1 goal in 6 and no attackers signedBeradogs wrote: ↑Sat Jan 21, 2023 4:53 pm We have bought in two centre backs and a central midfield player.

The loss is nothing to do with our forwards and all to do with missing 3 out of 4 first choice defenders.
We’ve signed a kid on loan who has never played league football before and some bloke who hasn’t played professional football for a year.Beradogs wrote: ↑Sat Jan 21, 2023 4:53 pm We have bought in two centre backs and a central midfield player.

Why blame 3 new players for 1 game by 1 & 2 games by another . RW overthought it simple as that .Frogger wrote: ↑Sat Jan 21, 2023 5:02 pm That was just embarrassing. To be honest this performance was well over due. We have a lack of depth in the squad and it was clearer than ever today. We need decent defenders and a decent midfielder. The players brought in so far have been very underwhelming. A sun from Brighton, a reject from Rotherham and a player who has not had a club since last season.
I agree, it’s bloomin frustrating, I am just making the point that if we had no injuries or suspensions (like Stevenage) we wouldn’t have had to bring in new defenders(and play them today) + we would have had the money to sign a quality forward and probably moved a lot quicker to get that position filled. Again, it’s injures and suspensions that knock into everything, our ability to put out a good side and our desperation in the transfer mkt.none of those problems Stevenage have. I agree, todays line up was bizarre however, brown should have started right back and Tommo in the middle.gshaw wrote: ↑Sat Jan 21, 2023 5:03 pm1 goal in 6 and no attackers signedBeradogs wrote: ↑Sat Jan 21, 2023 4:53 pm We have bought in two centre backs and a central midfield player.

Wellens asking for players and not getting them on time
Nothing to do with recruitment though eh
I agree the shape didn’t work today. I am also concerned our replacement cb’s are not tall enough but time will tell.tuffers#1 wrote: ↑Sat Jan 21, 2023 4:57 pm Wellens fault setting up a " Big defensive unit " moving Smyth to play the moncur roll & putting Idris somewhere he can't play , Brown totally out of the game & 2 little short quick blokes up top who had nowhere to run !

As Richie said you're going to get injuries and suspensions, it's what happens in a season and especially around December / January time.Beradogs wrote: ↑Sat Jan 21, 2023 5:08 pmI agree, it’s bloomin frustrating, I am just making the point that if we had no injuries or suspensions (like Stevenage) we wouldn’t have had to bring in new defenders(and play them today) + we would have had the money to sign a quality forward and probably moved a lot quicker to get that position filled.

At least James and Beckles will be back next week and Moncur and Archibald have to start .Beradogs wrote: ↑Sat Jan 21, 2023 4:53 pm We have bought in two centre backs and a central midfield player.

weve strgthened 3 in since last ffriday didnt do us any good . Tinkering with midfield shape & not nullyfying opponents is what is costing us !gshaw wrote: ↑Sat Jan 21, 2023 5:13 pmAs Richie said you're going to get injuries and suspensions, it's what happens in a season and especially around December / January time.Beradogs wrote: ↑Sat Jan 21, 2023 5:08 pmI agree, it’s bloomin frustrating, I am just making the point that if we had no injuries or suspensions (like Stevenage) we wouldn’t have had to bring in new defenders(and play them today) + we would have had the money to sign a quality forward and probably moved a lot quicker to get that position filled.

That's why you strengthen in January to see you through to end of the season. Leaving it until last week of Jan to bolster the attacking options when we were crying out for fresh legs there is just crazy.
