WUGGAMONKEY1 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 If we were to use the Green money to bring in another player, would it be better to bring in another centre half? I know we have Dunkley and Gibson as cover for Hutchinson & Iorfa but I thought Dunkley looked quite a bit off the pace when he came on v Fleetwood. He didn’t look overly comfortable playing out from the back either. Maybe he just needs minutes to build his sharpness? Gibson is a bit of an unknown quantity to me and I haven’t seen him play. Hopefully I’m ‘worrying’ about nothing. After all, Hutchinson & Iorfa may stay fit and play the vast majority of our games! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hirstysfags Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Maybe Gibson was brought in on the strength of Green going? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyowl Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Rather give Gibson and Brenan a chance. I wouldnt bring anyone else in, squad is a good size now and dont need it bloated. Re assess in January where hopefully we can play transfer fees again! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest LondonOwl313 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 We have 2 players for every position apart from left back so that’s the only gap. Everywhere else should be 1 in 1 out to keep it balanced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we should be fine, I think in a real crisis don't forget we could always put Palmer or one of the youngsters in there aswell. From what I've heard about Gibson he's supposed to be decent, fingers crossed 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozzy85 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Save the money for Jan. We'll have an idea of where we need to strengthen. I mean hopefully we're well on our way to being champions by then and we can spend it on open top bus at end of season. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bouncing Owl Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 I honestly don’t think we need any more players. The squad is big enough now. I wonder whether we trying to offload El Pato? I thought him and Green would be surplus to requirements a couple of weeks ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brennan's played well when he's come in, think he deserves a chance, he scares me far less than Dunkley. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeonLeon Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 I’d go with a young back up defender, centre back or left back, before any other positions currently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's our only commanding aerial presence in defence though and there'll be games when this will be imperative. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daizan10 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Id say him being off the pace early on, after playing one game is ok. Id rather use the money (if it is surpless) to get another goal scorer in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kagoshimaowl Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 (edited) For the four billionth time…we aren’t ALLOWED to spend any money. Only loans and frees! If people mean ‘money for wages’ the answer should still be no. We definitely have enough cover in every position.

wmb Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Ball playing defenders are not easy to come by. We're fairly spoilt that we have Hutchinson and Iorfa who are both comfortable with the ball. Not many in this league or the championship. I think it somewhat skews the opinion on their replacements. I don't think it's fair to compare Dunkley or Gibson to either of them as they are absolute Rolls Royce players at this level. I actually think barring any injuries I would bank the Green money until January and use it to strengthen where we need to then. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really a striker and not really a midfielder in the type Moore seems to favour (good on the ball). Offers decent versatility I guess though? Works hard and committed.

The blood and thunder of a local derby may be right up his street. It may be a bit more ‘head it, kick it’ type of game (although I hope not). They have a couple of big lads up front so, hopefully, he’ll come into his own. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
