That’s why you don’t let both Baka and Max go.
Chances of buying 2 in 1 window better than godden tho?
I think Mr would be more than willing to sell all of Baka, Max, Ponti and Bremang if there were buyers to give him funds to upgrade.
Can get a loaner that may better than those 2 but not godden though? Maybe a specialist big manThat’s why you don’t let both Baka and Max go.

I would like to see max start next game. See if he can impress.
Bremang is an odd one, been at the club 3 years and not played a minute in any competition or pre season I think. Seems pointless for his career being at the club
If the recently promoted teams throughout the last few seasons have taught us one thing... it’s that you shouldn’t put all your eggs in one basket! I’d hold onto a few of the lads but we do need additions! Let’s face it realistically we’re not going to be world beaters, we’re going to be mid table at best!
We technically can gather the money to pay for an additional striker and depend on the loan market for the rest! Look at Swansea getting Brewster and we’re known for developing players so I can see us getting a few decent young lads on loan.
Swansea got Brewster, Guehi and Gallagher mainly down to their manager who is the old England U17s coach
I worry about Godden at champ level.We need 2 strikers with Godden 3rd in the pecking order.
Although I think we definitely need another striker I’m more concerned about who’s going to be creating the chances, would like to see a prem loan brought in to play one of those 2 cam roles.

Chris Martin would of been a great signing if we could afford
Agree with this,I have a feeling someone like that will come in even if it’s just one we are gonna need it,I’m not convinced Godden will be enough to keep us up alone.Ive seen enough of Baka to know it’s not gonna work i don’t see him here after this year,Max also I feel will move on.The club are going to have some take some calculated risks - Martin or someone of that ilk would be the highest earner if he came here, could be finished and has no resale value but on the other hand could score the goals to keep us up
Basically, yes.to this but I would keep one of Baka and Max, probably Baka as he is more versatile.100%
Max and baka out
Godden relegated to 2nd in pecking order ideally
I would move both on their not at the level mate we need seen that against Swindon I’m sick of seeing Baka with them performances it’s like it’s acceptable & we’ve come to just accept it,a striker must have good link up play and score a few goals at leastBasically, yes.to this but I would keep one of Baka and Max, probably Baka as he is more versatile.

I agree prob keep 1 of them
Baka better on his day but his day frustratingly doesnt come enough
Maybe worth keeping max as he has mentality to score overhead kick in playoff final lol
It is quite a question as to which to keep.
I reckon Baka has more natural ability but has a tendency to play within himself. Almost like he's embarrassed to use his size to his advantage. It depends on which Baka turns up on any given day he's so inconsistent.
Max on the otherhand as you say is more limited but he can pull that absolute worldy out of the bag from time to time which Baka doesn't seem capable of.
Although I'm certain he'll get moved on I still think Ponti off the bench if we go two up top chasing a game could be a useful asset because our problem is we don't tend to have a body in the box poaching or picking off scraps. That's Ponti's game in a nutshell. If we could get someone like Shankland who's of a similar ilk IMO but an upgrade great but it's a type of striker we need as an option but one MR doesn't seem to value particularly highly preferring more all round ability.
So none of O'Hare, Allen, Shipley, Hilssner, Jones, Jobello (and I ought to add Kastaneer) are capable of creating chances? If not why the hell have we signed two of them during the summer?
The problem isn't creating the chances - it's ensuring that one of the two CAM's pushes forward to support the striker so he isn't so isolated. Willing to run off the last defender from deeper to do that. Surely one of the bonuses of playing 2 CDM's and CAM's is it should free someone up to do something like that - a free role if you will.
We've got quite a diverse set of CAM's capable of different things. O'Hare and Jones are the more dynamic running at people, Hilssner looks capable of picking a pass, Allen and Shipley will do a lot of running are the most suited to that supporting the striker role and aren't afraid to have a pop at goal from the edge of the area.
We've got plenty of people capable of creating chances, we just need to tinker with the system to make sure it provides adequate support to a lone striker.
our system is quite a defensive one with the back 5 and the 2 infront, we were hardly free scoring last season but didn’t matter so much due to our defensive record, you’d expect we would concede more this season and therefore will
need to create more, just don’t think it’s a simple as getting strikers in.
I see it as a back three with four in front. I think it's a good compromise with the extra CB there as cover but having the two ACM's rather than one also gives us more adaptability. With one you can often get a DCM to sit on them and mark them out of the game.
I agree the important thing is to learn how to utilise those two better to support the striker. We can bring in as many strikers as we like but without support they'll spend 90% of a game struggling to get involved.
However I don't think that means having to bring in more CAM's. I think what we've got is fine and a good mix but they need the tactics to give one of them a bit more freedom to help out the striker.
Up front however I think we could do with someone a bit more clinical even if we do adapt the tactics. Godden is fine but an improvement on him would be useful. Those below him I don't see as clinical finishers (bar Ponti who is unlikely to be given a go due to deficiencies in the rest of his game)
Good points well made. I think all the attacking midfielders you mentioned will have a part to play especially with the hectic fixture schedule. Robins rotated that position really well last year.
I do however think there’s a space in our team for someone with a bit of pace and directness to be an option there if we are chasing the game, wouldn’t of minded Jacob Murphy back but just seen he’s gone back to Wednesday on loan. Maybe Izzy brown from Chelsea, Luton seem to be chasing him.
O’Hare & Jones behind Chris MartinI think Jones will be that option. Also O'Hare to be a direct option, albeit lacking the pace.
