Chunky Norwich 0 Posted July 24, 2006 Apologies if this has already been brought up many times before (or even once!) by why is there this seeming insistence on looking at nothing but strikers to add to the squad? Howard, Hulse, McCleod etc. Surely this is the one area where we DON''T need improving - and I''m speaking in relative terms here. Our current squad, and I will admit I''m omitting lots of the youngsters because I don''t really know where their proper playing position is (i.e. Rossi Jarvis, Michael Spillane etc though they are all untested anyway), consists of:3 goalkeepers; one injured, one untested1 left-back2 right-backs; one always injured3 centre-backs1 right-midfielder; IF Hughes counts1 left-midfielder; IF Huckerby counts3 central midfielders6 strikers (Not including Huckerby)If you were playing Championship Manager and looked at that squad, surely the last place you would start desperately adding to would be the strike force. Especially considering that most of the players in the threadbare positions are of questionable quality anyway. What happens if Drury gets injured? Presumably Shackell could act as cover but then we lose all cover for the centre-backs. Without sounding too pessimistic, I dread to think what would happen to our campaign if even one of Safri, Earnshaw or Huckerby were out for a prolonged period. I am sorry if I appear to be casting grumbles and doubts before the season kicks off but...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
