So when we bring in someone with a lot of experience for this level where either he's on the bench or pushes one of our starters there its still a bad thing. We only recalled those players as there was literally nobody else. Ps I never mentioned it being a bad thing so not sure what you are referring to there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hertsexile Posted January 30, 2021 Report Share Posted January 30, 2021 An upgrade on mr Brunt will add experience to our midfield which is needed. I hope it works for both him and the club. interesting what he said about Dean in his interview time will tell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds quiet attacking. If we can get the full backs playing more like wingbacks sounds quiet exciting. Aginst the Better teams could sacrifice Pato for an extra man in midfield. Gives the team a good balance and I hope sorts the midfield problem we have had for the last 3 years. Seems more like 30 years to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alessandro Posted January 30, 2021 Report Share Posted January 30, 2021 Listened to Holden’s comments and this feels, like with Brunt, a Holden signing. Clearly feels we need more experience and as I put in my previous post, despite what might come out of the club, the average age of the squad is creeping up - the pathway might be there, but you’ve got to say, I imagine Holden’s best 11 from a fully fit squad might not include one academy player now. Not a criticism, just observation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it won't. Smith would have been on no more than £2k a week and the fee is minimal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glastonred Posted January 30, 2021 Report Share Posted January 30, 2021 4 hours ago, The Dolman Pragmatist said: I’ve just waded through the twelve and a half pages of this topic, Christ what a depressing experience! Come on, give the bloke a chance. We’ve got no experience in midfield at the moment and have had to try a defender in the holding role recently. Bakinson and Massengo are very promising, but Nagy has still not proved himself, so bringing in an experienced pro with proven quality on a short term contract makes absolute sense. It may work out, it may not, but half a season isn’t that much of a risk. The transfer market is, understandably, almost dead at the moment and I bet there aren’t many players of Lansbury’s ability to be had. And don’t forget that Dean Holden and Dean Smith know each other very well and I doubt that Smith would want to con his mate. I suspect that Smith has told Holden exactly what we’re likely to get out of Lansbury and Holden think it’s worth the risk. What is there to lose? I love your pragmatism, Pragmatist!...

This season is like no other . No crowds in grounds to swing in some teams favours, especially as we head towards the last few months This signing is clearly a short term solution to at least try and get us to the top 6 Put it this way....no matter how slim the chance is, I think we have more of a shot with Lansbury on board for 6 months then we did without him You say it's a strange season but that top six is panning out as most pundits and fans thought it would. No surprises. We are playing for sixth place realistically, with 5 or 6 other clubs. Same as last season our results are papering over big cracks in performances. I suppose I'm surprised that as a normally pretty negative poster, this of all seasons you actually think we could finish in the top six. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just stating a fact that it is possible The point I am getting at is I think on a short term contract, Lansbury is worth the punt.

Mr Popodopolous Posted February 1, 2021 Report Share Posted February 1, 2021 He'll be better in a 3 than a 2, ie solid base then gives him a platform- 4-2-1-3 or I dunno, 4-2-3-1- if we try and play him in a 2 the same recurring issues will surely, given time, crop up again.

Numero Uno Posted February 1, 2021 Report Share Posted February 1, 2021 I haven’t seen the guy play enough to make a judgement but what I do know is if he can keep control of a ball when it’s played into him and just lay the bloody thing off to a runner he’ll be an improvement on what we are currently seeing!!

Mr Popodopolous Posted February 1, 2021 Report Share Posted February 1, 2021 What I fear might happen with us if we play him but keep the same setup is that you play it into him and lay it off to a runner- problem is that it may work for a bit, but in time the opposition get wise to that with 2 vs 3 and outnumber you in that zone, spare man presses and it breaks down and puts you on the back foot- certainly if you want to try and control the play. Counterattack wise, maybe a different story if we are happy to cede the ball but go for quick breaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
