Another defeat looms. Sorry it’s so gloomy, but if Oxford work hard in midfield, then they will beat us. We just don’t impose ourselves on the opposition. We have too many powder puff players in our midfield 5, who are either not willing or not able to force the issue.Ennis is the best we’ve got up top and even he is struggling against strong, physical sides. We are reaping what we sowed in the summer, and we must correct that, in January, or we risk flirting with relegation.I sincerely hope I’m wrong, I really do. But, Oxford are a much better side than Sunderland. And yes, so we’re Peterborough, but they are managed by someone who is arrogant enough to think allthey had to do was turn up.
Paul, I think Ennis is a decent player in the making, but where his best position is going to be I am unsure about. Reading the Wolves supporters on him when he first came, they tended to regard him as a wide midfield player, or playing off a front man. Well I don't see him as a lone striker up front, especially against big strong uncompromising central defenders as Sunderland had yesterday, physically, and ball retention wise he is not up to it in my opinion, and until we sign someone better if we can, Thomas is the better option, and he also gets into the six yard box.
“Another defeat looms” Think i heard that before the Peterborough match. Remind me of the score.
Quote “Another defeat looms” Think i heard that before the Peterborough match. Remind me of the score.Not from me you didn’t and that is, so far, proving to be a 1 off. The difference between us and Oxford is, quite simply, players who are game changers - they have a few and we have the odd one, if they’re on song. The other thing is teams have us well and truly sussed, particularly at our place. We have no-one else we can call on to change things round a bit. If none of our first 11 play, then we struggle.I long for some positive news on incomings and I don’t mean just another ‘average Joe’, it’s time we showed we mean business.

Ennis has to start, if he doesn't then we are stuffed. He won't score you many goals but his energy and pace up front makes a big difference for our other attacking players. You can knock him all you like for his performance yesterday, as seems the will on this forum after a defeat, but for me he put himself about and made his presence felt.

Ennis makes a massive difference, creates space for our other players, holds the ball up better than anyone else. Without him in the side we struggle to score goals that’s evident from the statsIt also takes the pressure off the back four as well, gives them a breather, although that was not evident yesterday, but then again I think that was more down to our central midfeild who went missing yesterday
He had 7 or 8 weeks did he not and put bids in for two experienced strikers with records better than marquis. So he identified the players

So he identified the players So if he had two players lined up and they didn’t come to us as planned why has DM got so much flack. Not his fault is it and if only players like Thomas and Bingham were available after the window shut, then what should he have done? The posts on here just keep going round and round in circles with the same conclusion. Give DM 4 transfer windows and let’s then see what our squad looks like. 2 more windows and we will i am sure we will see a much much stronger 18/19 1st team squad playersWe have 13 of our own now, and hopefully we can sign Deing on a permanent deal. 4 new players in the next 2 windows on a permanent and maybe 3 loans, possibly we can get John, Sheaf & Ennis next season again? Who knows on that one.The 13 we have under contact are Lawler, Halliday, James, Amos, Anderson, Wright, Blaney, Whiteman, Gomes, Coppinger, Blair, Taylor & Sadlier. If we can sign Deing on a permanent deal & tie Anderson & Sadlier to longer deals then add 2 quality centre midfielders and 2 quality strikers. With Horton, Greaves Watton & Boocock as the younger back up players we will have a very competitive squad.May and Kiwomya will be offloaded and if Jones is good enough to be 2nd choice keeper maybe Lawlor will be also.So 4 really good signings and our squad will look very strong. We don’t need major surgery just the right players. In 2/3 positions. Yep, he joined us on 10th July so had 7 weeks before the end of the August window.If it was true about the two strikers, then yes, he had identified the players.
Put above post in wrong box. Gone in the grey. Not going to wright it all again.
