Recruitment - Buying another brand new team .. 10:56 - Dec 14 with 763 viewsBellevue_Blue

Realistically, if by some miracle we do go up, we are going into next season needing starters at every position besides LB, CDM & RCB.

How after spending 200M in two years we are in that position I will never be able to understand.

We’re definitely in the early phase of 2022, the Scott Fraser, Joe Pigott, Matt Penney, Rekee Harper era.

Players that we have bought in for the build that don’t fit for us.

It’s very rare you build a brand new team from scratch a get it right instantly.

Lots of players that don’t work, need to move them on, as I’ve repeated, we need to renovate the rebuild. January around the corner allows us to start that.

We can't just keep buying a new team each summer. Someone has to take responsibility for the awful recruitment. How on earth have we gone from the free flowing football of a couple of years ago to this.

Yep, I'm not sure there's a team in history, let alone us, that can just cut and paste the perfect new team and be done like on champ manager in my youth. Even our 'successes' from the prem were a case of almost making do or at least seeing what worked best over what they were bought for. Delap was potentially going to be a more wide player, and omari dabbled with central vs wing. Teams evolve and change and accepting this doesn't mean it's any less frustrating and annoying, just realistic.

I still think we've got the bare bones of a great team. I don't think many can argue with that, apart from when they've just lost and played rubbish! O Shea, Davis, matusiwa, philogene, Egeli, Nunez, Clarke. Yes they've been inconsistent amd disjointed and lacking confidence and all of that but that's a top draw bunch to build a team round and the next layer down of kipre furlong greaves cajuste Taylor Walton/Palmer etc aren't terrible players, and a lot of the 'flops' didn't become instantly bad.

It's as you say, remould, rework, a couple more key guys, move some out and maybe pray it all works out.!!

If we don’t go up there will also be rebuilding required.

The loan players will be gone and there will be others who we will have to sell to keep the accountants happy.

It will be interesting if we don't go up to see who goes where. It's conceivable that Jaden, Clarke, and Egeli, possibly Davis, even O Shea, Matusiwa if his form continues, all go to top flight clubs. From a poor season. That's the strange thing in many ways. We have good players that will remain good players and we're not bombing out, we're just a shrug of inconsistency and mediocrity.

Even if we don't go up, there will be some massive rebuilding to do. We are at least 5 players short of a strong first XI.

NEW GK
NEW RB
O'Shea
New CB
Davis
Matusiwa
NEW CM
Walle-Egeli
Nunez
Philogene
NEW ST

Don't mean to pile in on the misery, but Davis isn't untouchable.

If we go up again we need to defend more and defend better. Davis could 'easily' be replaced a genuine physical defender in that slot. I think McKenna would be loyal, but it's not totally unlikely.

It will be a good problem to have but the fact our obligations to buy sit on our bench also speaks volumes.

I know it’s unpopular to critics KM but he’s the manager, it’s his shortlist, it’s the players he wanted. Okay, he missed out on targets as well but so do most clubs. KM has to take responsibility for the signings. MA for the over inflated prices such as McAteer.

The way we played yesterday I will happily drive most of them if we find some willing takers.

I love LD like the next Town fan but he's somewhat overrated. I've read posts on this forum questioning what more he has to do to get into the England side.

Our best player last season was Tuanzebe followed by Delap and Hutchinson. The fact that they are still playing in the Premier League is little surprise, that's how it works.

Gone are the days when you can stay up in the top flight without significant overhaul of the promoted squad.

With respect, that's entirely the reactionary nonsense we're dealing with every week. We're clearly not getting the right tune out of them week in week out and it's been a less than positive start but they are not bad players in the main and we are 5th top not 5th bottom. Yes we need to tweak and change but come on now, don't be silly.

It is yes which is why I prefaced it with how we played yesterday.

Everyone is allowed to be irrationally p1ssd off from time to time though!!!

Im still furious. Worst display of the KM era?
