ramit Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 We need a quality central defender and a decent holding forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbobram Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Why are people not giving Christie a chance ? ridiculous. Remember Brayford came from lower leagues and look how good he was. Not to mention Jake Buxton. Give him a chance im sure he will surprise a lot of the doubters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maydrakin Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 I can't see that we need a striker or a centre back to be honest. Chris Martin is a sure fire starter and the only reason to bring in a striker is if he gets injured. At that point you bring in a loan. Whilst we have Sammon, he is our alternative. If we can offload him and bring in a player that would be a decent alternative to Martin, then great. We also have Keogh, Buxton, Whitbread and O'Brien at centre back. Once again, any injury would be facilitated by a loan. We do seem to like 4 wingers in our game, so wouldn't be surprised to bring in a winger on a season long loan. Otherwise, I reckon it's replace if we get rid. Christie will be our starting right back and we'll only bring in another should Freeman move on. (Which he should - he's not good enough, I'm afraid) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anag Ram Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 We also have Keogh, Buxton, Whitbread and O'Brien at centre back. Once again, any injury would be facilitated by a loan. I appreciate your 'no panic' approach but we have a first team that's not dissimilar to the one which failed to gain promotion last year. We scored a lot of goals and played some great attacking football. However, we also looked vulnerable against teams who put sustained pressure on us. Some of that was down to a degree of disorganisation. I would still like to see a CB who can head and kick a ball away all afternoon against a strong centre forward and direct the others to do likewise. Buxton is a strong guy but struggles against a tall forward. Keogh is a great interceptor of a ball but struggles physically and often gets pushed off the ball. I haven't seen enough of Whitbread to form a lasting opinion but I don't think O'Brien is the answer. He's at Div 1 level at present and hopefully will improve when fit. We need a Wes Morgan type player to get us up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
