McNulty always needs to play alongside someone IMO. Without that extra support from someone doing the dirty work his talents are wasted.
Exactly, to me he’s not the sort to lead a line in a 4231, but in the 10 you take him out the box where his predatory nature is taken away the same as the wide areas. He’s better feeding of a focal player in a 442 to me and his stats suggested that prior to his ccfc days.
Question hen is does Andreu suit a 442 wide role?
Difficult balancing act for MR to get right this summer

didn't know he had been realised but deffo be interested in him, thought he was good.Bailey Cargill available on a free. I seem to remember he was OK when he was here.
Defo need full backs.
Weak link for a while and Grimmer/Stokes and Haynes just not good enough footballers for league 1
Chris Hussey available on a free :smuggrin::smuggrin::woot:layful:
Thank Christ for that!!Chris Hussey: Cheltenham Town sign Sheffield United defender
Signed for Cheltenham with Conor Thomas
Get Adam Armstrong on loan if he's doesn't sign for Blackburn.
We need some L1 quality players to bolster the squad. I'll be amazed if Doyle can complete a whole season in L1 at his age now.
Vincenti, Rod, Kelly twins, Haynes won't cut it in L1.
Having Andreu and Jones will be like having brand new attacking players which is great. Andreu a playmaker and Jones a winger.
Still would like a quality experienced GK.
Yah, not sure if Grimmer will be good enough for League One unfortunately.
He he is not very good with players running at him and more often than not allows wingers to go past him and get balls into the box.
I like Stokes a lot, but he's not the quickest.
Think it may be time to move McDonald on, both of the DKE's, Vincenti, Beavon, Reid and Haynes
Grimmer played in league 1 for Shrewsbury and was liked there. He's a decent player.
And Otis notwithstanding Ponticelli hasn't the look of McNulty yet...just my humble opinion but i fear the best we can do with Bayliss is for him to be back on a one year loan deal - just can't see a biggish team not snapping him up for their future ala Maddision and Norwich. I think he is a real talent, McNulty, will surely get an offer from a lower league championship outfit such as a Bolton/ Rotherham, etc, that will be an acid test for me cos replacing his goals won't be remotely easy. beyond that and again my humble opinion, a new keeper, possibly 2 new full backs but certainly a left back would be the basics, Andreu and Jones will be like 2 new signings as such. not sure on JCH but I thought a deal was in place anyway?
I would say he had more than 'a few' bad games.Why is McDonald not rated all of a sudden and fans want him out of the door? He's had a few bad games but so has everyone over the season, some were saying he'd be a target for Championship clubs in January
Nope, he hasn't. He needs to improve his movement and also engage his brain a bit more. Around the box though he can be deadly.And Otis notwithstanding Ponticelli hasn't the look of McNulty yet...
Agreed, Bayliss is terrible at tracking back, unlike Shipley. Grimmer has a lot of potential and should be earmarked for the no 2 shirt next season. He covers an awful lot miles in a matchHe gets s lot of stick for his defending but he gets little help from the right of midfield. Vincenti when he played struggled, Jones isn’t that well disciplined and for all his good points Bayliss is awful at defensive cover.

I like him, I really do, but he does get beaten too easily at times by wingers and his distribution and especially his crossing, at times is dreadful. Shame, cos his first touch is very good and he has a bit of pace and intelligence about him.Agreed, Bayliss is terrible at tracking back, unlike Shipley.

With Bayliss if you want his flair you have to live with some of the flaws. Also out of position don't forget and being shoehorned into the team. Exeter played 2 left backs yesterday, the experienced Moxey at left midfield, to try and nullify him and it worked for the first half at leastAgreed, Bayliss is terrible at tracking back, unlike Shipley.

Think Otis talking about Grimmer not Bayliss?I also wonder whether the big clubs will see his failings better than we do. They want two things I know for certain -
1. Speed, because that is something that cannot be coached. Is Bayliss that quick?
2. Intelligence / discipline. This is why Fellaini at Man Utd is picked so often - the manager sets a position / goal and he does it.
He may have these, I don't know.

I like Mo Eisa from Cheltenham. He had a great season and looks like he could step up.

How would someone like Armstrong partner McNulty
Andreu has managed to build a reputation based on mythology. He could be a great signing like McNulty or he could be the next Peter Vincenti - no one knows.
True and as I said earlier somewhere I'm a fan of his ,he has worked tirelessly across the season and as its progressed been a significant outlet but less good defending ,it simply could be down to what changed ahead of him, part of the tightest defence until long into the season ?Agreed about Grimmer. He’s had to play like a wing back in a 442 formation yet never stops giving it a go even if he’s having a off day delivery wise. He’s a young lad and can still improve defensively
Cheltenham want 1.5 Million Otis, we might need more than a whip around to finance that one.

Could accept Bayliss being sold in order to finance that.
Jones is thoughDefo need full backs.
Weak link for a while and Grimmer/Stokes and Haynes just not good enough footballers for league 1/future.
McDonald had a great start but tailed off, Vincenti lost his confidence then ninjured both surplus to requirements.
Jodi Jones & Andreau like new signings and could make massive contributions.
Other Glaring gaps are rapid wingers (as we ain’t got any) Ponticelli not a winger nor is Bayliss.
