Greenwood

I couldnt pick O'Brien out of a line up. Having said that on a long term.basis I think there is plenty in there to be excited about. Not every player will be a roaring success, some may sink without trace, but overall a solid 7.
 
I dont know how people can vote for anything higher than a 5/6. We are 0 from 4 in the league and most people havent seen any of the players play before they came here. O'Brien aside the rest are hopefuls. Run in again in December.
 
Well there are some pretty positive scores out there that people feel we must be a good team. We might become one in the coming weeks and months, who among us can really be that sure? I understand the aim, the mission, but I am not seeing the light at the end of the tunnel but it is early days though. Next season, maybe we will be a team to be reckoned with. but this one, I am not feeling it.

I will be interested to see how this experiment gamble goes. I do not even understand some of the signings, we seem top heavy in places but light in others. O’Brien and Dieng are the only oven ready pieces added to a jigsaw where i think there are a number of missing pieces and unknown quantities. Next season we could have a gaping gap in central midfield that I hope we start work soon by planning for filling, just in case.

Everybody likes Josh, wants him to do well, but he is not a mobile pacy striker so an injury to Lath will affect our fluid style but will let us see how a year away has affected his game for the better. I am expecting tighter games and less victories and a workmanlike mid table finish 10th -14th. I hope those of you thinking its been a good window are proved right mind.
 
This time last year most of us had Chuba down as a journeyman we'd failed to offload. We were excited by the arrival of Muniz and knew almost nothing about our other signings or January loanees. We'd also made a dismal start to the season. Who would have predicted we'd end up playing the most exciting football we've seen for years? Three of those players have been sold for eight-figure sums. Funny old game. UTB!
 
A positive 6.

I understand where the club is heading, and the type of players we are looking at.

Slightly disappointed we couldn't bring in a RB and CF - if Lath is injured, we are relying on Coburn. If Coburn is injured too, it's Crooks or Rogers up top.......😬

Also could have done with a CB, but if the club are confident VDB can step in........🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

It's (unfortunately) a rebuild season, so not expecting the same levels as Jan - Apr last season. But that squad "should" be good enough to be challenging playoffs.

Need some patience, see how the squad shapes next 6-8 games.👍
 
Honestly I feel it’s been a pretty positive transfer window. We’ve brought in numerous players with bags of potential who are still a little rough around the edges and with the loans we’ve now brought in a bit of experience and proven quality as well. Hopefully we now have a chance to build some form but it also means we shouldn’t have to be rebuilding the squad next season because hopefully some of our permanent signings will have improved in quality

On a personal level I don't get the overarching need for a RB, Dijksteel and Smith have proven themselves to be a steady 7 out of 10 most games With the odd Rick in them like most players in the championship hence why they play in this division, we could also play Mcnair, Howson, RVB or Agyemang we appear pretty well off in that department to me.
 
We have an exciting somewhat unkown squad that is complete till January, now Carrick can get to work with what he has and develop then as well as some of the younger players and just watch us go UTB
 
I think that this transfer window is more for next year rather than this. We have signed a lot of young players with potential, but we will be lucky if half of them turn out to improve the team. We have done that without stretching our budget to the extreme.
Hopefully we can add to that in January and if we get really lucky a play off spot could be ours at the end of the season.
The long term plan should be to build on relative success .
Hopefully I'm completely wrong and we have 8 or 9 world beaters and we absolutely smash the league
 
Will be interesting to see how it plays out! Bound to be a couple of players who go well and probably a couple who sink without trace, if I was having a bet on where we end up with this squad I'd go edge of play offs so that would be 6 or 7
 
Well if I felt like the squad was similar to the one we had at the end of last season I would have scored a 5. If we had improved the squad, I would have scored it 6-10, and weakened it, I'd have scored it 1-4.

I've scored it a 3. In my opinion, we are weaker than we were at the end of last season. I would have liked to have seen more players come in who are ready to make an instant impact. The only players that have came in that I think have improved the first team from last season are Dieng and O'brien. The others all seem to be signed with the hope they will become good Champo players rather than being proven. They are currently a downgrade.

Do all these people scoring it a 7 or 8 think we have a better team than last season?

I agree, this will also be helped when we start to defend as a team too which I think O'brien will really help with and Bangura looks like he likes to get up and down the pitch, (maybe a RED card in him though with some of his tackles). For me I would just like to see more aggression in the air when attacking or defending a ball from a cross, long throw l, long ball etc.

Not sure on the numbers but I feel like we've conceded a lot of goals from set pieces this season already. Although Lenihan and Fry have probably been guilty of not been dominant enough, defending set pieces is basic at this level. That should be drilled on the training ground
