Just a thought, we are sitting pretty at the moment in 9th position, 1 point off a play off spot, we unlike some of the teams around us have suffered out bad luck run and things should improve, whilst some of them will suffer. We could still have some exciting incomers and some outgoing before the end of January, our injured players are recovering, the warnings to LJ have all been clarified, so we can presume he will buck up his ideas and our performances will improve. What or where do you think our final position will be, top two, third, top six qualification, top tem, fifteenth, twentieth,bottom four. How much confidence do you have in LJ and the team. Interesting to see where our results will end up.
Performances need to improve to maintain our current position and I just think we could make our usual mistakes.
Other teams below us are finding some form. Johnson needs to sort out our results and quick, otherwise it'll be a below halfway finish !
The main concern is our form , we are playing awful at the moment x we seem to do worse when we have a full squad to chose from , that is something that needs to be addressed quickly .
Apart from the obvious lack of confidence and maybe a out and out goal scorer, I personally think we lack a consistent leader on the pitch, someone with fire in their belly to rally the troops. I don't see that in our current squad..
Well that was a shock, plan A out of the window, Arsenal decision nobodies fault. not LJ, not MA. not SL, a bit of bad manners by the Arsenal but thats life,now comes what a lot of us prophesised, plan B, do we have one ? how quick can we react ? If not then the criticism will start and rightly so, it's time to get the money out, we are desperate for a striker or even a plan C. MA & LJ we are all watching and it's no good crying about spilt milk.
Question is, what decent strikers are out there looking for a move and at what price (within our budget)?
Here is 5 the evil post has come up with... https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport...ws/aston-villa-star-nottingham-forest-3744304
Ivan Toney is pretty good in L1 but is untried at Championship level and Peterborough want stupid money for him I always rated Scott Hogan when he was at Brentford Assombolonga doesn't score enough goals for my liking Lyle Taylor - Nah Kodjia - Could maybe do a job again We're not renowned for splashing silly money, so I would be surprised if we signed anyone, unless it's on loan
Nothing there that thrills me especially, Lyle Taylor maybe worth a look though, wow just read angelic, talk about diverse opinion.
not at all impressed... however ….Hogan and kodger wouldn't mess around with these 2 Assombologna injury, wont likely be fit to hit ground running and will cost.. Toney partner to mo Eisa did we cash in to early I had always said he was worth more game time and was worth persevering with, Toney seems to be one of those players that get a couple of good players in partnership Galley and Garland … smash and grab …. types …. £7m or £14m him and Madisson [ would leave Mo ISOLATED THOUGH! who is still not agreed terms if Maddison does sign for Charlton then lyle might not want to leave? "KEEP ON LOOKING" ... I say
I agree, I like Bownhill but he’s not an on the pitch leader. I hoped Kalas would be that guy, but clearly he isn’t. I think it should be Korey.
Angelic said; Kodjia - Could maybe do a job again. Couldn’t even contemplate that. A player who once refused to play for the club!!!
Pretty sure there are plans B, C and D and so on in place, because if not we wouldn't be sending people out on loan, we would be recalling the ones we do have on loan and not releasing current squad players
Any port in a storm in my opinion. The facts are we don't score many goals and we concede quite a few. So unless that's addressed, however possible, we'll be sliding down the table losing more and more games.
Would leave Mo isolated though, who is still not agreed terms?? What’s Mo Eisa got to do with it, we sold him last year
peterbro have 3 players that combine together exceptionally well Mo, Toney and Maddison think they scored something like 35 goals between them and have a very good number of assists to each other Maddison not yet agreed terms with Charlton … so Peterbro needs Smozdic in case he signs! Toney [ 15 goals ] wants out [ might be out of contract in summer? ] so Mo on 13 goals would be their top scorer! but lacking support?
