gurujuan Posted March 17, 2017 Author Share Posted March 17, 2017 What I find difficult to understand, we all watched us from August to January, what made any of you think sticking Rhodes and Winnall in that team, would make us a more potent side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It runs deeper IMO than individual players. Like I say it looks like a general malaise. We might have signed another CB or rampaging central midfielder or flying winger and it might well have ended up the same. We have terrific players on the books who I believe are not achieving full potential as a group. IMO it runs deeper than Rhodes or Winnall or other individuals for that matter. We do have a talented squad of individuals, but no sign of a winning side Stand by my opinion, Rhodes and Winnall, were not what was needed Edited March 17, 2017 by gurujuan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great to get when available. As I say I think that the problem is more general and again we might have signed players in other positions and still ended up the same. What we have could and should IMO be capable of better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We might have, but a new centre back, another midfielder and quick striker, instead of McManaman, Rhodes and Winnall, would, I feel, have served us better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the consensus of opinion when we signed them It would help if they got service and didn't have to come deep or onto the wing to look for the ball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have rather less confidence that CC and his team would get the best out of your suggested signings ; at least quickly enough. This season is slipping and unless something dramatically changes then I'd expect to see the real benefit of Rhodes (and possibly Winnall) next term probably under a new coach.

Little wonder they are struggling. This and this again. All those quality midfielders and they couldn't unlock their own front doors. Serious questions need asking of Carlos.

trask43 Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 They weren't required last seasons four strikers plus fletcher is more than enough for this league and should have been persisted with this season. I understand the temptation with rhodes and am still glad hes here but he makes one of hooper or fletcher redundant which is not what we need and long term I dont see where winnall fits in even if he is a success he probably makes joao redundant which is more money down the drain. We'd be a much stronger team had we spent 8 million quid on a left back or winger and signed another centre half instead of winnall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, with our injuries, that would have left us with Nuhiu and Fletcher for tonight's game, and no attacker on the bench either of those two though, with a quick young striker playing off them Edited March 17, 2017 by gurujuan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Sl-OWL-ly Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 When we can get a manager (sorry coach FFS) that can work with players to get the best out of them rather than trying to justify a book.... We need to get someone in that can actually "do it" rather than talking about it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trask43 Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 But in that case we wouldnt have loaned out joao so we'd have had joao and fletcher up top with nuhiu and hirst on the bench hardly a crisis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
