If we are going to offload Laurent or not depends on the players we are able to bring in I guess. As said earlier I will be more than happy starting with a midfield consisting of Pearson, Burger and Bae next season. If we extend the contract with Thompson and also play young Sidibe more we might be able to offload both Laurent and Baker, but still we would need to sign a couple more I guess. Anyway our midfield is my smallest worry as we need to sign a first team goalie (Iversen or Travers), two new central defenders (Souttar on loan + one more), a new first choice left back, another winger with bags of pace and a striker (Assante). We need to be a stable top 10 team before we can talk about promotion I guess?

Stoke City FC (First Team) v Plymouth Argyle FC (First Team) Football League Championship Referee: Madley, Robert Assistant Referee: James, Alex Assistant Referee: Antrobus, Blake Fourth Official: Kitchen, Andrew Glad it's Madley! Think he is best by far of the whole bunch in this division.

Why do people want Iversen? Bonham was better, it’s all gone tits up since Iversen came in. Not exactly fact is it? After some shaky games in the beginning Iversen has been really good and deserves a lot of credit for his performances. Bonham is a disaster in the box, but is decent on the line. Anyway, Iversen is a much better overall goalkeeper in my opinion. Of course you are entitled to your opinion, but I actuallt think Iversen is better at everything compared to Bonham.

I think we should go back for Assante, but also look for gems in the lower tiers. A loan from the prem could be an option too as we certainly need to add goals to the team next season!

We need to go for a win! 4 3 3 and an attacking minded approach! ......................Iversen....................... Junior..........McNally......Rose...........Stevens ..............Laurent........Burger................ .......................Bae......................... Manhoef...............Leris................Campbell Subs from: Bonham, Wilmot, Hoever, Thompson, Baker, Cundle, Haksa, Vidigal, Ennis I know Leris is a square peg in a round hole, but he is better in the air than Ennis, he is also better on the ball and he is stronger. I would try this as we have nothing to lose by playing Leris instead of Ennis. Campbell is much better on the wing and is our only player with decent pace too.

If he keeps scoring goals for us in our last 3 games I will forgive him anyway!

Junho and Manhoef should be the first names on the teamsheet for the rest of the season anyway, no matter how they have played their previous match. They are the only creative players in our team who are capable of creating a goal. Hopefully Steven has learnt that today. I couldn't agree more, but still the club always need to take into consideration the tear and wear on the players.

I still think a fit Pearson alongside Burger and Bae should be our midfield for next season. ....................Iversen..................... Junior.........New..........New............New ....................Pearson.................... ............Burger..........Bae................. Manhoef...............New...................New Subs; Bonham, Rose, Gooche, Thompson, Sidibe, Mmaee, ........................ Buy Iversen! Two new central defenders! A new first starting 11 left back! A new winger with bags of pace! A new striker: Assante. Offload: Wesley, Clarke, Campbell and Stevens, out of contract! Send back the loanees apart from Iversen: Hoever, Cundle, McNally and Haksa. Try to sell: Laurent, Baker, Vidigal, Wilmot, Ennis and Tezgel! If we can offload all these we really should have some money to spend as well! Would like to give tezgel a couple more seasons to develop, he's still only a teenager. Lowe on the other hand has shown he is not up to and never will be up to championship football, in a race between him and me, with me running in a pair of wellies I'd still fancy myself to win. I fear Tezgel will be another promising youngster to never make it, mostly because of all his injuries. If we could get a decent amount of money for him I would sell, yes.

Iverson 7, saved us, MOM! Wilmot 5, lost his man when Iversen saved him! Rose 6, OK McNally 6, OK Thompson 6, OK, but needs to calm down a bit! Baker 4, really poor! Burger 5, not at his best. Leris 6, lacks a bit of quality, but his effort is top notch! Laurent 4, great clearance but dreadful apart from that! Hacks 4, I'm not a fan! Campbell 4, looks like Bambi on ice for most of the game! Subs Bae 7, good! Manhoef 7, our most creative spark. Cundle 7 Great finish and save! Unfortunately the save stopped us from going 2-1 up! Stevens 6, prefer him there! Ref 2, another shitmaster! Where do they find these useless twats!

