Ellafella Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 5 minutes ago, angieram said: I think our trouble is we've been shopping in tried and trusted Waitrose - we think it's better quality but are buying stuff at a knock-down price as it's very close to its sell-by date and has not been the bargains we've thought we've got. We really should be shopping at a young and upcoming supermarket like Lidl - we might not have heard of the brands but they will be fresh and their quality could surprise us! Agree. However, it's down to the "new" timescale, isn't it? Say we don't got promoted this year {pretty unlikely now- odds against us in the "playoffs"}. Do we: 1. Short-term: Patch and mend/tweak and try another 1 year "smash n grab" playing anti-football? 1 season. 2. Mid-term: put the oldies out to grass and cut our losses on the "not up to it" ...we can all work out who's who...2 seasons. 3. Long-term: Nut and bolt restoration...3 seasons... "find" a new spine, go back to "playing football" and build around 1 or 2 very senior professionals. We ought to start with a couple of raw, hungry youngsters ...Elsnik, Mason Bennett, the young winger, Max Bird, et alia. I would not go for #1. 2, I could cope with but I'd really like option 3. Maybe our coaching could be freshened up by the likes of Paul Simpson, and Robbie Van der Laan. I've had personal experience of RvdL and he is an exceptional coach and we know that Simmo has top pedigree already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or for example we go up via the play off and Fulham don't then we sign him for free with more money than he gets at Fulham.

Rammed79 Posted March 8, 2018 Author Share Posted March 8, 2018 We have **** loads of players to shift out too many to list I tried but gave up halfway then we need to build a team with youth and hunger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuwtfly Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Young Centre-Half... New Left-Back... Energetic Central-Midfielder... Winger to replace Johnny AND Ince... A young, pacy goalscorer... Not much to do over the summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rab a dab doo Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Why not go ahead and replace the whole side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EulogyForEvolution Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Bring in: CB - Patrick Bauer from Charlton (German...need I say more) LB - Jonas Knudsen from Ipswich (the consistent performer we've been lacking) CM - Timi Max Elsnik back from Swindon (the great hope) CM - Sam Morsy from Wigan (an energetic, talented, young leader) LW/RW - Marcus Maddison from Peterborough CAM/RW/LW - Kasey Palmer from Chelsea on loan ST - Jack Marriott from Peterborough (born goalscorer, likened to Jamie Vardy) Get rid: CB - Alex Pearce (expensive bench warmer) LB - Craig Forsyth (if he doesn't improve) CM - Jacob Butterfield (just give him away to get him off the wage bill...he could probably force his way into my 7-a-side) CM - Craig Bryson (I love the guy, but doesn't seem to be in the plans. Played 90 mins in 2 of 3 of Cardiffs last wins -_-) CM/LW - Bradley Johnson (can't perform in his main position. Keep if he nails down a place in the three behind the striker) RW - Ikechi Anya (unless he forces his way back into the team and does well again this season) ST - Nick Blackman (back to Israel, I think. He seems to have done well there) ST - Chris Martin (I love the guy, but it might be time for him to move on) ST - Darren Bent (out of contract) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this year will do him the world of good. Throwing him into the Championship and expecting him to perform might have been one step too far. Now he has experience in a physical league he will be much more likely to perform for us next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papahet Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Marcus Maddison and Jack Marriot no more golden oldies please GR, these are two players who'll only improve and increase in value if coached right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archram Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 I read this just so it reassures me that summer will come! No chance me remembering any suggestions but I can rest easy knowing they’ll all crop up again nearer the time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
