If we sign no one, we are going down…..


If the manager stays no I don’t think so I think he’ll tinker until he finds a formation that is somewhat effective and he’ll get frustrated and bomb out some of the consistent none performers in favour of some of the kids. However, those kids aren’t up to promotion chasing standard and we’ll have a torrid year in the bottom third of the table.

Not a foregone conclusion as there's a long way to go yet. It's obvious we must bring in new players to progress though.

I’m saying if we buy no one we are going down. We have 1 goal in 5 games with more than £40 million worth of strikers. Granted the midfielders and keeper are the biggest problem though.
 
I don’t agree Entirely. If we are not signing anyone and not sellling we just need the transfer window to close. These players like Berge will then have clarity. That at least will be one less excuse

Do you believe they are good enough to win football matches?

What formation and players could he play with what we have that would be successful?
 
I'd be more confident with, "If we sign no one, we'll struggle this season". I don't think we'd necessarily go down. Either Slav would be able to tweak it enough with what he has to pick up enough points or he goes and someone like Heck can squeeze a bit more out of them.

The most worrying thing at the moment is our inability to score goals or even create many chances. If we can't solve that then who knows.

Who can create chances in our current team?

In theory it should do Brewster looked effective against Swansea playing out wide left (before he ended up forced back to leftback). Ndiaye I like he has a good understanding of the game and the runs players make at the top of the pitch I’d like to see more of him. Freeman needs to be given a run in the side now to see if he can create so put him in his natural position with brunt as competition. The defensive midfield two well berge has it in the locker is just whether he wants to show it and if we can release him slater may be limited but he’s committed and would put the spade work in alongside berge winning back possession. The back four would concede chances but hopefully we’d score more and the fullbacks would give us attacking output. Billy is billy and if chances are created he’ll put them away and we’ll we don’t have a better option than wes.

You'd have Brewster in the team.. Genuine question, have you seen him play for us before?

Yes and his best game for us was in the position I’ve put him in against Swansea we have no other option out there we’ve tried didzy and he can’t do it

On current form your guess is as good as mine.

There are option or at least possibilities if we change the way we play.

Berge, maybe, if he's interested in getting forward. Bogle and Osborn, if we change to advanced wingbacks. Freeman in the Duffy role. Fleck if he gets his shit together or Norwood if he gets through his complete football breakdown. Didzy or McBurnie in a slightly deeper role.

Did you see him yesterday? He had about 3 touches one of which was a shocking touch which took the ball out of play the other was a shot/cross which ended up near the half way line

I'd rather we play with 10 men

I did and he was poor. But Slav wants to play with width we’ve seen that when he first came in. He’s reverted to the 5-3-2 because he’s pretty worried and I think waiting/hoping he’ll get some players in so he can play his preferred way. When that doesn’t happen he’ll have to try and make a silk purse out of this sows ear and so far brewster looks like our only competent option wide on the left.

Competent 🙈 we will agree to disagree pal
 
Hi Stegosaurus here,

I'd like to point out that I made a thread last season saying we are likely to do a double drop and I got jeered for it. Turns out, I was right.
 
Struggling the see where the goals are coming from to get us some points on the board, at the minute.

Yes we have forwards who’ve scored goals at this level before but bar the odd cross from RND, they have nothing to work off.

The midfield that creates absolute nothing also offers nothing in regards to protecting the defence, so I can’t see us keeping enough clean sheets over 46 games. Even more so now we’ve got a sub-standard goalkeeper.

We will we’ve tried two options on the wide left of a three didzy and Brewster. Brewster put in the better performance in that position. Didzy has the better track record for us through the middle no doubt about it. As the central striker in my suggested formation I’d have Brewster as 5th choice but wide on the left I don’t think we have other options
 
Despite how terrible we've been, I still think we've too many players who are proven to be good at this level to drop. Confidence is at an all time low just now, but this team is absolutely capable of better things. Sadly though a think better things is midtable.

Nowhere near the creativity for a promotion push, but solid enough for midtable.

Ollie Burke is much stronger and way more athletic than him and probably better at football on the evidence of yesterday's game

£23fucking million! I'd make Wilder pay it back in installments.

Sorry fella - I’ve heard some dreadful excuses for the non-performance of Berge, but needing clarity must be the most apologetic of the lot. 😳

I’ll add it to the Berge bingo list though.
