Alph Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 More excited by this after Jozwiak's debut. Ibe seems like a gamble we can afford if Jozwiak's debut is a sign of things to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roboto Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 I think, if we get a LB in this window, it will be a premier league loan. The future players in that position are Buchanan and Archie Brown, so we don't want to block their paths. Fozzy is only good enough for cover when we have a long injury list now (unfortunately) and Buchanan needs more time with the first team to be ready. Archie looks to be a key member of the u23 team, but could maybe do with a loan to League 1 or 2 for at least the second half of the season if he continues to find the youth levels too easy. Saying that though, this is the Ibe thread and if our attack is dangerous enough then some of the pressure will be relieved from the defence. Buchanan will possibly make himself first choice with Fozzy covering on the bench and Archie the next in line if needs be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Ings barely played for 3 seasons but is smashing it at Southampton now Ibe made 24 appearances (3 goals) in 18/19 but only made 4 last season. This is only 1 season out really so he shouldn't be more than a few weeks away from playing with match fitness being the only issue. He shouldn't really be that rusty when players are often out for longer with bad injuries? Yes, a good call that. And if he hasn’t been playing then all the little knocks aches and pains that any athlete is likely to have after a hard season may not be there. A week or so of training, a sub appearance or two and with a fair wind we might have the road runner we saw first time round. COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazzaram Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 With this signing, I could see us setting up like Brighton did so effectively at the Toon. 3-4-3 (which can be easily adapted during games). I'd go with: Lawrence Wisdom Dutch Mike Clarke Byrne Rooney Bird Buchanan Ibe Waggers Jozwiak Add in (when fit) Bielik and Lawrence, and with Marriott, Shinnie, Sibley and Knight waiting in the wings, we could be a team to be feared. I can but dream... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ram a lamb a ding dong Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 To be fair from 4 of Jozwiak Lawrence Ibe Waggy/ Marriott/ a.n.other This should be enough to get towards the top 10 at least. Bird, Homes or Knight just behind Lawrence with Rooney sitting will be strong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think we remain well covered in this department. People said the exact same when Bogle left. "Well we have Wisdom, Ebosele, Evans can play there if needs be and so can MTW." Its the same now. We have a full back who isn't good enough anymore in Forsyth. A young lad who's barely played and then a midfielder who can play there if needs be. We need a good left back. We can't go into a season with those 3 as our left back options. If there's a good loan or a decent cheap deal out there like Byrne was. Then we need to do it.

No one was saying we needed a LB until Saturday, it’s a clear overreaction to one bad performance early in the season. Cocu’s clearly comfortable with Fozzy and you should be too, we all know what the bloke’s about. He’ll occasionally have a stinker but will just as often string together 7/8 games where he’s solid as a rock. Buchanan- “A young lad who’s barely played”...well let him play then. LB- Forsyth, Buchanan RB- Byrne, Ebosele Very cost efficient depth chart, have patience with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be straight on the phone to Leeds asking them to borrow us Barry Douglas for the season after witnessing Forsyth's performances so far this season. Dead ball specialist and can operate at LWB if we want to go to 5-3-2. Fitness problems are the only red flag I have with him. Like you, I'd be extremely worried if the window closed with those 3 as our only LB options. I like what I've seen of Buchanan so far, but I wouldn't want us to rely on him for a extended period of games. Forsyth is done at this level IMO. Good servant, but we need better if we want to progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millenniumram Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Great news that this one seems to be all but done. Surprised it’s only a two year deal though, seems quite short term for someone his age. Guess it reduces the risk if things go wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean Saunder’s hat trick Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Very, very happy with this. Will need patience from fans and time to build match fitness. Here’s hoping Cocu can rebuild his confidence and form. There’s a proper player in there. Decent target man up top and it’s been a very good window in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh - This is it for me - Fozzy has always had a mistake in him but he tends to balance that out with some good attacking support and some cracking games - It's not a priority position for me and (hopefully) it's mostly about some organisation - Love him or loathe him Keogh used to organise the defence well and we missed that last season - Hopefully Te Wierik is the leader/organiser who's been brought in to correct that 9 minutes ago, Millenniumram said: Great news that this one seems to be all but done.

If he has a good season you can always give him a longer contract next summer - Or if he has a really really good season and someone comes in for him there's a year left and we can get some money for him - I'd say it makes sense for both parties Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because having Forsyth as first choice left back is not an option for me. I'm not comfortable at all with Forsyth. Cocu probably isn't either. But at the minute he's pretty much his only option. Buchanan looks more comfortable in a LWB role than a LB role. A striker is a priority. FWIW I think we need one this week. Because we're going into Saturday without one. Nobody is expecting us to spend big. A loan would be fine. But we need a left back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
