This David Deakin seems to be saying we are in talks to bring this guy in. Not sure how credible he is based on his scaremongering about Bayliss being sold.

Is he still doin bargin hunt ?

You're thinking of Deakin's son.

 

[christonabike]

Is he from Deakins in Coventry market who used to sell "stay press" trousers and ski jumpers?

 

[fatso]

Can't understand for the life of me why we would be interested in this guy, is he any better than Baliss, Shipley, Allisani, or Jones. Some of Robins's transfer activity of late is baffling to say the least.

 

[Nick]

Not too sure where he would fit in.

Would be suicidal to even think about playing him with Sterling behind as well.

Reckon we’ll definitely do that then.

He can play as a winger which is a position we are short of. Bayliss and Shipley aren't wingers, Jones isn't fit and Allassani doesn't look ready yet. If it means we don't have to keep playing Hiwula wide it's a good thing.

Plus Le Shark and "original" Farah, m8.

 

[higgs]

Is it possible to have too big a squad now that players will become unsettled?

West Ham make £1.2m bid for Derby starlet as Pellegrini looks to future

Apparently West Ham were after him in the summer.

 

[Chipfat]

He can play wide!!!! So can Shipley, Bayliss, Allassani and Jones but that does not mean they are wide player's. Too many sq pegs in round hole's so far in the games played. Lets hope it settles down and players start to bond and understand roles within the team. No need to panic yet, but concern's about players brought in and how they are fitting into MR plans or system.

Farah that we’re seconds and one leg was longer than the other and often had the label cut.
Good old 80s Ullathorne clobber lol!

We at The Woodlands had perfect fit and the label...Ha ha

The difference here is that his main position is winger, having watched the first two league games we are crying out for someone that is comfortable out wide.

Couldn't be bothered to read the whole thread but... ...no we don't need a winger FFS, we actually need someone to be get into the box and tuck the ball into the onion bag !

We need somebody to get the ball near the box first.

 

[covcity4life]

wingers is just what we need

let the strikers play upfront.

allasani,thomas,jones pacey wingers

bayliss,shipley inverted wingers

bases covered

Bayliss needs to play in the middle, I don't think we'll hold on to him too long if he keeps getting chucked out wide.

 

[Ashdown]

Hiwula and Bakayoko are more suited to playing out wide it seems than up top, Biamou works hard but is unlikely to ever be prolific, I agree the midfield needs to be more productive but isn't that what Andreu and Bayliss in there for ?..........we need a predator in the box.

What makes you think they are more suited to play wide?

Again, if you don't get the ball to the predator in the box it's pointless. We need to create chances for the strikers to score, it's pointless when people start moaning about 1 chance that was missed out of about 3 games. We need to create more per game.

From what I've seen of Hiwula he would definitely be better up top. Wasted out wide.

 

[Captain Dart]

I thought he was brought in to play central, maybe he is playing wide till he can do a bit more training with the squad & get used to the system.

 

[Nick]

No he is just being played out of position.

You don't stick somebody out of position so they can "get used to the system" before moving them.

 

[Magwitch]

Have to agree, no good keep playing square pegs in round holes opposition suss it and expose them very quickly.

Is that why Robins has said Hiwulu is playing out of position on the left? He’s a striker & is out of position at the minute & obviously looks out of place there too.

 

[Ashdown]

I'm not quite sure what's going on then with either the recruitment or team selection. Time will tell and lets hope we start looking like winning a game on Saturday and scoring some goals from open play.

 

[cc84cov]

Have we signed this lad yet ?

 

[shmmeee]

Which begs the question: why the hell did we sign him?

 

[Sky_Blue_Ste]

To play as a striker once our wide players are fit. At the minute, MR obviously feels we’ve not got any natural players to play there. Adds to the reason why he’s looking at possibly getting this lad on loan? Jones will be back in the next few weeks. He’s doing it as a stop gap.

If that's the answer then why did we sign Bakayoko and JCH?

Wide players are injured in the main - MR clearly doesn’t think players like Grimmer or Shipley are ready for L1 as he’s recruiting replacements.

Time will tell.

They’re different type of strikers? The are your more strong, athletic types, where as Hiluwu is more like McNulty

But we only play one up front. It's fair enough having different type of strikers but we have 4 strikers at the moment, three similar and if we get wingers in then some of them are going to be pissed off at a lack of game time.

MR says he’s waiting for one to come out of the pack, to make themselves the undroppable player McNulty was. If you only have one type of striker, you are making it very easy to defend against. Whose to say we won’t go two up top? It’s a long season & in a team, you want competition - at the minute, not many players can complain about being dropped or left out.

Competition is two players per position not 5/6 for 1. Players who are breaking into the team should force themselves through the pack, just as Bayliss did last year. When you buy someone you rely on your scouting ability and nous to pick the player you want and trust in them if it doesn't stick not buy loads and hope one comes good.
