cornishboroboy 272 Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 I'd like us to take a look at Ryan Hardie as a striking option. Was on loan at Argyle from Blackpool last season so watched him a few times. Pacy, direct, non-stop chasing, decent finisher and an all-round menace. Everything we need, albeit in League One.

ChipBarrington 313 Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Be interesting to see if Warnock thinks he can get performances out of Browne or tries to recoup something. In the brief glimpses I saw be looked OK but too eager to impress, which is bettet than not caring and understandable when stepping up the ladder. Anyone see him often and think he could be worth a go? Link to post Share on other sites

System been broken for a while and i think we will start to see it. Especially with potentially hardly any income for the club to come apart from player sales Should mean there are bargains in the lower leagues. Some clubs will have to sell to stay afloat.

scottpilgrim 28 Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 I would offer Johnson a new contract, our squad is a mess and needs a lot of work. Having a player who can cover 2 or 3 roles will help. The main priority should be getting the two wastes of space up front out of the club and spend whatever we get on 2 CBs and 3 Strikers. Probably means we have 1m to spend on each at most. Id sell two of McNair, Saville and Wing as well. I wish we could get our relationship with Chelsea back. Loaning McEachran, Omeruo, Chalobah and Bamford let us cover gaps whilst we developed the squad. Link to post Share on other sites

Jamie-H 1,322 Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 https://www.teamtalk.com/news/exclusive-stoke-city-favourites-to-sign-morgan-fox Linked with Morgan Fox seems like getting an actual LB will be a priority which makes sense because Coulson isn't a LB, Johnson sure as hell isn't, Friend should be out the door now and Bola's still an unknown.

wilsoncgp 9,228 Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 I still think Coulson is a left back. I've not seen enough out of him on the wing to declare he's anything but. His best performances for us have definitely been left back or left wing back, IMO. An attacking left back but a left back nonetheless. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Marv did well going forward but at times was very poor defensively, giving free-kicks away etc.. And still Coulson didn't get a sniff. He played left back once as a sub under Warnock? 1 hour ago, ChipBarrington said: Be interesting to see if Warnock thinks he can get performances out of Browne or tries to recoup something.

We don't really have any real connection to Chelsea now Lampards in charge, and he'll more than likely look after ex team mates who are in management when it comes to loaning players out.

Warnock did think Johnson was great, though. He's come out and said that. I'd say that's probably a bigger contributor to why Coulson wasn't getting a sniff than Coulson not being good enough for him. This is just my opinion on Coulson, I know it doesn't seem to be shared because he's an exciting player. But I also never agreed with anyone who said Joe Bennett would be a better left-midfielder because he never used to be a good defender and he was better going forward, he has certainly proved over time to be a better left-back than anything else. He's still very young and I think there are some excellent natural qualities that don't automatically make him a left-winger just because he can attack and beat a man. He's tenacious and gets stuck into challenges, he reads intercepting the ball well for a young lad, he links up well with players in front of him. Some people on here have said he was always a left-winger but that's news to me, anything I've ever seen about Coulson before he played with the first-team was about him being a left-back, one of a few we've had coming through like Nathan McGinley, Patrick Reading and Terry Stephenson. Maybe he played left-wing a couple of times because of competition for spaces. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
LBP 3,012 Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 You can't coach pace but you can coach defending, can see Coulson fighting his way into Warnock's starting 11 next season Link to post Share on other sites
ManBearPig 1,833 Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 I’d love to see in depth stats for Coulson and Spence for this season. Whilst I think they have done a good job travelling with the ball and relieving some pressure, I don’t actually know if they have had much of an impact going forward in terms of assists and accuracy. That’s not to say that they are bad, as I understand it’s their first breakthrough season, but I’d like to see more end product from wingbacks going forward. Link to post Share on other sites

You're unlikely to see wingbacks moving forward. I'm not sure of his view on Coulson (although I wouldn't be surprised to learn he's not the biggest fan) but I'm convinced Warnock sees Djed as a more advanced player than as a RB/RWB.
