Ben Folami 12:37 - Jul 4 with 4188 views | clive_baker | How likely is he to stake a claim next season do we think? With the purse strings no doubt being tightened for obvious reasons, I was giving some thought to our forward options on my morning bike ride today. Absolutely key that we get Norwood fit, he looked off the pace for a lot of last season, but I still think he and Jackson could strike up a decent partnership. With Keane gone, not a decision I disagree with FWIW, that only really leaves Freddie as another senior striker, and he's as likely to be deployed wider. He's also had injuries of his own so it'll be interesting to see if he can find anything close to his pre injury form. Potentially leaves a decent amount of football for Simpson, Folami, Morris. Tyreece has the physical advantage in that he really is what we lacked at times last season, but I wondered which of these is most likely to stake a claim do we think? Morris and Folami are 21 now, they're young but they're not kids. It feels like a great opportunity for them. | |

As others have said we have the 5th best defence in the league and the 11th best attack, the problems are we just don’t create enough. | | | |

Ben Folami on 23:09 - Jul 4 by bournemouthblue | I still think we need a bit more, we have no plan b against the more physical organised sides How many goals did we score from free kicks or corners? Yes Garbutt banged a few in but with his delivery, we should have been scoring a lot more headers than we did |
We had no plan A, let alone a plan B. After a great start we came unstuck against virtually everyone we played whether they were more organised (a management issue, not a player issue) more physical or played better football than us. Our major issues were a lack of creativity, a lack of tempo and having no real pattern of play. [Post edited 5 Jul 2020 9:17]

Not sure it was just creativity as we did miss a lot of chances .Perhaps need to create a few more and also miss a few less . Its a simple game really . Find it hard that PL decided against Murth and Tommy 'cos they had been here before ! | | | |

I think Wolfy might have scored a header against Lincoln also? But if you add some extra goals via headers from set pieces, you're probably scoring 5 - 10% more goals and that adds up across a season | |

Yeah he did. I don’t have a problem with not bringing on Tommy Smith, the thought of Smith and Wilson hoofing it for 90 minutes is not one I want to dwell on, we need another centre half who is comfortable on the ball. The defence isn’t an issue it’s scoring and creating. Murphy is interesting one we could do with that type of player but I don’t believe we should ever go back we’d be adding to the wage bill with no real selling value. | | | |

If we signed Tommy Smith he’d be the best ball playing centre half at the club, he can play more than most think and only really looked uncomfortable on the ball when asked to play on the right of the pairing. | | | |

He'd be solid in League One, no question about it I wonder if we'll go back in for him. He's also potential captain material once Chambo moves on | |

We need our heads testing if we don't sign him. His missus has just given birth and is a local girl so expect he'd snap our hands off for a deal. | | | |

Ben Folami on 15:37 - Jul 4 by PhilTWTD | Heard whispers we were interested in him but I think Forest recalled him from Lincoln to add their their options up front. |
He was lined up for us, but Giroud to Newcastle got pulled late which meant Dwight Gayle to Forest and subsequently Walker to us fell through | |

So would we have had him alongside Norwood and Jackson or instead of Norwood perhaps? | |
