Its all about stifling the opposition and nicking games on set pieces, you only have to go through the record of clubs he has managed, Goal scoring was a bigger problem in Monks teams,but the only difference,I suspect,is we wont concede az many Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless we want to play all of them at once at the back, a few training sessions might reveal that one is the new Paul Warhurst. Don't you remember the song.

I reckon we should have an extra 6 points so far with a proper keeper at the back. Not sure how you work that out. Think we have the 6th best defence in the league.

January could be good Name one that we could afford! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigash_swfc Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 We've had top strikers for this league haven't we... What we haven't had is the midfield. Since Lee, Lopez, Jones, Hutchinson to some extent....we've seen players like Butterfield and for all his effort, jury is still out on Pelupessy, Hunt might be a year or 2 away... We need a squad reshuffle, will only happen if we give Pulis time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t see pulis coming here with nothing to spend at all? No matter how we slag Chansiri one thing he has done constantly is back his manager as much as he can? Pulis will know we lack a left back target man and when he takes training he’ll see for himself how we haven’t that much attacking quality? I’m sure they’ll be some free agents he’ll have already been checking out , gestede is surely past it but even a deal till end of season wouldn’t break us his and players like him income is zero atm so we offer wot we like take it or leave it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick70 Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 Just seen that jazz Richard we got linked with few weeks back can play left back and played under pulis at boro might be an option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s probably just signed a £10k a week two year contract, which basically nets him half a million over the deal. Do you think his decision to sign on the dotted line was subject to any incomings in January. Not for me. He’s probably just glad to be on managerial merry go round again. ££££££’s in.

Doesn’t need the money does he ? Earned enough down the yrs and was sat on an easy Saturday afternoon contract with sky do you think he kneels the money? More like sees us as prob his last challenge and nothing to prove to any body about his career ?

He’s just lost a very expensive court case against the Crystal Palace owners, likely to cost him a couple of £m. His managerial stock was low and was probably pretty cheap, compared to some other Championship managers. He’ll have jumped at chance, forget any negotiations about January spend.

All speculation as you know ? And none of us will know but stand by my comments we’ll spend in January be it small fees loans of freebies all need paying for ... transfer fees loan fees wages all adds up to spending Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
