Andrew_Owl Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Just me who thinks we still need a couple more centre backs in, got a good calibre of player there but a few injuries and we'll have to put Paterson Palmer or Johnson there. Are we still looking at Bringing Harlee Dean back? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOOTIE AND THE SHIT TU Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Nope, I've been saying it since the beginning of last season We let 6 centre half's go at the end of last season We've brought 3 in It's another catastrophe waiting to happen Unless you don't mind seeing a back 3 of Palmer, Patterson and Johnson again 2 1 Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife.

Guest Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Heneghan Ihiekwe Iorfa Famewo Palmer and Galvin to cover 2 more ? Don’t see the need, you would probably take 1 more if it’s a Harlee Dean type but anymore than that and your gonna struggle to keep all them players happy, not really sure how he’s gonna do it with all the options in central midfield if am honest but you will still get people saying we need another CDM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beighton Owl 87 Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 With Iorfa, Heneghan, Ihiekwe, Famewo and Palmer for those positions I'd say we only need one more. If we can get Dean back and bring in Wilks and Roofe to bolster the attack then I'll be expecting to win the league with that squad. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heneghan looks to be quite comfortable on the ball, but I think the jury is out on a few of the others. One of the big, big plusses with Hutch was how comfortable he was on the ball.

Jack of Clubs Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 We still definitely need one and then if we can scrounge a second in on loan then all good. I’d rather have players to call upon than not. Palmer should be served best as a back up RWB and Galvin in still a LB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Bassett Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 I think our defence is poorer than the team that finished last season, releasing Hutch is a big mistake for me. But we still have a minimum of 4 loans we can make and have them in the same matchday squad so CBx2, RWB and Striker/RW dependant on who we sign permanently is still possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogers Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 We have 2 out & out strikers, it was goal scoring that was the issue last year. Why waste a limited budget on a 6th centre back? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomtheOwl95 Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 We do need at least one more. Injuries have to be taken into account and sadly for Iorfa he's got that moniker (fairly or not) on him now at least until he can put a good run of games together. Heneghan, Famewo and Ihiekwe all look good additions. The understanding between them all only comes with time, sadly that's just how it is. I'm confidant they'll gel though, I don't have an issue with Palmer as a back up if needed but we don't want to be in the situation of needing to play square pegs in round holes for a good chunk of the season which is what we had to do last year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
