Rocky Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 Nice to have a wide player coming inside to score goals ala Scotty Murray! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoldenBall Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 Why do some think we have to instantly shoehorn any new signing into the team? It's a long old season and injuries and suspensions will come into play. If we haven't got adequate replacements on the bench, we'll have no chance of going up. We didn't pay 600k so he could warm the bench Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glynriley Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 We didn't pay 600k so he could warm the bench Almost certainly, but do you think SC will chuck him straight into the team on Saturday, having not trained with the rest of the players? Will he alter the 3-5-2 system that we have used exclusively throughout preseason and the opening games of this campaign? I can't see it myself.

hippy273 Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 Do we hail him as the next Albert? "Oh Kieran Agard runs down the wing for me" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youngish Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 Ali Durden just said on Twitter that Agard scored 66% of his goals last season whilst playing right wing. Food for thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slartibartfast Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 Why don't we do what the big boys do, send him on a season long loan to the Gappers ? No? I'll get me coat ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedHead05 Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 I can't see him changing from 3-5-2/5-3-2.Agard is a Pacey forward who will challenge Baldock for a starting space,I think JET will be off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly, but this signing could also free up Wes Burns to go out on loan. Would be good to see what Wes can do at a L2 club for 6 months or so.

Indeed, could be 442 maybe...? Fielding Little Flint Williams Cunningham Agard Smith Elliot Freeman Baldock Wilbrahimovic Richards, JET, Pack, Wagstaff, Burns, Bryan, Ayling, El-Abd, Osborne, Reid (on loan?) all to choose from!

Mike Litoris Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 We will see vast rotation. Of formation and personnel and that will be good. Cotterill has given himself a lot to consider and a lot to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samo II Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 We will rotate. Is it that difficult? Agreed; it's a squad game, and all those teams who have successful seasons at this level need deeper resources than just a starting 11. Agard is a much welcome and needed addition, with the emphasis being on 'addition'; it's not a zero sum scenario, we can have more than two front men. With the fact Agard is also a winger, we've really just give ourselves more options, and there is nothing wrong with that. Ignoring the dripdrip of negativity about JET, who despite playing less than 10 league minutes is being deemed surplus to requirements, Agard is a completely different option to him, or Wilbraham. In fact, if nothing else, the only negative could be that Brighton and others see this as encouragement to go back for Baldock, as he's the most similar type of player we possess. Personally, I'm excited about seeing all the different combinations of forwards; we've got a good selection, that's for sure. And if folks are saying the Oxford match proves JET's worth getting rid of, regardless of Agard signing, then add most of the other players that day to that list; in fact, we just loaned out the only stand out from that evening, by all accounts!

samo II Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 Back of the net! Wrote that before I saw the Cotts interview, and right now think it is more likely we'll end up with Agard, JET and Wilbraham, plus perhaps another addition, post-1 Sept. Hope that isn't that case, and the club who sign him is us on a new contract, but credit to the club essentially guarding against his loss via this signing.

Marina's Rolls Royce Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 Samo II Oh dear- just as I was having the perfect day........... I really really hope Sam stays but we will have to wait and see. Jet is and will remain a fantastic option- whatever his critics say- he can magic a goal from nowhere and that ability hasn't left him. If Sam goes- we need another striker.

Would remove wilbraham, put baldock in the centre and freeman on the left. Wilbraham and jet should be impact subs or players who can provide goals on those tough away games.

Aaron-Bcfc Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 ----------------------------------Fielding---------------------------------------- Ayling--------------Flint--------------------El-Abd-----------Cunningham Agard---------------Smith-----------------Elliott------------------Freeman ----------------------Wilbraham-----------Baldock--------------------------- Last season I'd never have put Flint and El-Abd in a back 4 together but Flint has been our standout performer so far and El-Abd has done well off the bench. Tough to leave out Williams and Osborne -who seems to have been forgotten about! Gone with Ayling at right back as he seems better defensively than Little but a tough call Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old_eastender Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 Whilst we have Agard and Baldock (which may not be for long) then it really does favour returning to 4 at the back, so as to be able to accommodate both of them and not sacrifice Freeman from the starting eleven, Luke has the potential to be a massive player for us this season.
