DCFCfranco Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Which better defender then? I know you originally didn't say that but I'd say Wes Morgan is one of the better defenders at this level.. personally don't know. but i don't like wes morgan and i don't want us to sign a player who has played for both the gumps and fester Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackNwhites Posted March 9, 2013 Author Share Posted March 9, 2013 Are you happy with our midfield? I think we have solid competiton for CMs but our wide players are one of the poorest in the NPC.. I could name at least 15 better RWs than Coutts and 15 better LWs than any of the CMs that NC decides to put out there. I'm alright with Ward playing LW, as long as we've got a natural born scorer up front with either Sammon or Martin, if we sign him. I don't mind Coutts, cos he brings out the best in Brayford. Although it bothers me when he drifts too far infield instead of staying out wide to support Brayford or cover his position. Our two CB's are not good enough to make a push up the league, not sure about Legzdins either, and we need that goal scorer. Another player I'd like to see replaced is Bryson, again, popular with many but for me he's weak in all areas of his game. Doesn't score enough and is pretty light weight for defence. Not good enough a player to push for promotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackNwhites Posted March 9, 2013 Author Share Posted March 9, 2013 We're not pushing for promotion!!! We never were! If that was the aim, those were my thoughts on the subject. Never said we were pushing for promotion this season, but it's in my mind that we most definitely should be next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alph Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 You honestly think that with a better striker and a better defender (let's say Billy Sharp and Wes Morgan) we'd be 15 points better off and in the playoffs? ..... And a bench worthy of the first team. Plus Nigel to not be so stubborn. and to change things that don't work. Or at least try to change things that aren't working.

Great player to come off the bench really, fresh legs vrs the tired opposition whatever the score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then the pressure will be off. We'll all go off to our holidays and return optimistically next season with the same old, same old. We are always waiting for tomorrow. The problem is here and now.

Alph Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 We won't go down. Truth is we lost this season and damaged momentum for next season by being 2-0 up in Sheffield and not winning. By not having enough firepower to beat Hull and losing to their only two chances, by not being deadly enough when on top v Bolton and then doing our usual terrible defending tricks and Bolton not being quite so wasteful. Same with Palace. Similar to Cardiff. By not punishing Watford like they punished us. By allowing Wolves to play a drab 0-0 with us. Not points taken from us. Points given away. We have been equal in all those games. Yet we,ve not taken what we should of. For whatever reason it's killed the momentum for next season. It's trodden on any lovely Play Off delusions we all were enjoying. All the good bits forgotten because of stupid errors from Defenders who can only play what's right in front of them and a strike force that is unsettled through injury, inconsistent and pretty much lacks the actual 'striking'.

sheeponacid Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Completely agree. But the fans need to make themselves heard on this topic. We need major changes and whilst the board has a yes man manager and fans that won't protest, it will continue I'm afraid. Contact Andy Appleby at aappleby@generalsports.com & let him know how you feel, he does a great line in fairytales though so beware unless your into Tolkien, JK Rowling etc you may be dissapointed with his responses... but its still probably worth telling him were you believe the club is at present...

Ambitious Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 The problem is definitely the players.. they're no where near good enough. They try hard, and that much I can appreciate but all in all, they are not good enough - some are young, some will improve and I can appreciate that, but them playing every week will certainly hurt us short term. I predicted 18th at the start of the season, which is roughly where the quality of our squad lies... if we finish above that, I give me very under-whelmed slightly bemused well done.

top 6 finish Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 3 years go there were 8 members of my family who went, now its just me, I will never stop going to see my club but its heartbreaking seeing the atmosphere and life being slowly sucked out of the club. This is worse than when we were in the third division, at least then morale didn't suffer too long. This is my experiance too,I wonder if this is the pattern nowadays.The bar in my local would be full of supporters from 6ish to about 8o'clock,on match days,up to about a year ago.Now the same faces are there but with a crucial difference.Nearly all of them don't attend matches anymore,most were season ticket holders.There are still a hard core of 5or6,and even they are talking about 1 more season and if there is no change they will call it a day.
