TLF10 4,440 Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 (edited) Wilder in his presser said he wants to work with 23/24 players with 3 GKs. This suggests he wants 2 players for each of the 10 outfield positions. I dont think we had proper cover in each position with the right balance since Karanka promotion season when the balance and back up were both very good. However, i think we are well on the way to having it under Wilder too. Lumley Dijk Fry Paddy Jones Crooks Howson Tav Bola Sporar Balogun BACK UP Daniels Hall Bamba Wood Peltier Payero Boyd-Munce McGree Taylor Watmore Connolly Brynn and Coburn being players 23 and 24. Uche, Browne and La Saliki on way out. Then I think any new incomings depends on one of the GKs and Hall most likely leaving. Then I think we are set for the season.

TLF10 4,440 Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Thank you to all those that spotted by Bola at LWB twice error in the earlier post. Struggling to get the guy on the pitch at all and yet I have him in two teams. 5 Link to post Share on other sites

He's in the England under 20s squad Might as well just try Bryn then. If we sign a keeper I’d want it to be someone with a bit of experience. Yes, I agree. While obviously the talk of Dean Henderson was far-fetched, someone in that same mould would presumably be what Wilder is looking at - highly rated, experienced, but second or third choice at their current club. Freddie Woodman wouldn't surprise me at all. Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, back a while ago I wrote On 12/10/2021 at 11:56 AM, Bruce said: We need 6 centre backs to play this formation Dijksteel. Injury prone. Inexperienced as a centre back. Can play RCB only Fry. Can play CB or back up RCB Bamba. Ideal back up CB McNair. Ideal RCB. Back up LCB Hall. Injury prone. Back up CB Wood. Potential but not clear if he will make it. Very inexperienced. Probably only RCB Lee Peltier. Back up RCB. Emergency back up LCB Given that we don't have a natural LCB and it is unclear whether Wood is good enough to get on the pitch then I can certainly see Hall being offered out to make room for a left footer. Wilder has praised Peltier so I think he'll hold onto him. I think Hall has been decent for us; Warnock's system can easily make defenders look exposed for pace while Hall would probably be just fine in Wilder's more structured system. Thing is that Bamba has been so awesome that it is probably safe to let Hall go if a buyer can be found. Wilder's SOP is to have two players for each outfield spot with others who can flex and cover a few spots in an emergency. We currently have 7 first team centre backs on the books with Hall and Wood being the obvious weak links and no natural left-footer. Link to post Share on other sites

SouthernSmoggie 4,223 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 I'm still convinced we only signed Lumley because he made a couple of good saves against us and Warnock was like: "Ay he's right good him. We'd be promoted easy if we had a lad like him, d'ya get me?" A PL loan does seem the way for this window at least. Must be a better keeper than ours somewhere wanting a bit of game time. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Anyone in mind? I've had a look through PL squads and I can't really see a name that stands out that would be a realistic move Link to post Share on other sites
