The Rotherham lads and Vaulkes signings feel like the Boyd and Jones signings from Carlos3. Supposed tried and trusted cheat codes for promotion because they have done it before. It doesnt always work like that though. I thought BPF NML and Mas particularly were quality at this level. We seem like a very prosaic workmanlike squad at the moment Bannan apart. Hopefully we are the Wigan and Rotherham unglamorous type winning machine Summed it up better than I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A glaring omission hopeful as someone has suggested our signings haven't ended and we can rectify this. When was he at his best.

I think we have more balance in the squad right now (on paper at least) but time will tell I guess. Quite often it’s not about the quality of player but what each player gives to the team and the ethos - just look at Man Utd as a good example. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think people are underestimating how good a signing Vaulks is. And we’ve actually add a cf that’s scored over 20 goals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Joao's Tooth Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Did people watch last season with their eyes shut? Out wide is not a problem, Jack Hunt and Marvin Johnson are the 2 best fullbacks in this division. We certainly didn't lack creativity - We have Bannan and Byers pulling strings in the middle and Hunt/Johnson out wide with finally someone to aim for with crosses in Smith. The problem out wide was we had no competition or backup ( Signing James has fixed that at LWB and i think Palmer now is the back up RWB) GK - Stockdale & Dawson, 3rd choice will be either one of the young lads or a new squad filler. RWB - Jack Hunt & Palmer (Patterson can play RWB) CB - Ihiekwe Iorfa Famewo Heneghan (Palmer can slot in if needed) LWB Johnson, James and Brown CM - Vaulks Bannan FDB Byers Adeniran Alex Hunt (Patterson can slot in as well if needed) ST - Gregory Smith Paterson Windass Sow I'd say we are looking very strong and i think we are stronger than last year, a few more signings and i think we will be sorted, teams in this division would die for our squad depth currently. Possibly see another RWB in however we do have cover in Palmer and Patto at a push, i think we see another CB come in maybe a CM and the strikers if playing with a 2 we will need another and bin Sow off. For this stage of pre season i think our squad looks healthy a few more additions and i think it's been a tremendous summer with top recruitment. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teddy Nickelarse Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Very happy with recruitment so far. Strengthened key areas at CB and CF where we had weaknesses aetially that cost us last season. Expect 2 or 3 more to come in. Looking good IMO. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had plenty of movement and creativity last season and those players are still here, what we lacked was height and grit to see games out which seems has been addressed. I still think there’s another CH to come in, 1 or 2 creative wide players and possibly a pacy striker to offer further variety. It’s looking very positive.

We HAVE to get out this league asap then worry about signing championship players when we back there ! I’m sure moore would love to build a good young side that will evolve over a few yrs but the pressure from above and not least the fan base will not allow that to happen. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagarri Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 We’ll still probably bring in our max quota of loans, for (at least) the period up ‘til January…we may sign more too…I wouldn’t panic. Things are going well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@owlstalk Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 An interesting question to start with would be simply 'how fast are our new signings?' 1 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
