SallyCinnamon Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Again we are going into the season without a player with genuine pace or with the ability to go past a man. I know Carlos doesn't like that sort of player as it doesn't fit in with his system, but having a pacy option on the bench just gives us something else. Another option when we are looking to win a game. Very worried this season is going to mirror last seasons dull, laborious performances which we make hard work out of. May have got us points last season but it didn't get us up and this league has only been strengthened. Buzzing for Saturday and will go into in optimistic but deep down I don't think CC will last long this time round. Hope that's not the case.

owlZfan84 Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 FF has genuine pace AND the ability to go past a man. He's the only one though in our entire squad of about 46 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AwokenGiant Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 (edited) Pace with end product are at a premium and we are shopping carefully, plenty of 'Linford Christie's' with no quality out there! Edited August 1, 2017 by AwokenGiant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, then look at Teddy Sheringham complete opposite. Some of our fans are obsessed about us signing pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serious question though, if JJ was in his prime would you actually take this guy back? He'd definitely add something we don't have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Reach may have the pace/ ability to beat a man and get in a good cross but it needs coaching into him, we seem to depend on Hunt and Pudil for crosses and good ones are very few to say the least.

First season under Carlos I would have said no. Last season it was very obvious, especially once other teams knew that sitting back was the best way to nullify us.
