IslandExile Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Still hopeful that it will be promotion from the championship. Yeah, really. Also I'm going 4-3-3. We're going to need an injection of cash. Stuff FFP. Roos Byrne. *NEW*. *NEW* Buchanan *NEW*. Bielik. *NEW* *NEW*. *NEW*. Jozwiak There are cases to keep Watson, Sibley, Knight, Bird, Wisdom, Shinnie, Kazim-Richards, Marshall, Waggy as squad players. The Jozwiak critics will be surprised that I've included him but I genuinely believe we'll see the best of him when surrounded by better players. We need much better quality in the team. Better tactics and team selection would also help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is he, or any winger we have meant to do in this system we're playing? No space to operate in, no supporting runs, no movement, no one to cross to.

Ilsonram12 Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 An actual goalscorer a creative midfielder, a commanding centre half and wingers who can beat there man and put crosses in might push us on We have gone backwards since 2018 bar one decentish season under lampard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost of Clough Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Assuming everyone is fully fit... Roos Byrne NewCB1 NewCB2 Buchanan Bird Bielik Sibley NewAM Lawrence Kazim Subs from: Marshall, McDonald, NewCB3, Solomon, Forsyth, Knight, Shinnie, Watson, Ibe, Jozwiak, NewCF, Stretton Backups from: Foster, Ebosele, Archie, JBrown, LThompson, Wilson Bird, Knight and Bielik pretty much in rotation - especially Bielik who we need to be careful with. Shinnie to be ncluded in the rotation when Bielik is still injured. NewCF to replace Kazim as first choice CF as the season progresses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better tactics and team selection would also help. Lawrence has shown far more than Jozwiak has so I'd have him in and Jozwiak out the starting 11. Bird I don't personally rate so if we get some money for him I'd move him on. Agree with Wisdom, a solid enough utility player to have in the squad. Waghorn not good enough to even come off the bench for me at the moment, I'd rather have Mason Bennett back, move him on. Jozwiak worth retaining to see if there is a player in there somewhere but not currently looking like a starter of a good side. Knight has potential so be happy to see him stick around, same with Sibley. Not bothered about Shinnie or CKR either way, disappointed we offered the latter a contract, moreso because if that is the statement of intent it is underwhelming but I understand the role he could play behind the scenes if nothing else.

BIllyD Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 When was the last time we brought in somebody "new" that has improved our team. Byrne maybe ? Other than that I'm struggling to think of anyone, even including the academy players and yet people are expecting us to find over half a dozen quality players to make us into a top 6 team in one transfer window. What's everyone smoking nowadays ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He couldn’t pick out a man if he had all the time in the world and the person he passed it to was all on his own. The standard of the Championship is terrible.

Black ('n' White) Sheep Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 I'll try for a whole squad (2 players for every position and only including players under contract for next season). GK: Marshall, Roos RB: Byrne, McDonald CB: NEW, NEW, NEW, NEW LB: Buchanan, Forsyth DM: Bielik, NEW CM: Knight, Sibley, Bird, Shinnie RW: NEW, NEW ST: NEW, Kazim LW: Lawrence, Jozwiak I think it's clear to see where the problem areas are. We'll need a whole new bunch of CBs (or Edmundson and Clarke if we can get those back plus 2 more). Cover for Bielik if his injury problems persist (we've all seen the difference since he's been out). A new winger. A new centre-forward. Possibly an additional CM (we've got 4 contracted... could just do with someone with a bit more creativity to add to our options). A pretty long shopping list. And a pretty big ask to bring in that many players and it work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dimmu Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Roos/Marshall both fine Byrne New New (Clarke?) New Knight Bielik New New New New Shinnie is useful player as well, but only one, him or Knight, should play. CKR excellent option as well, but we should aim to get a better one. Our LB's are both decent but IMO not good enough for a promotion push. Wingers... well, let's just say we need some upgrade there. ? That's hell of a rebuild and I wish we had Cocu doing the recruiting. CKR, Byrne and Marshall basically without money is a terrific business.
