss Diedhiou when defending corners. 3 centre backs and preferably a couple of other 6 footers in other positions should mean defending set pieces is not a weakness.

Davefevs Posted March 9, 2020 Report Share Posted March 9, 2020 Moore is 6’1”. His height isn’t the main factor making him ready or not next season. He ain’t gonna grow now! I don’t agree with height being a necessity / decision point in team selection. It should be about ability and fit to system. Wish LJ had never mentioned the height thing, think it’s a bit of an excuse...and it’s been jumped on as being a requirement. Plenty of decent CB pairings in the Champ that haven’t relied on height. Webster at 6’3” (ish) wasn’t that great in the air. Defending set pieces successfully can be achieved without requiring a bunch of 6 footers. It requires intelligence, discipline and concentration much more than height. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unan Posted March 11, 2020 Report Share Posted March 11, 2020 Problem is same one Kasey has, how do you pass forward with nobody making runs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted March 11, 2020 Report Share Posted March 11, 2020 Different types of player IMO- similarly creative. Weimann makes runs, possibly not always the right type but Weimann at his best certainly makes them. Could go with Walsh in a 3, Palmer as the '1' and then depending on form/fitness/opposition two out of Weimann, Wells, Afobe up front. Walsh-Palmer-two of those...nice fluid chain, could see it working and play linking well. Walsh Palmer Weimann/Afobe/Wells- 2 of. Obviousness you would pick two of Morrell, Nagy, Massengo or Smith to go alongside Walsh in that midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DT The Optimist Posted March 11, 2020 Report Share Posted March 11, 2020 appreciate another thread re LJ press conference but here it is. He talks at around 14:20 re Walsh and bit more than last time. Talks about LW extra year, fantastic talent; (likeable rogue) needed him to be a constant starter and playing games, this is a far better IV and gives us a good insight in other players also knocking on the door. Great stuff and more like this please. far better than some served up late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
