We can blame MR and players as much as we want, question tactics and speculate on rumours but one thing we can all agree on is this squad is lacking in quality and depth having had a piss poor transfer window arguably the team is weaker by a mile than last season.
there is only one party to blame for that and its our owners and their total lack of support for improving this team and pushing forward. Sisu seem to be happy for us to languish in league 1
Kelly would do the job if/when fit.I know I’ll get shouted down but this team so misses a Doyle it’s untrue. We did well 18 months ago when Matty James took that kind of role, Kelly nearly did it but is injured to pension now.
I hate the idea of signing 30+ year olds, but we most certainly need a grown up in the centre right now.
We need some dynamism in midfield. A strong runner who can carry the ball. Allen is sadly not good enough. Converting Waghorn - he doesn't have the legs or pace. If young Doyle can settle in then Panzo could go in and help Sheaf and hamer in the absence of Kelly?

He can also pass better than Doyle did.
People forget how effective Kelly is. Even in the Championship. May not be as good in possession as Sheaf or Hamer but protects the back four much better in my opinion.Yeah, in League Two.
Kelly's distribution is not good enough at this level. He can still do a job in certain scenarios though.
Let's be honest, the defence has been pretty shite for most of 2022. Even with Hyam, JCS and Maatsen, we were leaking goals.
It could be something deeper than individuals.
Not sure why theres always calls to play players out of position?
If we're looking at playing a holding midfielder, which is something I think we should be looking at, surely the only fit option is Eccles?
Sometimes you find a player you can play in a different roll and he takes to it really well. I feel Panzo could do a job their. Eccles is woeful tbh. Not good enough at this level. Lightweight, injury prone and lacking confidence. We tried this last season with some good success when we played Maatsen there. Those that make fun of comments on here btw need to provide their solution and not just post a ridicule comment like a moron.
Mmm, not really up to the level I’m afraid-just a right footed version of Shipley.I think Eccles has always looked decent in midfield. Although he looked OK at wing back prior to this season.

You also insisted Jones would be pivotal for us last season.Sometimes you find a player you can play in a different roll and he takes to it really well. I feel Panzo could do a job their.

look he’s obviously not as good as Hyam and not really up to the standard but not really his fault that Hyam got sold last minute and he’s now the only right footed centre back
not sure this sort of thread is helpful
We need someone to tie us over until Jason Denayer comes in tbfSometimes you find a player you can play in a different roll and he takes to it really well. I feel Panzo could do a job their.

Against Sunderland Panzo was excellent and seemed to play more advanced than the back line. Only one game but Doyle looked a better defender but as I said that’s only after one game.Sometimes you find a player you can play in a different roll and he takes to it really well.

Can't do that, he's playing left of a front three in Pacman's systemNot sure why theres always calls to play players out of position?

Unfortunately, Kelly needs to be fit to get the best out of him and usually when he starts to get fit he gets injured, rinse and repeat and age isn't with him nowPeople forget how effective Kelly is. Even in the Championship. May not be as good in possession as Sheaf or Hamer but protects the back four much better in my opinion.
Agree his fitness is a constant concern. One of a number of the old guard from League One who struggle to string a few games together without an injury.Unfortunately, Kelly needs to be fit to get the best out of him and usually when he starts to get fit he gets injured, rinse and repeat and age isn't with him now
I have been impressed with Rose in the last couple of games, seems to have cut out those early season mistakes.
100% gets a new contract offer, we ain't exactly overloaded with experienced defenders, it's whether he signs it or opts for a new challenge and regular game time that's the question.I'm still not sure if he gets a new contract at the end of the year.
He needs to take his form from the last two games and replicate through the season.
We almost have to give him a new contract otherwise we're in danger of going into next season without a senior centre half. Panzo and Doyle will return to their club, Fadz is out of contract and will be 36, let Rose go as well then we'll be fucked.I'm still not sure if he gets a new contract at the end of the year.

Wasn’t he complaining over the summer about his contract? Based on that he’d probably want a decent hike in wages - if we’re faced with the current issues with making signings again, it’d definitely be money well spent.We almost have to give him a new contract otherwise we're in danger of going into next season without a senior centre half.
