JP the Fox Posted 17 January 2015 Posted 17 January 2015 As always we never know what's going on behind the scenes when it comes to transfers, i'd like to believe that Nige has got his fingers in some pukka pies, however, I feel that a lot of time has been spent trying to push this kramaric deal through (hopefully worth it) but we have less than half of the window left to buy an experienced yet pacey centre back and a consistent left back. Who should we buy with the time left?
theessexfox Posted 17 January 2015 Posted 17 January 2015 Pearson and staff can work on other deals at the same time as Kramaric deal.
Charl91 Posted 17 January 2015 Posted 17 January 2015 Defending wasn't our problem today. It was our lack of ambition, appalling midfield and toothless strike-force.
JP the Fox Posted 17 January 2015 Author Posted 17 January 2015 Pearson and staff can work on other deals at the same time as Kramaric deal. If that is the case then fantastic
Renart Posted 17 January 2015 Posted 17 January 2015 Pearson and staff can work on other deals at the same time as Kramaric deal. No way! Football managers cannot multitask!
JP the Fox Posted 17 January 2015 Author Posted 17 January 2015 Defending wasn't our problem today. It was our lack of ambition, appalling midfield and toothless strike-force. A midfielder then?
EGBFitness Posted 17 January 2015 Posted 17 January 2015 Defending wasn't our problem today. It was our lack of ambition, appalling midfield and toothless strike-force. Agree. I think defensively we were ok, stood off Stoke and gave them probably a little too much space but as a whole weren't bad. Konch is clearly the weak link- when will the Konch lovers & Pearson see this?! We require better CMs than defenders IMO
BigWesMorgan Posted 17 January 2015 Posted 17 January 2015 What was wrong with the defense today. Barely anything in the first half and a couple of halves in the second. Settled by a great Bojan goal. But, It does need to be bolstered. Not just because of this game though.
Tielemans63 Posted 17 January 2015 Posted 17 January 2015 If we don't sign an LB then I give up. I'm a huge fan of Pearson but how and why we're persisting with Konch is beyond me. IMHO he was the weakest member of our first team last season so why he is out there getting torn a new one each week at the highest level I have no idea.
Webbo Posted 17 January 2015 Posted 17 January 2015 The goal came from a brilliant strike outside the box, I don't think the defence did a lot wrong. I can only remember 1 other shot on target.

He weren't even getting in the squad last season Schlupp was more regular at LB and was solid there. Konch is terrible and has been weak link all season, how and why he gets in each week is beyond me especially when he wasn't good enough to be playing in the championship last season
GaelicFox Posted 17 January 2015 Posted 17 January 2015 She spine if team is still weak in two if the 3 areas Midfield is still championship quality they just are not good enough , engines too small and missing the game driving that's needed in that sector The goal shows we have a very average defence , all stood off him in the box and too much room was able to slot home New boy looks ok , makes runs knocky works very hard at the moment Wasn't a great performance But once again wasn't terrible Splash the cash !!!!
GaelicFox Posted 17 January 2015 Posted 17 January 2015 The goal came from a brilliant strike outside the box, I don't think the defence did a lot wrong. I can only remember 1 other shot on target. Both stood off him and gave him too much room to get shot off Should have been much tighter Can get away with it in championship Not at this level
cityfanlee23 Posted 17 January 2015 Posted 17 January 2015 It's pretty simple. The defence are a disgrace to football the majority of the time... The midfield have to compensate and drop back (But aren't good enough anyway) The strikers get NO service. To have absolutely ANY hope of staying up we NEED A Centreback - Corluka or Davies Left back - Ollson? Battling Central midfielder - Yacob and mulumbu are out of contract in summer last time I checked (not sure if they will get a pulis contract) Fail to strengthen in those 3 positions we are down. No argument.

Who should we buy with the time left?Conceded one goal from open play in five gamesNo doubt players being worked on, but it's tough to get players who will improve especially in January. And as for comment above about strikers getting no service We've created enough chances to win 25 games in the past few games Usual reactionary nonsense after one poor performance
cityfanlee23 Posted 17 January 2015 Posted 17 January 2015 The goal came from a brilliant strike outside the box, I don't think the defence did a lot wrong. I can only remember 1 other shot on target. Without a decent defence the midfield have to drop back, and If you think giving bojan that much space is not a crime I am shocked. good defenders can read players.
Tielemans63 Posted 17 January 2015 Posted 17 January 2015 He weren't even getting in the squad last season Schlupp was more regular at LB and was solid there. Konch is terrible and has been weak link all season, how and why he gets in each week is beyond me especially when he wasn't good enough to be playing in the championship last season Konch played 34 times last season - nearly all starts. Not too bad for a guy who can't get into the squad!
adamlcfcbevo85 Posted 17 January 2015 Posted 17 January 2015 I see it every week why don't we close down players , you need to keep the pressure up on teams in the prem it forces mistakes when you sit back like we do we let in goals , defenders need to be brought all in all lost to a team that wanted it more I thought it was a crap display of football from our lads onto the next one !
Babylon Posted 17 January 2015 Posted 17 January 2015 Sod defence after today a bloody CM is needed more.
lee7 Posted 17 January 2015 Posted 17 January 2015 A LB is definitely needed! I didn't see today's game so can't comment on koncheskys performance but in other games the amount of times he needlessly gives it away is astonishing.
kingfox Posted 17 January 2015 Posted 17 January 2015 Bring back De Laet for Simpson and get a new LB.
lcfcsnow Posted 17 January 2015 Posted 17 January 2015 We might not be conceding many but that's because the defence are set to defend in FM terms. No support from the full backs has taken away that extra threat we used to have when De Laet and Schlupp used to play full back. A horribly weak central midfield partnership resulted in poor distribution from the back as well.
lukedlcfc Posted 17 January 2015 Posted 17 January 2015 Put RDL at Lb or push schlupp back (although he's been one of our most effective attackers recently).
