Ranger gone.....
bloody hell, give the guy a chance! remember when Fortune signed? he's turned everyone around, maybe Nouble will too
When I said Nouble is clearly not doing it, it was because he was being seen as a forward. I've seen Nouble on a couple of occasions and IMO he is not a forward. He is a wide player in a 4-4-2 or 4-4-3 system as is McLaughlin. Of course he needs time to prove himself. Sorry if I gave the wrong impression.
Just had a moment to think about our squad.
Gk: Smith Oxley
Df: Coker innis Thompson white ferdinand demetriou O'Neil
Mf: mcloughlin Atkinson bridge timlin Amos Leonard wordsworth mcglashan hines
Att: fortune Cox nouble Robinson mooney and possibly ranger.
I can't remember having a squad with such depth in a long while. There is genuinely strength in depth. I haven't really thought about it and hoped for action today...but actually we are in really good shape. Robinson is different from what we have.
Scunthorpe and Bolton at home then the rest is below us in the table. Things are looking really bright.
The season Tilly took us up, I agree that we had a paper thin squad and got very lucky in terms of injuries and suspensions. A lot has been made of Leicester City last year, but that is exactly what happened to us. It was a dream season where everything came together, we rode our luck, played great football and had a collective spirit on and off the pitch. It was our own miracle looking back. The reality of the average promotion is the depth of a squad and how you can replace players with others that stand up to the challenge. I agree that there are key players that would leave a hole, but for a lot of positions there is challenge and variety which is a massive positive. I have left some transfer windows praying we don't get three injuries because we could be decimated. This window there is a decent squad standing in a good place with a chance of the playoffs.
Nouble is clearly not doing it
What a silly thing to say when the lads only been here 5 minutes and the club has literally had one game during his time here. I'm far from convinced he'll be any good but that's just taking the biscuit a bit!!!!

Bloody hell chill out mate. He'd already backed himself up. Read the thread properly before criticising :moon:
Matty when I said Nouble wasn't doing it I didn't mean in in a derogatory way. It was in response to him being listed as an out-and-out striker. I've seen him play a couple of times and he played wide in a 4-4-2 or 4-4-3 system not as a central striker. Of course he will need time and opportunity to prove himself, but I don't seem him as a central striker. Sorry if I gave the wrong impression.
Good try Roberto, get back to driving your taxi :). Too much time on your hands these days ;)
It's not the first time I've seen that system quoted on here. I'm all for attacking football but 4-4-3 has one major disadvantage.

You lot don't miss much do you? Of course I meant 4-3-3, but playing 4-4-3 is OK, as you use a "rush goalie" :winking:
Aaaaah, but your clearly not familiar with Childhood Playground rule 27-6/D Which clearly states........
A rush goalie can only be used in the following circumstances:
1. He has used his coat as one of the goal posts!
2. He has provided the Ball.
3. He has been given the task of getting down on all fours to retrieve the match ball from underneath a stationary car (or thorny bushes) when the ball is kicked outside of the playing area.
4. If your losing 14-0 with only 10 minutes to go, before your mum calls you in for dinner.
