Who is Josh M? If it’s Murphy he still have a mother year

McEachran

 

[Joey]

Assuming 3-4-2-1:

NEW

NEW
MOORE
THORNILEY

NEW
BRANNAGAN
NEW
NEW

RODRIGUES
NEW

NEW

So, yeah, nearly there!

Just the finishing touches to go

 

[SteMerritt]

Is that like a father year

No, it's the opposite, obviously!

 

[Didcotox]

We held out for low quality and crocks though, which seems the worst of both worlds.

I think they were panic signings as they initially went after players out of our reach.

 

[Paul Cannell]

Just the finishing touches to go

Don't think Moore has any place near a promotion-winning team, and Brannagan needs a couple of strong players alongside him.

 

[Charles]

Anybody know if Joseph is being looked at as a permanent?

 

[bazzer9461]

I only just started to look at the thread and picked up Josh M didn’t think McEachran oops

We are quite imbalanced at the moment.

• Too many goalkeepers (assuming we are looking at another one)
• 6 into 3 places at centre half (assuming we play with wingbacks) - Moore, Negru, Thornley, Long, Brown, Findley
  • I have assumed Long and Brown are treated as CBs as they're certainly not wing backs
• No proper wingbacks (needs to be addressed)...except Seddon, and maybe he gets a chance if not leaving
• No proper Strikers, and assume LM will play 2 up top
  • GO is good, but still young
  • Not counting SB
  • Browne, maybe counts...
• No idea where Murphy, Wildshut, and Goodrham fit in if we play wingbacks every week

All in all, it’s quite a significant undertaking to remodel this team. Sure some will need to leave to free up spaces, and wages.

Imbalanced? The window only opened yesterday, and we’ve got two in already, with another looking like being done today.

Loooong way to go, but I’d say things are moving along quite nicely, wouldn’t you?

I think if we play Mannings preferred 3-4-2-1 that that wingers/attacking midfielders will play in the 2 behind the lone forward?

I agree with the last point I wonder what will happen to our wingers should we play 3 at the back. Especially seeing as we saw glimpses from Murphy in the last few games and Goodrham had a really promising season.

New quote for you Bazzer:

Have we finished signing players yet?

Have we signed the Triangle survey yet?

 

[Didcot Yellow]

I'd guess we'd likely play 3-4-3 sometimes, allowing us to keep using the likes of Murphy and Goodrham (providing he doesn't go out on loan). Then browne and Rodriguez would play as inverted wingers/attacking midfielders, so sometimes playing more of a 3-4-2-1

 

[holdsteady]

Ignore the names but this would be how we play in Mannings preferred formation, so Murphy etc would play behind the forward, it’s a 3-4-2-1

 

[Marked Ox]

Was just thinking about this
GK
New
CB
Thorniley
Moore
Long (who’s a better cb than rb in my opinion)
LWB
Garbutt
RWB
New
CM
Cam
Josh (replaced MM after 60 mins)
RW
Rodrigues (playing as an inverted winger for you Football Manager players
LW
Browne
ST
Eisa


That gives 7 newbies with 3 of them already in place

Am I missing something? It is only rumour on here isn't it?

 

[ChamonixOx]

Any mor


Gorrin is prolific compared to McEachran.

Please tell me DW has gone fishing comparing the two players in any form.

Regardless, I wish Gorrin all the best; he gave 100% whenever he played, but people seem to have short memories, as even before his first injury, most (I thought) had realised we needed to improve and replace him. McEachran, if we do sign him, and he plays nearly 40 games this season, as he did last season for MK, would be a great signing. The only caveat on his signing should be that he has to disown his younger brother!

I think you have read my post as a criticism. It's not. Just an observation/summary on where we are TODAY. Thought it was quite useful to look at the list of work that the club has left. Sure you would agree that right now its imbalanced. We've had a great start to the window, and absolutely there's a long way to go. Nowhere have I suggested that it's not 'moving along quite nicely'.

 

[Symp59]

3 very solid signings so far and how exciting that the best is yet to come.

 

[OxfordBoy]

Not sure Brannagan and Mceachran can really play in the same midfield but as a depth option I’d be more than happy with him
