Looking at the squad they're very limited options and how many of our players are actually that good? Look at the 11 last night.
Graba - looks poor sure better keepers would have been available.
Flo - was dogshit last season but tbf he's been one of our better players in the first 4 games of this season.
Elphick - carthorse, get rid.
Schindler - solid at this level
Kongolo - wasted at this left back
Chalobah - will be a decent signing
Hogg - solid championship player
VLP - poor last night but hasn't played 1st team football in ages. More than good enough for us.
Pritchard - needs to offer us something this season or get rid in the summer
Mbenza - fuck off
Grant - still a young footballer playing at a higher level than he's used to. Will he our main man this season.
Subs
Bacuna - finished last season really well, but has been poor so far this season. Misplaced passes etc. Needs to improve and up his game.
Kachunga - works hard but not good enough anymore
Diakhaby - get on next flight to France
Campbell - will be a good signing just needs to get match fit.
Brown - not seen much of him
Schofield - kept us in it against a poor Lincoln side last midweek. Would have him as number one personally.
O'brien - always does okay when he plays
Then look at the players that weren't involved.
Mounie - presume he's off. Personally would keep him but Phil will want to make a quick buck
Quaner - nice guy but dining off Hillsborough. Get rid.
Koroma - A non league man, but we signed him deserves a run of games.
Bockhorn - a German Sunday league player
Brown - did well at forest Green, give him a game

Why didn’t we realise the squad was this poor / thin when it was obvious in June?
Before we gave Mooy away and sold £25m of players
Brown signed from league 2. 2 leagues below. Poor v Lincoln
Koroma - Signed from conference. 3 leagues below. Effort but out of his depth v Lincoln.

As far as I'm aware that's the full squad. Who have I missed? European window is still open too don't forget. We could potentially lose another couple from this group.

Poor v Lincoln Koroma - Signed from conference. 3 leagues below. Effort but out of his depth v Lincoln. Nothing to lose in playing Koroma and Brown, 2 Hungry young lads, how can it be any worse than that pathetic excuse team. Elphick get rid Diakhaby mbenza Goodye. |

Graba looks poor? We'd have been absolutely battered every game if he wasnt in goal I'd pick Schofield as well, dont think graba is particularly poor, but from the Lincoln showing we could probabaly have used the GK wages elsewhere to actually improve the squad. We needed a LB and AM or LW. Can we reintegrate young sabiri now seiwert has gone? He could play at 10 because pritchard looks like a northern conference player. |

There's always going to be weak links in a Town squad. We're not Man C etc.
The biggest problem is in their heads. They can't buy a win just now. We need a win, whether it's via a good performance or influenced by luck. Then we'll need to follow that up with another one so that some belief starts coming back.

Well the truth of the matter is its a poor squad. Barnsley have got more options on paper. Its league one for us next season if things don't change quickly.

The GK is only important because we have failed to improve what's in front of him. A new LB was essential, that would have transformed the defence. Can we pick one up on a free? Because we need one. Midfield and attack aren't actually too bad, just not clicking at the moment. |

Schofield may well turn out to be a very good keeper, not yet. Certainly nowhere near Grabara's level. |

Looking at the squad they're very limited options and how many of our players are actually that good? Look at the 11 last night. Graba - looks poor sure better keepers would have been available. I got as far as this and...….. TBF it’s about right. However, Grabba is young and IMO has looked fine. He was obviously told to play out from the back last night due to our lack of height/holding players for long balls and stuck to the script even when it became a problem. I don’t think that was his fault. One of the senior players in front of him should have changed that. Also I don’t think the player by player breakdown tells the story. Average players can make a decent team with the right coaching and organisation, which is currently what we lack. Having said that I do think we have made some poor signings and Elphick is one of those. |
