Do we need another winger?

I'd say yes, Calero isnt ready yet otherwise we would have seen him play.

 

McClaren clearly likes to run with 4 wingers, Dawkins, Ward, Russell, last season Bamford this season Ibe.

 

I would very much like us to pick up Lingard from United, just got back playing from an injury, scored 10 goals and assisted 6 in 30 games last season.

Not only do we evened a winger, we need a very good one at that. A starting player who scores and assists would complete this team now. Relying on Dawkins or a never fit Ward would be an error but I am 100% sure that Steve and Chris will bring someone in. I just hope he is very good.

If there's a better option than Calero, Ward, Dawkins and Russell, who would come in and start games, then get him in. If there isn't then the lads we've got will do fine. We always should be looking for more quality where possible.

I don't think we need one at Championship level. We don't play that wide anyway, we tend to go through the middle more.

 

We have Ward, Forsyth, Dawkins, Coutts, Hendrick, Christie and maybe some more that I don't instantly recall who have all played out there.

Yes,

 

We lost our most direct wide man who can take a man on and provide that bit of brilliance.

 

Russell does it a lot as well but we need one in case of he gets injured or on the other wing.

 

What's the point of taking a man on? Does it benefit anyone? It's only of value if there's end product, and with Ibe, the end product was minimal. So no, we won't miss him as much as people think.

I see where you're coming from he was frustrating at times especially when I sit near the pitch and see him doing all these skills and we have 5 players in the box and he doesn't even cross it!

 

Just feel we'll miss it in those games where there defending for there lifes and to be fair he always commanded 2 players marking him which was a good thing!

Yes, three isn't enough going into the remainder of the season. McClaren likes to rotate his wingers as well and always changes at least one during a match. Calero isn't ready for the first team. We need another loan deal imo.
