I know it sounds like I'm being really negative about it, I'm not trying to be I'm just interested in what he's done well and what he'll bring to us. He underperformed his xG against during his time in Germany, not by much but he did, so regardless of how poor the team was or how many saves he made, he made fewer saves than expected statistically. He was playing for a poor team though to be fair. I cba going into XG from his time in Germany a couple of years ago, I think he’s decent from what I have seen of him and think he will be good for us. Hopefully he proves me right but if not I’m sure i will be remind about it on this and the other forum Link to post Share on other sites

RiversideRed 1,216 Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Wish people would stop putting Lenihan or Fry at LCB. Neither of them will be playing there. Both will be playing CCB. 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I read that as competent but not excitiing Competent is a massive step up from last season. I honestly don’t think you need much more than that in this league. Link to post Share on other sites

Lumley was shocking with his feet and I welcome anyone who can play rather than hoofing it long. That can only benefit us in comparison to last season when Lumley hooked the ball out of play. Another upgrade from last season hopefully and one which fits into the style of play more. Steffen Jones Dijksteele Fry Lenihan Giles that’s a tasty back 5 imo. Very balanced and comfortable with the ball. Promising signs so far 👍 That lcb signing is going to be massive 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I’m as intrigued about that particular signing as I am the marquee centre forward signing looking for exact fits on how Wilder wants us to play, plus lefties on the left righies on the right, it's not rocket science but it excites me, only thing that would make it better is if the main players wear 1-11 3 Link to post Share on other sites
estonpidge 1,449 Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 As someone suggested loaning a keeper may mean that we have more to spend elsewhere, Ben Davies for instance. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
mackie2424 157 Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Steffen going to be the best keeper in the league this season if he signs for us. I’ll stand by that, I’ll be so confident with that statement. Finally a keeper that can use his feet and doesn’t have biscuits for wrists. I expect USA chants at every game for the big man when he proves all the doubters wrong. 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites
