Fans on here seem to have tunnel vision and base a players ability on the last club he was at and how that spell went. Ignoring a team of the season selection, 17 goals from midfield, number of games and his overall contribution. But aye he didnt do that well for Peterborough so must be crap. Caveman mindset Would be like looking at Robbo’s form at Newcastle and not signing him because he had a crap season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckydug Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 6 hours ago, FarmerTweedy said: I think this is largely nonsense, and the bit in bold a completely out of order slur on our players. The reality is that we were operating with a small squad last season and had a lot of injuries towards the end of the season, meaning that several of our cup final line-up were either rushed back from injury and hadn't had a chance to train or play enough to regain anything close to full fitness, or were carrying knocks into the final because we hadn't been able to give them the rests they'd needed prior to the final as we didn't have the depth of squad to replace them. Sevco on the other hand, had a huge squad, meaning they were able to switch things around as they needed. Indeed, only six of their starting lineup in the cup final had started the Europa League final on the Wednesday. Finally, the idea that a team playing on a Wednesdays night would then be knackered the following Saturday was never anything other than wishful thinking on the part of many of our fans. It's sad that several weeks later, some of our fans are still trying to use the idea as a stick to beat our coaching staff with. I agree with this post and it explains the issues that we have to solve if we wish to compete at the top of the league. It's as simple as that really and the poster you replied to fails to acknowledge that several of our players played through the pain barrier in the cup final. It didn't work out but it wasn't for the lack of effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fort Vallance Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 People saying that it's not possible to only sign players that are better than what we have. I understand completely that it's not that simple, however surely that has to be the aim. Yes we need a bigger squad. Signing players who are are an improvement on what we have clearly strengthens the first eleven. The players they're replacing, assuming you can keep them are squad players better than what we previously had. Win, win. Obviously it's a hard act but it should be what we're striving for.

Despite the negative press around him, Connor Washington was the same - made the step up to Championship, even EPL but didnt cut it. Could see the talent he had. Some folk cant get their heads round the fact that one bad season doesnt mean bad player. His stats from Lincoln and Notts County alone should be enough to see what he would bring Let's be honest it's how we get these guys.McKay out of the picture down south and he has been quality.It also doesn't seem to be going to be anywhere near the 750k price tag either.

While that will no doubt be our aim, we will still be stronger so long as any signing is better than an existing member of the squad i.e Grant might come in and not be an automatic 1st choice but becomes a better option than McAneff off the bench, in that case whilst we've not improved the 1st 11 we have improved the squad. As I said earlier in the thread, we're not talking about Popescu type squad players that will only get a game if 3 or 4 players ahead of them are injured, now our squad players will be expected to play their part as starters in a rotated squad, especially in the first half of the season with both the european games and the condensed fixture list due to the world cup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not exactly a big name but management must see him as an improvement on the likes of Macaneff in an area we have been lacking in for a while. We have enough holding midfield players, really hoping he's one that can get forward and do some damage in the top third of the pitch.
