Duvel 2,446 Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 (edited) 5 minutes ago, Riverside94 said: Has Ampadu been played in midfield before? Noticed he hasn’t been given a number at Chelsea and Wilder has him at Shef U on loan if I’m not mistaken. Gilmour and Barkley too.. don’t know what Gilmour was like for Norwich though.. and Barkley would be massive wages and reported attitude/lifestyle problems Do you mean Ross Barkley? There's no way we are getting him. Gilmore always looks like a nice player when I've seen him and he looks like he can tackle but I think we need someone who is a bit more athletic in the midfield areas.

But the team that started yesterday was good enough to not be 3-0 down after half an hour, even without Tav. QPR have only really signed Tyler Roberts, and he was injured. It's concerning how crap we looked all over the pitch - especially when you consider we bossed them at their place last year and only drew cos of a Lumley blunder. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I seem to recall us being slow starters quite a lot since Wilder came in last season, and not just one or two players but pretty much the full team. You could tell within 5-10 minutes if we were ‘on it’ or not. He does seem capable of rousing them at HT for an improved display but it seems odd that we looked so flat starting games so regularly. I think a chunk of that responsibility needs to come from the players though, you couldn’t start slow with a Roy Keane, John Terry, Grant Leadbitter in your team without getting an earful. As an example I see lots of debate regarding Lenihan vs Fry in the starting 11 and to be honest if Fry is a slightly better player but Lenihan gets 1-2% extra out of his teammates due to his leadership then he should start for me.

OldManGravz 1,310 Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 I think Wilder will definitely want signings in ASAP, a cup game against lower league opposition would be a good occasion to give them even just a 30min or so run out to assess them in a competitive match environment Link to post Share on other sites
Riverside94 952 Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 What about Kante? Didn’t someone recommend him to our scouting team already 😂 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Yeh he really got an extra 2% when we were 3 down and he forgot how to mark his man on a corner. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
