Striker/Winger Situation

[jmelanie]

Got a feeling that Shittydippydoo will turn out better than Phillips and Hoilett as well ,.

Any chance of us calling him something else?

Up the Orioles

Shoddipoo? Or showaddywaddy?

"Mi Sho-Deep-O" would make you think he's a Japanese adult film actor and not a footballer.

I've got a good feeling about him kev. Come from nowhere really, would be a massive bonus

Same mate, seen on twitter that Steve Gallen reckons he's going to go all the way as a player.

[Hitman34]

Get the two french lads and leckie.

Fark off toser, mackie, el #### and gladwin.

Shidopo and patresso as backups job done.

would rather be 15th 16th with players wanting to play for the shirt than be 11th 12th signing mercenaries. hope we continue to cherry pick youngsters

The value of 4-4-2

We have watched 4-5-1 and 4-3-3 create an awful euros, when ironically if we had played 4-4-2 we probably would have got somewhere.

Sincerely would love to go back to playing 4-4-2 as opposed to trying to get 2 out and out wide men into a game...if you do not manage this then you are carrying players. Hope the lack of wingers means we go back to 4-4-f*****-2! Football is a cyclical game and the cycle will go back to 2 up top sooner or later.

That's... such an odd selection of positions on the table...

I am more concerned about the striker position than the wings, I like the BFG and Washington but I think we need one more proven goal scorer in the mix there!

[Kevin Mcleod]

I honestly think Wells is our only realistic, and by far the best option we could go for striker wise. I'm sure he would do superb for us. (No Ted)

[Ginger Ninja]

1 striker and 2 wingers needed, plenty of time to get them, and it's not like Les and Jimmy are sitting there doing fark all. There's absolutely nothing to panic about, we will get more deals over the line before the end of the transfer window.

[Tarbie]

Pretty sure El Khayati is a winger isn't he?

Agree on Mackie and Gladwin though. Neither are up to the job for me.

I trust the club to sort it out though. They've been bang on in the transfer market so far this window for me and we are being linked with some decent players in the areas that we are still weak. It will all come right in the next 3 or 4 weeks I'm sure.

The cycle went past 442 years ago, a couple of teams have had major success with the right players but that isn't a suggestion of the 442 coming back, more the fact that it's been out for so long that it feels new. 451, 4231, 433 are the present and the future is 352, 3511, 3142

3 at the back is not the present or the future.

Name me a side that has succeeded domestically in the English league playing 3 at the back? There may be some sides who have used it to good effect on the continent but our league has always suited 4 at the back in the modern era of football. Now I know that you'll argue that I'm speaking about the past, but I'd put my mortgage on the fact that all of the top 4 in the Prem next season will adopt a formation with 4 at the back!
