Blatter Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 1 hour ago, Inspector Lestrade said: 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. It’ll be ok. The young ones heal quicker. Westwood is living proof. Mid 30’s been injured since last Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Agree with that. The age isn't the issue that's key. It's the attitude that matters. It does worry me that a side of in the main young players won't be savvy enough in certain situations. In our case can we see a win out with a few mins to go. Having said that, our side of older more mature players didn't do too well at it last season any how!!! The balance is the key & a very difficult job for Monk and his team. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kameron Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Two of the signings so far are massive gambles given the amount of time both have had out due to injury. We appear to have learnt absolutely nothing and again are signing players who have had long lay off with serious injury. In the past 3 seasons Izzy Brown has had more time off than Judith Chalmers.

FreshOwl Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Love the new direction we seem to be going in re recruitment, and we’ve got the experience of bannan, Lee(?), Borner, Palmer, Rhodes etc to balance out the influx of youth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always hate it when playing Brentford, there teams always have that, je ner sais quoi, can never put your finger on it, but they always seem to be able to put together pass and movement to unpick any team. It's unnerving and that's what I would like to see from our side. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthernOwl Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 2 hours ago, Pieman said: I so agree with this mate. 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. If we get poor results in the first 6-10 games we could be as good as down. We really cant afford a slow start to the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously a team full of older players is not desirable. But a good chunk of experience in a side is usually a positive. Lots of older players are just as 'hungry' as their younger counterparts.

Don't panic, we have a very experienced medical department experienced in dealing with multiple injuries at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
