Guest Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 3 hours ago, The Prophet said: I think we're alright at CB. Lascalles, Schar, Fernandez, Clark and Dummer is solid enough until the summer. Id say full back and centre mid are a priority. We could do with a striker too, so we can manage Wilson's minutes to prevent him breaking down as much. Hmm, if we’re playing Fonsecaball would that be good enough to roll it out? I could see Smalling. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holloway Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 quite excited at the prospect of him signing up, imagine more than 35% possession at home games Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happinesstan Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 The issue with Fonseca appears to be that his system struggles to defend, but I assume he picks players to suit that system, including more adventurous defenders than we currently have. It might work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ritchie Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 The defending keeps getting brought up as an issue, we've got no defence anyway so why does it matter? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying we shouldn’t go after a forward but we atleast have Wilson in that position even if he is injury prone. Got to disagree. You can mitigate a poor full back, strengthen his side of midfield when defending, 3 centre halves etc.....we don't have a Centre midfielders worthy of the name and its probably the most crucial position on the park and we are two short Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a quality left footed CB would be better. Somebody that can cover for Lewis, [with Almiron doing his usual energetic tracking back] If they can pass as well that's a bonus.

We still took a few batterings when he came in to help us stay up even after Kilcline. If Fonseca does the same then kicks us on second season like Keegan did then fantastic.

Guest Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Get him in man. Nice bonus for keeping us up, option either side to walk away in May if he fails to keep us up, reduced contract if he fancied staying in The Championship but topped up again on promotion.
