Be honest with yourselves

[AWetFlannel]

What is his best position though?

He doesn’t get played centrally because he isn’t switched on enough defensively and turns the ball over too much.

I understand why Wilder puts him out left and gives him freedom to come inside.

The only other way is to play a midfield 3 with two behind him or play 4-2-2-2 and no obvious width. He’s not that easy to accommodate which sounds daft but you know what I mean. You have to cover for his inefficiency as well as benefit from his efficiency

His best position is in our team is off the left where he gets played.

Do you think any of these players are good enough for the PL if we were to get to the playoffs and win promotion? Compared to our first season going up none of these players apart from Bamford would be anywhere near the first team, not Hamer not Cooper not anyone in fact I’m not even convinced they’d get in Heckys promoted team.

You have hardly ever played him in his best position. That's in the middle further up the pitch. It isn't his job to do the defending. His job is to pull the other side apart and make sure your opponents leave a few players back.

You are of course exactly right. Hamer, and O'Hare, are not wingers.

Our best lineup is much the same as we played with MGW and N'Daiye in that they should be high-attack midfielders in support of the sole attacker.

---------------------------------Cooper/Greenwich (not Davies)---------------------

Seriki/Hoever---------Tangagnga/Mee-------Binden/McGuines----Burrows/Hjelde

---------Brooks/Ogbene-----------Peck/Arblaster-----Riederweld/Rothwell/Chong-

--------------------------Hamer/Philips---------------O'Hare/Philips-----------------

----------------------------Campbell/Cannon/One/Bamford--------------------------

We go 4-3-2-1 (or even 4-3-3) in possession and fall back to 4-5-1 defending Either way, it gives Hamer and O'Hare chance to run at the opposition

It's a shame we can't play One now as this would be the ideal time to bring him through into the 1st team. Maybe could try Beattie or someone later on when there isn't anything to play for.

I'd argue the loans haven't been great this season. I suspect same quality or so next year is realistic.

Peck? Who is buying him?

2 extra play off places next year. It won't be easy but unfortunately that's why I was SO pissed off at sacking Wilder and the summer absolutely destroying our chances.

When boro ,cov and prob ipswich go up he will be in their sights , the boro star player is in newcastleand sunderland sights if you read the forums,
Hamer hasntbeen brilliant overall this seaso
brookes will be a leefs targrt if gnonto goes
Sufc are well down the pecking order for decent playersn

Don't have a problem with them being targets/even moving on. Although what we can't do is undervalue these players. Peck is an England U21 international and has potential to reach higher pinnacles with better players around him. The deal has to be worth at least £20 million with add on's maybe even more. The example I like to give is Berge, when playing at Burnley he wasn't great however when he got a switch to Fulham with them having that upgrade on players to Mid-table Premier League rather than relegation candidates Berge looked a class above. Peck has that potential to step-up but needs a club, Sunderland would be a good choice, if I was him. However he also needs a side he has an actual chance of being played in, the risk of going to Newcastle or one of the recent top sides is you only play cup matches.

helps if you get the penalties you deserve?

The elephant in the room is who we loose at the end of the season

Hamer Peck Seriki Brooks ?

You are talking in a football sense the wages sunderlamd and newcastle would offer would ( like most ) turn his head
Looks like newky are having a clear out at end of season,their midfield have been poor this year
, wouldnt be suprised if he went

As others have said, take away the first 10 games of the season and we're a solid play-off team.

Take away the disastrous summer recruitment and we're probably a solid top 2 team.

Such is life!
