Remember we likely will be able to make 5 subs next year. Leaves a lot more flexibility to make formation changes in game.

We could bring on 4 wingers for a laugh in the last 10mins of a game.

Kastaneer was labelled too good for league 1

So?

Also, Kastaneer's issue isn't necessarily talent. It sounds like part of the issue is he thought he was too good for league 1.

Not being funny but we signed a division 3 player yesterday to start in the Championship and everyone thought that was a signal of intent. The difference is you don't know anything about this player. Technically both are actually signings from top division clubs who are being relegated.

I think the lad was training with us for a few days so maybe he'd come on trial to let us have a look at him before signing

Sounds like they've been tracking him for a while from his comments.

They were Badlans words

Yeah. But, so what? It didn't work out with one player.

mrtrench · Jul 17, 2020

I was thinking about Kasta yesterday evening. It seems that it's attitude that's the issue to me - he came in all guns blazing and then his head dropped. One of two things could have happened over the break:

1) He gets his head straight and comes back determined to put it right.
2) He gives up and asks for a transfer because he's too good for us.

Unfortunately, it's also possible that he didn't use the time to think at all and comes back thinking he'll spend 2 more years here underachieving.

I'm hoping for the Road to Damascus option.

Maybe he didn't realise league 1 was actually the 3rd division when he joined us

I think you may be forgetting MR is our manager. We don't do in game formation changes.

Apart from against Fleetwood to the formation that helped us win the league

Interesting that Bakayoko in the SkyBlue Extra podcast says Kastaneer stood out to him and all the other players in pre-season because he was super talented and was doing impressive things. So talent isn't the issue. It's his application. Badlan has so many more hits than misses in terms of recruitment.

shmmeee · Jul 17, 2020

Unlikely but if Kasta pulls his finger out we’ve potentially got four decent wingers.

fernandopartridge · Jul 17, 2020

I think Kastaneer might be used better up front, he isn't disciplined enough to play on the wing in the modern game where everybody is part of the defensive unit. He's a big powerful player so it'd be interesting to see if they could work with him to change. Better than just letting him go imo.

Razzle Dazzle Dean Gordon · Jul 17, 2020

I'd absolutely love it if Kastaneer turned it around next season. The thunderbastard he scored vs Bristol and the comedy red card show that he has the potential to be an absolute wrecking machine

Marty · Jul 17, 2020

I think HIlssner looks a decent player from the highlights package, if he can make the step up, he could become a decent member of the team.

Reckon he's got a bit of a tyre going on.

There's a YT newdbot day 4 training reel.
He looks like he could lose half a stone I think.

Having just watched it, I think you're right, the season is around 6-8 weeks away, so I'm sure any player carrying additional weight will have lost it by then.

He should be able to lose 1ib a week easily.

Fair point.

Again, I’ll mention it in passing that my initial reaction was that the 3.Bundesliga was a 4th tier division, not a 3rd tier.

I want Hilßner to be a smash hit, good pedigree, decent stats in the league he was in. Ultimately, I don’t know enough about him to make an informed judgement, and I trust MR Badlan.

O’Hare doesn’t have Championship experience, but the comparison is slightly uncharitable. He was a standout performer in a title winning side, and is 22/23. He was going to be playing Championship (or higher in a European league) had we not signed him.

As things may happen, Hilssner May turn out to be better than O’Hare, who knows? Looking forward to make some first impressions in the Rangers game!

First 3 minutes or first touch, whichever comes first, should do it.

If first impressions was all it took, Kastaneer would be a starter in our team!

True. My point though really was it’s irrelevant what our impressions of a player are. Especially first impressions. Proves the point really.

AFCCOVENTRY · Jul 18, 2020

Just found this video. Another peach of a goal.

AFCCOVENTRY · Jul 18, 2020

Another goal against Coventry

Sky Blue Pete · Jul 18, 2020

Tracking all the recent signings since this time last year! That’s planning
