Retford_Owl Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Westwood Wildsmith Dawson 3 is enough can't see us going in for a GO and can't see us selling Westwood so I think this will be our 3 for the season. Kean? Think he will leave if he hasn't already. Palmer Hunt Lees Loovens Hutchinson Pudil Fox 2 Rbs 2 Lbs and 3 Cbs so 1 more centre half needed. With Hutchinson being injured I think we will bring in 1 extra... a younger player on a 6 month loan deal and go for another CB in Jan. Wallace Boyd Abdi Lee Bannan Jones Reach Forestieri Matias Think that's about right and will probably stay as is unless we lose FF. 9 midfielders and the option of Hutch when fit if needed means we have enough now. Fletcher Hooper Joao Rhodes Winnall Nuhiu Can see one of these strikers leaving and my bet would be Winnall as he is the one for me who doesn't offer anything which we don't already have. Rhodes - Poacher Hooper - Link Man Fletcher - Target Man Joao - Raw Pace Nuhiu - Physicality So for me I think 2 more signings on top of Rhodes and Boyd will make it 4 as promised. 2 Cbs I think Hanley or Morrison will be one and the other will be a cheaper option from the Premiership who will of played in Championship before................ D. Holding anyone.....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modboy Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 (edited) Ideally I'd want an upgraded FB for each side, a bit of physical presence in CM, 2 CBS and a bit of pace who can give us something different if needed In reality 2 CBS and a CDM should suffice Edited July 16, 2017 by modboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offalyowl Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Don't know why people on here are so against winnall, he's proved that he can compete and score at this level and everytime he did, he got dropped, we got him for peanuts and will also make a profit on him when we do sell him on, just dunno what he has to do to show he just as good as some of the strikers we have here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sethman75 Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Really like the look of Winnall in the two games. Needs to shoot more himself but could be devastating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

island owl Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 I still think Lee could play at RB, lots of pace and even won player of year for Oldham in this position . I also think CC will start to play Reach at LB with FF on left. Both very hard working and would cover each other. One CB required urgently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owls2k Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 We're 'desperate for 2 centre halves' when in fact the main reason we didn't go up was because we failed to utilise possibly the most well equipped set of attacking players in the division.

thewookieisdown Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Very sensible OP. I share the view of others that we should strengthen at RB. Sadly I don't think Palmer is quite there for a top six team and if we were signing two more players I would prefer 1 cb/1 rb to 2 cb. Hutch of course also is a CM option. RB option too, some say, but he hasn't played there for some time. The question then arises are there any of the youngsters likely to be ready? My untutored eye picked out Matt Penney but (if I have this right) he didn't get much of a look in when on loan at Bradford. I think Stobbs might be a possibility. My hunch is that he won't quite make it big and he'll end up with a perfectly respectable "league one" career. But he appears to have some pace and physicality that could be used off the bench.

Has a reasonable amount of physicality and can head a ball as he proved with Barnsley. Fletcher....getting on a bit. Nuhiu.......sorry but cannot see what he gives to the team on the pitch. Lovely guy ..heart of a lion but...... Fletcher just turned 30 so wouldn't say he's getting on a bit yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevan Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Definitely the priority needs to be two centre backs. as for the forwards, I really don't see what Nuhiu brings to the squad and for the sake of getting rid of another wage, I'd sell if possible, or simply tell him he's free to find another club. Not sure what the financial implications of that would be as I neither know what he's paid, nor the length remaining on his contract, but I can't imagine it would be too serious.
