We have a number of bodies there but lack real stand out every game quality. Davis, Jack and Airfield cant play every game. Kamara seems to have regressed massively since 55 season. Only Lundstram at the moment is showing that and we seem to deploy him at centre back at times 🤦♀️ Need to give Tillman, Lawrence a chance to settle in and see what they can offer. Get Lowry fit and get him games. But would like to see a traditional #8 in to play alongside Lundstram. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 15,152 Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Lowry was playing for the B team last night. A bit odd, given our lack of creativity. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not played for a couple of months and missed most (if not all) of pre-season so not a surprise we're easing him back in. Same will happen with Roofe but Morelos may be fast-tracked for next week after a sub appearance this weekend. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But IMO we do need an upgrade at keeper. Wouldn't it make more sense to re-visit the suitability of McLaughlin after he's played continuously for a dozen games or so? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the hope that a career lower league goalkeeper who has been our backup for 2 seasons, is turning 35 next month suddenly demonstrates ability that's not yet been seen? Sure we could. And we most likely will. I don't think we would have resigned McGregor had we got Sam Johnstone who went to Palace. He would have been our #1. We will probably bring in someone new next summer when McGregor's contract is up. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It most certainly would ideally. Perhaps the issue with that is the window and worth noting we will either need to promote RM or get a keeper anyway for next year. It's an area we need to look at if we have money. When is debatable but short to medium term. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Moon 1,280 Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Alfie was overplayed while injured last season. If we bring him back too soon he could have a setback. Being deemed fit and match fit are 2 different animals. Catch 22 situation. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
