The workable squad really is paper-thin now, with big doubts at keeper, and the likes of Duhaney, Fox and Clucas only really very fringe and ideally leaving - and Etebo and Afobe never to play for us again.
With Powell and Vrancic to be added as and when their extensions are confirmed.
At least it'll feel fresh next season.

I think the only reason MON is still in the job is because he’s convinced the hierarchy that the players were responsible for the very average season we’ve just witnessed. It’s all on MON next season though, he can’t have any excuses with the amount of new players we need to bring in.

Reading that is very sobering top half finish would be a great surprise and interest from GC not unexpected. Without a transformational simmer far beyond anything this management and recruitment group have previously delivered

I always wondered why people were clamouring for this summer as the big reset, outside of the relief of getting the higher earners off the bill and hopefully avoiding sanctions. That list is exceptionally sobering.
On one hand you have a new process laid down by this manager which has yielded mixed results coupled with a forced drop in spending due to FFP.
On the other hand, spread that out across a larger number of players required and the end result I fear won't be as fruitful as people are expecting.
I'll happily take a midtable finish at this point.

The longer we don't hear about Powell, the more I'm thinking that could go in an unexpected direction too? I think it'll all boil down to whether Vrancic will accept a 1 year deal when ideally he's looking for 2 as his last before he retires. I wouldn't worry about Powell.

I've been told that 13 clubs above us would give their right arm to have our squad. Can it really be true? Will any of those clubs actually give us money for some of our players?

Post by independent on May 9, 2022 10:34:10 GMT
Anyone got any suggestions about 6/7 players we can sign to improve the squad without spending any money. It looks very much like last year: One out ,one in. Swaps, free transfers and loans. The ideal way to build a successful side, and no excuses please.

Would people be in favour of signing Sawyers if Powell and Vrancic both stay?
And how many of the three could feature in any XI?

Wouldn't be devastated if Powell didn't sign either. Far too often a passenger. It's either a 9 out of 10 performance or a 2 out of 10. And far to many 2s to justify keeping him for the rare 9s. Not to mention how injury prone he is. Just a wasted talent and a waste of a position in the squad. I'd definitely sign Sawyers.

Can't wait to sign a shed full of players on 2 year deals for the manager who signed them to leave 6/12 months into them.
Almost like we haven't been here before.

It would be great to have 2 creative players on the pitch who can actually pass the ball forward and hit dangerous areas. It must be possible surely? I think those two would cause other teams more problems than they would cause us.

I just wonder what the right blend in midfield is.
If we assume Baker and Powell play regularly, what attributes are we after in the other player?
And I don't think that other player is Vrancic or Sawyers, so they'd only feature when Powell isn't on the pitch?

I think this has been a conundrum all season….I think Powell when fit should play giving the creativity. Then you’d assume Baker who I see as more box to box. I think we need a holder in summer. I guess ideally six midfielders being: Baker Powell New Sawyers or Vrancic Thompson New

A big DM and another Baker type who can do a bit of everything and retain Vrancic if he’ll take a year definitely not 2.

The list is sobering but this situation has been on the cards since we blew a shed load of money in a doomed attempt at an instant return to the Premiership. It is only a reset in the sense that we are now a mid table, functioning Championship side rather than in League 1 or in administration or both. When O'Neill took over we were a basket case. Now we are just another competent Championship side. As shit as it is that's progress. We've been trying to build while under pressure to dismantle. After this summer we can rebuild without those pressures. We might be a mid table Championship side but being that it is actually a step up from where we were. It's only incomprehensible to anyone who thinks we are anywhere near being a Premiership side or think we have some sort of right to think of ourselves in those terms. It's going to be a long haul.
