Title: Who’s Next for the long term Deal?
Post by: Alan Southstand on July 14, 2024, 09:22:01 am
I’ll go for Ironside.

Then Hurst.

Then Olowu.

As much as I love Big Joe, no one over 30 should be getting deals as long as Bailey has.
Bailey has more potential to.plag high end league 1 football with us, I'm.not convinced Joe does.

Hirst, if he can break through and nail.down a place then yes.

Olowu,  I'm only just getting over him bottling a 50/50 away at Peterborough.

I think the influence of Woody on Joe has been a big help with that.

Olowu’s performance against Wrexham was one of the individual performances of the season.

I feel like he will play more next season as I still feel Wood x Anderson could get exposed if we get worked out

Hurst for sure will merit a three year contract before Jan .I believe Olowu and Ironside will warrant extensions but not as lengthy .
I think our vulnerability in the short term is midfield and hope we still sign another Premiership loanee to emulate the contribution Craig made in our 20 game run in last season .

For me, the vulnerability is if Ironside gets injured.
We would have to sign a physical striker / target man on loan.
Without him we are quite a small team.

Hurst needs to actually do something before this. Can't just be someone in 2 years time where we are still saying 'he could be a good player he's got the potential '
His biggest problem is he's clearly scared of getting hurt more than any footballer I've seen on a pitch

Well Hursty may not exactly be the new Animal or Sarge but for me you're going well over the top with that comment.

Generally agree he has to perform better this season to unleash the potential we know he has. In full flow, there's not many better at ghosting past defences plus he can finish.

In his cameo appearances towards the end of the season, he did actually get stuck in and won some vital headers and interceptions, so I hope he can show more bravery that McCann demands from his players.

Olowu is a must because he will go for good money, Hurst also, I’d give Joe another year

My previous attempt at a post was meant to suggest Glyn Snodin  as a candidate for Padge's most nesh footballer ever.

Di you never see Alex Kiwomya?

EDIT: Can't blame him though. That disease he had is horrendous; a vivacious and outgoing friend of mine became a wheelchair-bound frail waif after getting it and died in her forties last year.
