I mean we talked of depth and yet that bench is looking very light today when it comes to attacking options. Didn’t both the young centre half’s play last night aswell Quote Link to comment

brad blit Posted August 19, 2023 Report Share Posted August 19, 2023 Surely Cornick would be a better option through the middle as he’s more likely to win something in the air, and probably has more championship experience in that position, let alone Bell being more effective playing from wide and cutting in Quote Link to comment

Conways injury has really hit us hard and for the first time in a long time I feel like a half season long loan may be required. Try telling Nige we need a loan 1 Quote Link to comment

Redrascal2 Posted August 19, 2023 Report Share Posted August 19, 2023 Several on here said there were goals in this team. Well let's hope they are right. I am not convinced. But time will tell. Quote Link to comment

Also made an important block at 0-0 last week before our winner. Other than that though, some very sad people need to have someone they can direct their anger at, it seems they want that person to be Cornick regardless of his contribution. 3 Quote Link to comment

I understand that the loan thing could make sense but the way most loans go is that the club bringing the player in does all the developing and the team he goes back to benefit as well as being paid too. Loaning a player these days technically goes against what the club is looking to do, develop young players of our own in order to create profit and stay out of the FFP hands. 4 Quote Link to comment

George Rs Posted August 19, 2023 Report Share Posted August 19, 2023 Would assume we play the front three: Mehmeti-Cornick-Bell Cornick a little more presence and holdup ability potentially through the middle? Bell on the right to try pin back Laird high and wide. Think this one is either a 5 goal thriller or a 0-0 which takes a bit of magic from one player to break the deadlock. Quote Link to comment

Very true, that block was actually a world-class block, like many defenders wouldn't have pulled it off and he got it inch perfect. It was very likely to go in had he not got it spot on too. 2 Quote Link to comment
