matthefish2002 Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 We had a massive clear out in the summer of 2004, brought virtually a full new team. We went up season after from League 1 (Or whatever they call it at the time). Think preparation though started about January with looking at players and identifying then. If we haven't done any homework yet on recruitment we are already 1 step behind other clubs. Predict a relegation fight again next season to stop us falling into League 2.

Animis Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Moore needs to be strong in insisting he gets the players he wants - if it follows the same pattern as people suggest with Monk et al, we are likely to fail, as the pattern continues. I believe he could work a new XI into shape if allowed. If not he fall way like all the others. At some point DC needs to realise Einstein was right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If i remember right, 8 are from our alleged top 10 earners too I think westy lees and hutch would do well in L1, if contracts are reduced. Keep urhoghide....rest can go 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southsea Owl Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Lees, Hunt Urgohide. If Shaw was available I’d definitely keep him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we last got relegated our recruitment was abhorrent. We signed Teale, Morrison, Sedgwick, Heffernan etc. When you look at the 2011/12 promotion side under Megson/Jones hardly any of them were signed the year before. he got rid of most. It shows how hard it is to sort yourself out when you get relegated. We've proven twice that it took 2 seasons and some of that feels like luck rather than judgement especially in 2005.

No one in their right mind wants to keep that lot with the odd exception. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteOwl91 Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 18 minutes ago, 83owl said: Ideally we would get rid of at least 2 out of the 3. Whatever happens we can’t be in this same situation next season, blaming whoever’s in goal at the weekend all the while saying if only Westy was playing. I do agree there.

We got rid of a few last year and need to get rid of more now. I’m crossing everything that we somehow recruit well this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Derby owl Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 So new manager same out come of results, what does that tell you! Tatics might be wrong, Wrong players picked, All the managers this season have made mistakes? But bottom line is the players are not good enough and do NOT wear the shirt with pride and fight like f#$k to get the result, a WIN! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flat Owl Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 I would be surprised if any of our ‘top’ players would entertain the idea of dropping down to the 3rd tier even in any event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichSheffWeds Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Can you imagine this lot, even in League One? They would bottle it week in, week out against opponents who will give everything to give us a bloody nose. League One is horrible and they would hate it. Somehow, Moore has to press the re-start button with new players and new culture within the squad. Easier said than done unfortunately. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather us get a squad full of players between 18-24 year olds than these overpaid last pay day chumps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping they haven't started scouting players as yet purely down to if they have then Moore has had nothing to do with it! They must let Moore build his own squad!

wakefieldowl Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 1 hour ago, Bluewings said: That's because recruitment has been continuously poor. Fletcher -> Patterson Foresteri -> Windass Wallace -> Harris There's nothing wrong with overhauling a squad many teams have done it you can blame Chansiri all day long for the state of the club but the unacceptable performances of the players is down to them alone. Why keep players who are not good enough. Bizarre Oh wow.....that really hits home, when i read those replacements !!! No wonder we are going down 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
