Lord Nilsson Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Where do people think we need strengthening then in January to get us to a team capable of competing comfortably in this division? In quite a few games we just have not had the players capable of competing with the opposition. - I think we are crying out for a proper striker with championship pedigree. Does anyone on the books at present fit the bill really? - We seem to struggle to get a grip in midfield so I'd say central midfield needs strengthening. The likes of McCabe, Corry should be allowed to develop naturally. We miss Barkley's attacking threat I think. - I love Llera but don't think he's really going to fit the bill in the longer term so a proven championship centre back too. I suppose one way of looking at this is by thinking which of our players would be of interest to today's opponents (Burnley)? Would they feel they could add to their squad?

Guest Lawrie Maddens Hump Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 (edited) Striker (pacey and one who plays on the shoulder) and midfielder (one who can find those pockets of space just behind the strikers) Edited January 1, 2013 by Lawrie Maddens Hump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hola Tidman Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 (edited) Still need what we did in the summer. Young(ish) Centre half, Solid Centre mid, Creative Winger and a Pacey Striker. Keith Tracey fits the creative winger role. Danny Batth fits the centre half role. Cant believe DJ didn't want these 2 in pre-season!

i used to be sc_owl Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 I think we are ok at centre-half with Llera and Gardner. Not great, but ok. Same in centre-midfield as well. Our main issue is a lack of end product and delivery from the wings and a proper goal scorer. It's not going to happen but if we spent money on quality on the left wing and up front then we could still probably finish lower mid table.

Guest totemowl Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 2 in central midfield and 2 up front. Would like to see Barkley back but with an experienced midfielder who can help run things. No idea who tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest phshaw Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 We do have a few areas in need of remediation. However we need to prioritise and not be scattergun in our recruitment. The priority is obvious; after our best run of the season we have still only scored 1 goal in the last 3 games. I rest my case. Finally if DJ is going to come on the radio immediately after games he should keep well away from quoting statistics like win % or "only 1 defeat in 6" when it should be 1 in 5 or 2 defeats in 6. It is easy to manipulate statistics but if you quote them, it is essential that you quote them correctly!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamK2292 Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 We need a goalscorer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Triplej2 Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Centre mid and striker. We can cope everywhere else. If Milan sanctions it for the correct players the gare reciepts will neutralise the cost for him this season and save him untold amounts by keeping us up.

Wolfmanjack Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Do we think Treacey is better than JJ and/or Antonio? Ditto with Batth and/or Llera? I'm better than JJ and I'm thirty years older than him. I can't run as fast as he does, but I can certainly find one of my own team mates when I pass or cross the ball. He should've been booted out after his second season with us.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sweet&TenderOwl Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 We need at least 2 strikers, a midfielder or two, a Treacy-esque winger and a pacy centre-back. But we ain't got the money to go out and get them. Even with players going out or returning to their parent clubs, we still won't be able to bring in the players we need. A change of manager was what we needed a few weeks back whilst we were on one of our worst ever runs in our history to freshen things up. Can't see us getting out of the bottom three with our current manager and squad, and the January window will do little or nothing to change the situation.
