Re: YEAH BUT WE JUST NEED A WINGER & A STRIKER
Needs a large scale squad rebuild as the L2 players haven't stepped up and relied on too many loan youths without any experience of the level.
Realistically need about 5 or 6 in the window and as many going out the door but with our recruitment committee working at the usual snail pace can't see it happening

Re: YEAH BUT WE JUST NEED A WINGER & A STRIKER
Who are you referring to? Can't pick one solid, experienced L1 player in that squad outside of 39 year old Pratley and Graham.
Moncur has been shocking and Pigott is looking like the 2020's version of Michael Symes

We need experience.

Re: YEAH BUT WE JUST NEED A WINGER & A STRIKER
Those 3 were all deemed not good enough for L1 hence wouldn't count them. Moncur yes has been a huge disappointment.Joe315 wrote: ↑Sat Dec 23, 2023 4:23 pmTheo from L1 Lincoln

Re: YEAH BUT WE JUST NEED A WINGER & A STRIKER
The clubs who released them to us in the first place. Much like Drinan, released by L1 Ipswich to L2 Orient. Now we need to repeat the process.

You expect us to sign 18 players in the space of about 6 months? When does this ever happen?gshaw wrote: ↑Sat Dec 23, 2023 3:45 pm Needs a large scale squad rebuild as the L2 players haven't stepped up and relied on too many loan youths without any experience of the level.

Re: YEAH BUT WE JUST NEED A WINGER & A STRIKER
Doesn't matter, point is L2 standard players need to be moved on and that needs to start big time in January. Squad isn't good enough for this level, too many passengers including ones they have contracts to over summer.
Want to stay in L1 and move upwards? That what needs doing. Given the number of loan players too those will need swapping out too come end of the season. Can count on fingers of one hand those who look comfortable at this level.Mistadobalina wrote: ↑Sat Dec 23, 2023 5:41 pm You expect us to sign 18 players in the space of about 6 months?

Re: YEAH BUT WE JUST NEED A WINGER & A STRIKER
I actually think that if we sign a winger and a striker, it will keep us up this season, and that's the main aim, but, the two players MUST be quality.... No cheapies, from league 2 clubs, if they are really decent players, they'll keep us up.
I realise they won't come cheap, but if you want to own a football club in 2023, then you have to be very rich, and our directors are.
In the summer we can add to the squad, and gradually get better, but for now it's about still being in this league after the final game

Kroenke or The sultans & Sheikhs or the Fenway
group , they are practically paupers.

Re: YEAH BUT WE JUST NEED A WINGER & A STRIKER
We need 2-3 players to stay up. You can then do a bigger rebuild job in the summer. Replacing an entire squad when it'd just win the league would have tanked morale, meant no-one would've been up to speed with how we played and wouldn't have even been feasible with the contracts in place.gshaw wrote: ↑Sat Dec 23, 2023 5:47 pmDoesn't matter, point is L2 standard players need to be moved on and that needs to start big time in January.

It isn't football manager, you need to have an element of realism about how much turnover is feasible.
