With Middleton, he was reported as being a winger. Now I haven't got a clue what type of player he is whether he's a winger with nobs on and scores goals etc. What I do know is Matty Blair is one of the best wingers in this league and deserves to have a full season in his best position.With that in mind, I'm not too bothered about Middleton.
Well, I grant you that certainly McGeedy is a better class but should he be playing higher than league One?Matty keeps it simple, more often than not gets past his man and puts good crosses in. Scores occasionally. Apart from a few more goals (which he is capable of when in his natural position) what more do you want?Anyway, just my opinion.
Quote from: silent majority on July 19, 2019, 03:35:04 pmMy understanding is that DM isn't that keen. He has a long, long, long list that he feels would be better for us.SM - a little while back, possibly when interviews began, you said something along the lines of "I'd be shocked if the new manager didn't want any of the players lined up". That suggested to me that we had some top drawer players lined up. Do you still think that - are you shocked? - or do you think that now Moore can do even better?

With that little bit of info, SM, does that mean any new incomings are going to take longer than planned?If so, we’re cutting it a bit fine, imho of course.
He’s not cutting it fine if he’s only looking at bringing one maybe two in. But like the majority I feel we could do with 4 or 5 players and this being the case it’s going to be hard to integrate them into the side with only a week or so to Quote from: silent majority on July 19, 2019, 06:22:02 pmQuote from: NickDRFC on July 19, 2019, 04:00:13 pmQuote from: silent majority on July 19, 2019, 03:35:04 pmMy understanding is that DM isn't that keen.

Do you still think that - are you shocked? - or do you think that now Moore can do even better?He's signed one of those lined up hasn't he? I'm surprised he hasn't gone for Middleton, but as I've said previously, he has a very long list and he believes he can do better. So, all options are now on the table. Some of this is still fluid, as it always is, depending on outgoings etc. But, the positive to take out of this, is that DM says he can do better and wants to take his time to show that he can. He's one determined cookie, and that's good for all of us. If like a new previous poster said, nothing wrong with taking his time if we only need 1 or 2 players but we currently only have 14/15 first team players. This includes the likes of May (who many don’t think is good enough) and Gomez and Jones (unproven). To challenge for the top 6 we need another 4/5 good quality players. The season starts in 2 weeks. I agree that you don’t want to just be signing players for the sake of it but DM really needs to get cracking on with bringing players in. It’s hard to expect a team to start to gel in a week.

McCann was keeping his squad numbers down to 18 plus loans . So what’s changed ? the available budget won’t have ! With Marquis running down his contract , it would be hard to see a signing coming in when he hasn’t moved on . A quality loan is more likely and it would help if the club spoke about its intentions as I'm sure they are still playing catch up where a second to DM is concerned.

Remember some of the budget has already been used on the two fullbacks and the loan.
It's all right having a big long list of players, but I agree with others that we do need some quite substantial new blood at the club and for them to have a few kick abouts on the park before the season starts (i.e next week)
Donny Baz.. what do you think the future holds Sherlock ??
Quote from: no eyed deer on July 19, 2019, 11:38:02 pmDonny Baz.. what do you think the future holds Sherlock ??To be honest, I don't really give a shit. All I do is think about the away game at Drill Field, Northwich Victoria, when we got beat 2-1 to realise how we are now compared to then.I'm easily pleased but don't suffer with blind faith. It's about time you realised our football club is a good football club.Veiled criticism is just a waste of time and energy especially when your negative assumptions are based on pure guesswork and the misguided belief that things were always better in the past.I choose to be positive, you choose to be negative.
