I partly blame today's defeat on Tuesdays team selection and formation. Had we gone into that game with our normal style a win could well have come from it, and we would have been in a much better position for today.
Do you honestly ****ing think we didn't try to get other players in ? That we didn't try to get another loan ? The players need to be available, need to want to come here and be affordable. If no players who want to come here are available, then what ****ing choice did we have ? Sign some gobshite grigg 2.0 ?
Surely we have to dip into the free market, Christ I would have gone for Conor Whickham at this stage if he hadn’t been snapped up already. We really are desperate. Other teams know this so will just double up on and bully our attacking players knowing fine well we have nothing else to offer.
It's down to the recruitment team to find better and get them signed, the last 2 strikers we actually signed in 2 years and not on loan were Thompson and Defoe, pretty poor whatever way you look at it.
Yeah I do. Same as before when speakman said he was happy with Dajaku as a striker alternative instead of siging one.
No mate that's not allowed. Doing that would mean we are spending the budget and ruining the model. But yeah, that's what we should have done. Just an option.
Very honest interview with Mark Robins. Never really liked him but fair play. Winged a bit about fouls on the centre forward but full of praise for our young team.
So you would be happy with connor wickham as was just mentioned??? The same wickham who was shocking for forest green???? We should just give up if thats the type of player we want to start signing again
Given we have no one at all who take the hits. I would have taken Chris Martin. 100%. Now we just have midjets flicking it about and opposition centre backs have the cigar out.
Instead of signing any old striker at a rip off price , not instead of signing a striker that we wanted or was affordable and available. But you've never liked speakman have you, so back to what your agenda really is about. So why bother quoting him accurately and with context
He has done really well to reshape the academy and recruitment in general. But being this rigid to the model will cost us about 10 league positions by season end.
And as speakman has said we had bids in for several players at the end of the window but the other teams didnt want to sell. So yes to.your point our recruitment did identify suitable players but the other team didnt want to sell
