ScarBoro 857 Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 7 minutes ago, AnglianRed said: I guess it depends what league you play in. In the PL the top 6 teams have Champions League / Europa League / Conference games as well. Every league has FA Cup, league cup ties. Every couple of years you have a Euro or World Cup. So while the breaks are obviously needed in order to fit those competitions in, whether or not your players get a rest depends on whether your club is involved in any cup competitions and whether or not you have any international players in your squad. Yes, I understand all that. Point was made that if there were no breaks, there wouldn’t be so much of having to squash 6 or 7 games into a month. I was simply giving the reason for the breaks. Obviously there’s less players missing from most Championship sides than from the Premier League, but there’s enough to stop the games, so that some sides aren’t disadvantaged. We would probably be missing McGree, Steffen and McNair as a minimum this year, plus anyone else that signs and is an international or U21 somewhere Link to post Share on other sites

When someone notified him of this, he said its part of Ben Davies story. I read Ben Davies article and we were not mentioned anywhere in that article. Haha. Love it how he leads the plug with a Barrow story Link to post Share on other sites

Dan_Boro_Till_I_Die 1,181 Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 We basically need the following. 1 LCB, 1 CDM Competition For Howson, 1 RCM Competition For Crooks, RWB Cover, Three/Four Strikers. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Changing Times 12,347 Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 59 minutes ago, AnglianRed said: I must admit I was expecting more from this transfer window. Obviously the Spence saga hasn't helped, but I was hoping the groundwork would have been laid for some relatively straightforward signings. See, I don't think the Spence situation has made any difference. We're apparently waiting on three loan signings, those have nothing to do with when we sold Spence. Similarly, we are apparently in for Forss, and if the reported bid of £3m is correct then I again can't see why the Spence deal would hold that up. Also, the Spence deal is done, so what exactly would we be waiting for now from that point of view? 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Wilder has already confirmed what positions need filling. Near enough what you said but its 6 players he wants and not 7/8. Think he said he after one midfielder who can cover Howson and Crooks. I RWB cover (Smith hopefully) LCB CM Strikers x3 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Mfcdanny 771 Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 So did coburn get on the pitch yesterday? If not and he brought on akpom over him Wonder how the season will pan out for him. I would personally loan him out to a club we’re he could hopefully play most games. I know we can’t do that at the moment with the squad size but I just don’t see him getting much chance in a promotion team. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Wilder must be doing his nut behind the scenes. He's part of the group making the signings in our current set up, so he must have knew the risks of waiting for loans. It's clear they weren't happy with how long the Spence deal took to sort mind 1 Link to post Share on other sites
