At the moment opposition midfielders and full backs are running past our midfield. No defense can hold out for ever in those circumstances and is why I believe Cullen is the player we have missed the most. Pace up front keeps the defense back at home and creates a bit of space for your attacking midfield.RedChaser said:
At the moment we have to score 3 on average to win a game! I'd rather win 1-0 so we'll have to beg to differ. Bryan can play DM btw which still leaves room for a striker as I see Green as a replacement for Leko.Redrobo said:
I don’t agree. The defense was OK before the injuries in midfield and we have cover.RedChaser said:We have enough defenders but not enough quality IMO. Pearce is a good leader by example and always gives his all but unfortunately a penalty waiting to happen. And the QPR lad tore him a new one when setting up their second when he was trying to grapple instead of tackle. Nabby has his pros and cons but those cons can be very costly and have been.
Yes defending starts from the front and some people are saying it'll all be ok when we get an experienced midfield back. Maybe, however what I do know is that we need to start keeping clean sheets asap and I say again signing an experienced CB at this level will be key to this if we are to start climbing the table.
Don't concede and not only do you not lose but you stand a better chance of winning 😉.
We do not have any experienced strikers at the moment and none due back any day soon. You must score to win a game. If there are only two more to come in then a striker and a defensive midfield is what I think we need.
All about opinions, but I bet a whole shinny shilling that if Bows signs just 3 players that he says he wants, it will not include a center half.
We have Green. I expect a striker and a defensive midfielder.
If we sign more than 3 I still bet that we don’t bring in a center half.1 -
This would do for me Matt and should be enough with the returnees to get us up to mid table safety 👍.mattinfinland said:

you know yourself though G crossing is a full backs bread and butter, amazes me how crap they are at this element of their roll on pitch.ValleyGary said:Cullen can definitely cross a ball, but just not from the treatment room.
Anyway, the closer it gets to Saturday, the more I'm warming towards the Blackpool lad. Long term, i don't see him as the solution to scoring goals at Championship Level, but needs must at the moment.
Cullen can cross a ball yes but how many times do you want to see your CM on the wing in case play breaks down.0 -
I reckon we'll get two in today.If we don't hear about any signings today, Twitter is going to be an even bigger cess pit than usual, what with the 12pm deadline for Saturday's game...I am absolutely not worried, becuase I'm very much still of the opinion that 21st is a massive achievement1

Not sure. The Blackpool guy, Bonne, Hemed, Aneke and Green might be enough.CH4RLTON said:

Yeah a full backs main attacking responsibility is being able to get a decent ball in the box.Charltonparklane said:

I meant Cullen more for set piece deliveries.1 -
Whats your thoughts on the following strikers I think we should be looking at in this window ? - Sam Baldock , Connor Wickham and Leigh Griffiths ( Celtic ) - I think all 3 would be decent for us.0

Aneke is a number 10 not a striker, LB himself said he cannot play as a striker. Green is a winger who we may decide to play through the middle a bit. If taylor goes we absolutely need another Striker and it should be one we spend a fair bit on imo, certainly at least what we get for Lyle.cafcfan1990 said:

But he can be used as a striker, if we are going 2 players for every position, he is 3rd choice "Number 10" and 5th choice striker. I doubt we will have more than 4 strikers with Aneke and Davison as cover.
Green may well be a winger but we will be playing him upfront. The Blackpool guy is replacing Taylor IMO.

Wickham is needed at Palace, he would only leave if they sign 2 strikers. Don't think Griffiths can cut it at Champ Level. Unsure on Baldock although we liked him in the summer so wouldn't rule it out.SwingForward said:Whats your thoughts on the following strikers I think we should be looking at in this window ? - Sam Baldock , Connor Wickham and Leigh Griffiths ( Celtic ) - I think all 3 would be decent for us.

I agree in terms of quality, but not quantity. I would be surprised if we sign another one and end up with 6 first teamers who can play upfront.BR7_addick said:

I agree, but we played Leko as a striker. Yes Green is a winger by trade but we are not going to play him as a winger so we have to count him as one of our strikers.JaysusTheJay said:cafcfan1990 said:

Yes he would have to double his tally, but how many had Leko scored before he came to us?

If LT goes and the blackpool guy is the only replacement there will be uproar and rightly so. ESI have said they needed to make sure they owned the club in January to ensure we stay up, if selling your best player and replacing with the blackpool guy is what they do then they would have been better off stearing clear until the summer.2

I think Green is more a replacement for Kayal and blackpool guy a replacement for leko (not in terms of exact positions but in terms of midfielders/strikers. That would still mean needing a proper replacement for LT if he goes - simple.1

Green is Leko's replacement as Bowyers already alluded to that - Blackpool guy will effectively be an extra body compared to last seasonCovered_End_Lad said:I think Green is more a replacement for Kayal and blackpool guy a replacement for leko (not in terms of exact positions but in terms of midfielders/strikers.

Green isn't a replacement for Kayal, definitely Leko. Blackpool striker will either be an extra body or a replacement for Lyle. If Taylor and Leko depart and we sign two, they have been replaced.Covered_End_Lad said:I think Green is more a replacement for Kayal and blackpool guy a replacement for leko (not in terms of exact positions but in terms of midfielders/strikers.

I do agree, but he's been signed to play as a striker. On the day we signed him I raised the point that I would have preferred an out and out striker.JaysusTheJay said:cafcfan1990 said:

The problem is, if we lose Taylor and Gallagher it is unlikely that we will replace them with anybody of the same quality at this stage of the season. This means that even if Cullen and Williams were fit again we would be weaker than we were at the end of August.
A striker and an attacking midfielder are the minimum we need just to get anywhere near a squad that can survive.1 -

I don't think we will lose Gallagher. But the point is valid about quality. The issue is that we have quality v quantity. Like with the strikers having 4 strikers is fine, but when one of them is a winger and one is Hemed than it puts massive pressure on someone like Bonne. Probably the reason we simply cannot afford to lose Taylor this window.Southbank said:The problem is, if we lose Taylor and Gallagher it is unlikely that we will replace them with anybody of the same quality at this stage of the season.

I am going to sound like an old fart but I remember saying to my wife at a recent game that they should have Keith Peacock and Paddy Powell run a couple of training sessions on how to cross the ball.Sillybilly said:
Yup. Our wing backs are rubbish at it. The double irony Is that our best crosser from the wing is Lyle who should be in the middle to get in the end of them.Now, a crosser of the ball at the valley would be a thing of beauty to watch.
