PartyFears2 Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 for me, this is where we are just now. M Smith, Booth, Stanton & Frans in this also. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loemba90 Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 I don’t think another centre half will be a priority, though I do feel we need better than Connolly/Frans. Maybe if we manage to get rid of a couple of defenders. Believe there will be another signing from Argentina to come. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loemba90 Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Also heard Deniz may be back to do pre season with united, not sure if it’s with a view to signing or just for fitness 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moo Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 for me, this is where we are just now. M Smith, Booth, Stanton & Frans in this also. That centre midfield duo looks pretty brutal tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dregs 83 Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 for me, this is where we are just now. M Smith, Booth, Stanton & Frans in this also. Yeh that’s about right. The absolute main priority has to be a reliable out and out goalscorer- our defence at the end of its season had its frailties but the fact that we only conceded 4 goals in our last nine games indicates to me that if we score 15-20 more goals than we did last season we can win the league comfortably, especially with the bolstering of the fullback positions. One thing I am a bit concerned about is Reynolds inability to play on plastic, that’s 8 at least games next season where he’s out, and I’m not crazy about the options we have ready to slot in. I think next on the list after a striker should be another decent central defender, possibly at the expense of Frans (he has less versatility than Watson- but is probably worth marginally more) After that, we need another competent Goalkeeper for sure- if not to replace Seigrest, then to push him. Another winger and central midfielder would be good, but for me, non essential. I’d rather we went with the highest available quality in the other 3 positions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aladdin Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 BTW - I’ve completely forgotten Aird in all that. Hmm Dont see Aird playing for us again if accounts are to be believed. In any case, he hardly tore it up at QotS so we likely need better.I dont think we need another centre half in this league. Priority has to be an attacking CM, unless Pawlett can play there, a LW and another striker. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we could have picked up more points had we done so. That said I think it’s more important that we sign players for the formation Neilson wants to play. If 4-2-3-1 is his preference then for goodness sake bring in a striker or strikers suited to that role. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PartyFears2 Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 I’ve been saying for along time that against the lesser sides, at home, we should go 3 at the back. Fucking go for it.The lads want entertained 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fucking go for it. The lads want entertained 3 at the back isn't an attacking formation. The wing backs are invariably defenders and don't play any further forward than they would in a 4 meaning that the notional 3 is really a back 5. It does let you play 2 strikers without losing a player in the centre of midfield but at the cost of playing with any wide attacking player. It also lets you fanny around more at the back if that's your bag. 3 at the back is for teams looking to not concede, rather than teams looking to score. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
