"When Bruno Lage was in charge, he would keep a record of the five-a-side wins for each player in the squad."

What a bellend. Who cares about shit like that?

Used to get loads of pictures of the wining 5 a side teams on social media in the Nuno/Lage years. Not like it was a metric he was using to pick the team.

Podence definitely did!

 

[Dire Wolf]

If this is accurate we have been extremely fortunate this season. Undoubtedly helps contribute to our successful campaign. We can't rely on having this amount of luck in the future.

 

[Lycan]

There is a certain % of luck there obviously but it's unfair to say it's just that. Also a lot of hard work and clearly a very good medical/fitness department.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

We lost Neto for a third of the season. Cunha will be out for several matches.

It’s not overall time , it’s who and when

 

[Tony Towner]

Stating the obvious we have less players to get injuries

Yep. If Cunha isn't back until Villa then we'll have gone 5 straight months without fielding our first choice front three.

 

[Wolftone]

We have been here before. Small squad, everything going great, until injuries hit. Making a European spot could be a disaster, long term with the current squad we've got.

Fuck that, I want to go to Zeleznicar away

Yep.

It's no surprise Newcastle are top given how shit Howe's management of that squad has been.

No consideration at all for the way they play creating injury problems, which it so clearly would especially with the increase in games.

That potential is only there if we continue to fail to supplement the squad.

"One stand not fit for use" is an incredibly strong statement and a false one too.

Yes it needs replacing but it will be fit for use until it fails to receive a safety certificate.

That's the reality.

 

[Tony Towner]

I can see the pragmatic argument with the it's too early or the squad is too small comments, the issue I take with them is if we don't want to make Europe then what's the point? After 6 years and guaranteeing a 7th, just being in the PL isn't an achievement even though Jeff and co tried hard to make it one. I don't want to be Crystal Palace finishing 12th to 16th every season, even if that is preferable to relegation and probably the height of Fosuns ambition

Totally agree. Hope lessons have been learnt.

Understandably so.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

It's not like we need absolutely masses of additions.

We need a back up keeper and another option at RWB as the current squad options are awful and you would never want to pick them.

If Mosquera is up to the task then we have enough CHs. If not then one more.

Big if given his drift over the last six months but LWB is ok if Hugo can be an alternative to RAN.

We have enough CMs.

It's the attacking areas where we're light, need at least two more there.

So you're bulking it up by 4 or 5 extra players, shouldn't be beyond us.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Losing the assists of Neto would be huge too, could see them gambling on Chiquinho.

Plus, we're less likely to plug those gaps if we DONT have Europe

 

[Wolftone]

Yeah 4 or 5 would be enough. They need to be of a suitable standard, age wise and fitness wise at the correct price and be prepared to sit on the bench and wait their turn.
Not impossible but not that straightforward either.
Someone like Santi who can become first choice whilst Dawson's workload is managed over the next year or two. He looks like he could be in that category. Doyle another.
