ollycutts1982 Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 😂😂😂😂 this is a signing I would expect if we were mid table just getting numbers in to see the season out. Our recruitment plan is and has been woeful. strawhillram, Dcfcsr92, S8TY and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abu Derby Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 I’ve heard that Roger Davies is coming out of retirement along with Dean Holdsworth. Genuine, and somewhat unbelievable. I’ll reserve judgement until I’ve seen them in action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MACKWORTHRAM Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 1 hour ago, S8TY said: Exactly this …why doesn’t anyone seem to recognise that we brought in so many duds in the summer when we are supposedly potless so every signing would be crucial don’t waste it on players that when fit still don’t get selected …so we end up with Ward RWB - not needed Elder - LWB - not needed there’s two places we could’ve spent more wisely players bought for a for a system that doesn’t work did we really need Vickers ? Not the players fault they don’t fit Ward must be thinking why was I signed ? Does Clowes now think he’s wasted a lot of his budget on non starters ? I would have a plan of how you want us to play with a couple of different formations get those players to play that who suit then get cover for those positions utilising the youth in academy when required In the summer we had one left back on the books in Forsyth and not a single right back or right wing back? And you're sat there saying Ward and Elder weren't needed? Of course they were. Elder has been unfortunate with injuries but I'm convinced there's a player there, just needs a run of games. It's only in hindsight now we have Nyambe and Wilson in that Ward isn't needed. FlyBritishMidland, Arsene Titman, SKRam and 8 others 4 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo Ram Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 I think both Smith and Gregory could do a decent job for us, just through until the end of the season and the end of the financial restrictions. DCFC1388 and Caerphilly Ram 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only in hindsight now we have Nyambe and Wilson in that Ward isn't needed. Ward would only be needed if we were thinking of 352 as he’s not a RB even posh fans said he was defensively weak Elder I agree on and has played well recently apart from his slip against Burton but that happens but he still doesn’t get in front of Fozzy so basically we were getting cover players ? So wasn’t better than what we already had I thought we were signing players in the summer who were starters Nyambe was a good signing but I still don’t think we needed either Ward or Elder as a sensible loan or 2 to cover LB /RB would have been sufficient or god forbid we look for players that can play a couple of positions on the whole I’ve found PW’s signings underwhelming that’s all im saying when Clough signed players like Brayford, Coutts Bryson, Martin etc they were an improvement on what we had and I could see why all managers get some signings wrong but I just think in our current predicament I would’ve liked to have seen more right than wrong strawhillram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkle Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Elder is fine but he is no wing back just a basic left back for a 442 whilst ward is third choice right back / wingback and fourth choice right midfield Money wasted has been Fornah as we have to pay a transfer fee if we get promoted and he is on a permanent contract and is hardly trusted to get more than a few minutes every month. Bradley has been a very expensive disappointment but occasionally gets on the pitch to ensure we let a last minute goal in on a frequent basis.

SSD Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 (edited) Jordan Rhodes has done alright dropping down a division. This might be Gregory's level to chip in 7-8 goals. I'm not surprised if we went for him. Warne and his lack of trust in a young loanee makes me think he'll be after older players. I mean, look at how he treated Will Osula. Didn't want him for some unknown reason and then Sheff Utd recalled him. I've been watching him recently and he'd be ideal for Warne, chasing down and pressuring defenders. Bonkers.

I guess because he’s unproven as a goal scorer at this level in stark contrast to Gregory and Smith. I appreciate we won’t know until he’s given a shot but quick results seems to be the order of the day. DCFC1388 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we dont sign someone then we are really lightweight up front for another month or so when waggys back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRBee Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Even if we manage to find another forward what proportion of the time will they be on the pitch at the same timers as Collins? Thats the real problem. Though we do need cover for Collins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
