oldishowl Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 We have 3 left sided centre backs but know Van Aken isn’t up to it and we don’t know whether Thornily or Borner are or not. I am pretty sure Hector would make a massive difference to our back four and we should be doing all we can to get him . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't rate Ash Baker's chances of many games this year. Neither did those doing the squad numbering! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might have watched Hector doing the job of a CB properly and finally the penny dropped. Probably not though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was excited by the link with Turnbull earlier in summer. Tom Bayliss at Coventry is another prospect worth turning our attention to. Bayliss is another player set to sign for PNE. Makes me think about what sort of players we would have been after if we had a manager all pre season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like all the others, all he was interested in doing, was signing older experienced players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 1 hour ago, Junk Smuggler said: Always played RB hasn't he? Could have him on the right and Palmer or Odubajo on the left. Kind of restricts the fluency of attacks by having right footers on the left. Personally think with Odubajo, Iorfa and Palmer we are well stocked at RB. We really could do with a solid left footed LB though. Would probably need to shift Fox out in the meantime or before deadline day for this to happen though. Bree is a bag’o poo , not really better than Iorfa or Odubajo, and certainly no better than Palmer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigash_swfc Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Would be perfect for Ash Baker to go somewhere like Rotherham for a season, shame they can't afford his 40k per week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 James Bree ? Liam Palmer is far far better than he has or ever will be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloxwich Owl Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Bristol Live can report that Bristol City have enquired about Crystal Palace striker Connor Wickham. That would certainly be a statement signing as City go in search of a new striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluesteel Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 If Bayliss is off, we should look at Jordan Shipley from Coventry. Plays a similar kind of game to Clare who gave us a bit of drive from midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 The three players we have recruited look to be steady players at this level, and definitely bring something to the squad What we need now is, some younger players, most likely on loan, who will give us, not only energy, but that extra bit of guile that top six Premier League players can give you. We also need to find a way of bringing Hector back to the club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish we had him in already. Just loans, if possible it's seeming like? Hope we can get Hector back somehow. I wouldn't mind a couple of loanees, we might be able to get better quality in on loan, than what we could possibly buy? Sooner or later, in the near future, we're going to have to change our methods or ways in regards with sales and recruitment,wheeling and dealing, if we're going to keep competing and challenge more seriously at this level for promotion.
