But yes two more strikers in and I think we have a decent squad Well I was vocal about it and believe there is no shame in that. Thanks God that DC and Moore are proving us wrong.

TrickyTrev Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 The recruitment so far looks good but I remember last summer, everyone banging on about how well we’d done in the transfer market, especially in signing Izzy Brown. It turned out on reflection to be one of the worst transfer windows the club has ever had. The proof will be in the pudding, I’ll wait and see before I decide whether it’s any good or not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks on kind post It’s all about opinions isn’t it. Some posters discuss, some just hysterical. It’s the hysterical ones who are quiet tonight. We won’t always agree about everything, that’s life. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not wrong to be fair. On paper it looks good. But won’t get too ahead of myself. I thought we had a good window last time in the circumstances. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Brown and Bannan were ever going to work in the same midfield together. Both want to dictate the play. Not sure Wing is like that though is he. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mmmm one or two of our more vociferous posters are quiet tonight aren’t they? Well if we hadn't already, now we've really messed up, haven't we? Wasting all our budget on Hunt, Wing and Peacock-Farrell...we'll have none left for quality League One players! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We still do but after today I’m feeling a bit more confident that will be addressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WUGGAMONKEY1 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Totally speculative, but I wonder if the signing of Wing means that Bannan may leave - either on loan or permanent. Maybe, I’m just a pessimist when I should just be happy with a good news day! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He obviously isn't a striker. I'm not convinced he's a midfielder. Don't get me wrong he always give 100% and he is good at shithousery, I just don't think he's a footballer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groundhopping Owl Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Lincoln sign Hakeeb Adelakun and Teddy Bishop on permanent deals. Smart business, they should be contenders this season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a squad hopefully looking abit like this Peacock-Farrell Dawson Wildsmith J. Hunt Palmer Dawodu Iorfa Hutchinson Dunkley Brennan (New) Brown Galvin Luongo Adeniran Dele Bashiru Bannan A.

Smart business, they should be contenders this season. Think we got better players in both positions. Both are talented but very inconsistent, Bishop also had terrible injury problems through out his career. Very highly rated at one point though and perhaps this move will get him back to his best.

Its to big a squad to maintain on a league one budget, most probably lucky to have 20 decent players before they are raiding the unheard of u18 players. I think it will be around 23 and the likes of Galvin, Waldock, Hagan as back up and getting involved now and then.

Let’s be real, some of those young lads should be out on loan or are simply not ready. Waldock, Hagan, Dawodu, Brennan, Dele-Bashiru, Hunt, Adedoyin - are they ready to step up? Don’t know if you don’t try, but none of them have benefitted from loan spells which is so crucial to their development. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malek Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Idealy we want team of 22 seniora players with U-23's stepping up and filling the gaps in our squad when needed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onlyonedavidhirst Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 That squad list looks decent, but with Windass out at the moment my concern is where the goals will come from. I didn’t jump on the band wagon with the signings last year, though I thought a couple would do better than they did (Marriott and Kachunga) but I think we are at least 2 regular scorers from anything to get too excited about so far. Plus our central defence is an interesting one and it’s effectiveness could be dependent on whether we play 2 or 3 CHs. If we go into the season primarily with Iorfa, Dunkley and Hutch, we have 3 players who will need to score quite often and 2 of them need to stay fit for most of the season and that’s if we are playing just 2 of them. Plus they all played as CHs in the team that took us down, clearly all 3 have looked like they’d be incredibly good players L1, but will they get close to those levels and how much has injuries effected them (Eg will we get a Dunkley similar to the one who went up with Wigan or a Dunkley who last year often looked lost, one paced and not that good at defending) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
