We kept 2-3 clean sheets in 2024 and that was after a period where we kept 6 clean sheets from PNE away after changing formation to 4-2-3-1.Leaked lots of goals = 8th best defence in the end but only due to a poor end to the season, it'd been top 6 for the majority of it.
If you want to start pushing square pegs into round holes like you have on the Right hand side, you could play Binks LB and KitchingRB we have Milan, JL, Eccles at a push and even Burroughs. LB we have a maybe staying Bidwell and Dasilva. We’re looking to recruit on the wrong side for me.
This was discussed a bit last season. Eccles does a job as a right wing back. Lati isn't really good enough at right back. In summary we need a better fall back option.RB we have Milan, JL, Eccles at a push and even Burroughs. LB we have a maybe staying Bidwell and Dasilva. We’re looking to recruit on the wrong side for me.

This is why I don't feel it's going to happen personally
Also - I would think the club are trying to plan for MVE leaving also.......forward planning.Of course we haven't told him that, but himself and his agent would have to be deaf and blind to not know he wouldn't be first choice when he joins
Depends if he backs himself to oust MVE and Tats I suppose
Unless we go up this is our last season with MVE. It would make sense to sign Camara as understudy to start with him replacing him for the season after next.Also - I would think the club are trying to plan for MVE leaving also.......forward planning.
Exactly my thoughts.Tbh the better we get the more we'll clearly become a club where you have to fight for your place. That's normal in my opinion. If he'd rather go to Preston, arguably the most bland Championship club in existence then fair play, but I can't see it.

Also he'd get a decent bit of game time anyway as he'd likely play a good amount of rb and a good amount of rwI'm not sure i agree with this bit. You wouldn't tell the guy he's a backup player nor would you tell MVE and Sakamoto they are guaranteed to start every week. You tell him he'll be coming to earn his place. On top of that i think they'll all be rotated plenty anyway.
Worrell isn't going to want to only play 20 games a year thoughI like to think camera would back himself to force himself in, surely. No one is ever guaranteed first team football apart from elite few.
Looking at club and upward trajectory, could be good place for camera to showcase and develop. But hey ho, again if don't want part of it, no worries.
Agree on Worrall - we won't be paying anything near those wages, but he's type we need, perhaps someone touch older who's happy to play circa 20 games a year, as you say Thomas has high ceiling and just needs to iron out to inconsistent games.
When we end up with our mid week games, I'd imagine him, MVE and Sakamoto will all be playing around 150 minutes every 2 games.Also he'd get a decent bit of game time anyway as he'd likely play a good amount of rb and a good amount of rw
If we sign a RB and a CB I would agree. However, Kitching is already out for the opening game, which leaves us with Thomas & Binks starting, Lati on the bench. Any of those 3 pick up an injury then we've got no CB cover on the bench.We kept 2-3 clean sheets in 2024 and that was after a period where we kept 6 clean sheets from PNE away after changing formation to 4-2-3-1.
You would think an experienced head would offer value. However, with 4 younger CBs in Thomas, Kitching, Binks and Lati to fill 2 starting spots, someone would need to move on.
yeah, Saka just before his injury was blowing out of his arse and so was MvE by the end of the season.When we end up with our mid week games, I'd imagine him, MVE and Sakamoto will all be playing around 150 minutes every 2 games.

You'd likely see some like this MvE and Saka in the first game, MvE and Camera in the 2nd and Camera and Saka in the Third.
I meant over the 3 games d'oh. But yes we defo need rotation players.I think it works out at 120 mins but it would be great if we got him. Having that extra player that can reduce the work load means they'll be less likely to burn out.

I reckon we’ll end up letting Lati go because he’s more of a CB in a back 3 and doesn’t look as dynamic at RB as MVE. Perhaps him carrying a knock towards the end of the season influenced that.
To be fair, I could be average/poor in any position you like.I can't see him going this summer, he covers too many positions. We're going to need plenty of depth this season if we are going to push for playoffs and though he might not be the best player at any one position. He is still a valuable player to the squad.
Because we have no experienced centre halves and only have 4 anyway. This includes Lati who isnt a specialist in any position from what ive seen to date.
If Worrall comes in he's going to be starting surely. I'd rather see us just stick with Thomas. He won't come cheap and especially if it's a loan we'd be better off developing our own players imo.
I can see why we’re after another centre half. Currently going into next season with the same back 5 that conceded a lot of goals.
We want another centre half with experience so yes Worrall would be the type
However, wage wise I can't see it
RB we have Milan, JL, Eccles at a push and even Burroughs. LB we have a maybe staying Bidwell and Dasilva. We’re looking to recruit on the wrong side for me.
Yeah, but that’s not as many pegs and they don’t fit as well.If you want to start pushing square pegs into round holes like you have on the Right hand side, you could play Binks LB and Kitching
Maybe MR knows one of our CH's is being sold, but wants a replacement in first ?These 4 quotes are exactly my mixed emotions on Worrall, I’m sitting firmly on the fence with this one. Seems like the bloke we need but also doesn’t make practical financial sense at the same time. If I was Doug I’d genuinely be torn as to what to do about Worrall.

yeah but the wages he'd want would take upmost of our budget
he's on 40k a week a Forest and even if Forest pay some of that it is still going to be more than we should be paying for him.
Reported by a single source and the only other stories are regurgitating Nixon's words. Even Andy Turner is now quoting an online story that's running off Nixon's rumour.
No new comments or positive reporting from anyone.
This is a non-starter for multiple reasons.
Still think a No.1 GK is far more important. We hardly had any clean sheets last season.
I reckon we’ll end up letting Lati go because he’s more of a CB in a back 3 and doesn’t look as dynamic at RB as MVE. Perhaps him carrying a knock towards the end of the season influenced that.
Yea but that was playing without a goalkeeper.We are crying out for an experienced defender. Currently we have the exact same defence that leaked lots of goals last season
I wouldn’t mind keeping Lati to play RB CB or CM in case of an emergency but wouldn’t really want him as an immediate back up in any position
This is it. Let's look at it as we are now with the 'stronger' rumours knocking about
Camara and Worrall
Camara - has been over, but sticking point being we cannot guarantee he starts with MVE, Tats ahead of him down the right. Preston can. I still think he won't come here
Or CB, or CM... apart from that he's sound.Don't mind him as a squad player but I never want to see him play RB again.
I've never heard of any of these signings and targets on these threads .I'm astounded.
