When I say someone not injury prone I mean not someone like marriot who although he fits the age bracket I would be confident that he wouldn't stay fit all season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’ve got to leave a pathway to the first team somewhere, these players won’t break through if they’re not given the chance. Key thing you’ve not mentioned is that Barkhuizen can also play up front. If we have injury issues, we can move him up front and play someone else on the wing. We of course need to sign some more wingers for that to be possible though. That’s where I’d rather we focus our recruitment - a couple more good quality wingers, ideally younger players as you say since most of our signings have been ageing. We’ve got room for some loans left so might be a good place to use them. Premier ram, cstand and Carnero 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is an extra chance to give younger players a chance to play in the first team this season - the Papa John's Trophy. Millenniumram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, we’re going to be playing even more games this season than before, so a lot of rotation will be required. Plenty of chance to give the whole squad games, include some of the U21s.

So much of it is about nous, guile and positioning. Finishing helps too secondly .. you have no way of knowing if Stretton and Bart will cut it. They are at the very start of their careers. That’s such a sweeping statement. The bench mark for hero strikers is 1 in 2 .. Collins looks like a 1 in 3 man but he was much more prolific in League 1 with Luton. I am going to wait and see before writing anyone off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goes to show players want to play in front of a crowd who stick by their team. 100% I'm lucky enough to know a few people in the game (not derby players) and every single one of them has said the crowds relationship with players (ie booing and singling out players) has stopped them from joining other clubs in the past. Villa and wolves were the clubs in question. Why would they want to go there if it isn't their only option if they think the crowd will turn on them after 10 games. Toxic atmospheres are noted and remembered by players and managers. As fans we need to try and carry on this relationship and keep building. 48 hours, ariotofmyown, Will Hughes Hair and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's thing though, we are through the other side to a large extent. So we are now a mostly stable big league 1 club,who can pay better than average, who are likely to have a promotion push, who a player who comes in will likely get game time and with a galvanised fan base from last year. As league 1 clubs we are actually a good proposition right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brady1993 Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Collins I think will prove a decent signing at this level and i think leaves in a good position up front. Just need to sort out fullbacks, another gk and another winger and we will be set. S8TY and Carnero 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
