There is no complaint from me on existing players work rates but the consistent striker options arent working and havent done for a while. I don't know if it is our style of play but we seem to have the chances but cant finish them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHIPLEY RED Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 It would seem that GJ has decided that 4 - 5 - 1 is our formation this season so why bring another striker in??I would hope that if we decide to try 4 - 4 - 2 that we give Trundle a go up front with Dele first.

Nogbad the Bad Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 I reckon that its unlikely that City will recruit any loanees before the window closes, And as for trotting out the dressing room harmony excuse to preclude any candidates, how do other teams manage? City sign Carle and Adebola and both become immediate fixtures in the team. So how does this affect dressing room harmony, particularly for the likes of Noble, Skuse, Trundle and Byfield who are all displaced from the team or even the bench. Is it good for morale that 2 new players come in and straightaway have a run of games that has been denied to others including the likes of Jevons who was removed from the happy dressing room without ever getting a chance? Dressing room harmony is potentially affected every time a player leaves, is injured, or goes out on loan and the dynamics of the team change all the time. The important thing is that any newcomers generally fit in personality wise and no bad apples are acquired purely in the hope of short term success. The squad has evolved hugely this season and must continue doing so as our league position and increased ambition demands - GJ has already shown himself to be ruthless to take the club forward and needs to be again to get the striker we are still clearly lacking. That's if he's decided it's not a good idea to give Trundle a run alongside Adebola first... Surely though if any new player is of the quality of Nugent who may make all the difference, make the players lives on the pitch easier, and make achieving their shared goal that much more attainable, they're going to absolutely love him and welcome him with open arms. In which case, with the addition of the right player, dressing room harmony could only be enhanced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcusX Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 Perhaps the likes of Noble, Skuse, Trundle and Byfield are not performing as they should be in training. Maybe Jevons didnt put the effort in that say Orr has to step up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if as you say, there may be 4 players underperfoming in training then that would hardly be a sign of a happy dressing room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DanC Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 If Ipswich have a chance of getting Nugent then surely we would have a better chance if we made an approach. He would enhance our squad somewhat. I'm sure the other players wouldn't mind if he came in and fired us to promotion and them all to a promotion bonus.
