Hopefully one lesson from last season is a goalkeeper is one of if not the most important positions in any PL side….if we go up Jakub will have to go out on loan as playing to develop is key - he will not be ready to be a back up. The gap to the PL is huge and Mads has potential but the step up will be a test and we will need lots of investment to be mid-table and not come straight back and a new keeper will be key imo ……not as a No.1 but certainly competing or reliable enough to step in…..a keeper like Dubravka or someone with experience

We’re not going to be investing anywhere near what people think or want. There will likely be no backup keeper. We will go with what we’ve got. 3 maybe 4 half decent additions and I think that will be our lot. Next year will be tough, very tough.

He’s very good. We’re just spoilt by Mads’ level of distribution, which would be up there with the best in the Premier League let alone the championship.

IF your correct it will be unlikely we will stay up as the way we play will require significant upgrades and the league will be tougher next season than this one imo

Fuching horrendous experience. Get him off of the books even if you have to give him away. Truly atrocious - still looks shite even in the warm up

Yeah he needs to realise it isn’t dodgeball

It’s hard for a keeper that never plays. The pressure he will have felt today is immense, even if only FA 3rd round. Plays the ball quite well, good shot stopper, planted to learn but I’d be happy with him as second choice.

I have contested & pinched you over a few points,running over the New Year,but I agree totally with you on this..

And next season will be tough,even with decent additions…and for a long time

found some decent outside youth & Academy.

This in reality is our „Also rans“  status best chance to hope that this type of

squad with Enzo-system can give us a break,and a chance to hold our own,and

challenge..above our weight ( :giggle:)…

 

I support my club of birth,like most & that’s what counts…hoping they can deliver occasionally those dreams we aspire to has a football fan..

AND yet it’s those Tough paths,that makes each season support worthwhile.

 

If Enzo,wants & is willing to give us 4-5yrs of his early managerial career,I am confident he has the awareness,skill,luck,discipline to take us with HIS system,

onto our next period of a successfull journey…

 

I don’t know why,but every week he makes his choices in selection,I trust and believe he’s got the players to stand up the gameday challenge,creating and building an ethos and character for further escapades…


Even other competitors for top 4, including Farke accept we are one step ahead of

this League in quality…but staying on an even Kiel while under  Enzo remaining humble respectfull opponents..We can be cut & hurt,lose the odd skirmish,but still keep our strongest competitor at arms length.


About End of November,unlike with last seasons star players, Enzo in a short time

had grabbed hold  of the squad of mixed all sorts,adding his own well considered neccesities creating not individual stars but alround quality squad .and laying out a blueprint of a system,that draws the opposition in our foxes embrace…

The future will tell,but with @StriderHiryu explaining the simplicity of our tactics,

we have found another Italian who can project us into higher echelons of the PL

Ranieri was presented with his layout, Enzo is creating,putting out and wisely and canningly testing all his rescources under the guise of , a game at a time,a player at a time..moving well into the 2nd part of the season , I see for the first time in years no terrible or drastic weaknesses in squad,individual players or set up.

Each player has leaned from the system within,and made progress in their performances…AFCON/Asia-cup will not unsettle us.

There will simply be no collapse or wavering of our /Enzo‘s aspiration..

I believe in the man, that also has youth with experience on his side has a manager..

It's because we had an elite coach who knows more about the game than anyone else. Obviously Ward is world class but just misunderstood. 

 

And, apparently, according to the likes of Merson and Warnock, this same genius coach - who recognised Ward's brilliance - would have also kept us up last season, had we not got rid of him. 

Lets face it had Ward been dropped earlier we would have stopped up

I don't recall Iversen being any better, and he couldn't even kick the ball straight!

 

Both played behind a shocking defence, part of a team poorly managed and motivated.
