We need more than two players to get close to where we are aiming to be. Oh yea I totally agree, 6 senior players in summer I’d say we need depending on who goes or stays etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheHolgate 1,034 1.1k Posted February 14, 2024 Share Posted February 14, 2024 (edited) It just felt like once we scored Preston were like oh *** we best score then - and they did. The defence cannot withstand any type of pressure and just capitulate. We rely on not conceding goals by keeping the ball and so not subjecting our defence to any pressure. It is no coincidence that when we go up against a team like Chelsea who can keep the ball better than us and so put our defence under constant pressure we concede 6. There is a decent chance Leicester rip us a new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His stock will have dropped in the last 2 months and we've shown we won't sell on the cheap. We'll bank on him getting back to his best next season and going for big big money the following year. I hope so i just dont have much faith we will. I really think if we have a chance of actually getting it right next year then Hackney has to stay the task is already masive as is.

LinoJo3 5,505 13.2k Posted February 14, 2024 Share Posted February 14, 2024 Glover 100% at fault for the 1st goal imo, though Clarke should have just cleared his lines. Looks like he was caught in 2 minds to play a pass or get it out, annoyingly just a couple of yards further on the clearance and they wouldn’t have scored. Either way it was a fanny of a shot and glover should have stopped it, at least the Sunderland goal had a bit of power on it. Their 2nd was just ridiculous luck, if he’d of tried to pass to the guy making the run he couldn’t have played it anymore perfect. Judging our defending off them goals is just pointless imo, keeper error and luck won them the game. The only good bit of play in their goals was the touch on the first goal to get the ball under control and beat the defender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need those 4 positions as an absolute minimum, problem is that we also need back up in those 4 positions meaning 8 players. Plus if we can't improve our record with injuries we need more still to cover in other positions unless someone/s step up in the dregs of this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
