I can't believe I've done that. I've liked one of your posts. Either you need to go for a lie down, or I do
Both crocks and never fit, Browne is a big upgrade on Evans, liked Evans but he only really had one good run of form and fitness in his time here. Moore is also more experienced than Bishop who moved out and the signing of Rigg is also a big swing in direction, few years ago he would be gone for as much as we could sell him for. I would say thats the start of a change of approach.
Was just coming on to post this haha just seen he went back there, probably needs a successful loan to drum his fee up for them to sell him next year
Yeah agree with this. Browne is certainly an upgrade on what we had but it's no different to Speakman signing Batth/Pritch/Evans while in League One, excellent players for the level on a free. It's just good business. I hope we do still sign a few younger players just hopefully more logic behind the signings than a few of the ones over the last few seasons.
Tbh with the word getting out that we were gonna be focusing on experience this summer, I don't think browne is a case of just signing someone on a free to do a job like evans, and batth etc. This lad is quality and had a few suitors. Also, he slots straight into the starting XI
As it stands I think we’ve now got a decent 11 if Jobe plays CF. A flexible 433. Patterson Hume. Ballard. O’Nien. Cirkin Neil. Browne. Ekwah Roberts. Jobe. Clarke Room to improve but not an awful basis to start with.
As did they, them 3 weren't exactly just brought in to do a job either they were excellent signings, as is Browne. This isn't new.
It is but their ceiling is much higher than that with good coaching. It’s not far off a very good side. A centre forward, someone more productive than Roberts and perhaps a really good centre half would make a big difference.
It’s also pretty much the same team that finished 6th. Beale tactics and Dodds tactics will do that to a good squad. Morale is a big thing
Ekwah has a lot to make up for from last season and he certainly wouldn't be a guaranteed starter for me. You could say the same for Roberts. I'd be disappointed if we start the season with Jobe up front and O9 as 1st choice CB
