WalthamOwl Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 (edited) We need to sign a winger with pace and that can actually create chances and a striker to put the ball in the net before the window closes. We still look so weak going forward, if we don’t address these problems there is only one way the season will go and the club will only have themselves to blame.

Shetland Owl Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 A LWB that can cross is essential. If we did get Zahore we would play him with Patterson and that would mean Windass would move to RWB, would have to see if that would work out 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give reach a run of games there were he is comfortable and sure that will be one problem solved? He isn’t and never will be a striker of cm left hand side all day long?

We have 1 out and out striker 2 wingers 3 goalkeepers 6 central defenders 6 central midfielders The squad is dangerously unbalanced and I think we will need another fire sale next summer before it starts getting better.

Delusional if you think he’s a possibility. Agreed, adding to this why would he want to sign for a side currently 8 points from safety when he could have his pick of quite a few sides sat far above us in the league.

Guest wilyfox Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Would take Green. We need someone with end product to put pressure on Harris for his place, who is getting away with producing fookall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would he be signed as a wing back to rival Harris? Is he a creative player? Completely agree with you about Harris.

Can cross, can finish. Needs to step out of his comfort zone at Villa and forge a senior career somewhere before it passes him by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beswetherick Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Green is more of a wide attacking player, decent signing for a team playing with 4 at the back and wingers but I don’t see how he’d fit into our current system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Themagiccap Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 suits Green and the rest of the squad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something we don’t seem to play with Reach & Harris aren’t wing-backs either - nor was Murphy, but we try to convert them which is fine so long as they’re prepared to get up’n down and get stuck in. Reach had his best game for a while yday which is encouraging. I like Harris, but he needs challenging for a lack of end product. Green may push him.

Personally think Reach is the best option for wing back (given a run of games) than anyone we currently have a the club. He provided a good outlet yesterday and an assist. Palmer - no good in the final third. Odubajo - no good at defending in the box. Harris - end product often lacking. Penney - not experiences enough. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He kinda was alright yesterday, but the link up with our left sided centre back, VanAken, was non existent, and really should have been exploited more by the Londoners. Going forward isn’t an issue, sure he isn’t dynamic, making lung busting runs, but he does get up and down, and can deliver a good cross. It’s further back where I have an issue with him in this position, he is defensively unaware of what might be going on behind, and of course, can’t tackle to save his life 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Murphy gone, Reach is our most potent wing-back. No doubt about that. The pleasing thing was him asking to go back there and put in a determined performance to prove himself again. That’s what he needs to do - and what we need him to do. At his best, his contribution is comparable to what Murphy gave us. Still need another winger good in 1v1s. We’ve only Harris who can square up a defender and take him on. Need someone to compete with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
