He’d employed Wisdom as his driver, so not to blame. David Graham Brown and Steve How Hard? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MACKWORTHRAM Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 What does everyone else think we need? Just my opinion but I'm still not 100% that Wildsmith will be number one. We definitely need another keeper that's for sure. Clearly Rosenior is after an experienced right back which is much needed. I've tried to have a look who's out there. Tommy Smith, Cyrus Christie I can see are free agents. Not saying I'd sign either. Any other suggestions? As it stands we need a left back. Forsyth is still sticking around. Really strange he hasn't signed a deal yet. Surely if he was off he'd be gone now? Centre half we are pretty stacked. Davies, Chester, Cashin, Stearman, Roberts can play there too. I was going to say we might need a CDM. But now clearly Bird is staying and Smith is here. We may offer a deal to McDonald? Maybe a year wouldn't hurt. Experience could be key. Knight, Hourihane, Sibley as more advanced midfielders. Maybe another one there? I'm not sold on Sibley. Seems quite petulant when things aren't going his way. Bielik I'm just not even considering. Not injured according to Rosenior but not seen in any training pictures at all. Don't see how we afford his wages so think he'll be off on loan. Attacking areas we are light. Barkhuizen, NML are our only wingers (Yeah Sibley and Knight can play there but they aren't wingers) I think one or 2 more here. Then striker wise Collins and Mcgoldrick. Stretton isn't ready. So I think another striker is a must too. So GK, RB, CAM, RW, LW, ST So 6 more (7 if Forsyth don't stay) and I think we'll have a good, competitive squad that should challenge for top 6.

De22Ram Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Depends on the formation but i think we defo need more depth on the left side, defence and midfield! Could do with another right sided midfielder! Reckon that would have us in pretty good shape but ideally could do with another proven pacey striker and a quality keeper to be a real force next season! Hard when you have a transfer embargo though! MACKWORTHRAM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interested to know what others think.... Spot on, not fully convinced by Sibley & Stretton either. GK RB LB (Fozzy?) CDM (KB replacement - KM or DS?) RW (Diallo?) LW (Murphy?) CAM ST I think if the CAM can play LW & RW that would be ideal that way for example Diallo would be a back up behind...NML, Barkhuizen, Murphy, new CAM, Sibley, Knight....makes us much stronger in numbers. So like you said, 6 more plus Forsyth, then an 8th if Bielik goes as most of us expect. I think we expected Bielik to have gone by now which is why Stephens hasnt signed up yet, could be wrong. Then if anyone else goes like Sibley or Knight they need replacing too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost of Clough Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 GK: Wildsmith, GK, Loach RB: Smith, Odoruh RCB: Chester, Stearman LCB: Davies, Cashin LB: Roberts, Forsyth RDM: Hourihane, Bielik, McDonald LDM: Bird, Tommo RW: Mendez-Laing, Barkhuizen AM: Knight LW: LW, Sibley CF: Collins, McGoldrick, Stretton Smith used at RB. The signing doesn't make much sense given the player we have at DM. We basically want to play with our full backs playing like DMs so he'd fit in well there. A lot of flexibility in the 5 wingers and AMs listed, with them pretty much being able to play anywhere across that line. Plus, both McGoldrick and Hourihane could be played in the AM role, hence an extra DM as cover (McDonald) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bare minimum... we need a right back and Fozzy to re-sign for us. To improve on what we have on matchdays... utilise the loan market and get a GK, winger and a CF (in addition to the RB). That would do for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Trav Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Little update, expect 2 announced on Saturday before Leicester game. A midfielder (McDonald?!) and an attacker (Diallo?!) hearing josh Murphy has been training today and there’s a possibility Jamal Blackman could come in, he is still training at Huddersfield however. I expect we’ll see more movement soon DCFC1388, Carnero, LeedsCityRam and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OoooMarkWright Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 I think we need: Goalkeeper Right Back Left Back - Forsyth to hopefully sign. Wide man - Murphy would be decent. After this, signings for the U23s who could then step up to the first team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't see Smith coming in as 4th choice. Given we have those 4, Tommo and likely to give McDonald a contract, I'm expecting Smith mostly to play at RB.

Rosenior has already said he's looking at experience there. Neither Thompson or Hourihane are CDMs for me. Plus you've got Bielik there and if we're honest there's no chance he's here next season. Id imagine we want him off the wage bill sharpish. I forgot about Thompson. But not convinced he's ready yet. A lot of it is square pegs in round holes. Sibley LW for example. He doesn't fit there. In fairness I don't know where he does fit in the system we play. Of your CDMs one of them won't be here, one isn't a CDM and one of them was released by Dundee. Absolutely desperate for a right back, wingers and a striker. Stretton is nowhere near ready. The last thing we need is an injury to Collins and then having to rely on Stretton. Although it won't make any difference who's upfront if we don't have any threat from midfield and wingers who cross the ball. DCFC1388 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
