Inspector Lestrade Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Da Cruz approach play was fine, he seemed to work hard and plenty of skill and speed, was quite impressed with him, but the longer he played the goals did not arrive. In the final assessment that's what he will be (should be) judged on scoring goals! He failed to score so we should be looking elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gurujuan Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 1 hour ago, flash said: Agreed. I expect us to bring in a Leko type forward/winger, Windass and then a target man type of striker looking at how Monk has set up in the past. I think we look weak in our wing back areas too so hopefully we’ll get one of these. I would take DaCruz, or Windass, as long as we had four better options as well Yes Monk’s set up at Birmingham was a big man through the middle (Juke) a wide striker (Adams) and an attacking midfielder on the other flank (Jota) with Mashona the creative midfielder It’s possible Windass and DaCruz could be earmarked for the Adams and Jota roles It’s unlikely that they will supply the goals those two scored though We also don’t have a centre forward of any description, and when the system is so dependent on that type of player, we’ll need a back up player of similar stature We’ve already seen how much we missed Fletcher when he was absent If that is the way we want to set up, we are looking at bringing in 4-5 strikers to make the system work 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s almost as is half of us are scared shitless, and half can’t wait for the season to start because it will be great. TBH I’m normally really optimistic at the start of the season. Don’t know if it’s 5he hangover from the second half of last season, or the lack of incoming players, but im really concerned about the direction we are heading. Maybe a couple of good signings will perk us all up a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have been on about giving players from lower divisions a chance. Why should Da Cruz be any different? He's become a bit of a whipping boy for some. For me it depends if he improves as he adjusts to English football and feels comfortable in our country. He looks to have a lot of the right abilities, it just depends on how he improves on the others. If he comes cheap he could be a good addition. If he wants too much then don't bother. It's not make ot break either way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not scared shitless but I think it will be a bit of a grind all season with new players to bed in and possibly a new system, On the other hand bring it on, we will cope or Monk will get the boot. I take the view that you deal with what life brings, good or bad. Supporting a football club is the same, the good bits are fantastic but the bad bits are there just to bring you down to earth.

mcmigo Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 We would be mad to sign da Cruz. He was absolutely hopeless. You could take any old clogger from league 1 and he would do a better job 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloxwich Owl Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 MILLWALL have confirmed a double swoop on Derby County for Mason Bennett and Scott Malone. Bennett, 24, joins on a permanent deal for an undisclosed fee, while left-sided defender Malone, 29, has signed a season-long loan deal. The pair are Lions boss Gary Rowett’s third and fourth recruits of the summer, after Ryan Woods and Troy Parrott. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troy Parrott could be the standout striker in the league this season & the Bennett link we had a few weeks ago kinda interested me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has attributes, but seems to struggle a lot with niggling injuries. Parrott is a real prospect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
