Broadhead is coming back, unless I’m misreading your post.

Maybe a slight change of plans
A slightly older and experienced striker and attacking midfielder
As opposed to the younger plans

Full Back
CM (or two)
Winger/CAM
Forward

Wouldn’t read too much in to that tbh. I bet every manager in the league is saying similar to the purse holders.

Welcome Rusty
Not sure we need wingers myself, but two CM with strength one being left side would be nice. To many side last season exposed that as Coventry did yesterday

Gooch will be difficult to drop and AN seems to prefer him playing wing back and has plenty of back up Winchester and Hume.

Are you saying he is coming back?

I think he will be a good addition as his finishing and speed will bag him a few even if he only come.on for last 20 minutes most weeks.
 
Tom Rogic would be a cracking signing, he’s a free agent, not sure what wages he would command but he would offer something different in the middle of the park.

I am not often Gooch's biggest fan, but imho he had a decent game yesterday and WB may be his best position. He has to keep that form up mind...

Why Thursday?

Agreed I thought he was good, stuggled to get on the ball in the 2nd half but so did everyone in our team.

We need 2 CMs for sure though, O'Nien is not a Championship player and I think Matete probably needs a loan move.

I'd like the following
In
Max Bird - CM - Sign
Ben Pearson - CM - Loan
Broadhead - Forward - Sign
Dujon Sterling - RB Loan (might be available to sign)
Hjelde - LB Loan
Chong - Forward Loan

Out
Matete - Loan
Winchester - Sell
Diamond - Sell
Dajaku - Loan
Huggins - Loan

Dont think we will get 6 in but here's hoping. I would maybe loan Hume out as well but I still think there is a cracking player in there

It was Onions weak challenge in the first place that led to the equaliser...If an offer came in for him , I can see him leaving.

thought they were poor if I’m honest. Gooch and Clarke were taking the piss out of their 2 wider centre backs first half we should’ve been giving them the ball all game to run at them. It’s refreshing not seeing us capitulate every time someone gets a corner or a set piece on the edge of the box though. We’ll be fine this season. Need an athletic CM in there though instead of Neil IMO.

they murdered the No2 first half who then went on the whole of the second to run the show for Coventry. He was spare man everytime they attacked, or set up the attacks. Don't take my word just look at the replays.

It’s just a professional foul. If you can’t catch someone and you’re going to bring them down then I’d rather someone pull my shirt than clatter my legs and risk an injury

Yeah, true. However, it's a tough one because if you catch someone on purpose, or by accident, in or outside the box, a foul/penalty is generally awarded.

Yet there's so many shirt pulls in the box from runs, or corners that go unpunished because the ref hasn't got ten pairs of eyes.

VAR would slow the game down so much if every single apeal was scrutinised from corners or runs into the box.

It seems that defenders from every team seem to be allowed to, to an extent, to hold, nip, shirt pull, or to push/obstruct in every single box set piece these days.

Yes it's a contact sport, but in most games, it's become a lottery for the officials to police tbf....it's insane at times man.

Great takling points though mind...

Stewart was fouled everytime he when up for the ball , two arms into his neck or his back. the oppo not even trying to win the ball. Ref gives nothing
Click to expand...

I thought he was being fouled at an acceptably mild level and was going down too easily. There was maybe once or twice he should have got one that he didn't. Our lads were trying to rip shirts off backs and being too blatant with the other fouls.

Agree. He's the best option at that position at the minute. The two things he used to do all the time.....needless fouling and trying to beat his man 3 times before delivering a cross or a pass....seem to have been minimised under AN.
