Guest Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 After reading the bit about Steve Brooker, I'd be inclined to pay up his contract. Nice bit of confidence building for Wilson when he states that he'll get another RB in if Orr goes in January.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice bit of confidence building for Wilson when he states that he'll get another RB in if Orr goes in January.. True, Brookers comments said it all. I like the guy and he could do really well in this league but he just can't stay fit! As for Wilson, he now has the opportunity to cement a place in the defence, but your right, won't do his confidence any good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nibor Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 I'd guess that the comment about right back might be a loan as cover rather than a permanent signing. Ribeiro will be back next year after all. Looks like Brooker is on his way too, pity but inevitable now. I'd hope the loan enquiries were for central midfield and the left side.

Nice bit of confidence building for Wilson when he states that he'll get another RB in if Orr goes in January.. I don't see why it would do Wilson's confidence any harm? Surely it's common sense that you can't be left with one player for each position? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice bit of confidence building for Wilson when he states that he'll get another RB in if Orr goes in January.. The Brooker comment is ODD to say the least, he's basically refusing to go out on loan? not the best way to impress your manager as for Wilson, personally I think he's more than a good enough replacement, he just needs a decent run in the team at right back, which he's never been given the chance to have.

Fodbarmyarmy Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 we need a right back, centre/right midfielder and keep Myrie-Williams to put pressure on Mcindoe I am afraid that would not be much pressure now would it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice bit of confidence building for Wilson when he states that he'll get another RB in if Orr goes in January.. This makes me nervous. Seems like GJ is not pushing for midfielder or right wing.

mightyreds89 Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 I am sorry but Brian Wilson has know where near enough quality to be a first choice right back in the championship, some seem to really rate him and I cannot work out why, he pulls out of tackles cannot head, his passing is not great and his positional play when defending counter attacks is awful, I tell you we are in trouble down the right when we have just Wilson and Sproule as right sided players ( I do not count Noble and Williams as they are obviosuly central midfielders).

What positions is he looking to fill, or is this mind games to gee up our current crop? I think the left back spot needs urgent attention. McAllister is an accident waiting to happen and for all of Wilson's commitment and enthusiasm, he's just an average midfielder filling in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crikey we need some new faces to freshen things up a bit.

Rednready Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 I would have thought a centre midfielder is high on his list of priorities. We have Elliot, LJ, Williams, Noble, Skuse and Artus available. Skuse and Artus are at the bottom of the list with Noble and Williams not given a chance there. Noble was our midfield general after GJ took over, but the following season after LJ was signed Noble has not been given a chance at his former successful position......... I for one would like to see him given a chance at center midfield . It might work again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beaverface Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 Read between the lines. If there are players out there that we want and they want to come here, then it will happen. If not, Johnson is happy with what he's got. Still doesn't alter the fact that we've now three players lighter than we were a few days ago !
