Wright doing a lot of heavy lifting in that good as any in the league strikeforce there.
Wright doing a lot of heavy lifting in that good as any in the league strikeforce there.Some of it depends on our current players also. I mean a strike force of Bassette Wright simms and BTA is as good as any in this league really. If simms and BTA can step up and keep fit. Do we even need another striker?
If we can flip couple of them - we will I think.Some of it depends on our current players also. I mean a strike force of Bassette Wright simms and BTA is as good as any in this league really. If simms and BTA can step up and keep fit. Do we even need another striker?

It is the position we are most desperate for. We leaked goals all over the place not just left back. You can have one of Kitching or Thomas but not both. We need someone better to dominate the defence. Stupid goals (like the Stoke second to name but one) need to be cut out.Doyle will be going abroad. Tbh, we’ve got Kitching who will only improve and should imagine we are stuck with Binks. Wouldn’t make much sense to spend the amount being reported on a position we are not desperate for.

What do you think it needs?
Leadership and game reading ability.
Grimes dropping deep is clearly tactical, and even with better distribution from centre halves cant imagine it would changeI would also add Pace and distribution to that list …. It’s why Grimes comes so deep because we can’t trust the back 2 to play out from the back and it’s why Milan is less attacking than he was as we need his recovery pace to cover Thomas and Kitchin.

I feel like people still talk of Kitching as a youngster. He turns 26 not long after the season starts.
Agree on a centre half, but yes not for that money.
we still need a right back, right wing, left back? and a GK on loan at least.
A bit like some pundits referring to Lampard as a young manager he's 47.I feel like people still talk of Kitching as a youngster. He turns 26 not long after the season starts.
It’s in part tactical but as we saw at the end of the season teams worked out if they blocked Grimes and left the ball with Thomas or Kitch they would get it back quite quicklyGrimes dropping deep is clearly tactical, and even with better distribution from centre halves cant imagine it would change
If we are serious about going for promotion this year then we are surely signing a new #1.First two are backups and we’ve got three left backs! Keeper maybe but sounding like Dovin isn’t a million miles away I wouldn’t be surprised if we left it and made do.
Still think a loan is the smart thing to do. We can't get everything ready for the season then start dropping early points all over the place because our backup keepers love to chuck one in.First two are backups and we’ve got three left backs! Keeper maybe but sounding like Dovin isn’t a million miles away I wouldn’t be surprised if we left it and made do.
Kitching has all the game awareness of a newborn puppy
Spot on with regards to distribution. I think Bobby is a great old fashioned CB, but his distribution lets him down at timesI would also add Pace and distribution to that list …. It’s why Grimes comes so deep because we can’t trust the back 2 to play out from the back and it’s why Milan is less attacking than he was as we need his recovery pace to cover Thomas and Kitchin.
He'll stick with Thomas and look to upgrade Kitching imo. Kitching isn't bad btw, at all. Walks into a lot of other teams in this league but if we want to kick on again it'll be something we look at.we need better CBs if we’re serious this season

With all due respect this is nonsense.
We are significantly better with Kitching in the team than without.With equal respect I don’t think it is. I know you’re going to tell me Kitching and Thomas are the greatest CB pairing outside the PL, I’m just going to believe my lying eyes and say they lose their man too often, are slow to notice danger and often make poor choices considering the game state.

I think Kitching is better than Thomas at defending personally. Thomas is better in the oppositions box which is why some have rose tinted specs around him.Kitching is fine for this level but people do vastly overrate him. He's slow, regularly overcommits himself, and isn't brilliant at tracking opposition.
We need someone far more assured starting if we're going to stop conceding silly goals as a collective back line.

If anything that points to Thomas being the weak link.
He's a good player and i wouldn't be that bothered if we went in with Thomas and Kitching, but i do get the feeling we'll look at that LCB spot. Think its simplistic to look at defensive calamities and point at them 2 but there was a lot going on last season from messing around with the CBs (Binks and Lati... don't get me started) to the messing around with keepers and of course the injury to Dovin once he was finally settled. Our LBs didn't help much, Dasilva picked up a bit but overall him and Bidwell were both poor.Eccles yesterday , Kitching today , who's getting drivel posted about them tomorrow?
Simple facts are that in the last two seasons our defence has performed better with Kitching in it than when he wasn't
He's 1 year younger, hardly a 20 year old and a 30 year old hahahaIs this a “I can’t tell the difference between a team stat and a player stat” thing?
Thomas is younger and has positives like his danger in the other box that make him worth persevering with. They’ve both got similar issues, but you can have one if they e got a leader and organiser by them.
This is not how you progress though is it ….Eccles yesterday , Kitching today , who's getting drivel posted about them tomorrow?

I'd personally like to see them with a competent keeper in goal and a good quality LB.
As a priority? Really?Need to upgrade the CB as a priority. Personally would look on the left side due to impact Thomas has on games although don't think his distribution is the best.
