Davo 0 Posted August 26, 2017 Think Farke hinted that we need to bring in more quality in the back!! He''s not happy with our defence. He says we have a lot of work to do to sure up the defence - well he''s identified that......AGAIN!Is there cracks starting already between Webber and Farke!?

Tetteys Jig 830 Posted August 26, 2017 of the German defenders, there is only Franke that isn''t up to standard. stiperman looked good midweek then got dropped for the hapless husband today and Zimmermann has exceeded expectations considering he was signed as backup. we need leistner or someone of similar proven quality.

JF 694 Posted August 26, 2017 We have signed him. In front of those other clubs you believe wanted him. So what is your point?Are you deliberately this much hard work? The point is that other championship teams scouted him and rated him good enough for this level. The players we have signed must think all their Xmas''s have come at once, none of them are championship quality, hence we had no competition in signing them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At Friday''s press conference he said he was happy with his squad and trusts his players so unlikely to have further in comings.Now he wants moe quality so something doesn''t ring true.

JF 694 Posted August 26, 2017 How do you know the''re not. If you''re judging them on the teams performances so far this season then none of the team are championship quality.My God man open your eyes and accept reality! We''ve conceded 12 goals in 5 games and lost to teams in 17th,18th and 19th position. The defence is the problem not the attacking options or even midfield. If Husband isn''t good enough for Middlesbrough he shouldn''t be good enough for us. We''ve done it on the cheap and now we will pay for it. In this last week of the window serious money needs to be thrown at this defence or we''re bang in trouble Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
