S72 Owl Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Now is the time to start rebuilding the team ready to hit the ground running next season. Im confident Bruce can get us in good shape ready for the first game. Last few years our season hasn’t started until September. Hopefully DC can sort something out to avoid an embargo and give Bruce an hand. I reckon we’re going to need about 8 new signings to transform and freshen this squad up. One thing we must do now is get Westwood signed up. The best keeper in the league. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gurujuan Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Big issues to sort out One of the biggest is what do we do with Bannan? A fine little player, but far too lightweight to play in a two 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fine little player, but far too lightweight to play in a two Unless you go with a similar style to Leeds in a 4-1-4-1 formation with a new central striker who has pace and mobility which maybe is something we lack in the modern game. Agreed that Bannan is better in a midfield 3. He can pull it off in a midfield 2 in a lot of games but against better opposition he struggles. Nothing against him - he was up against a fitter, youthful side who played with 3 in the midfield today. It was always going to be difficult.

Totally agree, and it wasn’t a dig at Bannan, who I think is a fine player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j17tjp Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Reece Brown - Forest Green Rovers a class player, plying his trade in L2. I’d love him in the middle. Can defend, attack, assist, score, has bags o’pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mix younger , quicker players with fletcher and Hutchinson and we would be okay . Hooper etc have had their time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fine little player, but far too lightweight to play in a two We need to sign a quality centre midfielder. So it either gives Bannan competition or replaces him. We have to improve the team, which means bringing in better than we’ve got. Either way Bannan will still have a big part to play. If we sign some pacy wingers we could easily play 3 centre midfielders, especially away from home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamiejohn Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 For the first time in years we have a manager who I have total faith in not only to bring in the right players but to retain and release the right players. Bruce knows what is needed and has a proven record of finding the right players wether it’s from the lower leagues, Scotland or further afield and contrary to what some would have you believe not always for top dollar, his use of the loan market is also outstanding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A E Neuman NYowl Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 The need for more athletic players was evident today. At times Leeds looked like they had an extra man on the pitch, Norwich will be the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birley Owl 1867 Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Hope we aren't signing poo from league 2. Need to be looking at good players who know this league, with a smattering of young, hungry loans from premier league clubs. Not lower league risks.

Lord Snooty Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 I've every confidence we have the right man in charge and that he already has a list of players in mind. The speed with which he got in Lazaar, Aarons and Iorfa, energetic, quick players tells me that. Big summer ahead. And one I'm actuslly looking forward to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they're decent physical specimens, with energy, endeavour, stamina, pace and half a brain to carry out instructions. ..as long as they fit a proper thought out transfer policy in line with an on pitch system and plan... ... I'm not bothered what league they come from or even if I've heard of them to be honest. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
