But i think Monk has already seen this and the midfield has been linking up with Fletch a lot better with Luongo behind him. Luongo was missed in the 2nd half on Tuesday. Give them more time playing this system and i think we will see more goals from everyone. Also, Villa and united didn't need a pukki style player and went up. More than 1 way to get promoted from this league. 1-0, 1-1, 1-0 means 7 points, we keep doing that we'll go up. Bring it on. Exactly it's a team that is there to get results not score three goals a match and concede four for our entertainment and so far they are doing that.

While I sort of agree, perhaps Villa and Utd weren’t the best examples, Villa had a total of 52 league goals scored by forward players, with Abrahams contributing 26, and Utd’s forwards were responsible for 46 goals, Billy Blunt scoring 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s Reach’s best position. LW or RW then, if we get rid of Murphy, which we should do we need to replace him. Harris could easily get injured, FF, who knows what he will bring, done nowt for a long time, Reach is ok but that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 The good thing is, we are thinking of ways we can improve, not out of desperation, but from a position of strength Certainly, I am more than happy with the way things are going at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All our forwards are out of contract at the end of the season, so it is a position group that will change dramatically next season. For this season i think our only hope of a new striker is a PL loan that works out well in Jan. I can't see Monk being able to change Fessi, Rhodes, Winnall or Nuhiu into top 20+ championship strikers. We might be 1 season away from a serious crack at promotion, but while Fletch is doing well, i will keep my hope alive this season. If we lose Fletch we are doomed, doomed i tell you.

Mr Hooper Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 1 hour ago, gurujuan said: Again, using that logic, Mitrovic is on course to score 40 odd league goals Do you think he will? History suggests Fletcher, Harris and Reach won’t score 45 league goals. Of course all those things COULD happen, but it’s unlikely they will. It’s just applying some common sense It's just a very strange logic. It's not like our players our completely over performing and scoring 3 goals a match. They're consistently playing well, with an off game every now and then. Comparing that to Mitrovic, a player in form and scoring more than he has ever done, is a strange one. Btw Mitrovic will get 30+ goals this season. Far to good for this league and is surrounded by creative players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big, strong, quick, under 25... One costly mistake against Hull. Other than that, I think he's been superb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He starred in Colchester’s win over Spurs but there’s a lot more to him than that. Only 22. Developed at Brentford’s academy so good footballing principles. Really quick and started out as a striker so has an eye for a goal. Out of contract at the end of this season. Fits into the Wilder hungry young L1 player model and a better long term solution than Murphy. Feels like one of those players we should target before the big clubs make up their mind.

Wouldn't mind seeing them switch wings for a bit some games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd recruit someone a few years younger to learn from and succeed Fletcher, like Florian Kamberi at Hibs. He's arrogant, but has all the attributes to develop into the role.
