All complete ***** signings as it’s turned out. Blame firmly lies with the previous board sadly for me.
Moore has done okay and him Potts maybee cavare and Malian will be fine next season. Mcgheen was always a gamble after a horror injury was hoping he would of got more game time at scunny. Does kransmuller even assist?
I'd agree that we should be aiming for an immediate return to the championship and anything less would be failure. In regards of Moore he certainly does seem to miss a lot of ''easy' chances, some of them being of the harder to miss than score nature. I don't know if he was the same at Rotherham or whether the reduced standard in quality in league one meant that he scores more often so the bad misses get masked.
Moore started off like a house on fire by the time we signed him his spree was over so it’s hard to tell if it was just a streak or whether he will be a consistent scorer in L1. I tend the think he will score a decent amount but will need a prolific partner. The standard of defending is different look at Adam Armstrong and Will Grigg both awful in the Championship but bang them in for fun in L1. Anything less than top 2 will be a failure. The goalposts hVe changed with the new owners and other than Sunderland we will easily have the most expensively assembled squad. A good manager is key and getting more pace into the side alongside some quality in midfield.
Pace is definitely key, which is one of the reasons I'd be looking to offload Bradshaw. Decent player at that level but not overly quick, coming to the end of his contract, and pretty sure we'll be able to recoup the 750k we paid for him. Someone like Reading Bolton or one of the promoted clubs will probably take a punt on him. I'd actually rather have Armstrong playing off Moore in League 1 than Bradshaw.
I think we need an new striker if we are going to gain promotion. I agree Bradshaw & Moore could do a job. Maybe Adeboyejo and / or Brown can step up. I'd be happy for Thiam to move on to be honest. Our finishing has been nearly as horrendous as our defending. No wonder we have been relegated. Some hard decisions to make. We'll need to cut our losses on quite a few IMO. Quality, rather than quantity next season is needed.
Quality rather then quantity is the key phrase for me. We used the most players of any club in the Championship this season. Something like 35. It’s no good when they’re all just a slightly different shade of grey, you still end up with a gray wall. We need to recruits a good spine and dress the rest with what we’ve got.
football is a team game! if everybody defends and attacks together as a unit they all look good, if everyone does what they want they all look ****, you can't just throw 11 random players together at this level, if you're gunna buy Kieffer Moore then train the ******* midfielders and fullbacks how to cross a ball, and spend all day practicing attacking and defending set pieces or something not dicking around with 6 a side all week like Jose has
