Berkshire Red Posted July 4, 2020 Report Share Posted July 4, 2020 Given a new manager is on their way shortly, and with this brings a clean slate with regards to tactics/team set up. Which players are you most excited to see play under a new manager? I feel we have a few real talents in this team, that may have not been given a fair chance or been played out of position. I'm excited to see what a fresh pair of eyes can do with a front four of afobe, diedhiou, wells and weimann. Also hope a new manager can get an exciting team playing off the flair of Kasey Palmer. Maybe the fresh slate could cause a few of the regulars I.e. o dowda to up their game a bit? Or can we bring someone in to sort out our defence. A lot of talent has been wasted in this team over the season. Exciting times ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dullmoan Tone Posted July 4, 2020 Report Share Posted July 4, 2020 Anyone in midfield who will pass it forwards - more than backwards. And who can score more than 4 goals a season. It's amazing how low scoring our midfield is. I suspect this means Smith won't see a contract renewal and I feel the same about him as LJ - great for City in their day but not part of our future.

LondonBristolian Posted July 4, 2020 Report Share Posted July 4, 2020 I honestly think that, between Nagy, Smith (if he stays), Massengo, Walsh, Morrell and Palmer, we have a the makings of a strong central midfield. I'd love to see a manager who can make all of that work, give Moore and Vyner a proper assessment to see what they can do and get Kalas, Dasilva, Wells and (if he stays) Afobe up to speed.

I agree with this. That's the most frustrating (and now LJ's gone most exciting) thing, the talent throughout the squad (minus potentially right back if we don't sign Pereira) is there to go on and do something special imo. We just need a manager who can get the best out of them, sticking to a system that suits them (3-5-2 imo) without the constant chopping and changing of personnel and formations. Exciting times ahead hopefully! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted July 5, 2020 Report Share Posted July 5, 2020 Moore, Morrell and Walsh- these 3 in particular getting a proper and fair crack. I hope they will be better players for their loan spells away and I'm optimistic about them. I also look forward to the prospect of, I hope, seeing a way to get the best out of the likes of Massengo, Nagy, Palmer and our good striking options. I look forward to a shape that will not get outnumbered pretty well every or at least weeks. I look forward to this platform giving us a strong opportunity to take the game to the opposition more than we have! Not saying we'll dominate all comers, not even at home, but I think we can play a much more pleasing on the eye and positive approach- I really do. The likes of Moore at the back, Walsh and Morrell in midfield will be good for the press IMO- Moore-Kalas axis at the back seems the best for this in terms of our likely options next year.

Really agree with a lot of this post Dave- I see lack of balance in one or two areas, ie is Pring ready to back up DaSilva at this level, if not do we need another LB? Hunt, Vyner- or AN Other? All have key points. Bolded bit though- I just applaud!! I really applaud- it's a commonly ingrained view (IMO) in English football or at certain levels in fairness, less so in Europe/South America perhaps. I digress, one up front really can be far from defensive. Two up top can lead to losing midfield, being pushed back and having to, er- defend/play negatively! Way game has evolved...here at high levels too but it perhaps took a bit longer, that's what I'm trying to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted July 5, 2020 Report Share Posted July 5, 2020 Let's have a go then: Bentley/Maenpaa Hunt Moore Kalas DaSilva Walsh Nagy Morrell Palmer Weimann Wells Not bad I reckon! That's just one thrown together. Not considered any trading- Massengo and Smith as first reserves are strong competition, Rowe and his experience in that his final year maybe able to break up game, game management etc. I think we have good options. Defenders are of an age and profile to push higher, to squeeze the play. I know Bentley was the big money signing and is younger...but I kinda prefer Maenpaa- an unheralded free transfer with limited games for Brighton, has he done much wrong in his time here?
