Right back Left back A younger midfielder, indeed perhaps 2 It seriously showed that last year it was a squad simply to get out of League 1, Ipswich and Plymouth are miles ahead in terms of readiness for the Championship. I think we need a left back. We desperately need two top quality midfield players, we can’t rely on Byers - we won’t get 30 games this season. We also need a goalscorer and a left footed flyer. Pace and craft. It’s that simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyben Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 (edited) We may need to play one of Delgado or Musaba on the left. Seems a bit lobsided **Delgado has played as a leftwinger in the past. Edited August 5, 2023 by Andyben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crying out for a left back. I thought Paterson had a decent game at RB to be fair to him. Like you say KM, pace is what we need - Saints had that all over the pitch last night.

TheExile Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 1 hour ago, Neville Facking Bartos said: If we get 2 midfielders and another striker should Smith go I think we’re good at that Probably need a left back too and maybe even another winger given the emphasis on them. One CM might do if he’s box to box or a quality defensive mid. I’d like to see what Shipston can do too, I think he’d surprise people and is more Byers than Bannan with that tackling. Certainly needs a quality striker which you’d hope we have lined up in principle if we’re contemplating moving smith on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheExile Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 Wonder if we’d get a loan fee. That makes more sense with some of the numbers mentioned/made up. But it may suit us as a contingency if things don’t work out this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheExile Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 Seems like an even taller version of Panuche Camara. Clearly wanting a player who can drive forward with the ball. Probably a bit down the pecking order behind Camara and Onomah but seems another one who could be good or better than those above if he adapts. We have a few of those now though. I think we really need that but of quality in the final third, fingers crossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheExile Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Diaby a gamble and possibly lower on the list than Camara and Onomah, although I’m not sure why given Camaras injury record. Nonetheless that kind of rangy midfielder is exactly what we need. Just need some more pace and directness in attack now in an ideal world at least. Maybe we are done but gut feel is we will be looking at loans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
