I guess we'll need to avoid Maatsen for the same reason if we were linked?
Really dont want us going after Gomez / Konsa / Lookman given how bad things were under Roland2 -
Apparently the guy reporting the Famewo news last night isn’t reliable so wouldn’t get hopes up3

NabySarr said:LTKapal said:I don't know where this Mitchell is slow nonsense has come from, he's not blistering fast but he's certainly not slow. From memory he's quicker than marginally quicker than Jones and slower than Ramsay... Other complaints on him are valid and I won't comment on but this pace thing is rubbish.If Mitchell stays then it would probably be as Jones backup in the central role, but personally think he will either leave or see very few minutes in league games.1

5/6 sounds ok tbh. If we get players in who genuinely impact the first XI.
Remember when we got promoted to the Prem in 99/00. We really only added Jensen, JJ, Kish.... plus Bartlett and Fish during the season. But they impacted and added something.
We are so off putting a 20 man squad together that can see us stay up next season its worrying.
The back 5 is pretty good & although we wont keep 20+ clean sheets this time around I have faith that they will keep enough to keep us competitive.
But then it all falls down.
Imo we need a playmaker in midfield (maybe we have one in our one & only signing so far ?) and a couple of wide men (one to replace Small and one cover for TC). Then we need at least 2, if not 3 strikers to replace Aneke, Ahadme, Kanu & Mbick.
For me we need at least 6 new players, and more like 8 or 9.
Probably wont happen. But if it does it needs to happen within the next 2 weeks. No point going to a training camp with half your starting 11 missing.
So hoping for the same this season. Because my mind always goes back to the Ben Reeves "is he, isnt he" signing. In the end he signed just as the season kicked off, didnt have a proper pre-season and he/we suffered for it all that season.
Sign or dont sign, I dont care.....just dont fuck us about.2 -

Alex Mitchell reminds me of Matt Taylor from the Powell title season, who also started the season well but lost his place as it progressed, and hardly played in the Championship.
Both good characters, but slightly limited as footballers to prosper at a higher level.5 -

NabySarr said:Braziliance said:Swisdom said:Braziliance said:I also still have faith in Alex Mitchell if he gets his chance, think he is slightly underrated on here.
We will be up against it most games in the Champ, especially away, and he is very sound defensively. We will need pure defenders in certain games (Sheff United, Norwich, Southampton away etc) can forget about all that playing sexy football malarkey.
Secondlyhis passing is poor
and he’s not brilliant in the air despite his size
It may be that league one is his level. I suspect a pacy striker from the championship will make him look very silly. I hope I’m wrong because I like him as a guy, but I just think he is too limited for championship football
His passing is almost the same as any other defenders at Charlton, marginal differences, particularly Macca and Jones. It's actually becoming a bit of a myth that he can't pass, and I think people are saying it because that is what they hear other people say.
Finally you don't need pace when you are sitting deep at Sheffield United, Leicester, Norwich, etc, you need tough defenders who won't get bullied. He will be a good back up option and with him being young, has time to improve.
I'll add our defenders passing metrics in a spoiler just so you can see how close it is, but his bad passing is genuinely well over talked/mentioned. Similar passing stats to most centre backs who aren't renowned for 'ball playing ability'.
Anyway it is the rumours thread, point was with our limited funds, I am not too bothered about central defenders.Also those passing stats don’t really show much. For example Gillesphey is asked to play a lot of long passes with higher risk so will lose the ball more. He isn’t anywhere near as capable with the ball as Jones and in particular Gillesphey are, that’s obvious to anyone that’s watched them play. He doesn’t make progressive passes like Jones and Gillesphey can, can’t bring the ball into midfield. He’s very limited with the ball, that doesn’t mean he loses it loads (though there’s definitely a few examples where he has and it’s cost us) but he’s doesn’t do much with it compared to all our other options
We are in the same league now, but in terms of squad quality we are far apart imho.
The passing stats showed a similar amount of longballs to Lloyd and similar succession rates. The glaring difference is Lloyd is just a better defender/player.
All of these comments about his pace, range of passing etc are wide of the mark imo. He is a no nonsense centre back, we wouldn't have a defender in his early 20s who was quick, could pass and could defend as he would be gone fairly quickly. I don't understand your comment either about "Obvious to anyone that watched him play". 1 of the 134 son, watched him play plenty. I am not saying he is as calm as Jones on the ball, or as technical as Gillesphey, I am saying he is nowhere near as bad as to be made out to be, and now has an undeserved stigma around him.
The reality is, he may end up out on loan as I can't see him wanting to sit on the bench for a significant amount of time again, but he has time on his side and with his stature and attitude there is potential there. If he is a back up option in the Champ where we will need pure defenders, that might be fine. Budget better spent elsewhere.2 -

FootNote Damn got beaten to it by Dessie Valley.0 -
Another two players we were supposedly "linked" with have moved on...Amadou Mbengue to QPR and Carlton Morris to Derby.0

Also I wouldn't panic just yet. Looking at all the activity in the Championship so far, quite a few clubs have made the odd signing and some none at all.

If he is a back up option in the Champ where we will need pure defenders, that might be fine. Budget better spent elsewhere.And the general consensus from many that have watched plenty is that he’s poor on the ball, and that includes Nathan Jones - he obviously wasn’t picking McIntyre there over Mitchell because of their defending, it was all about McIntyre being better on the ball that gave him the nod when Jones was out.Millwall are a different level to us at the moment, but I didn’t see many lower championship teams queuing up to sign him after his good loan at Lincoln. He will go on loan to mid-table league 1 I think, even teams at the top of that division will want better0 -

Of our back three, they have a combined c5 championship appearances between them. We MIGHT have Championship defenders and based on their excellent performances in league 1 you would hope we do...... but at present Famewo is the most proven Championship defender.5 -

But most teams in the championship have a championship squad .
We don't so not a fair comparison.6
