There were times yesterday Wednesday walked through our MF without a challenge, a strong physical and experienced CDM is a must for me..

You're wrong mate, it wasn't Defoe (or his agent) that Karl was talking about.

It was Marcus browne.

Don't forget we're missing Kane though who sits slightly deeper then Brannagan and sykes normally.

Cheers Colin, was hoping it wasn’t Defoe, so nice to hear, but I think that’s what the gist of his comments were e.g. players not realising the importance he puts on players playing for the shirt/club rather than them thinker they are bigger than the club itself.

To be honest I’m not sure why KR was sounding so nackered / stressed **

There will be annoying agents, clubs and players chasing the £. That’s life, it will be the same at every club.

** unless he has to (wants to) get involved in more day to day club things than other managers. Maybe their should be a Director of Football to take some stuff off him?

Probably something to do with the times in which he sits with the board over video call. Think about the time differences! It has been said at times it’s been twice a day. Doesn’t leave a great deal of time for a bit of R&R.

I remember it happening once in the second half when Brannagan was left for dead and sort of gave up the chase. I’d agree that a bigger physical presence is needed somewhere on the pitch and someone capable of better closing down because a few times yesterday it was too easy for them to get within shooting range.

Where's he from? Likely to choose one of the northern teams if a northerner.

Started at Tranmere , 27 and only really done it this season no idea why. Been around a few Northern clubs already

 

[brightonyellow]

Real discussion is if you could only have one, which one would it be: Defoe or Stockton?

Stockton 100%

Above anything this makes me feel like we might have some money to spend.

 

[Thomas/Brock/Jones]

Not sure I'd want us spending too much on Stockton tbh , 28 in March and only had this season as anything above ordinary ( some seasons very ordinary) .
Little resale value as age but absolutely on fire this season.
Would prefer our money going on younger players but depends on how much we have to spend !

 

[Peterdev]

Maybe we can go for both. Stockton with Defoe as an impact sub

 

[Mojofilter]

The defoe thing is a joke, surely?

 

[yellowbow]

After yesterday I quite like the idea of 3:5:2 with Stockton alongside Taylor up front.

we also have players suited to that formation in the squad. If Thorniley stays hes ideal for the left side of the three, likewise Sam Long on the right. Seddon looks far more comfortable in the left wing ack position and Sykes also seemed to adapt to the RWB role really well. I think its a position the Williams would also excel in.

So our top scorer Matt Taylor just sits out? Not sure that’ll fly!

Something like this would be nice

 

[curransleftboot]

Think he means 3 5 2 - with Taylor and Stockton and Defoe as impact. Will be interesting to see if Winnall can reproduce what he did yesterday, or if too late.

 

[Common Villager]

We've played 352 for 50 mins and now everyone wants to utilise it as our primary formation. 433 works for us and has done for a few seasons, and I still think it should be our first choice, but it's good to have other options in case plan A isn't working.
