Mike Hunt Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 BPF Hunt Brown Wing Adeniran Shopido Sow Corbineau Gregory Kamberi Gibson Johnson Byers Berhinio I keep hearing that Moores recruitment has been great but I don’t buy into that We didn’t need Hunt or Wing Sow Corbineau and Shopido don’t look as effective as Kadeem Harris and that takes some doing We are desperate for a left footed centre back but we are 10 games in and not seen Gibson yet Johnson is getting pelters because he is playing left back and is a wide player I think the recruitment has been bang average tbh to say we are probably one of the highest payers in the division 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southie_Owl Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Just taking a couple of examples, Wolves fans were raving about Corbeanu when we signed him. Said they were surprised he wasn’t kept for their squad for this season. Wing got rave reviews at Rotherham last season in the league above. For some reason players who are rated elsewhere, aren’t very good at S6. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d stick my neck out and say that’s probably the case for half of them to be fair! 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughdowd Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 I think it’s more about trying to play out from the back …… You don’t play like that in league one ….. Moore needs to realise … quick !!!! 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ES6owl Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 We need to put round pegs into round holes. I do feel his recruiting has been good tho I just don’t understand all the chopping and changing. Individuals wise I think we’ve got the best players on paper in league. But for some reason it’s just not working. It’s a different starting 11 near enough but it’s the same performance and results where getting. We’re still crying out for the grit and urgency/passion we want to see. For me we don’t look like we want it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Moore’s tactics are crap………Cut the playing out from the back out ….. more attacks and crosses from the wings….would soon turn things round …… but sadly I think Darren Moore won’t do it ………….. Nice but Dim …!!!!! 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDS Owl Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Waits for someone to come along and say DC and the advisors signed the players. Moore is crap manager and DC is an horrific owner. Nothing changes until DC leaves. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheff74 Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 (edited) Under the financial circumstances he was working, and considering the size of rebuild required, he probably did as well as he could, . We have been screaming for a clearout for a few seasons, and we finally got one, but unfortunately it had to be made up of free transfers and loans. That seriously limits the quality of player you can bring in, overall. I think we will only be able to judge things properly when the season is further along. It might yet come good, and I am trying to remain optimistic. Edited October 3, 2021 by Sheff74 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markg Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 I don’t rate the recruitment and I said so at the time. But he was working with his hands tied really. What else could he have done? Chansiri is and always has been the problem recently. Let’s not forget that he is the reason why we are in this damn league to begin with 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash77 Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Out of 13 signings can't really say more than 1 or 2 are doing well so far sadly. Could argue theres alot of back up but despite all the signings we badly need luongo and windass fit, iorfa, bannan, pato, performing most games and staying fit and 1 or 2 more to step up imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post SallyCinnamon Posted October 3, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 3, 2021 Pretty decent recruitment considering we were known as the club who don’t pay their players on time up until start of July. I think we’ve signed too many attacking players - to the point where Moore doesn’t know his best team. A manager should know his starting 11 ahead of the first game for me. Moore doesn’t and we’re in to October. We have some good quick players but we don’t utilise them. We should be playing with two wingers and two strikers in this division with the attacking talent we have. Wing is a good player but not sure we are playing to his strengths whatsoever. He looked better in a two for me before he was subbed off. I keep saying it but let’s just go 4-4-2 and stop over-complicating things.

Kopparberg Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 I’m actually no longer looking forward to the arrival of the sports science guy Rob Lee, if Moore uses it as more reason to tinker and rotate the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 The squad needed freshening up and he did that. On paper, it looked solid and most of the signings made sense. There is a decent side in there, but Moore doesn't know what it is imo. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 On paper I think we have a very decent squad for this level. For whatever reason imo they aren’t performing anywhere near the standard they are capable of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Snooty Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 BPF - Flaky Hunt - Who is the right back if Palmer gets injured and we didn't have Hunt? Brown - Consistent for my money. One of the most consistent. May even be a great left back. We might find out one day. Adeniran- Gives us energy in the middle and gets into the box and tries to get shots away. Something out central midfield hasn't had for ages. Shopido Been in and out of the side and picked up that debut strain. Given a run I expect he'll do far more than Harris ever did Sow Not seen enough. Corbineau Not seen enough Gregory will poach if we get the ball in the opposition box occasionally Kamberi Thought he was starting to look match fit before he was bombed Gibson Who knows really. Who's seen him play? Crystal ball needed to know he'd get crocked. Johnson Not a defender. Nice cross on Saturday though. Byers Decent passer of the ball. Surprised we haven't seem more seeing as that's how we're trying to play. Berhinio Should have probably had a debut hat-trick. Hit the post yesterday. Took a pay cut to come here. A no risk signing. Given a run I can see him being a player. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LondonOwl313 Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 There’s more than enough quality in this squad to win the league. Who has a better squad than us at this level? The fact that we’re not top is down to a bit of bad luck, Shrewsbury and Ipswich results costing us 4 points. And poor management not setting us up right and being tactically inept Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McRightSide Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Sow and Kamberi are clearly squad fillers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earlsfieldowl Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 (edited) The recruitment has been ok - the issue is the man who has bought them in doesn’t know how to mould a team out of them. Edited October 3, 2021 by Earlsfieldowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
