That doesn't mean he's above criticism, but the fact is, he got us promoted 3 times from league 1 and has worked with the lad before. I don't mean this disrespectfully at all, but you're looking at getting promoted from league 1, not pushing for the Prem. That's Warne's remit right now, league 1 promotion. He'll sign players who want to work hard for the team and will do the job he wants. Washington will be good in league 1, he was OK in the championship last season to be fair. That said, I don't know anything about Collins, maybe he's a similar player? There was a reason why you kept getting relegated... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A complete lack of resources compared with other clubs in the Championship. I don't think that will be Derby if they go up.

You were suggesting it was a good idea to buy the 'same' players though - that would mean a large extra cost, resources we won't necessarily have - you do know what happened last time we maxed out our resources? Perhaps we should start from a different 'place' to Rotherham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PodgeyRam Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 He's always struck me as being a grafter who annoys the opposition with his hard work, running and pressing. His strike rate is underwhelming, but I suspect if we bought him he would be used to the hard work so the likes of Collins can spend more time in the box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ram1988 Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 At the moment it's not clear if Warne is building towards playing a 352 or a 343. If he's playing 352 then we need a couple of centre forwards. If its 343 we also need inside forwards or number 10s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOB BIGGS Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 I’m going to be controversial and wait to see how he fares before passing judgment ( if he signs that is).

May Contain Nuts Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 (edited) When McGoldrick left it wasn't just his goals he took with him, it was an element of control to the game in the opposition's half; a player capable of thinking a couple of steps ahead of most of the defenders he was up against which allowed us to create that slight extra bit of time and space on the ball, which in turn helped us put in some of our more watchable & aesthetically pleasing performances. Perhaps my least favourite thing about last season was that all too often without McGoldrick the flow of our games resembled one more akin to that of a basketball game, where it felt as if most most just running around at 100 mph with no real consideration of how they were going to craft an opportunity or break through the opposition lines through anything other than a brute force method, repeatedly doing the same thing over and over. While we probably can't get and arguable don't need a player to come in and replicate exactly what McGoldrick was doing, a player like Washington feels like the direct antithesis of that. Not really what I want to see. IF he is to come in, I'd really hope that there's also someone else with a bit more on-field 'class' about them coming in to balance things out, whether that's a striker or a no. 10.
