Sparkle Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 14 minutes ago, Ghost of Clough said: @Caerphilly Ram At LWB, we now have Elder, Osborn and Forsyth. We may still have Sibley signing a new deal too. GK and CM certainly the two areas we desperately need signings. We could do with another CB and CF - both being key players in the team and (hopefully) starting most weeks. I hope Sibley signs a new deal and forces his way into the staring X1 especially in an attacking capacity as we look very short of threatening players from central midfield currently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ram1988 Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 Yates and Jackson would both come into my starting 11 of contracted players in a front 3 with NML (343). More bodies in central midfield and a goal keeper is a must now. Also a LWB of Sibs doesn't sign up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabby'sThighs Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 Ward, Wilson, Rooney, Osborne, Jackson, and Sibley (if he signs), provide some positional flexibility. It'd be good to see a GK, CM, and CF come in soon. I know it's a slightly different topic, and a bit previous, but I believe Nelson, Nyambe, Bradley, Wilson, Forsyth, Thompson, Fornah, Barkhuizen, and Washington will be out-of-contract in 2025. It'd be nice to see Nelson, Nyambe, and Wilson extend their deals. tbh, it'd be good to see a couple of those moved on this summer (you know which ones I mean...)

Dean (hick) Saunders Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 I’m planning on Brown tearing the division a new A.Hole and being in amongst promotion at Christmas… Only for him to be sold off and a slide to mediocrity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ram1988 Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 Center midfield is the obvious area where we desperately need reinforcements. Ebou Adams and Kenzo Goudmijn will help change that and make our sqaud feel more balanced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlsonDerby Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 Vickers Nyambe Nelson Cashin Ward Kenzo Thompson Osbourne Jackson Yates NML probably need 2 more CMs, either a first team LWB (freeing up Osbourne to be another option at CM) or another CM, another striker and another secondary attacker as well as a goalkeeper or 2? Potentially another CB if the right player becomes available. Caerphilly Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A ball winner in midfield and a number one keeper are the obvious holes in our sqaud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully he gets chance to nail one position and doesn't get shunted about all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with this which is why I think he'll primarily be a midfielder as I believe he's said previously that he doesn't enjoy playing full back/wingback. In which case we certainly need to bring in a new left wingback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ball carrier: first choice - Osborn, backup - Thompson Ball winner: first choice - Ebou, backup ? Attacking mid - bobbly Clarke? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we can pigeon hole it as just a 3-5-2/3-4-3 as there were long stretches last season where we played with a back 4 in a 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1. This is why I'd ideally like us to find a new left wingback who can also hold his own as a left back in a 4. A younger Fozzy if you will.
