Think Obikwu needs another season out on loan but at L1 at least
Think Obikwu needs another season out on loan but at L1 at leastSave ourselves a few quid in him and Andrews are getting to the level. Maybe Obikwu too?
That’s still not good enough unfortunately YSB.We literally finished top 6 with him in goal
Its a complete nothing of a response that ignores the entirety of the rest of his career, the 2 seasons following that season included, the fact we looked to replace him straight after that season and the fact loads of shite players have finished in the top 6 over years which doesn't mean we should be hunting down all the worst ones like Pokemon cards. Maybe we should bring back Dabo as RB cover.That’s still not good enough unfortunately YSB.
He wasn’t not fit last year, he had been playing in the Australian league which is non league standard.Can we have 1 years wages back off him then please. Being fit is the very least we should expect.
You're likely right of course, although i prefer you say Wright and as yet unsigned 'other'. I'm fantasising about someone being stupid enough to buy Simms, its the time of year for dreaming.Think it’s harder for Obikwu, he’s not going to be what we need ahead of Simms and Wright, probably best he does preseason then finds a loan to carry on his development as he was starting to perform in men’s football and that will be far more valuable than sitting on our bench.
Did we finish 5th because of him or even though he played some games?We literally finished top 6 with him in goal
Not a Wilson fan as a goalie by any stretch of the imagination but he was tremendous v boro at home and not to blame v sunderland both gamesDid we finish 5th because of him or even though he played some games?
We only made the playoffs because all the teams around us also got poor results.
Nothing wrong with wanting to enhance/improve the squad with better players in certain positions, no one’s saying Wilson is going to be starting for England anytime soon, but some of the comments in this thread are just keen to bash and write off Wilson and Collins.And yet a keeper was brought in to replace him and he was told he could leave at the end of that season.
Hmmnot to blame v sunderland both games
Negligence is starting the season with a very important position not adequately covered.King as owner would be negligent if he allowed Lampard to sign keeper number 4. This is not about ability. It’s about the economics of it.
So we should be happy playing him as he had a couple of games where he didn't do his usual mistakes?Not a Wilson fan as a goalie by any stretch of the imagination but he was tremendous v boro at home and not to blame v sunderland both games
Don't want to get too ahead of ourselves, but apparently Rapha has turned up to pre season a new man
Bulked up a bit, fitness levels now almost at the levels expected and is showing good signs on the training pitch.
He would basically be like a new signing if he can seriously compete with Tats
I think Norman is in the same boat TBHThink Obikwu needs another season out on loan but at L1 at least
Wilson isn't a poor GK. If he could cut out the mistakes we wouldn't be having this conversation.Nothing wrong with wanting to enhance/improve the squad with better players in certain positions, no one’s saying Wilson is going to be starting for England anytime soon, but some of the comments in this thread are just keen to bash and write off Wilson and Collins.
Even if Wilson is as poor as people are making out there’s no way we replace him without.
1. There being adequate resources to do so.
2. A keeper moving on.
3. It being a position Lampard feels needs improving urgently.
4. There being an adequate replacement to come in, for next to nothing and be at a level to push us on immediately.
Wilson has been involved in two squads who made it to the playoffs, regardless of the defence in front of him the facts speak for themselves.
Dovin is our number one and if he’s going to be back as soon as October/November I would stick with Wilson until that time, unless there is a significant upgrade out there which I asked if anyone could name but someone get their panties in a twist over.
IF we attract no more interest in players and start the season as is. I think i'm ok with that
MVE played RW vs Wolves in the cup game didn't he and looked very effective? Maybe an option is KKH and MVE along the right? Would give us good balance in pace, but also defensive nous.
What's the definition of a poor goalie then if it isn't one that regularly fucks upWilson isn't a poor GK. If he could cut out the mistakes we wouldn't be having this conversation.
Every goalie fucks up though Hutch, I mentioned Beadle as a reference in the thread earlier. Fucked up in the Euro U21 and also last season at Hillsborough versus us, does that make him as bad as Wilson by your definition that he fucks up regularly?What's the definition of a poor goalie then if it isn't one that regularly fucks up
How have you come to that conclusion?Feels like people would be happy for us to just sign any old dross just to help their boredom.
MVE RB KKH GK?If Milan doesnt go by the first game, he will start RB with KKH LB
The performative derision and over exaggerated posting about Wilson maybeHow have you come to that conclusion?
No cors not , my reply was intended for lamps who stated he wasn't a bad goalie if he could cut out the mistakesEvery goalie fucks up though Hutch, I mentioned Beadle as a reference in the thread earlier. Fucked up in the Euro U21 and also last season at Hillsborough versus us, does that make him as bad as Wilson by your definition that he fucks up regularly?
Yes but that doesn’t mean people want us to sign any old drossThe performative derision and over exaggerated posting about Wilson maybe
That's not a bad 10As it stands we are looking at starting team of:
MVE Thomas Kitching KKH
Sheaf Grimes
Saka Rudoni EMC
Wright
Would argue a case for Torp over SheafAs it stands we are looking at starting team of:
Wilson
MVE Thomas Kitching KKH
Sheaf Grimes
Saka Rudoni EMC
Wright
Good editAs it stands we are looking at starting team of:
Wilson
MVE Thomas Kitching KKH
Sheaf Grimes
Saka Rudoni EMC
Wright
No it doesn't but it's the perceived simplicity of bringing in another goalkeeper.Yes but that doesn’t mean people want us to sign any old dross
