Rob Holding is a decent shout to be fair.
It isn't though.The problem is that the chairman thinks the deck is good enough for top 6. I feel the first thing is to convince him of the truth and the shortcomings is the way forward else no additions will be incoming to rectify the situation.
Only issue is wages, he’s on £45,000. It would take him £20,000 for him to drop to our higher level. Wonder if he would be happy to do so.
If so would be a brilliant pick up imo
Thats sort of what I said. The squad is stronger than its ever been but certain areas are lacking. To say otherwise is ignoring left back, central defender and defensive midfield frailties.It isn't though.
We have several players that are good enough but our weaknesses seem to outweigh them.
If Frank is allowed to strengthen in January we would cruise the rest of the season. Might even end up with something to play for. But other than a tactical masterstroke nothing will change. King and Austin have brought in good players but not a good team.
Saw a different game to me then, didnt see Lati touch the ball once all game (i.e. he wasn't on the pitch)Watched highlights back today their first goal number 11 was offside and blocking Collins view.
We pull all 11 back and they had 6 in our box and yet no one marked their scorer and 2 other players Rudoni was too busy having a wrestling match to know were the ball was.We had Binks, Sheaf, Latibeauiere, and Eccles picking up no one,Bassette was neither on the post or doing any marking aswell. The second Binks slow at getting to block a perfectly placed shot There's enough for FL to begin with.
Would be happy to get rid of Burroughs, Tyler, Tavares and Howley in the summer. I'd potentially thrown Obiwku into that mix as well given that he's hardly pulling up trees at Grimsby.
Pointless holding onto players that clearly have zero future at the club.
Tyler? We need a decent goalkeeper, we haven't even seen him play in the first team yet, he's been injured, so let's see what his like first, before we get rid.
To be fair to Latibeaudiere, he wasn’t marking anyone because he wasn’t even playing…
Apologies to Lati. it was MVE fact still stands (no one within 5 yards of the player standing behind him just outside 6 yard box) 11 in the box marking 6 and 3 of those were unmarked.Like I said if Rudoni's wrestling partner was the one he was marking ,MVE lost the scorer.Saw a different game to me then, didnt see Lati touch the ball once all game (i.e. he wasn't on the pitch)
Think that probably proves my point considerably more than it does yours I'm afraid....
He's 23 next year and is nowhere near the first team. It's pointless keeping him.
If anything it'd be far better for him and his prospects of having a career to seek other opportunities.
Sheaf is our highest rated player this season on FotMob, 37th highest rated player in the division with most (90%) of those above belonging to teams in the top 6.
Virtually the same first choice team from last year. We have lost some experience and O'Hare and Palmer but not that it should have changed the dynamic that much. For problems look at King's changes behind the scenes.Are we?
We're almost halfway through the season. Lost too and not beaten some utter shite
Players look not arsed
No change in urgency of them from Robins, to Carr, to today with Lampard
None of them have taken the bull by the horns, not one of them has tried to gee up the others, not one of them has raised their game, not one of them has ran themselves into the ground to show they're worth the shirt
Today was the first time I felt concerned about the R Word
This is more than a management issue
This is £45 million pissed away on not to the level players
Well you've made my point he's only 23 and that's young for a goalkeeper and like I said he's been out for a year through injury, the coaching staff must see something in him otherwise they would've got rid.
Keeping him just because he's young isn't really a justification though..
Otherwise by that logic no player under the age of 23 should be released.
The coaching staff haven't got rid because he's under contract.
I highly doubt another one will be offered given that at this stage there's 3 GKs ahead of him.
He probably means Tyler Walker. Way down the pecking order now.Tyler? We need a decent goalkeeper, we haven't even seen him play in the first team yet, he's been injured, so let's see what his like first, before we get rid.
The full Ron Atkinson.It isn't though.
We have several players that are good enough but our weaknesses seem to outweigh them.
If Frank is allowed to strengthen in January we would cruise the rest of the season. Might even end up with something to play for. But other than a tactical masterstroke nothing will change. King and Austin have brought in good players but not a good team.
Has scored for Grimsby tonight.Probably a bit early for Obikwu, I think he only got fit by the end of October and hasn't played much.
