The Squad 2021-22

[Boz]

That’s a shame. I’d optimistically thought that given they’d just loaned a forward player out to Barrow that they weren’t so depleted personnel wise. Hope we get Josh back at the end of the month.

 

[bring back the cowshed!]

This is the problem with loaned players. They are cheap and low risk, but you have no control. At least we had a plan B in the other Josh and we may see Josh number one return in due course. I'd love to see them both in operation.

He will probably return in a week or 2 once the covid issues at Sunderland have eased.

 

[aldoes mustache]

shame but we move on

 

[ADD]

He will probably return in a week or 2 once the covid issues at Sunderland have eased.

Unless he has improved so much under our tutelage he goes straight into the team
In all seriousness losing him even for a couple of games is not good news. Hopefully McPake is fit enough to play some part today even if not starting.

 

[ADD]

Doyle will most likely return to Ireland

Confirmed he has.

 

[ONIGP]

Hawkes on the bench for Sunderland.

 

[aldoes mustache]

and did not play wast of bloody time he will be back in a week or so

 

[bigmart]

Should be a signing or two this week

Potentially another striker it seems.

 

[Sparky]

Potentially another striker it seems.

I was thinking today despite a goal each for Nevitt and Jolley will still need another front man. Perhaps one with a physical presence.

The slimline Nevitt confirmed post match he’s lost 1.5 stone over the last couple of months

 

[Rockford's Love Child]

We have only got three available strikers, and one of those has had long term injury problems (Glatzel), so just in terms of numbers I think we need another forward.

 

[Ian]

Yes, again, we don’t want the same problems as last year. Nevitt looks slimmer, faster and I think this whole experience has brought him on massively. He seems to be getting better with every performance. Fair play to the lad.

 

[keep the faith]

loved to see the 2 lads up front today their overall play and enthusiasm were a joy to watch, obviously both learning their trade but each compliment the other, also love it when we score and the entire team all celebrate together.

 

[Ian]

Yes. You can see the improvements on the pitch as their movement is much better now and making it hard for opposing defenders.

 

[drwhoman]

If he continues to develop he will be a rarity in this day and age. A park footballer made good. Was he ever on a top club’s books? He is not Vardy obviously but while the latter went to Leicester from then non league Fleetwood, he was a former Man City junior.

 

[aldoes mustache]

one-off the reasons we are defending so well is with the two Lads up top harring and chasing the ball down and harassing the opposition players, and with both of them scoring goals now,its great having two young lads with loads of energy who ever MM brings in will have big shoes to fill

 

[Sparky]

Good point AM. Not that many teams play two recognised strikers these days but it shows it can be done if they are willing to work hard off the ball

What's happening with Dieseruvwe? Although whether he's done enough to count as a striker is debatable.

When Tom Davies went down after a challenge and needed treatment, I was getting worried. Thankfully he saw the game out. However with both him and Knight-Percival being injury-prone, do hope that some central defensive back-up is on Micky's shopping list.

I just assume he is not remotely in Mellon's plans. I am sure he will move him on this month if he can.

I agree that we need a centre half and a striker.
