I think between Evans and shinies and bielek etc along with huddlestone and others we would be ok there?

I think we will be crying out for another attack minded player during games this season along side dowell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re sorted there with bielik and Huddlestone (Evans is more CB now I’d say), and that’s not even mentioning Thorne and bird but in the more advanced two positions we only really have Shinnie, Holmes and Dowell. That’s one short for me, we need someone to compete with Holmes to play alongside dowell for me. Must say that I still think we need a new first choice GK as well mind. I’d say we need 3 signings not two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep Duane Holmes is brilliant and i did forget about him. However, still feel like we could do with another, unless Sibley is ready Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dowell and Holmes both provide creativity and Shinnie looks like he might be utilised as a box to box type player. Sibley and Knight are highly rated and we have good cover for the DM role as mentioned in previous posts. If the Huddersfield line-up is anything to go by then I think we need more wide options as Lawrence looked good in that free role in behind Waghorn. I think Cocu might even like to have a front 4 that could interchange through the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostyn6 Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 1 hour ago, Dean Saunder’s hat trick said: Thought Jozefzoon did ok tbh. Wasn’t outstanding but wasn’t terrible. Occasionally sloppy in possession but so was Evans and malone. He’s never really had a proper run of games in the team to get going. No reason why he couldn’t settle and improve given the opportunity. FloJo has a case of the "Kenny Millers", where it looks like he's running his fastest, but he actually isn't moving. I was surprised just how slow his sprint is. Wouldn't be surprised if Huddlestone can beat him over 20yds! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For such a low level of strength, you should be at least fast and agile... Maybe it's the start of the season as all the players looked knackered at the end. Fitness issues should get better over time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't an easily improved attribute, like "marking", "passing", "ball control", or "dribbling". I assume you're trying to cleverly refer back to my comments about people willing to write Max Lowe off (based upon playing for Aberdeen)? Nice try, but very different indeed, at FloJo's age, he's not going to get faster at sprinting. His crossing can improve, as can his all-round game, and I hope it does.

We need better than FloJo, tbh I'd rather Bennett played there. Lol the irony is I thought Bennett was pretty dreadful when he came on, don’t think he got the ball under control once still love him but wasnt his finest cameo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, due to how the game was when he came on I don’t think mason got over the halfway line, where as joflo was an outlet ...involved in one of the goals mase ran around a lot usually after his first touch or had given it away theres no way mase has more influence on that game than joflo, not a cat in hells ... it was about as poor a cameo as he could have given in terms of ball retention ... when we needed it most love him ... but that wasn’t him at his best if ur talking about AN other body to run around chasing after their first touch then someone other than Bennett could have done that as for anya, what’s he on about 2 assists in 2/3 seasons ??? Have to agree to disagree I think I’m not saying flojo was anything special but am recognising the job he did. We do need AN other though as I’m not convinced we have anywhere near enough magic in the wide areas to unpick a well drilled back line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
