Koumas isn’t good enough to be starting. The front three is right at the moment.
When Gallagher comes back, potentially 4-4-2 with Manhoef and Bae on the wings.
Bae was good today and is picking up a few assists.

None of them will trouble the highest level unless they add a whole lot more to their game. As for Junho atm I think we’re doing him a favour. Nice player to watch but horribly goal shy. Is that viable in a front 3 starting position?? I’d put money on at least 3 of those players playing in a top league in Europe. In fact two of them already have. I’m not overly interested in them playing in a top league in Europe. As stated they won’t succeed in the top division here unless they add a whole lot more to their game. Joselu played in a top league in Europe in one of if not the most successful team. He was still a fucking flop in England. |

Are Gallagher and Lawal any good? I haven't seen them play. No matches up here w Stoke early in the season.

Bae was good today and is picking up a few assists. That is exactly the problem we have. 4-4-2 we get overrun in midfield. It does not work end of. I would also say Koumas is superior to Cannon, faster, cleverer and better footballer. |

The expectations of Lawal are ridiculously high. Agreed. He's got experience playing for a league two side, he's making a huge jump up in level so he's hardly going to boss things from the start. |

I think we need to sign a striker capable of playing up top on his own. Get rid of Wnnis to create space in the squad. He won't be on much and we will probably loan him out for nothing so money wise that doesn't work however would still get him out of the door anyway as he's not good enough Tezgel should get the minutes Ennis has had Tezgal needs to go out on loan in January. |

I've seen him play a few times for the Irish Under 21's, and he stood out. His movement is good. He's quick, and has a very good engine.
I met Stephen Kenny - former manager of the Irish Senior team - at a book launch recently, and I asked him about Lawal. He said he's got everything to be a really top player; he was surprised that Celtic let him go so cheaply, when he has so much potential.
His only concern was that Lawal doesn't impose himself as much has he should, given his physical stature.
Oh, Kenny also said that Enda Stephens is a fantastic pro, and a great player, even at 34. In fairness, I think even the begrudgers on this board have copped onto that now.

4231 seems the best compromise to me, with Moran in front of Seko and Burger, and later Seko and Lawal.

We’ve just got to be patient with them both and especially Lawal.
He could easily not look close for the rest of the season and there’s good reason for it.
Is he actually training properly yet do we know?
We play Altrincham in that cup on the 2nd December and you’d think it’d be an ideal first game back even for 45 mins. But is 2/3 weeks too soon?

Why do you think Lawal is good enough to start immediately, don’t get all this hype over a player who’s done so little. Think Gallagher and Cannon would only start in the 442/424 we saw when he was fit. But we’ve seemed much better with 3 in midfield. We’ve been playing the same formation, just with Moran as one of the two up front. When we made subs it was Manhoef/Koumas as the second. It’s funny how people can watch the same game and come to different conclusions isn’t it. |

Was quoted as saying hopefully ready in 3 weeks from Saturday.That’s ambitious if you ask me. |

Stevens is quality, better going forward than I expected as well.
