Reply | How the squad is shaping up
at 16:13 28 Aug 2025
A large chunk of Davis' success was the general floaty-ness of Broadhead and Chaplin. One of those is now in Wales and the other isn't starting.
Think we'll be seeing much less of a reliance on Davis, and therefore he'll probably look less productive. |

Not sure.
Part of the promotion team, passionate, obviously got a thunderbolt on him (not that we've seen it enough). I can see him leaving and after a few weeks people saying we lack a Jack Taylor type player.
Humphreys could potentially step into his shoes but it's still early for him. I think in the right system and set up Taylor can be a dangerous attacking player. Both parties have just never totally suited each other. |

Can't expect to get your top targets every time.
Everyone plays this merry dance every summer where we all say want to get our business done early. No one really does and everything gets left late, unless you're a side that doesn't really do business or just splashes loads of cash, e.g Wrexham.
It's been a crap summer for us but this is a bit of fun isn't it? Nabbing a decent player off the scum. Look forward to October 5th. |

Am I missing something? Didn't Azor sign before we formally let Morsy go? |

He's got form.
But it was fine at the time because it was a dig at Lambert. |

This is where I am.
A 'wow' player who 'is Premier League level' should be scoring more than one goal in a whole season, even in a struggling team.
He'll be good but some have gone over the top with him. |

People will say we're aiming higher but I still wonder if we go for someone like Colby Bishop for the CF. We clearly have struggled to get our first choice targets.
CF
CM
RW - not essential in my view. We only feel we need a RW because of the quality we lost in Omari, in terms of options we're pretty healthy.
LB - again not 100% essential but would be nice to have. |

Didn't see it but I'll be honest I've never been a great fan. Cheating bar steward when at United, hell of a Tom Daly impression on him.
Also, and I'm sure some will scoff at this, but it really annoyed me against Southampton in stoppage time when we were (sort of) pushing for a winner, and he just wanted to get into a scrap with one of their players and subsequently waste our own time.
Looks like he'll be useful for us though. |

Reply | With Ogbene and McActeer on the right
at 01:04 25 Aug 2025
Think so but for now I can see us persisting with Philogene and Clarke and simply try to play them into form. If MacAteer can prove himself with good sub appearances he could force his way in, a bit like Hutchinson did.
Imagine we'll see something like this.
Palmer
Johnson O'Shea Greaves Davis
Azor Cajuste
Philogene Szmodics Clarke
Hirst
Regular subs:
Ogbene/MacAteer for Philogene
Chaplin/Akpom for Szmodics
Young for Johnson
Akpom/New CF for Hirst
Taylor/New CM for Cajuste
I think we'll have enough quality to win a lot of home games. Away performances probably won't be pretty on the whole, but they weren't in 23/24 either. We won a lot of scrappy games 1-0 that year. Question is whether we can muster enough togetherness to scrap, score the odd goal and see games out. |

Reply | What do we need most - another striker or a physical CM?
at 21:41 23 Aug 2025
Out of those options, a striker 100%. The more I think about it and seeing him today the more I think Akpom isn't really going to be used as a no.9. Hirst gets injured and we are royally bug*ered.
A busy midfielder, like Hackney dare I say, would be good though. |

I can't believe we couldn't even have offered him an extra year.
He was worth it. |

Thread | After the 23/24 season it feels like every dropped point
at 18:15 23 Aug 2025
Is a disaster.
And while today was bad, you'd be surprised if this season will require the same points tally as it did last time. Seeing some of the bigger teams struggling already suggests we can afford more dropped points. We only lost 6 games in that season.
Having said that, we feel a bit all over the place squad wise. It's incredible on paper, but not performing in reality. Needs a lot of fine tuning over the next few weeks so we can settle down.
Any talk or binning McKenna is nuts though.
Thanks. |

at 17:54 23 Aug 2025
Agreed. I've never watched a footballer and thought "he's got balls" as much or as many times as I did with Morsy. Some players could potentially do what he did in terms of driving and passing through lines, but they don't have the balls to do it.
Massive massive hole. |

at 10:28 23 Aug 2025
While obviously he would want a settled situation and unexpected manager changes aren't ideal, I think players probably 'get it' with modern football and how things change. I doubt he went there because he was desperate to play under Nuno.
Even if minutes are limited he's going to play PL football, probably Europa League too, and will earn silly money on a five year contract. |
