Sounds like we will get 1 10 in. Rumour is we are switching to 433/442

So for me, the defence is poor. Goals conceded is a problem this year and plenty were soft. We have 2 young CBs that make rookie errors, we need an experienced CB in there, like what Fadz was before he got too old.
We need a new keeper. Collin’s is making the errors that Moore was making. He’s getting picked because he can play out and collect crosses better.
Both departments need a shake up. A solid defence with the goals we’ve scored (70 is it?) probably would be playoff contention.

Lots of Rudoni opinions on here. I really like him, under MR/AV I think he’ll really push on.

The lack of goals stat thrown around can be caveated by the team and system he plays in. He’s got bags of potential.

Saying that, I wouldn’t want him as the marquee attacking signing. But him to cover 10/wings depending on our system is a great signing.

What happened with Simon Moore - appreciate was off field that started downturn, late to party on that? He’s was excellent in his first season, thought we finally cracked GK!

Any players from the relegated clubs we should look at?

Rotherham: Johannsson.
Huddersfield: Sorba Thomas. Helik? (Might be too slow for a 4atb) Rudoni? (Not a fan personally)
Birmingham: Laird, Miyoshi, Paik.

Said in the ratings thread, but I'd keep Allen next season. He has an engine that we'd miss, especially as O'Hare is already off

Just want players who pass the ball accurately to other players then move into space so that they can later receive the ball.

I’m a dreamer I know.

Half the teams in the playoffs have conceded more goals than us

I'd rather see us score 80 and concede 60 than 70 and 50. If you want autos you need to score more than 70 anyway.

Jay Stansfield would be an interesting one to look at depending on what Fulham's plans for him are.

You've got Rotherham and Huddersfield spot on tbh. Blues I dunno, there's probably a couple but I'm too busy laughing at them to think about it.

I don't think the midfield in front of them has been as good as last year which I think is also a contributing factor imo

He's deluded if he thinks he earns more somewhere else.

I'd be staggered if a championship club came in for him and by the sounds of it he isn't prepared to drop into league 1

If the Wrexham rumours are true then both are probably right. How he’s going to beat the £130k/week wages I’m assured he’s on here though I’m not sure.

Out
COH, Kelly, Moore,

Sell
Godden, Palmer, Bidwell, Wilson, Sheaf.

Build on
Thomas, Milan, Torp, Tatsu, Wright, Simms, Mason Clark and Eccles,

Need to see improvement with Kitching, Tavares, JDS, Burroughs, Howley, Obikwu.

Question marks, Lats, Allen and Collins

Names
Binks, Leonard, B Whiteman, Patino, Rudoni, McCallum, Brodie Spencer, Helik, Creswell,
Browne, Bowler, Dembele. Azeez. J Williams, Brahima Diarra, Mowat.

I think we should use the loan market better as well especially in Jan window.

Linked with him in the past so could have some truth.

I don’t think he’s better than Wright or Tats but would provide competition.

Lee Buchanan? I don't ever recall watching him and thinking he's a good player, but he gets rave reviews from the Blues fans at work.

Sanderson blows hot and cold at times, but he looks better than what we have when he's on it.

I think we were linked with Buchanan previously, before he went to play abroad.

Was for some reason hoping the old Sakamoto song would catch on in his absence.
It all came flooding back at the end of the game today

Sorry but Collins is dreadful. He has such poor technique for a GK and looks so awkward anytime he makes a save.

Bidwell would be a good squad player but ideally need someone of a similar ilk to MVE on the left.

Binks imo is better than Kitching and would be a good investment.

Taking ages on the ball and then playing a hopsital pass into Sheaf or a sideways pass to Thomas doesn’t mean he can play out from the back. Shits himself when opposition press and distribution is dreadful. And collecting a cross? Unopposed maybe. Never seen him challenge opposition player in the air.

I am sure someone will screenshot a daft stat post from Twitter that tells you he’s class but my word, Oggy may as well put the kit when he walked on pitch at half time.

Compare that QPR keeper risking an injury in a dead rubber to beat Simms to a cross with Collins patting the ball to Che Adams

Collins bottling thay should have been instant dropping. Honestly my 6 aside keeper wouldn't get away with that.

He’s done things that make no sense unless he’s either chucking games on purpose or his head has gone. Not even Simon Moore at his worst was doing some of this stuff.

Nowhere near. We will probably have about 7 leaving and they need to be replaced plus we need to bolster the squad overall. 10 would be decent.

Burrows been fairly anonymous apart from 1 shot.
Kyprianou might be Posh's 2nd best CM. Collins more impressive with the ball.
EMC some nice touches, finding it difficult against low block and Oxford clearly know he's the danger man.
