As I See It

[nopigfansintown]

I don’t trust Wilder to get January right based on what he did last January when not a single signing worked. Choudury was the only player who made an impact and that was more luck than judgement as he was signed to play midfield and ended up covering right back when the player we did sign to play right back turned out to be absolute dogger.

Lest we forget we also blew £10m on a certain Tom Cannon.

The summer window is the big window. January is for panicking teams or ithe icing on the cake signing. I know which summer I rate over the last two. Our issue last Jan was that we needed half a squad.

To clarify i didnt think it had to be Wilder this time
but with this squad i dont see anyone doing better than him with this squad and most would do worse
I do think January needs to be big i do hope they are working at already
or we will be back where CW started from
happy days

If we are adrift there will be little investment in the window - without selling first

Since we don't have a natural goalscoring centre forward maybe its time to try a youngster! We have 3 in my opinion and they are all different and it maybe too soon for any or all of them! What have we to lose.
Marsh the oldest one is a real talent but seems to have lost his way a bit !
First through injury a broken arm and one or two niggles due to his growth spurt which left him under strength and bullied.A year or so on his back now it might just be time to try him! He in my opinion could play the false nine roll effectively ! he is a clever player and with lots of ability.Worth a shout.
ON'Es got what Marshy hasn't a bit of
Natural strength but really is a gentle giant who needs to be more aggressive! Talented though!.


Young Beattie ! His father played for us but I reckon he will be a lot better ! a natural goalscorer but he is still a kid and it maybe too soon to push him in (18).
I know footballs changed a lot these days and bringing young players in is harder than it used to be.Birchenall & Jones both were teenagers when they broke through and played as the blonde bombers for a time before we sold Jones followed shortly by the sale of Birchenall! We got relegated soon after I wonder why!.
John Harris would tell us if he was still around.
The way it's going scoring goals is going to be an ongoing struggle! Nothing to lose ! Give em a go.!
It won't do them any harm to try them.

you can’t play one striker with the lack of contribution behind and wide of them
You could put Halland up their isolated and he wouldnt score

I disagree. Certainly not the answer, but given the choice of Brewster or Cannon off the bench I know who I'd choose every single time. At least he did give an impression that he cared and tried when on the pitch.

I think the point is that he wouldn’t be available off the bench. Look how often he’s been in a Matchday squad this season.

don't worry. We all do.

By we you mean you

As someone who didn't want him back the 2nd time, let alone a 3rd, I can at least get behind the idea that a team in a relegation battle (assuming our players realise that it is actually a battle they're in ) needs to stop conceding goals and that should make sure enough points are ground out of the mill to make sure that fate is avoided.

It does mean that I'm spending far too much time during games looking at my phone because there's little of interest on the pitch as everything is merely a means to an end (and even that is not currently being accomplished). But that's pretty much how it was for me for most of last season - we were just aiming in a different direction. And Praise the Lord that we didn't achieve that as our current malaise would seem like a tame Storm Amy compared to the cataclysm we would be experiencing now.

The scattergun approach to signings has been no more successful than Wilder's picks, it's all as random as bingo, and having appointed someone the cowardly decision to sack him when not giving the change any chance at all to work shows we're owned by panic-stricken fools. Yes, I know it was terrible to watch, but a new team can take two or three months to find its feet. We haven't even had a 'new' manager bounce as a result of it; just a dead cat bounce.

I don't, though, expect we will finish in the bottom three, or even the bottom six.
