Strikers at the club.......

Cole, Iseka, Marsh, Norwood, Aitchinson, Tedic, could also put Thomas in that group, 6/7 strikers is a lot to be carrying even more so if we’re wanting another too, unless we sell or some go on loan I can’t see us getting anyone......a think I’ll get pelted here but a do think that once they get off the mark a think we’ll be ok, if this Tedic carries a presence in the air it’ll certainly give us another outlet instead of hopeful punts forward.......I have full faith in the manager and the board (Pelter No2) to do the right thing, as much as we all want that quality goal scoring proven striker at the club, 1) we haven’t much cash & 2) so do the other 72 EFL clubs too!!

 

Agree, but Cole an Marsh could be used as wingers an Aitchison, attacking midfield, thats how i'd play em, Iseka, Norwood an Tedic as Strikers, an thomas in same role as Aitchison.

 

I agree the effort now being put in from Aitchison Cole Norwood Marsh Thomas is brilliant to see and when the goals start coming and the pressure drops from getting that 1st goal anyone of them can go on a run.
Tedic could be decent and Iseka we know has talent if he can add the work rate set by Duff then all of it together should be enough and Marsh Aitchison are given the game time to develop in to good playrrs.

 

Do you think we’re wanting too much for our players or a genuine case of we just can’t get shut? Danger we have with Styles and Hekik is they go for free next summer or we play them both to give us our strongest XI and they may attract attention in January? Certainly at the back if Helik does stop were then top heavy on defence too and for Helik must play if he’s fit!! As for Iseka if he is going to stop let’s get the lad some game time and try to make use of the 5 subs like we did C19 season

 

We don't play wingers though.

 

Cole we could do with finding a buyer for. Same for Iseka. Norwood was never the answer. Neither was Tedic. Marsh and Aitchinson are not yet regular starters quality.

 

When I first saw Marsh last season a thought, this las looks no bigger than my eldest daughter but what I’ve seen this season is that he’s got the ball and naturally looks fine goal, a thought on Wednesday at Middlesbrough he was great and unlucky not to get 2, after watching the highlights again from yesterday that effort of Aitchinson’s, he actually had the nous to try n send the ball the other way as the keeper and defender were coming at him but just got the execution wrong, it was definitely a time to stick laces through it but hey ho

 

Cole, iseka and tedic need shifting out for me. Two are simply not good enough and the other seems unwanted and pointless loan signing of a player. At least usually when we sign untested kids that go into the development squad it's on a long contract not a loan.

Marsh and aichinson are good young players, the kind who should be getting minutes but not being relied upon as starting every week.

I think up front we need to shift 3 out and bring 2 in

 

So all 6 are ***** in a nutshell then?

 

Be unfair to shift Tedic out, he’s only been here 2 week

 

I reckon any strikers we do bring in won’t be the ones we initially wanted and we will probably end up with 2nd or 3rd choices we seem to have hit a wall with regards to signing players and that is ultimately costing us points.

 

To be fair to him I don't think it's his fault or anything just that if we are paying for him to be here it seems a little pointless. If he's free then it's a good thing, if we are contributing I just can't see what benefit there is to us.

He's a prime example of why I think loan rules need tightening. Poor lad will never get a proper shot anywhere while ever he's at a big club who can constantly loan him out year after year.

 

What I don't get with Tedic is that he arrived around the start of the season but he's not deemed match fit. How does that happen? Can't Man City afford a proper pre season for non first teamers???

 

I don't understand that either. I know he hasn't had OUR pre season but surely man citys pre season should be better than ours

 

I don't get how you can be 22 and not fit enough to play a football game.

 

Maybe we ought, nowt wrong wi changeing stuff rarnd in a game an playing to ya strengths, in our case playing wi wot you av

 

Aitchison played the attacking midfield role last year for FGR and I think he'll end up sharing that job with Luke Thomas. If it does look like we're off of the pace for the playoffs then I think we aim to get Marsh and Jalo enough time to aid their development.

 

Players talk about fit and match fit but i would suspect its more to do with Tedic fitting in with playing in league 1 and learning Duffs style of play, im sure its a bit different to Man City u23s so i would expect it will be a while until he is given a chance in the first team like Vita last season.
