cottsciderarmy Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 Also an attacking midfielder / Playmaker . Someone who can offer competition for Freeman. He's gonna have a 3 game ban now, and I hear Mr Reliable Waggy will end up playing and whilst I like Waggy, he ain't good enough, neither is Reid.

HoldenBall Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 A proper defensive midfielder is crucial IMO. In the mould of Diagouraga, Brentfords DM. Strong, solid, comfortable on the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohbasso Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 I'd imagine with Freeman out Robinson will take over the attacking midfield role. I'm looking forward to seeing him there he looks like an exciting talent. A left sided defender and a defensive midfielder would be my priority signings.

cottsciderarmy Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 Doesn't Robinson prefer to be in a 3 man strike force though, playing on the right ? This club never seems to learn about getting good players and playing them out of position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cottsciderarmy Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 I would like to see us play Hamer Ayling / Flint / Williams Bryan Smith Freeman Fredricks (with the wide players used as defenders pushing up as wing backs) Wilbraham Kodjia Robinson - Sign Central Midfielder / Central Defender and Striker Cover.

gagnedouze Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 Would Arsenal let Coquelin back out on loan? Was with Charlton shortly last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selred Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 Would Arsenal let Coquelin back out on loan? Was with Charlton shortly last season. He's one of Arsenals main players now. More chance of getting Walcott on loan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bar BS3 Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 A proper defensive midfielder is crucial IMO. Agreed. Cisse that we had a few years ago would be ideal there. Not now obviously, but exactly that type of player. Brentford's number 20, please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FreemansOnFire Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 Surely we should take a look at that Lucas Piazon from Chelsea. He needs an escape and was playing Bundesliga football last year with Frankfurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mendip City Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 Agree with the positions we need to strengthen but think the important thing now is more about character and experience. I know that's not been the policy recently but how naive were we after the sending-off? Just played as we did before. We were 2-1 and needed to take time out of the game and be streetwise. We didn't make it hard to play against 10 men. In my opinion our team is crying out for a couple of old heads at the back and midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brad blit Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 I can't believe how many people are mentioning Brentfords no20 from yesterday - he done nothing, he looked uncomfortable on the ball and caused most of his own problems by poor touch or passing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lack of Action Man Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 Center Back Left Back Center Defensive Midfielder Striker (goal scoring striker) I think rather than two defenders we need a utility player like Brian Wilson (but obviously of better quality). Someone who could fill in at either wing back and can play reasonably well in the middle of a defence if needed also. I agree a CDM is needed, ice already suggested that a Marvin Elliott or Kalifa Cisse style player is what we need. I'd hold off on signing a striker though and instead go for a CAM that can give Freeman consistent competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

formerly known as ivan Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 I think the answer to our defensive midfielder is already in the team and his name is... Luke Ayling! If we can get a decent centre back in then I would love to see Ayling pushed up as a defensive midfielder. His is strong, can tackle, can carry the ball fantastically well as we saw yesterday, has composure... pretty much everything we are looking for in that position. Still would need cover in midfield and defensive obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he was ordinary, made to look better by our inability to close him down. When we did get close and put pressure on him his touch was poor. I think all over the pitch we need to be a little bit closer and definitely stronger. There were numerous occasions where we were brushed off the ball. It will come though, we showed enough in the 35 minutes with 11 men to give confidence that we can do okay in this league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
