Hopefully he is as good as it seems. I noticed Wilson threw the ball quickly alot Vs monoco so hopefully that's a lampard directive. This new guy can clearly throw!

Means no need for dovin to rush back too

However we do need to get rid of Wilson or Collins now ideally. Maybe bend both and bell is the back up till dovins ready

What it does mean is if our opponents are nearly all in our half we have a new weapon. Do we play out from the back where they try to pin us back or do we bypass most of their players directly from the GK. Should give us more space in taking the ball forward.

Great signing if it comes off, just wait for the meltdown when he makes a mistake ( and he will) “ waste of money “

We'll still bring every single player back at every corner.

Leave a couple of players up at set pieces, our area is too crowded anyway. The opposition will have to leave 3 defenders back

Interesting that it's being reported as a season long loan. Would be nice to get to a point where we have Dovin fit again and our goalkeeping problem becomes we've two quality keepers, neither of whom wants to be on the bench.

That will be a big improvement over picking the one least likely to fuck up.

I think the owning club can recall a season long loan in the Jan window if they want to. It would give us a choice what to do in various circumstances.
I can't really see Dovin being match fit much before Jan.

Ive already seen somebody who spent weeks complaining we needed a new keeper now moaning we would have too many!

We still have nearly 3 weeks for things to happen. The one thing I would love to see is Rudoni still with us when the transfer window closes. He is the 1 player we wouldn't be able to replace.

Rudoni won’t be going anywhere.

However, if we don’t go up this year I’d expect him to be gone next summer.

Another brilliant player unfairly written off on here after a few games.

The good thing about Rushworths distribution is the variety it’ll give us.

We’ve all wanted us to play quicker, having a keeper who can do that gives us the counter attack option.

Might also allow Grimes to stop playing as a third CB and start influencing play further forwards.

So leaving 2 up front when defending set pieces would be a good option, Emc and Saka possibly

What about MVE or KKH depending on the side of the corner. Just using their pace on the break and then leaving the central striker up top as well

You leave EMC and Wright up for me. Maybe have Rudoni or grimes on the edge of the box to facilitate the break

Centre backs

Na you put your centre forward at the front of the 6 yard box when defending corners.

Clough you to say its the most important position in the team.
And he had the best English keeper in the country.
When Arsenal won every game 1-0 they had David Seaman in goal.

There was a period last season when we were conceding 2 goals every game.
That stopped when Dovin came back in.
(And Kitching tbf) you can't be successful without a solid defensive unit.

Sakamoto stays up front for me
He's too small and lightweight to be of any use in our box, but has the pace and touch to cause problems on a quick break.

If we were losing with minutes to go he could come up and take a long throw, but then again it would probably go out for a throw-in on the other side.

Just for me. YMMV. I’d hoped Grimes was more of an 8 than he is personally, it was his ability to pass from deep that excited me not him sat holding hands with Bobby Thomas playing keep ball.

Have you seen his long and accurate throws? Would you get out your seat for a 1v1 against the GK?

I don't think Rudoni will be going anywhere just yet. And if get promoted this season i can see him staying for at least another season.

But Prem sides throw money about all the time. All it takes is a side like Newcastle to put something like a £30m bid in for it to become very tempting.

His covering is second to none though. Part of the reason we/dasilva improved down left and we became more solid. With sheaf so brittle im more than happy grimes does what he does. If CBs were better on the ball then maybe he wouldnt need to pick it up off them so regularly but he also dictates tempo from deep. Sure we’ll see more from him this year as well

Great signing

Best of both worlds with Grimes to me. Always looking for the ball and very rarely loses it. But then you get it where he plays a 30 yard pass perfectly to unlock a defence.

And to add to this there's a good chance he has missed less games through injury in the last 10 years than some players like Sheaf misses in a season. One of the first names on the team sheet.

Right and as I said in the post you’re replying to the excitement was because I thought he was a more forward minded player than he is.