I'd say a point today makes it very likely we'll stay up, but a win almost guarantees this. A defeat today will be a disaster in my opinion!

A strange player with all the physical attributes, but unfortunately lacks the footballing brain.

Wilmot's had two bad injuries and he's a shadow of the player he was before those injuries. He is however still a far better centre back than either of the chuckle brothers that are first choice at the moment. Unfortunately he isn't anymore! That's part of the problem actually!

I agree Vidigal is not the answer right now. I think Manhoef and Bae or Campbell should play in the wing roles. I know it sounds strange, but I'd love to see Leris played as our target man up front. I actually think he will fill in better than Ennis in that position. He works hard, strong in the air, able to keep the ball, Yes, I want to see him played there!

As bad as last night was I dont think we shoudl be throwing the bathwater out with the baby Firstly I think Junho despite most of us suggesting he is better in teh 10 role should play out on the left and drift in. Secondly we missed an extra man in Midfield last night, and Burger and Laurent were totally outplayed by Grimes, also our goal threat seems to come from midfield so we need someone who can score in there and lastly a 4-3-3 seems to be suiting us better than a 4-2-3-1, therefore I would go Iversen However, McNally, Rose, Stevens Burger, Baker, Laurent Manhoef, Ennis, Junho Bench: Campbell, Bonham, Thompson, Vidigal, Haks, Cundle, Lowe, Leris, Haksobanovic. Junior!?

You have to be the most incompetent ref I've seen for many years and that really is an achievement. Gouranga. I can't remember a game where he hasn't been really shit for us! He decided the outcome of the game yesterday and that's a disgrace!

Post by robwahlmann on Apr 11, 2024 11:35:33 GMT
We conceded the first goal because he couldn't hold the line! If he could they wouldn't have scored their first. He was also in the best position to do it, but still he couldn't! Not very impressive! After that Swansea got so much help from the ref that they won convincingly!

As too many of our players he lacks pace and physical presence, some got the physical presence but lacks the pace, Vidigal lacks both assets unfortunately.

We didn't play well, but still I feel the ref cost us. With 1-1 at the break and a free kick instead of a penalty in the second half I think we could have got something from this game.

I get the feeling the squad is a bit stretched. Certainly there were a few hobbling off at full time yesterday. It’s doubtful that Stevens will be risked, and Junior is at least a week away so we could be looking at: Iversen Hoever Rose McNally Thompson Burger Cundle/Baker Laurent Leris Junho Ennis No Cundle please!

.....and our most prolific goalscorer has...? I would of course prefer Håland, but I doubt we will be able to tempt him here! just because he’s got more than our useless lot does not mean he good enough for what we need I really struggle to see us attract better strikers than him right now to be honest, and he certainly will be an upgrade with his workrate and pace. Exactly the player we should have had this season to stay out of this relegation dogfight!

He is as he has scored more than all our strikers together, or at least almost! he scores 1 in 4 , not good enough .....and our most prolific goalscorer has...? I would of course prefer Håland, but I doubt we will be able to tempt him here!

Hoever......McNally..........Rose......Thompson .....................Burger................... ...........Laurent..........Baker............. Leris....……….....Ennis.............Bae... Ennis’s work rate is excellent but as a footballer I have grave concerns. Manhoef was our star player yesterday in my opinion and needs to play. Ennis might be a better choice than Campbell as you know what you get, something we never do with Campbell. I could also be tempted to try Leris up top as he is great in the air and very good at holding the ball up. I know square pegs in round holes etc., but I actually think he could be a better choice than both Ennis and Campbell. I don't think they will risk Mmaee for this game.
