Those 3 aren’t good enough for that (maybe Sakala aside), and Roofe can’t be relied upon. The players they're bringing on were brought in over a few windows though mate. Do I want to have them on the bench? No., all I'm saying is that I'd rather be replacing Kent/Morelos/Matondo first. We need a starting GK, CB, possibly a CM(although probably will have Jack/Lundstram for that place) LW, RW, ST. That's a lot for one window alone.

Bearing in mind you have to get Wright out the door AND secure someone else in. Or you got a magic bag of money? Not really sure what your point is here? Scott Wright wouldn’t make that other mobs matchday squad. he’s absolutely chronic and kind of sums up our recruitment policy in past few years.

I don't see us bringing 18 new players in the Summer. I'd rather change the first choice guys first than be worrying about the guy who barely plays. Sort him the Summer after or in January.

Need a goal with 5 minutes to go and we bring on a defensive midfielder, take off a striker and bring on Wright, while leaving the midfielder most likely to get a chance/goal on the bench I was dumbfounded at those subs yesterday. Took far to long to make them after Tav pulled the 2nd back and then went like for like with 5 minutes of normal time remaining in a must win match. Just unreal.

All three were that bad you struggle to choose which one was the worst. The subs and timings were baffling. If he wanted fresh legs the time was just before they scored the second. It was so obvious that the flow of the game had turned their way and we weren’t getting close or getting out. I like Beale a lot but his sub choices in all 3 OF have been very poor. The quality on our bench though at the moment is frighteningly bad. The No.9 and ForeverAndEver 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rangersross 6,579 Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 The really frustrating thing is that a far less talented player could contribute a lot more.

GA1972 9,864 Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Cant wait to see the back of him now At the fee we paid for him, contribution received and getting no money back he might be our worst ever bit of business.

bluenoz 31,354 Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Time's up. If you squander that many goal opportunities and make inaccurate passes at crucial moments, then you can't expect a new and improved contract.

Not that they’re the answer. I know Matondo has been injured but they're clearly not doing enough in training, or in limited appearances, to dislodge the likes of Sakala or worse, Kent. And if they can't show up better than Kent then we're really fucked. I'd be happy if they followed Lundstram, Kamara, Barisic, King, McLaughlin and all those going out of contract bar Tillman (and maybe Jack).
