With Cirkins injury record it’s less likely to be that kind of role. I think O9 can cover the right adequately and Hume doesn’t miss many. I’m much less confident on the other flank and in light of the injuries we have it leaves us much weaker. All of Le Bris game is about changing direction and the players who get behind are in the physio room so that overlap matters on at least one side of the field. I think Alese’s injury added to to the rest/ the likelihood of more, leaves us weak.
Not sure I see him as a striker for us tbh, struggles with his back to goal I don't think we will sign him, I think our versatile forward must be able to play RM Our LM civer is good Mundle Watson Adil Aleksic (looked good against Portsmouth in the wider role) The other side we have 2 natural players, Roberts and Mayenda (loosely classed as a natural winger)
I think Villa want a level of commitment on game time, as much as any club can give it. I suspect for that reason he will go to a mid table championship team. May well be a midlands based one too, based in the talk down this part of the world.
I’m not convinced we see mundle all that much this season. Sounds like the club want to be extremely careful with him. Hamstring injuries are notorious to go again
I did mine. Followed correct recovery and physio, went back and played football after it was agreed I was fine and pulled my hamstring again first session back
we don't have a Ross stewart here now that is a fact, Isidor 'might' get 15 goals other players might. Burnley sign a proven striker back from Norwich and Sheff U could sign Brereton, of course had we kept Clarke we would be top now, is this striker issue always going to be brought up ? and defending better would help.
Wilson’s also scored more this season that Barnes has in the last season and a half but I probably shouldn’t rise to the bait
Ross Stewart will never be the same footballer again. Ashley Barnes hasn't scored double figure goals in a season since 18/19 (only done it 4 times in his career) If Clarke had stayed we wouldn’t have Mepham, Le Fee, Mundle would be stuck on the bench and Watson would be in the u21s We don't necessarily need a striker, Isidor and Mayenda are perfectly fine, but we need and want a different profile of player to help us break down teams. We have a top 6 defence in pretty much every defensive metric.
Connolly gone Lowe recalled to Stoke surely the stars aren’t aligning again? You’d assume we wouldn’t let him leave til we had one
