That's it in a nutshell, one can be both pleased with comfortable League 1 safety yet also disappointed with the striker recruitment failure in January that prevented RW from having a real go at the playoffs.Blackwall O wrote: ↑Sat Apr 20, 2024 5:18 pm On the beach for past month so no point in ratings
Apart from that I guess we should be very pleased with league position. Jut a niggle in back of mind as to what could have been
We've certainly missed El Miz in the middle . We've got to try and get him back somehow , either on loan or permanently .Blackwall O wrote: ↑Sat Apr 20, 2024 5:18 pm On the beach for past month so no point in ratings

It’s not that we’re on the beach and will be able to switch it back on at the start of next season. It’s that we miss El Miz.Blackwall O wrote: ↑Sat Apr 20, 2024 5:18 pm On the beach for past month so no point in ratings

I agree . Just look at the four going down to league two compared to the four coming up .It's going to be a crucial Summer to get our transfer business done correctly or we could be in trouble next season .gshaw wrote: ↑Sat Apr 20, 2024 5:43 pmThat's it in a nutshell, one can be both pleased with comfortable League 1 safety yet also disappointed with the striker recruitment failure in January that prevented RW from having a real go at the playoffs.Blackwall O wrote: ↑Sat Apr 20, 2024 5:18 pm On the beach for past month so no point in ratings

Decent first season back but a missed opportunity too. Much stronger league coming next season.
Beat me to it, was going to say "N/A, if they can't be bothered, why should we?"Blackwall O wrote: ↑Sat Apr 20, 2024 5:18 pm On the beach for past month so no point in ratings

Exactly , we need El-Miz back or somebody else as good as him .Hoover Attack wrote: ↑Sat Apr 20, 2024 6:38 pmIt’s not that we’re on the beach and will be able to switch it back on at the start of next season.

Brown, Obeiro and Galbraith all played ok today but they just aren’t at his level,
That's the danger for him, being too flexible and ending up shunted around without ever being able to make one role his own. Would like to see him basically take the place of Moncur next season and not have to cover RB or CM
Made two great saves yesterday, completely ignored by his critics. Has made many good saves throughout the season. I remember games earlier in the season where we've been under pressure late on, he has come for crosses and dominated. I accept he has been questionable in a few matches recently, but be is young and will improve. I may be in the minority, but I would be happy for him to be back next season. Be careful what you wish for, there are not many Vigarouxs out there.
I thought he has been ok this season and up until recent weeks would have been happy ish for him to come back. But I’m now of the mind we need better.Chelmsford Swimmer wrote: ↑Sun Apr 21, 2024 12:58 pmMade two great saves yesterday, completely ignored by his critics.

Doesn’t come for crosses. Poor distribution.Mistadobalina wrote: ↑Sun Apr 21, 2024 1:08 pm Agreed. He's been more than decent this season, aside from recent games where half the team has looked poor anyway. He is comfortable with the ball at feet and is pretty solid aside from the occasional brain fart. Can't think of a glaring weakness in his game.
Hopefully Middlesbrough agree and let him join us for a small fee.Hoover Attack wrote: ↑Sun Apr 21, 2024 2:19 pmDoesn’t come for crosses.

Can’t see him ever being Championship level.
His distribution isn't poor, its inconsistent. He's capable of picking a player out, there was one ball yesterday to O'Neil that was top class. His decision making will get better as he gets more experience.Hoover Attack wrote: ↑Sun Apr 21, 2024 2:19 pmDoesn’t come for crosses.

That's because we've had so many injuries he's had to cover . Hopefully next season we'll have better luck with injuries and Galbraith can stick to just one position
To be honest , Sol has been fine .He's a good shot stopper but lately his handling has been brought into question . Admittedly he's still young so will improve . It's up to the club if whether he comes back next season but I'm not fussed either way . Maybe we need a keeper on a permanent basis but that's up to Richie . I'll go along with whatever he decides .Chelmsford Swimmer wrote: ↑Sun Apr 21, 2024 12:58 pmMade two great saves yesterday, completely ignored by his critics.

Made two fairly routine saves you'd expect an L1 keeper to pull off. Dodgy handling and distribution. We can do much better.Chelmsford Swimmer wrote: ↑Sun Apr 21, 2024 12:58 pmMade two great saves yesterday, completely ignored by his critics. Has made many good saves throughout the season.

True . I also saw that goal and it was a real howler from the Blackburn keeper . All keepers make mistakes but I suppose the best ones make the least .
Getting a senior pro and not a youth learning the trade would be a start. We've been very lucky he wasn't subject to a recall in January, no need to add that kind of risk to the squad next season.
