Benwell Lad Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Refreshing. Honest and articulate. Class Well put. Not heard anyone in football who comes across better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Another 2-3 players then, maybe. My guess would be a winger, striker and a LB. In that order. He's right about it being the hardest finding strikers. If we get two more in i'm more than happy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufc4eva Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 I think we are done at the back with Clark, Anita, Dummet, Gamez, Sterry and Haidara able to play or cover there I reckon Striker, Winger and maybe a centre mid. Tbh striker and winger and we have a very strong squad. A team of Sels Janmaat Mbemba Lascelles Dummet Colback Hayden Ritchie Diame Aarons Gayle Has power and pace about it. Obviously ginger jack wouldn't be my choice but is likely to play. Maybe Diame alongside Hayden with Perez in front or Shelvey in there and Anita covering right mid where needed. Perez or Gayle could slot out wide with Mitro centre as well. Another big centre forward could be good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altamullan Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Not including the one on the pitch, we've normally about seven 'left back' in the changing room... ( I can only apologise...). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 How many left footed attacking LB's do we have? Every single play (almost) started on our right hand side last season which made it too easy for the opposition to press and nullify us. I like Dummett defensively but he just can't handle a football. We are gonna push teams back more now compared to last season and having that extra attacking option through a LB in the last third will enable us to get another player in the box. One with end product providing width as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbnufc Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 This is Haidara's season. He'll be in the Championship team of the year Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Aye the quality is not great there, although i do think what we do have will be enough to get promoted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Yeah we "should" be ok anyway that's why it's not the end of the world if we don't sign one. I'm ok with waiting until january or when/if we go up. But i really want one Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbnufc Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 This is Haidara's season. He'll be in the Championship team of the year Forgot he even played for us He's no Bigirimana Also people keep forgetting about Mbabu for LB Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Anita, Gamez, Dummett, Haidara, Mbabu and Clark. We will be fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Hope Lascelles gets the #5, want our main man (and hopefully captain) to have a proper CB's #. Perez to get the #10 from Siem. Ritchie to get the #11 from Gouff? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The players we have in front of full backs should make the difference attacking Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Winger is priority IMO. I think that is what Rafa was talking about, when he said "balance". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The players we have in front of full backs should make the difference attacking It's about the fact Dummett can hardly control a football tbh Not so bothered about attacking part personally, but having a solid LB who is comfortable on the ball would be great IMO. But like i said i do think what we have is enough to get through the division. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LionOfGosforth Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Yeah we "should" be ok anyway that's why it's not the end of the world if we don't sign one. I'm ok with waiting until january or when/if we go up. But i really want one Nowt wrong with having or aspiring to have a quality specialist LB. We may have several options but they're mostly a bit s*** like. More pressing is a winger and another forward proven to get goals at this level. A central player who can create would be nice but we do have plenty in the middle and maybe it's more about finding the right blend of players in there rather than needing another. We get those 2 (winger and forward) in we can look forward to a good season. Edit to add - forgot about Mbabu completely, I like him and think he might have what it takes.

Ikon Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Fair enough lads. I agree with you to some extent. I will shut up about a LB now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
