Caerphilly Ram Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 4 minutes ago, TomTom92 said: I agree our actual business to date has been top notch. No grumbles about the players brought in. But from the get go it was obvious we need 10 bodies in. Fair enough if you’re happy to wait and see how the next month pans out. But if we do get a few dodgy results early doors (like last season) then that could be the difference between staying up or not. Just seems like everything has stagnated. I’m sure that isn’t the case, maybe my mood would be slighter merrier if we could’ve actually got a win against Chez, Shrews or Barnsley. I get people having some concerns based on the sample of pre-season thus far, I’ve always preached patience, did the same last season and we came good despite the varying spectrum of performances. I’m confident it’s not gonna be a smooth ride this season, if we’re looking completely stuffed towards the end of Dec then pressure will mount and DC might have some decisions to make. However we’ve seen in previous seasons how the right additions can make a huge difference to what’s already in the building (Adams last season, Mount, Tomori, Wilson under Lampard, beautiful George Thorne…) so I’m waiting to see who else we get and how they fit, still with a good measure of optimism.

I would just feel a lot more confident if we could make 1 statement signing, whether on loan or a permanent. Someone unexpected with a decent recent goal scoring record, would be lovely. I will say though, if we get more crosses from Barkhuizen and headers from Collins, like last night, id be happy. jimtastic56 and Caerphilly Ram 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peach of a cross wasn’t it?! I think if we are playing 4-3-3 Barkhuizen has a good role to play Comrade 86 and whiteroseram 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if we are playing 4-3-3 Barkhuizen has a good role to play When we do cross into the box we often overhit the ball and it goes past the far post, over the heads of the players in the box and out for a throw in to the opposition, those crosses are a waste of an opportunity. I understand there might be times when a cross is untargeted but that cross should still arrive in the danger area, the general area around the opposition goal mouth. Perhaps the players should have a lesson in crossing from Barkhuizen, when Barkhuizen crosses he lifts his head and targets the players in the box.

Papahet Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 55 minutes ago, MACKWORTHRAM said: We have not gone for John-Jules because he's made of quavers. We have our targets that we want and if we think we have a chance of getting them, but we have to wait, then we should wait. Well we still signed Washington despite his injury record 🙄 How long do we wait? We have no actual number one keeper at present, a pretty piss poor frontline and very little creativity in the midfield, not to mention the defence will get torn to pieces at this level. Then we'll wait and wait and have the crap leftovers as per usual on deadline day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That difficulty there is finding Championship teams willing to be so complicit in the game being stretched to its limits, leaving that amount of space in behind and/or marking that badly. But yes, great cross. Edited August 1 by May Contain Nuts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have no actual number one keeper at present, a pretty piss poor frontline and very little creativity in the midfield, not to mention the defence will get torn to pieces at this level. Then we'll wait and wait and have the crap leftovers as per usual on deadline day. Washington made 36 apps in 20/21, 35 apps in 21/22 and 35 apps in 22/23. He picked up a knee injury towards the end of 22/23. Then he signed for us. TJJ has had 5 loan spells at 5 different clubs in that same time frame. He made 25 apps in 20/21, 12 apps in 21/22 and 17 apps in 22/23 and every season he picked up an injury. There is no comparison to Washington and TJJ's injury record. TJJ is only 23 too. The amount of injuries he has had is concerning and not worth the risk. The keeper argument is a moot point, he will be here next week as we all know. Our defence is fine, we'll sign someone there. You wait until they aren't available anymore. Then you move on. We could easily go and sign 5 players tomorrow if we wanted. But the ones we want are good players that we have competition for. I have no problem waiting and having them for 43 games instead of 46. Crewton, Comrade 86, Reggie Greenwood and 4 others 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross Stewart Sekou Mara Youssef Chermiti Fabio Silva Daniel Jebbison Fofana from Chelsea except I’d imagine he’d be too expensive even as a loan. Potentially Nathan Fraser.

I’m not telling anyone else how to feel, just presenting my own thoughts as I don’t feel as pessimistic about things (yet) as some others seem to.

Youssef Chermiti Too short and can't run for ****, so not really a Warne-type player IMO. Soz, but it's a 'no' from me. Steve How Hard? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
