Yeah, Freeman's decision making can be AWFUL at times, even though he has the ability. Someone will need to coach that out of him, if possible at his age.

Eze... he needs some really good coaching to mature into the player he has the potential to be. But I actually like BOS more than him and see more potential there, not just because he has a better attitude. We shall see!

Disagree. If I was Freeman playing with a load of ****ing carthorses I’d have been reluctant to lay the ball off sometimes too.

Welcome back Angel! He was good for us going forward, loved his 2 goals in one game, and when he took the Swansea youngster who's gone to ManU out of the game. But he cost us with some of his weak defending of players coming in inside him. Guess he'll be a good back up, and good to have about a young group.

I am concerned a bit about the lack of strikers and the input of the midfielders.
Our accounts sheet so far

GK Out: Ingrams In Kelly (Also Lumley and surprisingly Dieng). That looks perfect

Backs: Out Bidwell, Lynch, Baptiste In Wallace, Barbet, Masterson & Ball (two for the future) (Also Leistner, Hall, Furlong, Hamamalien, Kakay)...that is good)


Midfielders: Out Cousins, Cameron (? is he back) Luongo (?is he going ) In Amos, Smith (Also: Scowen, Manning, Goss)

Attack minded midfielders: Out Wszolech, Freeman, In: 0 (Also Eze, Chair, Smythe, Wheeler, BOS, Shodipo)

Forwards: Out Matt Smith, Hemed and Wells In 0 (also Oteh, Walker)

So we are looking (alledgedly)
Cameron ...I liked him a lot last season...but why when we have the two loanees (Smith and Amos), Scowen and Manning competing for that place
Rangel........I liked him too but why...we have starting backs (and back up backs too and Manning and I assumedDominic Ball was bought to be the utility back on the bench)
Scott Hogan ...... Yes I understand there is not an experienced forward in the club at all, the nearest we have is SLF. So I sort of understand this. But he is costy and has really only had one decent spell, but that was under Warburton.
Barry McKay..who is said to be a striker and a winger, but whose strike record makes Conor Washington look like a superstar

We are building from the back...which after last years dire performances is so understanadable...but we are going to be so so dependant on BOS, Chair and Eze next year..


I am concerned but hope that defense will easily keep us in the division, which obviously makes it easier to build from ...than depending on team spirit and Freeman to always drag us back from the precipice

Beth, a good analysis and post.

I personally am positively surprised by the speed of the signings/acquisitions.

As you mention, it seems that we are fine at the back-end of the team with regard to Goalkeepers, Defense and the Defensive Midfield. Here there is a good mix of youth and experience, plus strength in depth which is great. Most importantly, they seem to be better “ball players” should be well suited for the “Warburton” style of play.

I hope that we already have good youngsters for the Offensive Midfield position, even with positive competition for places, eg Eze-Chair for the No.10 shirt (position).

We clearly are down on strikers and need reinforcement. I expect this to happen in the next week(s). I expect a couple of acquisitions, hopefully released young talent to be developed as well as more experienced players on loan.

Overall I am not worried that we will not get these players, as the speed that we gone about our business is quite refreshing. But, as already articulated by Nines, this is a massive overhaul of our team and I hope that it will be start if if some sustained stability.

I admit that I don’t yet know what is the MW preferred formation and need to read up on this.

Any early guesses on our starting eleven in only 4 weeks?

Leicester city just paid 40million for a player, a few years ago when we were both pushing for promotion, i used to think we were fairly equal as clubs, just shows how hard relegation out of the premier league hit us

He never was a striker was he? Thought he was a winger. He made a god start for us in that position, hit the woodwork s few times, and his confidence went.

I seem to remember couple of his early games he did well in (Newcastle, and WBA i think) I think he had a vollied or bicycle kick) goal disallowed incorrectly and that was it!!
Two gd games, goal at the scum, not much of a return!!

Didn't Rob Hulse have a fairly decent record before signing for us? Long time ago now but I don't think many on here were that unhappy when we signed him.
