Great point, haven't we sold 2 promising plahers to man city and 1 x to man utd in recent years. I know we also sold to Everton as well a few years ago. If All of those lads had stayed rather than their family seeing the ££££ signs then one or two might have made the first team.
No concerns with 4 at the back (until we start leaking goals again) but feel we lack something with 1 up front and while this looks fine on paper, I personally would keep Torp on the bench and play with 2 forwards.
Robins had some tactical limitations but it seems your trying to join dots without consideration of the wider circumstances that were going on within the club at the end of last season..
How many teams lose in a huge career defining game in front of millions round the world and then get up for...
Doyle
Hughes
Grimmer
Shipley
Eccles
Wilson
That said never questioned the commitment of anyone on the list. Also as a club we progressed fast through the leagues and that exposed one or two to scrutiny that they would not have got had we remained in league 1 etc.
Can anyone who is in CV6 more than myself advise.
1. Are they actively actually doing the road repairs? I am in CV6 weekly and it seems progress is non existent.
2. How long do the Council anticipate there will be on going issues for?
3. Why has no one come up with a better plan than...
I would start both. We need to control the ball in games like tonight and while others are more creative, solidity and not lettjng them doninate the ball was/should have been the option.
We are overly obsessed with a 433. We played that formation most of the season and were conceding two goals a game. 5 at the back with progressive CBs is the way and two up top. We retain the ball in advance positions and it's making us harder to beat.
Eccles 7m, if we can get anywhere near that figure from Stoke etc. We should sell and allow him to continue his progress in a first 11. Genuinely a nice lad but has Allen, Torp, Sheaf, Rudoni and Grimes (potentially) all ahead of him.
