Whatahoot Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Make no mistake Sasso is a good player and I for one am pleased he is signing permenantly. We need him !! Hutchinson and Loovens are injury prone, lets face the truth. Sasso may not be the 6'3" C/H ideal, but he is good in the air and very good when playing on the deck. He is a better footballer than Loovens, who frightens me to death when he has the ball at his feet. IMO, Loovens does not have either the speed or passing ability of Sasso. Sasso fits our style of play too. Don't get me wrong , Loovens has his strengths, but he also has a good few weaknesses. We do need and URGENTLY, another good quality C/B, with height and football abily. It won't be cheap, but its imperitive if we are to have the season we all want.

If Tom is back at least we'll start off in a good place tomorrow as long as he or Hutch doesn't limp off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HirstWhoScoredIt Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Everybody is absolutely kidding themselves. If we end up with four centre halves of Lees, Hutch, Loovens and Sasso (with no loan window available) it will end up being a major weakness in the squad. The real concern being that the other weak areas look like being right back and left back. There is no way Hutch or Loovens will play over 30 matches. If Lees gets a long injury we are absolutely screwed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ignoring his glandular fever, which is an illness that could happen to anyone, he was only injured for about five games Loovens managed 34 league games last season.

If Lees gets a long injury we are absolutely screwed. Completely disagree. We have no idea about how many matches Hutch will play this season. The truth is that if anybody in this league has 3 centre backs injured at the same time they are 'absolutely screwed'. If Hutch and Lees do stay fit we have arguably the best central defensive partnership. No point assuming the worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loovens played 27 league matches last season according to my intel. Hutch will not play over 30 matches in a season. He never has and never will. If he hadn't had glandular fever he would've played and got injured or suspended. Obviously when I say this there is obviously a chance they could, we are guessing. However Hutch has never played more than 25 matches in a season, and Loovens hasn't managed over 30 matches since 2008. Therefore, I am pretty sure it is I that is making the calculated guess. And we certainly shouldn't be banking our promotion chances on the two of them bucking this trend. Mark my words, if we don't sign another centre half this will bite us on the bum.

DuttyTeabags Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Hilarious how people are saying 'defensive weakness ' with the same 4 C/H who equalled the club record clean sheets last season. We've had 2 clean sheets this, and yes a mess up against Burton where a lack of cover was exposed. Lees is the lynchpin of that defence. Hunt, Palmer, Hutch will always play better with him in the back 4. Lees and Hutch/Sasso are the best blend for games where we are playing footballing sides. Lees/ Loovens for those with more aerial / physical approach. Loovens is insane in air. Lots of clubs would lose stability if they lost their key CH. Look at Brighton at Hillsborough without Dunk vs Amex, with. Let's hope Tuesday was a blip and with Jones + Sasso and a fit again Lees and Loovens we won't be bullied as we were other neet.

BenOwl1867 Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Massively underwhelmed with this one he is OK but not the best. I felt last year on the ball he looked uneasy, but why as it taken till now to sign him? Surely this was a plan in pre season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
