If we are serious about this it must mean a swap deal involving Rhodes surely. They need a striker badly. Well Bristol city are desperate, sold a few and lost out on a lot of targets. Let's see if a deal can be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shezzas left peg Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 9 minutes ago, TheEnchanter said: Seems we want to plan for 1 up front in general. More wingers means it's likely we'll be 4231 or 433 from here on in. I noticed last year Bruce tried to move us to his 4-1-2-2-1formation he uses a lot,with reach and Aaron's either side of fletcher, hutch holding. With what we've already signed and what we're looking at, it's either a good fit for the manager we have in mind, or Bullen has decided this is also the way he wants us to play. It's a solid defensive formation to hit teams on the counter as it turns into a 4-1-4-1 when defending and can go to a 4-3-3 when attacking or throwing the kitchen sink so to speak. Works for me.

StudentOwl Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 (edited) O'Dowda on a permanent instead of Murphy on loan would be fantastic business. O'Dowda and Murphy on loan would feel like overkill to me. At the risk of posting the same bland statement in every thread... we really need a left back. We can get an extra winger by pushing Odubajo further forward. A left back allows that and would be far more important for the balance of the squad than getting another winger in. Wingers are great, but with Reach, FF, Harris, Odubajo... we only really need one more added to the squad. O'Dowda is a good player though... him joining us would be brilliant. On balance, I'd rather this as an instead of Murphy loan. Edited August 8, 2019 by StudentOwl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah we are going to break the mold and play Westwood, Lees, Bannan and Fletch in the middle and then 7 players on the wings. 3 on one wing and 4 on the other. Confuse the hell out of them.

I get the impression that for all intents and purposes the club are a bit over FF. Not officially, obviously, and of course he'll still have a part to play for us. But I think the days of him being indispensable or even a guaranteed starter might be done, and the trust that he can be out there for us week after week as part of a promotion chasing side just isn't there. Reach, Harris, Murphy and O'Dowda would put us in quite a firm position to sell FF at the next opportunity we get to do so without it being all that detrimental to our season.
