BLRed Posted January 4, 2021 Report Share Posted January 4, 2021 Half wonder if certss as in players that were clearly not wanted like Palmer, adelakun et al will have Holden over a barrel knowing our desperate situation for playing staff? essentially play me or I won’t perform. Probably won’t be easy for them to muster any desire to play and play well for the management that didn’t want to give them a chance in the first place. i hope this is not the case but it’s certainly a possibility. Would it lead to further detriment of form and performance?... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarksRobin Posted January 4, 2021 Report Share Posted January 4, 2021 I wonder if they are going to seriously trim the playing squad this window. Recall loan players to sell/release and focus on quality over quantity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lrrr Posted January 4, 2021 Report Share Posted January 4, 2021 Adelakun is playing for a contract elsewhere, would abject performances really endear him to other clubs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already sold himself to hull. Doesn’t need to do any more if they get him on a free as they know why he can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Thompson Posted January 5, 2021 Report Share Posted January 5, 2021 We have produced adequate championship players. Regretfully some possibly have not shown the necessary quality to take us or keep us in the Premiership. Perhaps a cull is needed and one or two proven quality players bought.

Guest Posted January 5, 2021 Report Share Posted January 5, 2021 The likes of Pring, Adelakun if they are only to be bench warmers no point in them returning is there? both playing regularly but in lower divs so hardly going to be starters in our "champoinship promo challenge" are they, we have enough young guns to sit on the bench already imo.

I think you have to look at it as: they are better than most of the current bench, therefore they might come off the bench to rest the current first choice, is only for 20 minutes (better than 2 mins which serves no purpose) and / or may actually start games to rest / rotate, e.g. Pring for Rowe, Adelakun for Semenyo / Massengo in a 442 abd might even perform better Notwithstanding Tommy Rowe could get injured / suspended. This is a needs must. At the start of the season I said I would prefer it if we hung onto a few players in Sept, rather than loaning out, because we had no idea how the pre-season and compact schedule would impact fitness and fatigue. I had no idea it would be as bad as this, but there were certain positions we needed cover....those being RWB and LWB, especially as Holden was hell-bent (it seemed) on 352. Even with Hunt and Sessegnon and Dasilva and Rowe there was an argument for one more on each side. Pring would’ve made sense to sacrifice for 3 months back here. I guess at RWB Holden thought Vyner might be the cover, but the CB issue hasn’t helped. If it proves that the fitness issues weren’t an issue then loan out now.

JoeAman08 Posted January 5, 2021 Report Share Posted January 5, 2021 What I like about the returning players is they are athletes. We like to soak up pressure and counter teams without any real pace in the side. Adelakun and Pring have good pace and can contribute. I’d be using them off the bench and starts when the schedule gets tough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Chappers Posted January 6, 2021 Report Share Posted January 6, 2021 All makes sense, insurance against any more injuries, fill the bench, allow rotation with the hectic schedule, we’re going nowhere so a chance to test the players at Championship level, looking ahead to next season. Always a risk that the season will be cancelled, so just make the best of what we have. Im not convinced that Clubs will be allowed much above 50% capacity next season, so I suspect financial reality will really hit home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
