A few questions for your input.
GK- bring one in to be back up or experienced keeper?
My view is experienced GK like stockdale/ Heaton and let PF learn from them, he good shot stopper but needs to work on coming to collect for balls into box.
Defense- stick with what we have and use young ones or buy CB?
My view, watched foyth have a mare against gunners. Think he may drop to bench, but feel he could be a very good loan to link with PJ. Other defense positions seem good but need ailing back and I would recall coyle if can?
Midfield- Would u invest here? Feel we strong here, I for one wasn't KP biggest fan and upset when vieira sold, but he is playing fantastic, his long passes are superb and adaptable.
Feel Klich, Forshaw, saiz, Pablo and now Clarke are good enough but alioski has to be dropped, I feel we need a pacey winger brought in, all gone quiet re- Marcus Maddison of P-boro, is he out of form? Watching bolaise for villa, need that type winger to run at defenses. Who would u go for or not?
Striker- anyone and who?
I feel we need a quality striker, I would like lorrente if poss? Hoping that Bamford and Izzy can come back strong. MB has done fantastic job and feel just need 3 to 4 quality additions and would be top 2?
Sorry to ramble but interested in what fans think 🤔.

good post,

GK is a hard one, BPF has been very good overall, i think on crosses he is one of the best i have seen in a long while, good shot stopper but capable of a clanger. Defence depends on how much faith we have in halpe (or whatever his name is) and dallas. midfield is settled although all know my view on needing a ball winning box to box type. up front we have bamford so how much faith do we have in him (i love him)

I think churchill said hope for the best but prepare for the worse, so with that in mind we are in the playoff finals against west brom do we feel confident? what if BPF, Aling, Roofe are injured?

I think heaton is a must if we can get him he was class and in england sqaud before getting injured, i think we need a CF but most of all CB. At Leyton Orient they have maculy boone who is linked with leeds and norwich full of goals and marvin Epexkita who is a young quick powerful CB and a must buy. I know villa have scouted him four times. I would try and get both if we can. Also call coyle back if we are in the playoffs dallas should be knowhere near the team, two good performances doesn't make a summer (or is it a swallow? ) I would also look for a mobile ball winner to replace KP against the more dangerous teams.

Think we need some more pace up front, and some one to put the chances in the back of the net. We do not know how good Bamford or Brown will be but then again if we buy a striker will he fit in straight away. Pacy winger for me who can cross and score. Shad we are top two.

Agree with most of what has already been said. GK Can't decide which way to go here BPF has not done much wrong. The odd goof up but talk to Mr Pickford about those. I would be comfortable with BPF/ / Huffer but also with Heaton etc/ / BPF. Even be ok with a long in the tooth GOOD goalkeeper (Green? ) as cover and teacher for BPF, Just on a one or two year contract.

Think we need a goalie for first team. He has done well in parts bpf but I’m not confident in him when crosses come in.
Ayling was poor before he was injured but we have the berahdi as a replacement and halme or whatever his name is who played well against the blunts. Happy with defence.
Hoping Izzy adds what we need in midfield.
I want a striker to help roofe out as doubt Bamford will cut it.
Just goalie and striker for me!

why would two good performances make a swallow? what kind of movies have you been watching Bermo?

{Ed001's Note - maybe it is some kind of sliding scale of payments for performances?}

Bw doesn’t seem to be making much sense recently.
That’s rich coming from me I know.
But he is like a dog with a bone and well won’t let go.
Maybe speedie dumping him for a younger guy has given him a bone he doesn’t know what to do with!

aus, the pot just called me to let the kettle know it is black. you sure about dog with a bone? yes me that is true, but you ain't far behind with bamford, least kp has played bamford has been injured and when he played he scored.

also BFP not confident on crosses, sorry you are just plain wrong he is great with crosses, commands area and always gets the ball (not great at commanding area in terms of positioning but great with crosses) the only weakness in his game is concertration which is why he makes great saves and then let's in one my nan would save but he will learn.

Alf that is the next play i am writing! casting lucy pinder again for that i think

finally me and speedy's split was of mutual consent and he didn't leave me for a younger guy, that is just one of jeffs rumours and not true!
