MrEdwards Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 I really don't understand starting with Marriott Patterson and Kachunga on the pitch, when there's only Joey and Bannan in the middle of the park. Three second strikers, no centre forward, basically non existant in the middle of the park. Exactly how many of our players are injured or unavailable? If Borner is fit why is Odubajo playing centre-back? I'm pulling my hair out here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But signing someone whose proven they can score 12 goals at this level playing RW and using them as a number 10 behind the striker, I find it really harsh to judge him! He was a poor-mans replacement for Murphy, but yes in that position you would be hoping for 10 goals. The strikers simply have to create a yard or come deep or take a risk. They sort of go through the motions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without Brown who will miss so many games this season our midfield looks so poor. As is the team..the way flint got turned after 20 secs,and Dawson..well..were fcuked..crap..

Then he got a bad injury which took away his pace. Hes scored 4 goals in the past 3 and a bit seasons. That’s where we are shopping now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the crazy thing, we've been told Windass Kachunga and Patterson have been signed as strikers but non of them are natural goal scorers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonofbert2 Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 I like Paterson. I’d play him in midfield while Luongo is injured. He’s game as fizz. Rest of ‘em prance about like the Moscow statefucking circus! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. Weve bought lots of cheap bits and pieces players, some prone to injury, rather than a smaller number of quality reliable players. Some will say “ its all we can afford”, but I totally disagree. Why spend £100k per week on 6 poor/injury prone players rather than on 2 or 3 better quality better fitness record players? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club will have seen that he could potentially score 10 + goals and took gamble on him. It’s a very low risk, big reward type signing. But I think it’s harsh to judge him when he hasn’t played the position he’s proven he can deliver at this level. 2 of those seasons were spent at PL league which he clearly isn’t that sort of standard of player. But his return at Championship level of 83 games with 15 goals and 9 assists primarily as a winger is very decent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sefton owl Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 I do agree. At least last season with Fletcher it was obvious what we had to do and how best to utilise him (lump it up and cross in). We don’t seem to have a consistent, trusted game plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very odd buy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I completely agree, very odd buy. I thought him signing meant we would be using wingers. Don’t see the point in signing him if we are so stubborn on using a 352. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A E Neuman NYowl Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Some seem to think we had a good transfer window, but most of what we got was either players on their way back from serious injurys or players who were not first choice for other championship clubs. I do think Monk has identified players with commitment as he feels that was missing last season but not sure that is enough. Here we are 8 games in and you can see the flaws in out transfer policy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan48 Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Didnt see a great deal of committment today - more like a bunch of guys not quite knowing why they were there and looking lost , looking for the leader who also looked both lost and clueless about which direction to go in . - Clue you go towards the goal of the opposites not backwards and sideways .

Shetland Owl Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Think its time we tried Penney again, more likely to get a cross in than Harris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
