BW: "I'm so excited following my excellent pre-season, hopefully we can form an awesome partnership"
LD: thinking to himself, 'Should I tell him Adam Webster is sat in the Directors lounge and about to sign'
Hardly any premier league clubs play with 2 wingers on the pitch and it has been moving in that direction for about a decade maybe more.
If you refer to the league table and look through the sides only 1 team in the top 10 play with wingers
There are a few decent footballing sides in the Championship who could be suitable options. Brentford play some great attacking football, Swansea can pass, QPR have the right ideas but need strengthening at the back. I'm hoping we can get 11 players out on loan to Championship clubs
A striker who can shoot, hold up the ball, score from a header and has pace.
Ignoring the top 6 clubs there are not many players that would improve our squad and I believe we would be competitive with most sides even with our current squad.
Striker then a LB if required. If we find a useful...
He always looks amazing when coming off the bench, this could be due to his intelligence and identifying weaknesses in the opposition set up or his frustration at not starting so he puts in a shift. I have high hopes of him for the next season
The problem with 22 year olds playing in the U23's is they require a spot in the 25 to be included in the squad and it would take an exceptional talent to be given an opportunity at the expense of an experienced player. However an exceptional talent would probably have been given the chance...
If the premier league requires clubs to name a 25 man squad of over 21's then the only sensible arrangement is to have an U21's league to run alongside.
Requirements are that all players are U21 or returning from a substantial injury (following an op or out for at least 6 weeks) the only other...
Everyone except the top 7 has missed at least 1 of the last 10 years in the premier league. To gain promotion and stay for 10 straight years is a completely unrealistic expectation. That is an average of 4 years outside of the premier league for the other 13 teams, it will be a difficult decade...
World football is going mad as every club becomes desperate for centrebacks who are comfortable with playing out from the back. Brighton have moved into a new venture where they sign as many of these players as possible inadvertently pushing up the price of such defenders on a global scale in...
I've always been a huge believer that it should be a CB, but essential qualities are disciplined, high work rate and regular starter. Ryan has been the most vocal in post lockdown football followed by Webster. I think Potter may consider Maupay for the vacancy
Under CH our midfield was drilled to work certain positions and subsequently the sort of balls into our box were often in the air and suited Dunk & Duffy with their heading ability. What has suprised me by Potter is his persistence with a passing game even against the top sides when playing 2...
There are 4 or 5 different construction teams who are very similar in ability, some work better at different tracks. Silverstone is a high percentage of top speed so Maclaren may have a good day
