I mean it can't be just to speak about out of contract players cos there's only a few? Was it a round up of the season just gone and a look ahead to the summer kinda thing? It was to talk about the out of contract players and players on loan apparently and our transfer strategy this summer (Constantly repeating himself). It took place about an hour ago apparently, however I've not seen any snippets come out from what was said. 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites
TLF10 4,497 Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 @Changing Times that is essentially what he was inviting them back for. @Blanco knew you would have my back. Haha. Cheers my friend. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Dan_Boro_Till_I_Die 1,181 Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Read this thread its very interesting and has some insight into the club and what they want and what Warnock wants 6 Link to post Share on other sites
DevKWat 2,371 Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 i.e That thread basically says we have a young, progressive squad under a manager (and previous managers) who are old and not that way inclined. I hope we continue down the road we were aiming for with Woodgate after Warnock’s time is over. That was 100% the right way to go. The mistake Gibson made (shocking I know) he tried to change a clubs footballing philosophy from one major extreme to another with an inexperienced young coach. I hope after Warnock, we go for a a manager/coach with clear success playing the way we want to move forward with. Although I’m certainly not getting my hopes up... 1 Link to post Share on other sites
DevKWat 2,371 Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Also the thread creator claims Woodgate wanted Siriki Dembele from Peterborough, and *some* people in the club want to sign players under 26 on the rise, whereas other want instant experience and success. A club divided essentially Link to post Share on other sites
Changing Times 12,347 Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Our terrible strikers, bottom 4 for touches in the penalty area and passes received. All their own fault mind. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Personally more than happy to give warnock his last season, massive improvement from last year, in league position and and the core of the team. Fry McNair bola dyjesteel sav and tav, all upped their game I imagine because of warnock. We need to be challenging to keep these players and who better than warnock to do that. We do need improvements specially up top and a keeper is a must, two strikers two wingers and maybe a attack minded cm. We had a lot of shocking descisons go against us hopefully we have a little more luck with that, get the fans back too. Link to post Share on other sites

To be honest, the squad isn't that young. That's the second place I've read that as the Gazette seemed to suggest it as well. If you include every single player at the club then you can certainly lower the average, but our first team squad's average age is over 26, and that includes the likes of Brynn, Browne and Coulson, who have barely played at all for different reasons. Spence has been the youngest first team regular and he's 20, then comes Tav at 22, Fry and Bola at 23 and Dijksteel at 24, although I wouldn't call 24 young personally. 13 of the regulars were 27 years of age or older by way of a comparison. Our signings this season were 28, 28, 29, 27, 29, 29 (loan), 31 (loan), 29, 27, 25. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

A club divided essentially Peterborough were wanting £8m for him, that why we never went signed him lol. There were a few clubs after him, but it didn't take long for them to drop interest Link to post Share on other sites

Humpty 3,261 Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 The meeting happened. The Gazette reported on it this morning...basically we're trying to get a striker and keeper in now as they're the positions we need filling most. That's about it. Assume they'll probably drip feed more over the next few days to fill columns. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
