SUPERTOON Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 1 minute ago, HaydnNUFC said: Still be poor if we're having to resort to that at some point between now and the end of the season. Need to just hope we can stay injury free, assuming we don't get anyone in. Even then only having 4 gives us very little rotation option, performances are very likely to dip.

toontownman Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 8 minutes ago, The Butcher said: Absolutely mental decision if we don't get a midfielder in. Literally no one to promote from the u21/reserves either. Im surprised we didn't sign more in the summer or since to pad out the reserves. Has to be a focus from now until September, then going forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheInfiniteOdyssey Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Harsh like, but I’d be massively concerned if we were in a position where Anderson was starting any game in midfield for us the rest of the season. He doesn’t look ready yet for this level. I wouldn’t really count him as an option. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other two in that three were two of Hayden, Shelvey and Longstaff too, rather than Joelinton, Bruno, Willock and a more experienced Longstaff.

When I say weaker mind I mean purely in terms of numbers in certain areas, certainly not sad to see Wood or Shelvey depart. I think Gordon and even Ashby will increase the overall quality of the squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s no way we signed him to play in midfield, Howe said as much in his interview the other day (although he did say he could play as a #9 ) I’ll be shocked if he ever plays in a midfield 3 for us.
