Errol Flashman Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Best midfield and attack mebbe. Just a bloke. Being dragged along in a world that moves too quick for it's own good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post areNOTwhatTHEYseem Posted November 28, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 28, 2021 I don't know enough about the other squads in the league to say with confidence one way or another. I imagine 99% of posters are in the same boat. What I will say is that we have some very good players for this level, but a squad is about much more than the technical talents of its component parts: mentality, teamwork, desire, and spirit all combine to make a squad what it is. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willie Henderson Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Not sure, but we must be up there, they just need to carry on playing with the belief that they are. I think if there was a League 1 all star team we have quite a presence in it. Luongo, Dunkley, Bannan, Corbeanu and maybe Windass I think would be in it, which is the bones of a very good team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onlyonedavidhirst Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 In terms of squad valuations, in theory we have the most valuable squad so we must be up there. Having said that, Kachunga shows as £1.7 mill for Bolton on the database so it’s not a perfect science lol. it’s funny that one guy has replied saying best attack and midfield, yet at the start of the season we had posts along the lines of “will we ever concede this season” and fans worried that it was going forward where our weakness was. Plus last year fans constantly questioned whether all our problems are all down to the midfield (last 2 games we’ve used 5 different players in midfield I think - Bannan, Luongo, Dele-B, Windass and Byers) - 4 of them were at the club last year. Put a fit and at the top of his game Iorfa into the back line and the defence would look really good again, plus I suspect that we’ve sacrificed a little defensively to play a more expansive game - which I think most would support. I’d say a fair few of our team would get into the starting line up of any other L1 team, so we are up there, beyond that it’s how you use the players, the system, whether you have a good balance (we still lack a left centre back and a big unit up front) 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a quick look at the squads of the top six - it’s hard to know who’s is best - you end up looking for familiar names, but none are as familiar to me as our players Saying that, I thought from the start that it should be us and Rotherham as top 2. I’m interested to know if the few that laughed at our squad when Moore was stifling them have changed their opinion a bit (now we look better). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quinnssweetshop Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 (edited) We've played crap most of the season. We've had a couple of decent games. Let's see. Whether we can be consistent.

East Yorks Owl Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Football is so much about confidence. These very same players looked pretty nervous and fragile a few weeks ago, but thankfully the sap seems to be rising throughout the squad. I’m sure the return of Luongo and Windass has given everyone a lift and we’re starting to look like a solid unit. On another note we’ve witnessed a huge squad rotation from last season to this one. Given the merits of the two squads how do you reckon our League 1 squad compares to last years squad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 On paper, we probably do. Perhaps Ipswich have more depth, but it is close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prowl Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 We might or might not have the best players but it's about more than that. You need cohesion, desire and a sheer refusal to be beaten if you want to be the best. Early on there was no doubt we had good players but we were second best to teams who were less technically capable than we are but their organisation and work rate was better than ours. They wanted it more. Things seem to have changed now, our players seem to have gone from expecting to stroll through games to realising they are going to have to work their socks off or they will be also rans. I hope they can keep it up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McRightSide Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 I would say so, but that doesn’t necessarily correlate to promotion The reason I think that we have is the performances and results against our rivals at the top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
