CJ 1 Posted August 30, 2016 I have tried to keep the faith with AN but enough is enough.1 He really thinks we have enough forwards even though Laffs is only played as last last resort against Brum so yes we will only have two forwards this season!2. He has kept players who should move on even given Whitts new contract which he repays with interest at Brum. The like of Whitts Martin Turner Bassong Dorrans Jarvis are not the future and should have gone when we came down.3. Something badly wrong in training to have this many injuries so early is unacceptable.4. The Laffs situation reminds me so much of Grabben and suggests AN doesnt deal well with stroppy ones. Alex F once said is not how you deal with good teamplayers that matters but real management is getting the best out of difficult players that counts . 5. Starting against Brum with no recognised Forward for me was last straw , we could and should have won that match and probably would with Laffs on from start. AN is demonstrating complete lack of plan and has a squad dominated by midfield players with not enough quality depth upfront or in defence. Games are not won in the center of the pitch as we proved at Brum with majority of possession. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TCCANARY 263 Posted August 30, 2016 Or we could go with what he actually said,“If I could do another one (striker) then definitely. If we got an opportunity to bring another one in we would try to do it,” he said. “I don’t think you can have too many centre forwards who can score goals."

Fiery Zac 1,066 Posted August 30, 2016 1. where has he said that?2. So you''d like us to buy 4 new defenders rather than keep as backup players that got us out of the championship last time? Dorrans too was instrumental 2 seasons ago, and we haven''t seen what Jarvis could do at this level. Clever.3. Maybe we shouldn''t train them at all? Keep them all wrapped up until matchday and hope for the best. Injuries happen, ask any other club in the world.4. Dealing with difficult players is important, but they have to be decent footballers to warrant being played. Various rumours about Grabban situation but we got a very healthy (and crazy) profit for a player who''ll be back in the championship soon.5. ''We could and should have won that match and probably would with Laffs on from start'' - says it all. Regardless of the striker, it''s creating chances we''ve been poor at of late. Possession stat only uselful to a point. Our midfield is the problem as disjointed and no consistency (crosses and long balls into Naismith not going to work), sort this and play players who compliment each other and we''ll score goals whoever is up front.

CJ 1 Posted August 30, 2016 Ok TC et al usual abuse etc .If I said to my boss I could do with someone else to help me if opportunity arise etc which is effectively what AN said then how much urgency would my boss put into that task.If you are happy that AN goes with two strikers until January say so not just have a go. If you think Whitts Bassong Martin etc are good enough this year say so .In other words backup your post with your opinion , and if you bothered to follow what AN said even you would know he was concerned with high injury list and was checking if anything to do with training regime!Last season I was staggered when AN failed to get enough backup in defence and said so , AN said that had been solved this year with decent setup in scouts etc yet once again we have failed to get our primary targets while our rivals do so.Only time will tell I hope I am wrong but if you feel confident AN will get us up again with this squad say so, then we can check back in New Year.

hogesar 10,763 Posted August 30, 2016 I''d say you''d do well to post more often Bex as your general sentence structure / grammar / spelling is appalling, so getting some practice in can only help.

Buh 0 Posted August 30, 2016 There''s a difference between not being satisfied with certain aspects of our current squad and having problems with our player acquisition abilities, which I have, and posting an explosion of urine because you can''t take it.
