O'Lasagna playing wide?? What have I missed? 1 Link to post Share on other sites

TeaCider24 12,403 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 (edited) The squad has come together nicely if we get van Bergen and a left back. I'm pleasantly surprised that we've brought so many in, many people thought we'd be lucky to get 6 in. We're up to 11 if Sporar and van Bergen are confirmed, and there might still be a few more after that, then we've got Jones who is almost like a new signing. Link to post Share on other sites

Absolutely, all three goals shouldn't have happened on Wednesday. Got our CDM losing the ball 4-5 times a game which he shouldn't be doing. Lumley was very poor for two of the goals and the defence were abysmal second half. Should never be conceding three goals in a half of football and two goals to ten men. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

You could well be right but that’s why I’m intrigued. I think he has the attributes to play both roles. Personally speaking I was quite unsure about whether he would hack it playing as far forward as he has. He’s proved me wrong so far. As Tom said I’d want him playing with Morsey so he could have a bit of freedom to push on, carry the ball or join the attack. Definately he’d be able to do it and it’s worth a try, hes everything we thought saville was gonna be for about 10x less money. It’s good to have decent options for once.

He’s been so strong this last 10 days, couple of weeks so I class Josh now as one of our strikers. so if we can get Sporar that might do that." What positions were the couple of free agents with 'not great' goalscoring records then? Link to post Share on other sites
Youngy228 1,444 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Interesting reply from Alan Nixon to a tweet asking where he thought Andre grey would go. He said huge wages even with Watford helping out. Let’s hope we dodge that then. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Morsy puts a shift in and his workrate is really good. He loves a tackle too but composer, passing and mobility isn't there. Howson looks like he's really started to decline tbh. Feel like we're doing the same thing as we did with Leadbitter where we probably kept him for one more season than we should. Clayton it was about 2-3 more seasons then we should have. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I think the other was probably someone like Robson-Kanu and we've decide to not go ahead with it. Link to post Share on other sites
DurhamRed 2,043 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 I think Sporor is coming to be the pressing forward Paterson was brought in on trial for. As ikpeazu build means its hard for him to press centre backs Link to post Share on other sites
