Were shiny and German
Distinctly at odds with

Paul Cook on 20:00 - Apr 10 by chrismakin | Problem is WKJ, sears did more when he came on than Drinan as a striker. And that's as bad as it is for us that our striking options are drinan and sears or deep forward hawkins |
Drinan is a central defender, not a striker. His pressing was top notch today, his distribution wasn't terrible, but his shooting was on brand or the club. Sears creates energy around him but is far too wasteful now. If i were to keep either one as backup it would be Drinan though. However, he really isn't a striker to me.

We pretty much have no frontline, that's the truth really, nothing at all. | |

I'm not entirely convinced that the problems are the front line. In the first half Ward was disgustingly bad, though improved in the second. However, nothing on those wings leads to quality shooting chances. If I was Cook, I would stick Edwards on the left as an inside forward and then get someone quality on the right who can cross - and then our frontline will get more than slow floaty crosses and sh*t passes while under pressure from 2 men. We need someone who cuts in from the wing, so we can play the ball around the edge of the box like nearly every other team in this division. No one can cross the ball consistently, we simply shouldn't be playing that way. [Post edited 10 Apr 2021 20:11]

Paul Cook on 19:53 - Apr 10 by Wicksy | Under Evans I'd agree this season is a dead duck. If we were fortunate enough to get promoted the squad would need a complete overhaul in order to have any chance of staying in the Championship. There's no way Evans would have funded that. However with the new owners they presumably would..? |
I'm not sure if I'm reading you right. But whatever happens (go up this season or not), I'm sure the new owners would put funds in to strengthen as they have stated. But the team isn't good enough NOW so there's nothing the new owners can do about that now to change matters for this season. | | | |
