Re: Two more signings.....
We have Dan Agyei, Charlie Kelman And Sonny Perkins up front but if we can get him I would like to see Dom Ballard on loan from Southampton, he's different from the other three, and he's very quick. He ripped us a new one at home last season.

Kelman can't do the job adequately, either.

Re: Two more signings.....
I’d like to see him given a run at the start of the season (but can’t see it) with an understanding that he’s going to make mistakes and have a few ropey games but knowing he isn’t going to get benched instantly like has happened in the past. His problems all stem from decision making in defence I.e. rushing in and not getting the ball. Attacking wise he gives us more than any other defender.Hoover Attack wrote: ↑Wed Jul 17, 2024 8:56 amTJ has proved himself more than capable of playing L1 football.

I’ve only seen 45 minutes on the stream but Perkins ain’t anywhere near ready to lead the line.
I have way more faith in James and Sweeney than I do in Kelman.
I wouldn't have any concerns if both started in our first game.

Re: Two more signings.....
I'm not sure what Wellens thinks. Maybe the two up front as someone has claimed was used last night is the way forward?

With just CK up front, teams will now they can high press us at goal kicks to stop us playing out, forcing us to kick it long and literally hand over possession to them.

Re: Two more signings.....
He is at Southampton in the under 21s played for them at the weekend so how is he championship bound? as you know he was at Reading last season and they are likely to send him out to a L1 club again this season after his injury, You really have a chip on your shoulder Monkey Boy you need to chill out a bit.Monkey Boy wrote: ↑Wed Jul 17, 2024 11:00 amWhat you talking about,there’s no chance because he’s Championship bound ??

Re: Two more signings.....
If Agyei gets injured again we’re fcuked . We can’t start the season with only Agyei, Kelman and Perkins as our strike force because that’s not strong enough. We definitely need another striker.

Compared to...
Agyei, Kelman, Perkins, Jaiyesimi, Graham, O'Neill, (Archibald Injured.)
Definitely needs another player upfront for depth

This is exactly my point.

Re: Two more signings.....
Agyei isnt a physical presence, he's an athletic presence. Need to be a bit more nuanced with older fans, they won't understand
