Based on recent seasons I'd find the ability to string a few positive passes together and have a few attempt/score a few goals as far more exciting.....

To be perfectly honest I don't think we've played them enough and I think we've often preferred senior players who are just flat worse than them. I stand by that we should have used them more than we have and should have taken the time following Cocu to really try to shape the team around them. But that would have taken bold direction from the club, getting a manager with a clear idea of what he wanted to do it and an experienced coaching staff to boot. But no why do a sensible thing when you can hire WAYNE ROONEY (TM)........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it could be a double edged sword because we'll be stuck with the bad ones. Release: Waghorn, Carson, Mitchell, Wisdom, Jozefzoon, Malone, Davies Players who could possibly be sold: Lawrence, Jozwiak, Buchanan, Marshall, Sibley, Knight. The only ones I'd be sad to lose would be Buchanan, Sibley and Knight, considering the wages of the others. Players who will probably stay: Shinnie, Byrne, Ibe, CKR, Roos, Forsyth, Bird, Ravas, Bielik. I think the only dead weight is Ibe. Bielik will obviously miss much of the season. That means we could be left with a team like this: If you take the general rule that you need 2 players for each position, we could need 10-15 new signings. This is obviously unlikely so we're going to rely on more academy players like Stretton and Ebosele. There's even an outside chance someone might bid for Shinnie and Byrne. And then there's Marriott, he'll most likely be released, but we have a striker who previously scored 27 goals in a League 1 season. So it really doesn't look good if we go down.

DCFC Kicks Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 What ever happens can we please sign a good set-piece taker. I can't remember the last time we had a good one, except Wilson for a season and Rooney briefly (though he was only good a scoring FKs, still poo from corners). Mowett's set-pieces are a big part of why Barnsley are where they are. Wilson has 11 assists for Cardiff. Does anyone actually expect anything when we get a corner/FK at the moment?

StarterForTen Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Interesting to see so many offering new terms to Curtis; not sure I would on a pure footballing decision. Good for the dressing room without a doubt and a leader out on the pitch, but I can't see him playing a full season - and would be best suited to a back three.

Byrne, Shinnie and Waghorn put in decent balls from corners. Byrne puts decent balls in from FKs. Lawrence and Waghorn have decent records when attempting to score from FKs. In fact, no team has scored more than us from direct freekicks this season. 14 minutes ago, StarterForTen said: Interesting to see so many offering new terms to Curtis; not sure I would on a pure footballing decision.

As we'd have an exceptionally young side, he'd be able to coach the likes of Solomon through games. It would keep the turnover of players down just that little bit more.

I’d say this has been one of our better years for set pieces. At one point of the season we were scoring regularly from set pieces. In fact, if it wasn’t for our set pieces we’d have scored about 5 goals all season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
