DevKWat 2,365 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 I’ve seen the wing back system played well, Chelsea being the main example. When you watched that team Alonso and Moses were causing problems for 90 minutes, our wingbacks simply aren’t good enough to make the system effective. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
thatoldchestnut 583 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Blackwells comments of needing 2-3 more signings indicates that he either doesnt have a clue, or isnt telling the truth, otherwise it will look like we are panicking. Link to post Share on other sites
BillyWoofs_shinpad 1,884 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 I don’t mind wingbacks in a back 4, either playing 433 or a 442 diamond, but I hate the idea of playing them with 3 CBs in a 532, that just leaves us short of any creativity. Neil if you are reading this, death or glory man, death or glory! 1 Link to post Share on other sites

It isn't even as though we need to buy people like Murphy for millions of pounds. Mowbray found Carayol for a fraction of the cost to bring Murphy in and although it didn't work out in the end, he had one great season with us. There must be hidden gems in the lower divisions.

If either Blackwell or Warnock think that is going to sort our problems, then they are both deluded. I understand it might be down to the lack of money but its a fact.

Blackwell's words were: "For me, looking at it I would say two or three, maybe more, to give us that little bit of strength in depth that we need" I think it goes without saying that the management team would like more than 2-3 additions, but it probably won't happen. They'll take as many as they can. If we end the window having made 6 signings, and don't sell any players, it'll have been okay. Not a great window, but we'll have had worse. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I never heard that he had said "maybe more". I can understand 2-3 if we cant afford any more than that, but we do need more. I understand we might have to make do with less.

No. 5 would be great. New LB, CB, RW, LW and ST. It would be perfect. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

This is a choice, clearly 1 Link to post Share on other sites
