Slades signings

They are all rubbish, Doyle and Malone today, they are totally out if their depth. The young kid from Everton the only one who's showed promise. If we play that team regular next season we will be relagated..Fact....

I have no doubt we will struggle next season if slade is in charge. I hope he isn't given any funds either.

Agree. We were lucky that we got points early in the season. If we have the same squad next season we will be in a relegation scrap. Cost cutting yes, but it's gone extreme and as a result its a poor team playing very poor football.

I said on here when we signed Doyle that it was strange that no other team had shown any interest in him, and that made me have my doubts about him being able to perform at this level.

Doyle will be fine if they give him someone tidy up front with him and change the midfield

Doyle had chances in the first half, he's just not good enough to control the ball and put himself in the right positions. Lower league players playing Champioship football , they just aint good enough ...

I disagree about malone. He's got a bit of skill, gets forward and delivers a decent cross and doesn't get beaten easily. For 100k that ain't bad. No one will mention fabio getting done for 2 goals though because he once played for man utd. There's too much of people basing stuff on players names and where they come from than judging them on their performances.
not saying u r in that bracket because of what you've said ChrisPike as everyone has an opinion, but there's plenty of fans with that attitude.

There's no denying that Slades signings are below Champoinship standard, Slade was brought here to inprove the Squad. Has the squad improved NO !!

we need to be gambling on 22/23 year old premier league trained players who haven't made the break through. I remember when i first saw Whitts touch or Chopra natural instinct that we need youngsters wanting to make it.

There is so much money now in the premier league, fans are demanding bigger names and the youngsters are finding it harder to make that break through. Kennedy's touch is excellent he needs to play.

We need a coach or recruitment team who know the premier league U21 and youth scene and can get them here.

I reckon we could get McAleny for £500K.

Doyle is Ok, but is he even as good as Revell ? He is only 4 year younger !!!!!!

I like Peltier, he is solid and wont do nothing spectacular but adds some steel to a small quiet squad. Kennedy looks a prospect but not been impressed with the others.......

Brought here to improve the squad? No. Brought here to cost cut

Slade has apparently taken 40% off the wage bill.

Malone actually had a decent game last Sat.
The problems were more on Fabio's side, not helped by No one.

I'm happy with Peltier, Revell and Doyle who looked a lively partnership until Revell got injured.

Kennedy is also a decent prospect and McAleny is OK too.

These lads won't take us up, but are good enough for a mid table side and cost very little, leaving room in our budget for the bigger names.

The only disappointment out of his signing is O'Keefe, who in his appearances so far has looked off the pace.

I'm more worried about the form of the likes of No one and Whittingham, inconsistency of highly paid players like Fabio, Morrison, Manga and Gunnar and injury prone massive earners like Dikgachoi and Pilkington. Not to mention Ben Turners injury record.

Exactly
I don't like slade but I'll stick up for him on that
He's come to reduce the budget and try get just Average players

How can you slate okeefe ? He's hardly played !
The boy just come from palace hard had no game time so he couldn't of been match fit
Then he never come on hardly since !
Expect aload more to go in the summer !
And good as most of them are overpaid and clearly can't be arsed anymore
Bring in people with abit about them wanting to play for us and show us abit of passion
What we lacking from this team

Hardly slating him saying he has been off the pace when he has played.
I won't judge him fully until I've seen him at least 6 times, but surely you must agree that he hasn't looked like he'll have much impact so far.
Hopefully he'll have a good pre-season and can prove a useful squad member next season

I usually agree with your posts but it's true, players don't always hit the ground running. How long did it take Mutch? Was totally written off by some fans.

Am no fan of slade but some of you expect him to walk on water. He's steadied the ship at the same time slashing the wage bill, did you expect him to have a mass clear out and at the same time in earth 5 top notch players for next to nothing? Get a reality check. Some have been average but peltier has been solid, Kennedy will be a great player and Malone has been more than ok especially for 100,000. Doyle can't be judged just yet, look what happened to le fondre when he left!

It does make me laugh when I see posts criticising his signings. I thought we were heading for a tèlegation scrap and a lot also did but have now gone quiet.

Is he the man to take us forward? No!! He's done what he was brought in to do well enough, now we must move forward with another manager

Malone didn't cost us two goals v. Bolton...Fabio did! Kennedy is really promising and McAleny excellent of played centrally. We need to play to Doyle's strengths, in other words on the deck. Peltier is a reliable defender. I'm no fan of Slade, but his signings (apart from O'Keefe) have been fine.

O'keefe is a Slade signing and the most disappointing thing for me is not his performances (1 1/2 games I think? ), it's the fact we have a manager who gave up on him so soon after bringing him in?
He was under huge pressure and we all know how poor our midfield has been, we hoped he was going to come in and change it straight away.
Why not give him a second chance now that we're safe??

A very good post but we don't know what goes on in training, if he thinks he's made a mistake which does happen. The fact gunnarson who has had his critics pops up with the winner today does make you think.

To be fair he's hardly played so even judge him he looks a confident player and looked up for it
Obviously he weren't match fit
But to be match fit you got to play Matches not sit on the bench
That midfield needs changes from left to right and better cover
That's why we are so poor ATM
They ain't the same players they were before unfortunately
I agree should be given a chance so a few others including youth
I haven't a problem with that .
See if they would be up for it come next year

What choice has he had with a budget of a few hundred grand? And selling big name players, of course the squad isn't going to improve. You can't replace a 2m player with a 100k player and expect things to improve you just need to except this is how we do business now.

No but you would expect him to play the players he buys.
Other than Paltier when fit I don't think any of his signings have been regulars in the team.

But it's purely cost cutting! Eikrem for example wasn't making the match day squad so he was released and O'Keefe has been brought in to be used if needed on probably a third of what Eikrem was on! Surely that makes sense financially?

What makes you think Eikrem from Herenveen would be on three times more than O'Keeffe from Palace? That would surprise me.

I see the sense in releasing Eikrem as he wasn't playing but I don't see the sense in then signing O'Keeffe for a fee to then not be used especially when we also have Adeyemi and Ralls who can play CM if slade did ever change Gunnar and Whits.

Palace fans seemed to rate O'Keefe, maybe a good pre season and he will play more?

I have no objection to him, I just cant understand why him and Adeyemi aren't being given a chance now in these pointless games. Instead sticking with Whitts and Gunnar again and again when we know exactly what they can do.

Your right there
Now slade could be looking towards next season
Yet he's still trying this season
Pointless I'd say
I'd like to go to the game sat and see a different team
Rather than the boring crap I'm watching now

Totally agree, Give Ralls or Adeyemi ort O'Keeffe a run in central midfield and see if they are good enough or ready for the championship.

That's what's I would do
To be honest this season was over long time ago
This period could save a lot of time in the pre season
Let's see what they made of now
Would of liked to see healey o'sullivan and them youth players put in one or 2 games see if they up for it
Least they would put a shift in

Id certainly have them on the bench
