Shuffle Posted August 11, 2020 Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 Well if we are going with 3-5-2 we are light in terms of CB’s so will be a priority. Think there must be better than Williams out there and shame if reported we’ve missed out on Dunkley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcfcredandwhite Posted August 11, 2020 Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 If Williams is going to stay then I can’t see him getting many games. Probably some sort of ‘player-coach’ capacity? With the introduction of the 2 ex-England assistants I would imagine we would be getting some younger players in, based on what they’ve seen during their time with England. Of course I might have got this completely wrong!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree with massengo you forget that he is only 18, time is on his side, morrell on the other hand is 24 this year and needs first team football, He is quality and forced his way into the welsh squad, if he didnt come through our academy, people would be excited to sign him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted August 11, 2020 Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 6 hours ago, JonDolman said: I thought Williams was our best centre back last season. Maybe about 3 bad games. But most of the time he was class. Go back and read comments about him on here earlier in the season and people were saying what a great signing he has been. He looked good since the return other than that moment of madness. Happy for us to get someone else in of course. But Williams should be fine for another year otherwise. Unsure about that. His red card v Brentford showed exactly how opposition can get at him. He's never been the quickest and at 36 he sure won't be. Perhaps a back 3 would be mutually beneficial to him and us but watch back on slow motion etc the Brentford red card. He in the middle third IIRC had such a good head start on the striker. If we wish for possibly a medium, let alone a high line, I don't really see him as the answer. The one at Nottingham Forest was downright unprofessional and stupid but tactically speaking, the Brentford one gives me cause for concern.

We have Vyner and Moore that are more then capable of doing a job there. Joe Low may feature in the bench a few times maybe even Baldwin. 36 in about a fortnight actually.

REDOXO Posted August 11, 2020 Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 They are talking to Williams about playing and coaching roles. We will see how that pans out I guess. But to not the same thing as Smith. Korey Smith leaving is the end of an era. However if we keep Morrell/HNM/Walsh and bring in a more powerful player with more presence then its the right time. I’m sure He will get a good club and score against us next season, that’s football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either we think he is worth a year as a player or we don’t, I cannot see how we can need yet another coach. If the contribution I was told we made to Benkovic’s wages whilst here on loan was true, then no way can we afford him again in a Covid world.

Portland Bill Posted August 11, 2020 Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 I’m sure Korey Smith wouldn’t want a one year deal here, when he can get a 2 year one somewhere else.

Prepare to be surprised at how many coaching staff we will have I guess. I hear they are talking to him about something along the lines of what they put to Wilbo.

I don't see us letting Walsh or Massengo leave so that leaves Morrell as the odd one out sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superjack Posted August 11, 2020 Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 If it wasn't for Palmer he'd be the most overrated player in the squad. An over the hill liability. Now that rumours of him joining the coaching staff appear to be unfounded (thank God), just get rid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
