Some good chat on here today. Enjoyed the read.
I was pondering myself which of our current players might step up this year. I think it is a big season for Alese. He has to prove he can maintain fitnes for me. If he can I think he can add options at the back. I prefer him central and could give us a real 3 centre back option. I hope Cirkin comes back strong as well. He is a premier league left back in my opinion. Then I remain so excited about Pembele still. Pace, talent, attacking threat. He could be anything. I think if those 3 kick on we could be a very different proposition.
In midfield I think we will see a very different Jobe. I agree with those saying he could be a 9, but I think he may play 1 more season in midfield yet. I think he could be a real old fashioned 8 and get in the box late and cause mayhem. I would bet his fitness level goes up a huge amount after this year. I just cant wait to see how Rigg develops next season. He will nail down a spot somewhere in that team. Then I have high hopes for Mundle to have a breakthrough season. He looks a player to me and I know the Spurs coaches loved him.
Up front? Well I just cant see any of ours making the difference. Sadly. Rusyn possibly as an impact player off the bench? He just doesnt look like a CF. Hemir has to up his effort for me, he seemed a bit lightweight. Again young lads can be overawed by the physicality of mens football so he has time.
I have not referenced some players who I hope prove me wrong, but who I think may prove not quite up to it. Triantis I just think is short of the level required. Hjlede scared me last year when he played to be honest. Ekwah frustrates the life out of me, talent in abundance, but application? Adil I like in patches, but I do think his decision making is frustrating at times. I pick on those because I think I might well be proven wrong, and I hope I am. But they have some points to prove in my opinion.
I still think we are short though. I would be looking for 2 CFs. I would want 1 more deep lying midfielder, ideally an experienced one in there. I would definitely buy another CB as well. I think we need to improve the backup keeper as well, I dont fancy seeing Patto out for 6 weeks at the minute.
Anyway, waiting to hear if my application for the head coach is goimg anywhere
. In all seriousness I would love the chance to coach some of our players. Rigg has me drooling at what he can be. Oh, and if I were coach, I would love work 1-1 with Roberts for a while. He has ridiculous ability and I dont think it takes much to get him on the right track. Adding a bit of simplicity to his decision making is all it takes for him I think.
