The Wall Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 I'm not usually one to pick people up on spelling, but "phikoshy"? Agree with the sentiment by the way 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ever the pessimist Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Still signing ones who are a gamble fitness / injury wise though. I can understand why, but if some of these new players succumb to further injuries then we can’t really complain about bad luck - it’s the gamble we are taking. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morepork Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 (edited) I’m happy to see some younger players but age isn’t always the key. Be they younger or more experienced, whomever we sign needs to have that strength of character, resilience, belligerence and a willingness to leave everything out on the pitch. That kind of mentality will see us make progress, become hard to beat, feared even. We simply must become a team other teams hate to play, then build from there.

I can understand why, but if some of these new players succumb to further injuries then we can’t really complain about bad luck - it’s the gamble we are taking. But if we sign loads of injury prone players then at least each week you will be able to get a team together. New philosophy apparently, never been tried. Another seven or eight signings and new hospital wing should see us through to promotion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lot of talk recently in here about Ian Knight. Great player great future ahead of him and one horrendous tackle changed that. As you say we are taking a gamble hopefully it will pay off.

However, results will not be instant. We as fans, need to show some patience. It will all be about the performances, not the results for the first 6-10 games. After that, results will consistently improve, in-line with the improved performances from the off. Very small margins between success and failure in this division. We will be a team, everyone fighting for each other, without factions or cliques. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peggyowl Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 All player are a risk. Look at some we’ve had in the passed. The difference with the signings so far are that if they perform to their full potential we have some proper scalable assets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N0rtherner Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Younger, less injury-prone squad will see us well in a season crammed with very frequent matches. Squad is still a bit light, so we need a few more to be ready. Maybe one more for each position - esp. if we manage to do the right thing and sell Westwood now!
