So if we play 3 in the middle, he will play that running role, Bannan will be the playmaker and either Joey or Hutch will be defensive midfield. left back it is then 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like both Hector and Onomah will give us more options, possibly more balance, energy and physicality too? A box to box midfielder is one of the things we've missed, since Lee's injury problems. Hector sounds versatile too, both sound like they will give us more strength in depth and although not hugely exciting signings, they could be canny signings to address some of the weaknesses and imbalance in our first team?

Yep, I'd imagine so, with their experience, I'm more excited or pleased to see that we've focused on addressing our first team weaknesses and the balance of the side. Rather than just going for anyone and trying to fit them in? Like we've been guilty of in the past few years. It sounds like they should fit into how we play, bringing some much needed energy, versatility and physicality too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee, Fletch, Hooper all need rotation. FF too, and Matias looks like giving us that option. Nuhiu and Joao will miss many games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesteel Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Given that Brazilian Lucas Piazon’s last three seasons have been down at Fulham and Reading it’s an indication of where his tastes probably lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmowl Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 1 hour ago, Ozymandias Owl said: I distinctly remember when we bought him he'd played as a striker at Preston. Reach is a runner. I think he's better going forward whether from wing back or across midfield. It would be interesting to see if he can play with his back to goal. Only played second striker 7 times for PNE, scoring once. Played 16 times LW and 13 LB. Anyway, we have seen him enough to know he’s never a striker in a million years, and what’s more we already have about a squillion strikers anyway. Hes a damn fine LW, a very decent LWB and a decent LB. I think it’s a terrific problem to have and Jos will have a master plan. My line-up right now Palmer Lees Hector Penney Onomah Bannan Reach Joao Fletcher Forestieri Heaven help Jos when Hooper and Lee fit. Cant see Hutch starting often. He has failed to impress Jos this season so he will need to get a chance and take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok he rushed players back who weren't ready but that's a different thing. And Joao won't be missing many games, even when everyone's fit. I'm pretty sure of that. I think Hooper's the one who will have a real struggle, not only getting into the team, but also working hard enough to stay there if he does play.
