NVMal Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 All this talk of needing a new striker before the season starts seems a bit over the top to me. If we're going with one up top as Del did for much of last season then surely Stead, PItman and Taylor is enough competition for one starting spot. Even if he does go for two up there then we have players such as Amadi-Holloway waiting in the wings who need to be given a chance to see if they are worth keeping. Also, with Anderson, Bolasie and Woolford as options wide we could push Albert up top, he's notched a few pre-season, As for a creative midfielder - give Bobby Reid a chance otherwise we'll never know if he's good enough. Centre Half - Go with James Wilson as the right sided centre half. There was talk of other championship clubs being after him last season so surely he should be given a chance. He's never let us down in the games he's played (apart from Boro at AG maybe). The academy costs a lot of money, we need to at least give it a chance of paying dividends by giving the youngsters a chance to prove themselves in the first team.

Sorry, but this position needs sorting asap. I get where you are coming from, but I still want to see an experienced, ball winning centre half come in. Wilson, Fontaine and Nyatanga are all decent centre halves....they would benefit much more alongside a leader-style centre half. Wilson especially Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeh Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 We need quality not numbers.

The Casual Connoisseur Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 You can't go by pre-season. and tbh while we finished well it was mainly down to us having to fight to stay in the league. Have people forgotten the games before that when they were getting booed off the pitch every game. We have a weak squad with a lack of goals. again. Completely agree. With the squad as it is we will concede too many and not create enough, let alone score enough. Every season the championship gets stronger, I don't think that adding quality in midfield, upfront and at the back will give us anything more than a better chance of survival.

See my post a few days ago as to why we will struggle, nothing has changed since then. our biggest issue being CB, which has not been rectified, it was the bane of our season last season, until Amougu arrived. we will be going with the same centrebacks that failed last season. Do not take anything from pre season, they have not been tested by anything decent yet, let alone competitively, and there were enough defensive mistakes (even if they were not punished) in pre season, for me to be worried.

The manager's seen Wilson, Amadi-Holloway and Reid every day since he's been here. If they're ready and good enough I'm sure he'll use them. It doesn't seem to me like he thinks he can depend on all season (yet?) which is why he's looking for two or three more signings. We have a fairly small squad now as well particularly when you consider players who are contracted but don't seem to have much of a future here.

Robbored Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 McInnes has been trying to fill in the very obvious gaps in the squad with players that are of greater quality than the ones before and as yet we don't actually know how those new signings will perform. They could all turn out to be a waste of money. Gaps remain and the centre back and striker positions are the most obvious ones. Currently he has two fit strikers available for the Gills game tomorrow. A right sided centre back is also essential and the concept of ''going with what we have'' is frankly idiotic. I fully expect to see both position filled before the window shuts at the end of the month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonBristolian Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I think the doom-mongers both on here and who've predicted us as relegation favourites are wrong and that - whilst I'd be very very pleasantly surprised if we troubled the top half, we do have enough about us to finish 10-12 points above the relegation spots. But we do need to strengthen. Up-front three strikers just isn't enough, we struggled for goals last season as it was (even with Wood and even with Maynard). And in defence, I rate Nyatanga on his day but it just isn't his day often enough and, to be honest, I rate Wilson as decent squad cover rather than as someone who'll ever be good enough to regularly start. We definitely do need to strengthen those positions - I'm less worried about central midfield - it'd be good to get someone in but realistically we've got too many central midfielders and I'd get why that might not be possible and I think we'd cope with what we have. I don't think it's a disaster if we don't get someone in before the weekend, and I don't even think it's a disaster if we can't get someone in during August and have to use the loan market - we don't just need signings but the right signings and I'm happy for that to take however long it takes.

Ryan Taylor looks like he'll miss out so we only have Pitman and Stead available , fingers crossed they both come through unscathed. The situation at the back is the same , Carey not 100% fit , so Wilson , Nyatanga & Fontaine remain the only viable options as Stewart looks like he's surplus to requirements.

His team selection and tactics last season were frantically scrambling around for something to work as we kept losing games. He'd have been an idiot to not experiment with team selections if the tired and tested options weren't working. And, credit where its due, there were occasions like Southampton away where he went for a team selection nobody saw coming and it worked a charm. Other times he lost but we were losing anyway, confidence and team spirit seemed to have evaporated during the Maynard saga and ultimately he did what was necessary to keep us up.

