gurujuan Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 With everyone fit, our squad is upper mid table However, we can take heart from Cardiff, who had a squad of similar quality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fully fit squad we will be fine but we won't even have a fully fit squad to start the season with Hooper, Lee, Winnall and where ever Abdi now is.

Christ Almighty, when you think those two are possibly going to be our first choice fullbacks or wingbacks...League 1 standard at best, it really does hit home how ill equipped we are. Massive, massive issues to rectify in the full back / wing back positions, Jos needs some help. Edited July 19, 2018 by Walt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has played the majority of his career at this level. Fox however is utter garbage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codrowe Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Wonder if this will be the 4th season in a row we dont sign tbe centre back we are after. We will concede a load of headers from corners then panic loan a nobody from Finland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEnchanter Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Salford City sign Adam Rooney from Aberdeen. So the player has left a top level Scottish team that are in the Europa League to join a non leagu English side. He played 36 times last season and was seen as a first choice player. Apparently Salford will pay him 4k per week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox however is utter garbage. Yeah, just looked at his stats and Palmer has played most of his career at Championship level. It's been done to death, the Palmer debate and we'd only be going round and round in circles again so I don't want to go down that road but the thought of those two at wingback puts the fear of God into me. Funnily enough I've quite liked Fox when he has played centre back...just not left back or wingback. Surely Jos has got room to bring in a couple of loan signings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarnsleyOwl96 Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Fox and Palmer start at Wigan away as full backs it will be a long long old season and a very frustrating one. Reach lwb and a new rwb or see how baker is there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing signing, firstly it puts more question marks over the state of Scottish football... but that aside i like the fact he wants to join a story and help progress a club and he’s not just happy to sit in 3rd-6th place in Scotland every season.

Reach lwb and a new rwb or see how baker is there! You've got to believe it's Reach at wingback. I can go with Palmer as i don't think he's half as bad as some believe, but I've seen nothing from Fox to suggest he's good enough to play at left wingback.

I wouldn’t mind Reach & Boyd or Reach & Palmer. All three I think will be fit, hard working and with a bit of confidence can certainly hold their own. If I was an opposition manager I’d be terrified of a front three of Fessi, Jaoa and AN Other, especially if their given freedom by hard working players up and down the wings behind them!

TheEnchanter Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Bolton managed to sign Yanic Wildschut on loan for the season from Norwich. How have they pulled that off?! Always considered him a decent player and Norwich signed him for £7m the other season. Unless they just didn't want him to go to a rival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What’s palmers assist record from right back ? Must be shocking and has he ever scored from right back? As a rwb attacking is as important as defending so I struggle with Palmer on the attacking front , defensively he’s ok for the majority Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d laugh like a drain if Salford somehow found a way to balls it up. Sadly they seem to have a team good enough to get out of League Two, let alone the National League.
