Wilson out for 8 weeks. Confirmed by Howe. New Striker is required this week as a priority. Has to be an upgrade on Wilson, as good as he is. That is how progress is made.
8 weeks is a good result compared to what I was expecting. Definitely need a replacement of high quality though asap
We need cbs cms a lb and two strikers but I don't think it's possible to get them in fast enough. I'll have to see if the current side can beat Watford really, but if we don't we're looking at building for the championship soon. Will this side beat Leeds away?
We're not winning games without someone tyo put the ball in the net. We don't have any fit strikers left in the first team.
I have never heard of a chairman (Al-Rumyan) the board (Amanda and Mehrad) and the bodyguards entering the dressing room so soon after a defeat. I would say I think heads are going to roll but it will be taken out of context
Just an assumption, but I am assuming he is one of the ones with Covid. Apparently there are still several affected. For all the joking around last week, I don't think the club pulled a fast one. We are genuinely short of fit players. They won't appear on unavailable lists either as that would break confidentiality over Covid.
Been hearing it years now but cms help our both ends and our cms are useless. CM is the most important player on the pitch for me and I've been saying it since cabaye left.
I'm disagreeing after today mate. We had 60% possession, 23 shots, 9 on target, 12 corners and did **** all with it as nobody knew where the **** a striker should stand.
Possession was allowed today. Did we get in behind? Once Our cms are not good enough and if its not addressed you can put whoever you want either end of them
Max isn't a fwd he needs he pitch I front of him with players ahead of him. We need two proper cms and everything will improve overnight. We need strikers and a lb too Shelvey is going to survive
THat's what I was saying. So who would you play up front for the next game if Wilson and Gayle are unavailable?
I agree 100% our cm are ****, i won't argue that. What I will say was with the chances we created with nobody in the penalty area we will never score enough. Wilson and Gayle would have had a hatful today mate, time after time the ball was whisked over the 6 yard box line with nobody in sight.
It won't matter if jonjo is allowed to hide in fromt the back 4 floating balls around is what I'm saying. We need cms and a striker more urgently than cbs imo but that's just me
I don't agree I don't think we created anything meaningful. Murphy had a few that fell to him, but it was just old school get it down the wing and cross it **** really. League one love that they defend that crap every week but down there they have players that put them self about. We needed to let them come on to us today... This team had not been in a situation where the other team parks the bus before and didn't know what to do.. We need more than just a striker and in fact if we don't get a cm soon I think I'm going to give up soon. It's never ending... I've been saying we need two cms for almost a decade.
I wouldn't be allowed to float around in front of the back 4 either... Seriously shelvey is playing a role that shouldn't exist
