I think Rooney & Thompson will/need to go out on loan. I do think 1 of Sibley & Barkhuizen will go this summer, maybe even both. We don't need an enforcer. Those days are gone. You pick up bookings too quickly now. Bookings are tactical fouls these days. Opponents ran through midfield at times last year because our CBs were too slow to play a high line when the forwards pressed. The deep midfielder these days needs to accept the ball off the CBs and dictate play. Ghost of Clough 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too pedestrian both on and off the ball at times, too easily by-passed and don't cover the ground well enough. That could be said about the entire team though.

I would agree about pace, I do think CM were over exposed by the high press/deep line combination though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magicman Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 I think Thomo is a decent player but Bird Smith and Hourihane are ahead of him. So let him go on loan and let Robinson break through to the squad. Not sure if we will have Knight but if he goes assume we will get a replacement in. norwichram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bimmerman Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Archie Collins and Josh Key formally released now. Nominal compensation fees applicable. Worth a risk on both, key is a great wing back, Collins a robust CM that could fill a gap that Knight might leave by going Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keys most likely end up at Sunderland tbh according to word around the city, absolutely won't sign for Plymouth. All depends on if they'll pay the compo Every exeter player will be linked to Rotherham this season because of the Matt Taylor link, it's lazy journalism tbh, has been since the day he left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomTom92 Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 On the striker front who do we think we’ll get in? Knibbs - Going Reading May - Going Gillingham Sam Smith? JCH - Can’t see us being able to afford him Bonis? Don’t think we’ve been linked with anyone else. Does anybody have any gems up their sleeve?

Well players we have signed haven’t come from Journalist links. So, I would guess it’s likely some of the 5ish players we are yet to sign haven’t been linked anywhere.

deanoakaram4life Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Uche Ikpeazu is a left field option. Left Middlesbrough for Turkey and hasn’t set the world to light.
