Midfielder and Striker Incoming

[Red_Army]

Andy Harris was pretty poor at right-back. Before he got moved into central midfield and then opinions changed.

Perhaps the same thinking with Ling this year? Where did he play when Judd came on?
Although I don't really see him as a similar player to Harris.

Ling moved to central midfield when Myles Judd came on.

Is that what happened? Seemed to me they were swapping roles at times, not too sure what they should be doing or where. Sort of making it up as they went along. Summed up the whole game for me. Probably Ok for minutes and fitness but not too sure any further forward about tactics and formation. Though corners to the far post was tried a lot.

What on earth are you talking about?

[Rich Tea Wellin]

actually thinking back, we've never really had any great right backs in the last 20-30 years, have we?

Even in 2006 when we went up Tan and Miller weren't exactly spectacular. In 2013/14 Scott Cuthbert basically covered the whole year, good player but a centre back. Last season it was probably our weakest position overall...

Best one was probably Matt Joseph...

Andrew Whing did a good job for us in the 2010 season where we had the FA Cup run. Scored the best goal I've seen an RB hit too. Matt Joseph gets my all-time favourite vote though.

One of my favourite all time goals, that.

He was steady, wouldn’t say he was outstanding. Did a job though, for sure.

Yeah I know, crazy eh

I loved how laissez faire it was, he just picked the ball up, kept running and without breaking stride whacked it true into the top corner. Boom

Think even Whing himself was surprised judging by his facial expression at the time!

[Lucky7]

Fantastic strike quite similar to the hit by 1 Moses Odabajo on his debut

[Eat The Rich]

No one was doing cartwheels when we signed Whing but he was exactly what was needed at that time. Joseph, I think would be everyone's number one pick for best right back but I always thought Cuthbert was excellent there. He was a tad too passive centrally but at right back he could make use of his good passing to really support play whilst being extremely solid in defence to allow the player in front of him to dazzle. Obviously some dazzled more than others, *cough* Jimmy Smith *cough*.

Yup he was a solid, no-nonsense player and you need those in a side. Turley being the 2018-19 equivalent and no surprise he did a similarly effective job.

[F*ck The Poor & Fat]

Turley has to be a contender. Though he has yet to play a game In preseason

[Disoriented]

Turley was a pleasant surprise last season and will be important to us this one too.

Signing Shaq Coulthirst will show how much ambition our club has got !!!

Matt Joseph was just awesome.In my opinion one of the most underrated players I’ve seen down the O’s.He was class

Absolute rubbish

[Buddy Manucci]

Doubt he is good enough for league football.

[Buddy Manucci]

Rotherham fans reckon they are in talks to sign Ekpiteta.

? He has played in the EFL before why wouldn’t he be good enough?

[Redcard]

Coulthirst would do for me.

[RedDwarf 1881]

I hope this isn't true . We've sold enough of our best players already . IMO, its crucial we keep our current defence together for at least one season back in the EFL.

[Disoriented]

No chance. Marv will not go.

With a minimal goal ratio, and hardly set the world on fire in non league. Would be an improvement on Alabi for sure, but wouldnt want to pay a fee for him.

Is he available on a free?

His goal ratio is on the same par as Koroma for last season 1 in every 3 is that really bad? so not sure why we wouldn’t pay a fee as he’s still under contract

[AckneyAwks]

Did you not see Phil Hoadley score a fantastic goal against Chelsea in the FA Cup.

[AckneyAwks]

Sorry wrong thread

[F*ck The Poor & Fat]

With two forwards as starters whoever comes in will be somebody prepared to be the third striker. Unlikely fees will be involved.

Yep - I go with you on Whing - very decent.
