With Bird and Houllane we were wide open all the time. For me thats my 2 centre midfielders for next season . No goals or pace. I'd have Adams with two technical players who can score and create. We'll need it unless we significantly improve our striking options and we can't just get Cashin to shovel it out wide in the hope of getting someone on a cross, the midfield will need to be used more. jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarterForTen Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 This is a classic case of Chinese whispers. It’s not an attitude problem with Korey Smith at all, it’s down to a HAT HE CHEWED. Have you noticed the gaffer has been without his favourite bobble recently… #ITK angieram, Caerphilly Ram, Carnero and 3 others 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. Adam’s was the missing piece in the jigsaw who gave the team more presence, it took Warne far too long to realise that Bird and Hourihane were too lightweight as a pair. I think Bird would thrive with Adam’s in the side but that’s obviously not going to happen. We definitely need a couple of box to box midfielders with Smith a good option from the bench. There seems to be lots of good midfielders becoming available on a free so we should be able to attract some good recruits. jimtastic56, Ram-Alf and Gee SCREAMER !! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We might have seen the same with Bird, hard to say but Ebou was the catalyst though that’s for sure. Hourihan was tidy and astute but there was an edge / urgency missing too often Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadAmster Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 According to EFL rule... “Any club wishing to re-engage a contract player whose contract is due to expire on 30 June must notify him in writing by the third Saturday in May in the final year of his contract whether or not they offer him terms of re-engagement specifying (where applicable) such terms." That's tomorrow. By then the players will have it in black and white if they're going or can stay if they reach agreement on a new contract. Thus far only 4 of the 23/24 season SBC sides have published their lists. 18 of the 23/24 L1 sides have published. jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And suggests we're looking at major upgrades in the striking department. Interesting times. jono 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouRams Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 If Collo is going I imagine it was more PW telling him he's not guaranteed to start and Collo not being the type of player that wants to sit on a bench, rather than a complete cutting of ties.
