Libertine Posted 20 April 2011 Posted 20 April 2011 Please pick younger Sven!!! Old Journeymen do not work!!!!!! Most of his loans have been very young players.
Narborough_fox Posted 20 April 2011 Posted 20 April 2011 Gray (I'm just a young Chris Weale, one for the future) Naughton Vitor (Don't think we can get him though if we can't Williams) Mee Cunningham Pratley Wellens King Gallagher Yak / Heskey (Someone big and strong) Kakuta (Loan)
Darkon84 Posted 20 April 2011 Posted 20 April 2011 Don't know why so many people love Kebe, I've not thoroughly watched this guy but he should have put away 5 sitters against us, maybe he was having an off game but wouldnt want those sorta chances being missed if it was my team. I think my kind of realistic dream team would be Scott Loach Naughton Mee Hobbs Cunningham Gallagher King Wellens Shane Long Graham Taarabt Bench: Bamba Waghorn Abe Sinclair Gradel You say you dont know too much about Kebe, well you dont appear to know too much about football if you were being serious by putting Gradel and Taaarabt in your team. (Sorry if that seemed really mean, but seriously, come on)
David Guiza Posted 20 April 2011 Posted 20 April 2011 Realistically I think Westwodd will move to the Prem but other than that I believe the new players are realistic. Gabbidon and Faye may be getting on but someone like that would add experience. Norris has always been a great midfielder at this level. And Nugent is lethal at this level, and we need championship players not young premier league players. QPR have proved that. Westwood/ Lonergan/ Speroni Naughton/Peltier Faye Mee/Gabiddon Cunningham Norris Wellens King Kamara/Barnes Nugent Gallagher Weale Bamba Hobbs Abe Waghorn Moussa Schlupp
artursteppe Posted 20 April 2011 Posted 20 April 2011 Ok. Let us try and work out what has gone wrong:- 1. Poor goalkeeping. 2. A distinct lack of defensive midfield quality. 3. Other things, like not taking chances/ poor finishing/ inadequate strikers. Solution:- 1. Get a new quality goalkeeper or two. 2. Never, ever play Wellens, King and Gallagher in the same team together. It DOESN'T work against hard working, strong, physical opposition who close down spaces. ( Like the worst 'away' team in any league in the country this season, Crystal Palace - lost 16 from 21 ). It only works against other powder puff teams who want to play a pretty game of football, with wide open spaces and no tackling. ( Like Burnley or Doncaster etc etc ). Everything has gone pear shaped since half time in the home match against Derby in Feb. Clough discovered that closing down, tackling hard, working hard and being physical was the way to stop our bunch of lightweights playing football. Most other managers have simply followed suit, it has been that easy for every team we've played in the last couple of months. NB:- We have only won three ( Bristol City - just, S****horpe and Burnley - when Kamara had an obvious effect in his first game ) of the last eleven matches since Derby. ( Please note I think Yuki Abe and Oakley have done as well as any of us could hope for in the circumstances, when both are all round midfielders not necessarily defensive ). In short, and in Sven's defence, this only really became apparent after the January transfer window. I really hope Sven knows the deficiencies that are so obvious in relation to Wellens, King and Gallagher. They may all be quite good players going forward, but that is all you get. My grandson is three years old today and he could kick shit out of all three at the same time! We could keep them all, but only have one in the same line-up. Now might be the best time to sell at least one while their value is more than their worth!
sdb Posted 20 April 2011 Posted 20 April 2011 Some coo-coo fans about! We need a keeper above all else. A right back and a striker. They're the essentials. A left back and centre back would be good too. Westwood/Sorensen/Myhill Naughton we all hope Yak/Kamara/Heskey - maybe 2 of them One of each position would have us looking very strong. We don't need a complete overhaul!

Now might be the best time to sell at least one while their value is more than their worth! Just thought I'd post it again 'cos it is vital that Sven realises the situation this summer. I think he will, but if he doesn't we will definitely be looking for a new manager. We will NOT get promoted with two strikers plus King, Gallagher and Wellens in the starting line up together.
Haydos Posted 20 April 2011 Posted 20 April 2011 What does Vassell or Dyer have over Gallagher that means they should play ahead of him despite him being much more valuable to us? I also think with a kick up the arse and a serious reminder of his defensive duties (mainly closing down and tracking back) Wellens could be much more valuable in midfield meaning even if he doesn't improve physically, King could be carried if we had a much more aggressive defensive midifelder.
Kermorgant Posted 20 April 2011 Posted 20 April 2011 Stockdale-looking like a good player Naughton-we all love him Bamba Mee-best loanee Cunningham-liked him alot SWP-as we saw with kebe on Saturday pace in this league is key king-off form but hes capable wellens-same as king gally-key player when he wants to be Yak-as frustrating and fat and poor as he is sometimes when he plays well he causes alot of problems in this league A striker who can finish:owen?keane? and as filthy as he is Marlon king-Too be fair he can finish

