ariotofmyown Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Carson in goals. Keogh with a more experienced partner in Davies next to him. Wisdom and Forsyth...tall and fast fullbacks who are good in the air, plus Fozzie's crossing ability. Thorne in front of them: intercepting, tackling, starting moves, controlling play, creating attacks. There won't be many better Back 6s in the league next season. All Gary has to do now is get the front 5 working. Martin, Vydra, Nugent, Anya, Russell, Weimann, Johnson, Bryson and Butterfield. Not a bad bunch, plus a couple of new signings too perhaps. I'm starting to get confident, but a lot that comes from Thorne. I hope he stays fit for both his and our sake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintRam Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 I didn't see the rule change where they added another goal. That is going to make things interesting. I agree, it does seem necessary to move to a back 6 if thats the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rab a dab doo Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 GR's next moves will involve providing extra cover at DM (covering Thorne apparent inability to play 2 matches a,week all season long).As can be seen by his pursuit of Whelan) Bringing in at lest one if not 2 young fast wingers/attackers who can bring more goals to the team.(Something we don't poccess now Ince has gone). Maybe an known talent from lower leagues with potential. If we can do this we will be set for good season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe an known talent from lower leagues with potential. If we can do this we will be set for good season. Yes, all good points. I am all for signing Whelan, but not as a back up to George. That can be done by Johnson, Baird or even Hanson. We need Whelan to give us proper bite in midfield, which we have lacked for a number of years now. Without at least two ball winners in midfield we have no chance of promotion - and we will continually lose the physical battles away from home in particular. Personally I am not concerned about the attacking side of things. With Chris back, and with Vydra and Nugent in support, plus Weimann , I can see plenty of goals. And surely the midfield can chip in at least another 15 goals between them as a minimum after last season's very poor showing. Defensively we are looking so much better already - again, for years we have always looked vulnerable at set pieces. Much less so now with the two new additions and the return of Forsyth. So yes, I agree with the original poster - I feel quite optimistic and the jigsaw only needs a couple more pieces to be complete for us to give it a right good go.

DesertRam Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 The back 6 picks itself at the moment Carson Wisdom Keogh Davies Forsythe Thorne Its a case of the other 5, which will be in dispute, i'm looking at Martin and Nugent along with JR, Butters and Johnson, unless we get any others in!

Bridgford Ram Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 At the risk of appearing defensive and limiting the opportunities to combine Martin, Vydra and Nugent I would like to see a back 7 of; Carson Wisdom Keogh Davies Forsythe Thorne Johnson I think this gives us the bite and creativity in front of the defence and allows the front 4 to be an attacking force. For the remaining four I would go with a 3 then a 1. ? Vydra ? Martin or Nugent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(even though they're really the same formation but one looks sexy and one doesn't...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
