Has there been any transfer rumours around tyrese campbell . Feel as a back up he would offer something different and could develop under Robins.
How would you feel if I said it was Ricky-Jade Jones, sounds worse to me!Ricky Jade-Jones…sounds like an 80’s unisex salon owner.
I mis-hyphened him, doh.How would you feel if I said it was Ricky-Jade Jones, sounds worse to me!
I mis-hyphened him too, it’s Ricky-Jade.Ricky Jade- Jones is Black isn't he.
Binks is flavour of the month but it is recency bias at play - earlier on in the season he was poor at times, often getting dragged all over the place. Both players have got things they can work on.
Interesting that he is going to such a low level. Suggests that rumours linking us weren't as wild as originally thought. It would only really have worked for us if we were switching to a 3 though.
I can’t see he would come as a back up.Jay Stansfield
Would a great signing, but I can't see him or Simms being happy with being the back up.Jay Stansfield
Could easily play Stansfield as a winger but also play them upfront together in a 442Would a great signing, but I can't see him or Simms being happy with being the back up.
I can understand that, but isnt that kind of the point? Competition for places to stop players getting complacent?Would a great signing, but I can't see him or Simms being happy with being the back up.
Exactly , surely we want every player in the squad pushing for a starting berthI can understand that, but isnt that kind of the point? Competition for places to stop players getting complacent?
And where is Wright?Could easily play Stansfield as a winger but also play them upfront together in a 442
Dovin
MVE Thomas Kitching Bidwell
Sakamoto Sheaf Rudoni EMC
Stansfield Simms
Would work quite well.
We can't afford to spend big money on back up players.Why do we think any new forward will be coming as back up ?
Surely we want someone who will fight to be a starter
Wright could be rested, could be rotated.And where is Wright?
Stansfield is not happening in a million years. No Prem club is loaning us a player to come in as back up. It's pretty simple.
We don't need pressure from parent clubs for players to get minutes. We need a good understudy we actually own that we can develop. That is the system. Develop the player slowly to replace the starter which you can cash in on.
It's amazing how people have suddenly decided Wright isn't good enough again!And where is Wright?

Some of them think we can play 11 same players for 46 games this season. They think its FIFA and they can stick a fitness card on them after every game.We're almost at the stage where we can have a Saturday team and a mid-week team, everyone kept generally happy that way, and possible extra game time from subs bench, so teams are fresh, players happy and not over-worked
Fully agree, but purely as Devils Advocate (and there are clearly weaknesses in both teams ), we could put out:Some of them think we can play 11 same players for 46 games this season. They think its FIFA and they can stick a fitness card on them after every game.
If we’re playing one striker and there’s more than one in the squad it stands to reason that someone will have to be the back up.Why do we think any new forward will be coming as back up ?

As good as the squad is looking compared to previous seasons if we get 2-3 injuries in the same area of the pitch (quite likely to happen at some point) it soon looks thin and as others have said we need rotation so we don’t drop off through fatigue. I suspect this is one point of focus of the performance director.or if Simms gets injured

So yeah, not sure we’d be looking at U21 as third or fourth choice backups but someone ready to be used in rotation.
Of course, there’s always a team that ends up with 5 injured CBs or something but we don’t have any backup for Simms really. It’s move Wright from the wing or play Tav.Yes having the right preparation and recovery is important. You also need flexibility around formations and tactics. You also need a bit of luck. Any squad can be decimated with a bad run of injuries. You can't always legislate for every eventuality.
We play 1 up top and have two quality (and expensive) players that can play striker on the books already. Now Wright has moved to the left but can easily come in and cover the centre if Simms needs a rest or is injured. We have EMC who we spent 5m on to move in to the left side when needed.Some of them think we can play 11 same players for 46 games this season.

If Stansfield was a loan he wouldn't cost a load of cash would he. You say Wright can play down the middle, but has he done that effecgtively before for us?We play 1 up top and have two quality (and expensive) players that can play striker on the books already. Now Wright has moved to the left but can easily come in and cover the centre if Simms needs a rest or is injured. We have EMC who we spent 5m on to move in to the left side when needed.
At no point did I say we don't need a back up striker. But a back up is exactly what we need.
You use a dig about people treating reality like FIFA, but you are the one that wants to magic up a load of cash to bring in a top level back for a position we have two quality players for already.
Whatever cash we have left needs to go to sureing up the defense and getting in competition for the midfield
