am i missing something

Sun Jul 29, 2018 9:22 pm

i know warnock loves bamba and morrison and we also got manga, but why r we not linked to some expereinced centre half as we are very leggy at the back and this will get shown up un prem also we struggled for goals and no link to a striker
its a known fact if you have a goalscorer you will stay up!!

Agree mate I’m not a fan of manga personally, one or two injuries at CB and we ll be fukt.

I've been saying this all pre season and everyone banging on about we need midfielders and strikers.I don't think we will cope at the back in the prem with what we got, I can see us buying another CB in a few months time.

I worry the prem might be a step to far for bamba and manga, I think Morrison will do ok but if he gets injured we will be down shit creek without a paddle.

Lee Peltier can play Center Half, so can Greg Cunningham.

We have

Morrison
Manga
Bamba
Peltier
Cunningham
Connolly

If we get any more defenders we are really Just giving out a wage for no reason. I actually think we could lose someone (I.E Connolly) and still be suitably covered. Steven Caulker was rated so so highly when we bought him last time we were up. We ended up shipping so many goals and now look at Caulkers career, he’s nothing to where he used to be. What’s the point buying names when we can just work WITH (not despite of) what we have.

I actually think Manga will shine in the Premiership. He’s a true ball playing, calm and confident CB. It was unfair last season to ask him to play at RB - I gave him a ton of crap for getting caught out of position. Since last season I realized that he was playing to Warnock’s tactics. Surprisingly, having been forced to play Manga at RB due to Pelts and Jazz being injured I am genuinely shocked the club has not bought/loaned a quality RB.

I completely agree regarding Manga. He’s a proper footballer and I remember when he first joined us and won MOM virtually every game with his calm defending and playing out from the back. Lately he’s been in and out of the team and mostly been playing out of position.

should really have signed another CB but its obviously low priority considering we arent spending much this season

Re: am i missing something

Mon Jul 30, 2018 7:27 am

I would like a CB as a 5th signing but for me the priority has to be Centre Mid x 2, striker, right back and in that order followed by a centre back.

We are only allowed 25 players in the squad.
I doubt many other squads have 6 players who can play CB ?

its not numbers its quality, if money was no object Connolly probably wouldnt be here, and we'd have the same number of centre backs.

Completely agree :thumbup: We supplement the squad we had last year we can't possibly totally replace it. NW has a limited budget and therefore has to prioritise his spending. He is happy to work with what he has got in defence and that is what great coaches do.

They cost a lot of money though for proven Prem goal scorers.

Zohore and/or Reid May well do the job.

Don't need a crystal ball mate as I'm just repeating what Neil said,how about you.Nobody knew for sure Vardy would cut it in the prem until he was given a chance.See what I'm saying.

With regard to a RB we signed Patterson to play RB but he was much better in midfield so I think we could still do with another RB.
