Behind Enemy Lines
Well-known member
MM has said he hopes to bring in at least 2 new faces in transfer window. I think we need at least 3 new players; a goalie ( Henderson?), a left-back and a striker who can score goals. On official site now.
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
Good news - at least 2 new faces in transfer window?
- Thread starter Behind Enemy Lines
- Start date
He hopes and he does are two different things

We've got enough strikers thank you.
We just need people who can pass properly to the strikers instead of belting the ball upfield and asking them to 'go fetch'.

Agree about the midfielders, still not convinced the strikers we have are good enough though.
I think a left back is now a must, although it has been since when harding left.

I assume you mean leon
and kazim, thought kazim looked bright yesterday. Jake and McPhee tried hard but still waiting for jake to get that goal then i think that'll give him some much needed confidence.bhaexpress

Kinky, despite that fact that I quite wrongly swore at you I have to agree with what you say.

Just what i thought! I agree to a certain extent although neithers goalscoring records are prolific in this league. CKR definatly has something about him that makes me think he will score goals given a chance though. Leon and CKR up front saturday?...doubt it very much!

Never impressed with Harding, even in midfield, and even considering his attitude with wanting to get away fast.
Reid has been a SERIOUS disappointment at full-back this season, after doing pretty well last season. But with Dodd (injured foot), Mayo (injured pride), and Reid all capable of occupying that spot and not - for varying reasons - being able to do a job, do we need ANOTHER bloody full-back? It would make Dodd and Mayo surplus to requirements.
Mayo actually does play his best games when he is tackling or battering players. Put hiim up against a half-decent winger though, and he is f***ed. Unless he puts him into Row S in the first five minutes.

No we need a left back. Reid has not been a disappointment when hes played right back, only left back. He finds it hard to distribute the ball and to be honest i think id rather have kerry at left back and reid at right back. Poor guy is giving his best but playing someone who came to us a right sided or central creative midfielder at left back isnt going to work.

Harding is a dam sight better full back than Hart who is woeful there, RFeid has been poor this year because he is not a left back.

Basically agree apart from the 'Reid playing at right back is OK' bit. Left or right-back, his distribution has been - and I use the words advisedly - utter shit.sir danny cullip said:

Yes. We need a left back as Reid has been poor though, and it will allow us to switch him back to right back where he impressed (Harty is clearly not a defender I'm afraid).The Large One said:

A bit unfair to say he is 'woeful' but, yes, we need a proper full-back there. I am just not convinced Reid's form is good enough - at left or right back.KinkyGoebels said:

I disagree about reid not being good at right back but i think when Hinshlewood comes back it will be interesting to see if MM plays hinshlewood/el abd/reid at right back. Surely he wouldnt persist with harty there...

The sad truth is Hart is a one of the fans Favorite and does get the rose tinted specs from some.
Example would be his part in the Ipswich goal, nothing was mention of how badly out of postion he was.

These are the people - even if it is not their best position - who can or could play as full-backs...
Right backs:
Reid
Hart
Dodd
El-Abd
Nicolas
Left backs:
Mayo
Dodd
Reid
Frutos (at a push)
Agreed, the left-back situation looks thin, but a decent midfielder who can get stuck in AND who knows how to pass it to the forwards is far more urgent, I would say.