I just think we will struggle At the time McInnes was struggling to find the right combination,tactics and formations to avoid the drop which he ultimately did with a decent run of results over the closing few games. I wouldn't read too much into some of the odd and baffling formations he tried. Many said last season that should City retain Championship status that McInnes would have a full summer to clear out the surplus and bring in his own players, plus have a pre-season designed by him and his staff. All factors that he didn't have last season. So far he ticks the boxes and with just another 2 or 3 ticks to have City looking, at least in theory far stronger than this time last year. I'm confident that we won't struggle this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_BCFC Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 If we have to start with Nyatanga anywhere near the first 11 then I would be worried.

miketh2nd Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I still think we need a commanding centre back to partner Fontaine.

Port Said Red Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 The realistic fans realise that DMC is here for a long term project not overnight success. With this in mind, I think it's better for him to continue to search for those players he feels will improve our squad rather than buying anybody just to say he has got a new player. If the signings appear, then great, if not they will come in the fullness of time. DMC's approach has been one of evolution rather than revolution and things take time to evolve. Those who are saying that this is last seasons squad with a few tweaks and it will therefore struggle are ignoring the changes that Del has brought about behind the scenes. Dave Brailsford has shown with the cycling team that an improvement in all aspects behind the scenes can make for an marked improvement on the track (or on the pitch in our case). Let's see what the pre-season has done for the players before judging what this squad can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we're going with one up top as Del did for much of last season then surely Stead, PItman and Taylor is enough competition for one starting spot. Even if he does go for two up there then we have players such as Amadi-Holloway waiting in the wings who need to be given a chance to see if they are worth keeping. Also, with Anderson, Bolasie and Woolford as options wide we could push Albert up top, he's notched a few pre-season, As for a creative midfielder - give Bobby Reid a chance otherwise we'll never know if he's good enough. Centre Half - Go with James Wilson as the right sided centre half. There was talk of other championship clubs being after him last season so surely he should be given a chance. He's never let us down in the games he's played (apart from Boro at AG maybe). The academy costs a lot of money, we need to at least give it a chance of paying dividends by giving the youngsters a chance to prove themselves in the first team. Aw yes, so after our worst season in years you suggest we start with a squad light on quality and players who have proven they aren't good enough. Taylor is injured, leaving just Stead and Pitman, one of those gets injured and your really suggesting Holloway??! Clueless. Yes let's give bobby Reid a go, apart from the fact we have ELliott, Skuse, Morris, Kilkenny, Pearson in those positions already, he also went to Cheltnam on Loan and DIDN'T GET A GAME. Wonder why?

Youngish Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Exactly how I see it aswell, we were awful under mcinnes at points and never played that well we just had fight. I haven't seen anything to think we will do anything better than the sub standard shit we were put through by him last year. The 3 main positions we needed filling at the begining of the transfer window are still unfilled. I'd be happy to eat humble pie, I just think we are on for a hell of a fight whilst playing shit football. Hahaha. After last season we needed: A goalkeeper: done A left back: done A centre back: working on it A central midfielder: done A centre forward: working on it. On top of that we have added a left winger, which some (including me) thought was a position that needed strengthening, and we may be about to sign a right back (Wilson), which could prove to be useful due to Foster's inconsistent form.

Monkeh Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 As an attacking midfielder? **** me I give up he's a goalscoring right side midfielder, he got 5 last season (our top scorer had 8) and 5 the season before that (Pitman had 13 marv had 8) Anderson is a creative left sided midfielder, Also Yannock Bolsie is waiting in the wings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downendcity Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Yes mainly alongside Nyatanga though instead of Fontaine, pkus this was under Keith Millen, where in Defence we were organised much more poorly! A poorly organised defence would have been an improvement on what Millen put out at the start of last season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC RISK77 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 in answer to OP.....What we have got is not nearly good enough, and i hope Mcinnes has other targets in mind because we are very short of a competative top half of the table team currently, and can only see another season hovvering around the foot of the table Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin101 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 We're progressing well but if this is the finished product (which I think we know I isn't!) then...god save us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