daveyboy Posted 20 April 2011 Posted 20 April 2011 Weale / (or new keeper) New right back (Naughton hopefully) Bamba Tunch New left back / Berner Wellens Abe King Schlupp / Moussa New striker / Vassell (I quite like him through the middle) Gally Based on what we have currently... We do have a decent core to build on, especially the centre midfield; although clearly very little depth once all our loanees go back. I also reckon Bamba and Tunch at the back could be fairly balanced (fitness allowing); one left -footed and one right, composure in Tunch and pace in Bamba.
Simmo86 Posted 21 April 2011 Posted 21 April 2011 New Keeper New Right Back Mee Bamba New Left Back New Defensive Midfielder Wellens/King/Abe New Midfielder in the same mould as Moussa (maybe even him if good enough) who has pace and can run with the ball. Gally New Striker Kamara
marbelladave Posted 21 April 2011 Posted 21 April 2011 First the assumptions, Sven stays with us and decides to play modern, attacking football. So who have we actually got who would be likely to hold down a place next season? Keeper. No one, Ricardo was only ever an energency and Weale a backup at best, new keeper required. Defence. Bamba to start, no-one else. Hobbs will leave (Hull?), Parkes on the bench. Of the loanees, Naughton and Vitor will go to bigger clubs and the Chelsea boys go home. Mee would be a great aquisition, loan or permenant. In addition we need two full backs, some experience would be good too. Midfield. King will hopefully stay, the rest I am not too fussed about. Wellens maybe, depending on who else is available. We need a strong, physical type to complement King as the central pairing and a proper play maker in front of them. Wellens and Abe, if they stay, as backup. Forwards. Could well be all change here too. Yakubu blows hot and cold and is expensive, rather see Vassel lead the line. Gallagher for all his faults is a very influential player so gets the nod on the left, no idea for the right. Waghorn and Dyer on the bench with Schlupp. I would let The Yak go, keep Kamara if the deal is right. So of the players we actually have under contract, I can see just 3 or 4 starters, from the squad i would like to see Schlupp, Moussa and Waghorn given a decent chance in pre-season but otherwise some serious rebuilding. One further point, for all his ability, Sven is not a great matchday coach, motivation, substitutions and changing games when things are not going well is not his strength, and so far does it not seem to be Faz's either. New first team coach to really take charge in the dressing room and from the sidelines.

FuriousFox46 Posted 21 April 2011 Posted 21 April 2011 Westwood Naughton - Vitor - Bamba - Mee SWP - Wellens - King - Gallagher Kamara - New Striker
Jimmy Posted 21 April 2011 Posted 21 April 2011 Westwood Naughton - Vitor - Bamba - Mee SWP - Wellens - King - Gallagher Kamara - New Striker that midfield would get destroyed
Simmo86 Posted 21 April 2011 Posted 21 April 2011 that midfield would get destroyed Oh yes!! Needs to be a 3 man centre midfield which includes a hardman!
marbelladave Posted 21 April 2011 Posted 21 April 2011 Wait till Kitchandro see's that!! His head will pop! Any particular bit that you think will upset him, or you for that matter? Doubt that Kitch will be all that bothered, likes a decent argument....
Jimmy Posted 21 April 2011 Posted 21 April 2011 Any particular bit that you think will upset him, or you for that matter? Doubt that Kitch will be all that bothered, likes a decent argument.... I think he read it as you saying replace Sven when you were actually saying bring in another coach
marbelladave Posted 21 April 2011 Posted 21 April 2011 I think he read it as you saying replace Sven when you were actually saying bring in another coach Absolutely not! Sven is a 'big picture' sort of manager, what we need is a matchday coach who can motivate the starting XI, change the game and make substitutions when required, with Chriss P. gone we probably have space on the staff. Get Faz to look after fitnes, new coach to work the tactics implementing Sven's stategy, good balance all round1
MikeyT Posted 21 April 2011 Posted 21 April 2011 We will not get promoted if sol bamba is a first choice center back.. Is amazing how views change. Not long ago he had a "Sol Bamba, new cult hero" thread. That wasn't a dig at you by the way, i should add.
Simmo86 Posted 21 April 2011 Posted 21 April 2011 Any particular bit that you think will upset him, or you for that matter? Doubt that Kitch will be all that bothered, likes a decent argument.... The bit about dropping Wellens. I totally agree with everything you said, pity we don't have more people that post stuff thats actually worth reading
