Between Baldock, Gregory, kazim, Stretton etc? Depends what formation we are playing obviously, but if we play with mcgoldrick as a 10 and Collins up top like a few think we will then we will have NO ONE to bring on up top WITHOUT injuries, so I wouldn't say 2 more is excessive at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yani P Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 If he can get a full season there and bang in plenty of goals it will do wonders for his development. cstand 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magicman Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Best for everyone - hopefully he can prove me wrong and become a scorer at that level at least. cstand 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boycie Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 I noticed how disappointed he was after the pre season games he featured in, he had one good chance but failed to shine, he knew that I assumed. I hope he can use this loan to get back in the goals. cstand and 48 hours 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldock was the first half of the season, and was injured for half of that. Kazim was injured for half of last season. 1st half of 21/22: Baldock, Kazim, Stretton 2nd half of 21/22: Plange, Kazim Crewton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was told he could leave once replacements were brought in Captain ITK comes out with another “Yeah, that’s what I heard” after the event. If you were told about it, why haven’t you told us beforehand? ThePrisoner 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely didn't feel like we had 5 options as well as people who could do a job there (Dobbin, Sibley)...could be wrong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My reading is that he got some vague stuff and a fair bit wrong early on ..but recently he is getting much better and less vague stuff ....so whoever the source is they are part of the new system so should be useful in the future, so keep them coming!

Howard, Peschisolido, Macken and Stead options upfront, with others on the wing, wasn't it? The squad (excluding players with just a few apps excluded) looked something like this: Keepers: Bywater, Grant Defenders: Moore, Johnson, Edworthy, Leacock, Camara, Jackson. 1st half only: Boertien 2nd half only: Mears, McEveley Midfielders: Oakley, Jones, Johnson, Malcolm 1st half only: Bolder Wingers: Barnes, Lupoli, Bisgaard, Smith 2nd half only: Fagan, Teale, Currie, Pearson Forwards: Howard, Peschisolido 1st half only: Stead 2nd half only: Macken 4 players for two CF positions, with other filling in. When playing 1 up top (which we will continue to do this season), you're looking at 2 CFs, 3 if you're greedy, with others filling in if needed. Since McGoldrick will also play in a AM/SS role, we'll be going in to the season with Collins, McGoldrick and one other. The likes of Barkhuizen and Dobbin chipping in if needed.

Exactly right B4. I think he looked a bit lost / frustrated when he played pre-season and having time with Simmo will do him a world of good.

Why dont you just see how he gets on this season and wish him well rather than always piling on some of the youngsters? And your argument perhaps falls apart if Simpson comes back to us at some point Crewton, rynny, 48 hours and 5 others 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plange head and shoulders above Stretton as just one recent example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
