Ghost of Clough Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 14 minutes ago, sage said: Josh Earl isn't a LWB. He is a LCB or LB. So far this league season, he's played 4 games at LCB (in a back 3), 13 at LB (back 4), and 3 games at LWB (back 3). Whilst he was predominantly a LCB last season (when they were playing a back 3), he was actually used more as a wing back by Preston the season before that.

Jimbo Ram Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 We need two or three players that will be starters, not squad players. A centre forward, wide player and mobile midfielder would do for me…. Derby4Me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DM - Idris El Mizouni or Conor Coventry CF - Sam Smith or one of Ladapo or Michael Smith if possible Winger - Femi Azeez or Ruel Sotiriou as I think Blackett Taylor will be to expensive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn’t make sense for us to go for Smith now as we didn’t in the summer when he was free. Ladapo was more realistic until Hirst got a longer term injury a couple of weeks ago.

YouRams Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Got a feeling Bird and Sibley are both going in Jan to get a more Warne like midfielder or two. Derby4Me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rammed79 Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 I know we need mainly attacking reinforcement but I'd really like to get Dylan Williams back from Chelsea on loan to cover for Forsyth as I'm not sure Elder is a great alternative although we've not seen much of him so I could be wrong.

If elder plays like he did against Peterborough and stays fit he looks like well good enough cover imo norwichram, Comrade 86, HorsforthRam and 5 others 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black ('n' White) Sheep Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Ipswich have just signed another winger/AM on loan... Wonder if they'd let Marcus Harness go out on loan... Would be a good addition. Eoghan1884 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we need a data driven, ai, modern scouting thread created on here where we can suggest players based on having never seen them play, bizarre I know, but I was once told that "eyes can lie" by a well respected chief scout. Identify players based on data, stats, hell even football manager data is at an unprecedented level of accuracy and research, then go and watch them or trial them. Maybe im just thinking out loud a load of rubbish. Ghost of Clough 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eoghan1884 Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Owen Moxon has to be a player we're looking at, These are his stats compared to other central midfielers in league one Aswell as being 6 foot 2 and winning the ball back in the final 3rd 9 times in comparison to Hourihanes 4 who plays a similar role Moxon is in the last 6 months of his contract and is about to enter his prime years as hes 25 years old. Seems an ideal player to pick up, norwichram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems an ideal player to pick up, Hourihane has spent most of this season as out deepest midfielder, whereas Moxon is more of an 8 (Guy being the deeper of the two), which would explain the higher final 3rd wins. Moxon also takes half of Carlisle's set pieces, hence his high shots and chances created stats. I refer back to the comparison I posted yesterday. With his passing stats being so low he would be a risky signing to play as the deepest CM, taking the ball off the CBs. As an 8, he would be competing with Bird, so limited game time. For that DM role, I would actually target someone more like Dobson (stats also posted yesterday). He's a more rounded midfielder, still with high defensive output, but he also creates chances from open play (stat not shown in the charts). He's also out of contract in the summer. Also in the Arsenal U21 squad at the same time as Vickers. 20 hours ago, Ghost of Clough said: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think blackpool were looking at him in the summer Eoghan1884 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparkle Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 There’s a striker in league one banging them in - very experienced at a much higher level has taken part in 16 league games and has 8 league goals this season Doesn’t run around a lot but doesn’t need to it seems would probably have got us promoted last season if we had taken him on to help McGoldrick yep he’s still good enough and out of contract in a couple of weeks - Chris Martin yet we don’t need him short term, what use would a goal every 2nd game be?

What's the point of putting someone like Coldplay on our wish list when we know that Chris doesn't meet PWs requirements for all the things he wants a striker to do?
