Goats squad analysis thread 2022/23

No, neither do I.

The attack is chronic and needs major surgery.

Midfield lacks any sort of brain in there.

We're ok out wide - not great, but ok.

CB still looks weak - we need another one in with Tarkowski.

FBs look lacking in overall quality.

GK is either superb or a clown.
Would be VERY happy to see around 20 of those named above out the door.
 
When is the first friendly scheduled? We'll get a better idea of where recruitment will be focussed once we know if it's going to be three/five or four at the back.

If the season started tomorrow, I think the team would look something like this:

Pickford
Coleman Tarkowski Godfrey
Iwobi Allan Doucoure Mykolenko
Gordon DCL Gray​

Would BOSS League One that.
 
How are we looking at the moment?

I make it

Pickers
(Begovic/Lonergan)

Coleman - Mina - Tarkowski - Mykolenko
(Patterson) - (Keane/Holgate) - (Branthwaite/Godfrey) - (Nkounkou)

Allan
(Gbamin)
Doucoure ----- Dele Alli
(Gomes/Iwobi) ---- (Tom Davies)

Gordon ------------------------------------------- ????
(Townsend) ------------------------------------------- (Gray)

DCL
(Rondon)​

Incl. young players looking to break into first team squad: Simms, Onyango, Dobbin, Isaac Price (looks a real prospect)

On that basis we need:
To offload I) at least one CB; II) A centre midfielder
To buy: I) A winger; II) a replacement CM or CDM; III) potentially another replacement CB?

Looking at the squad I wonder whether Lamps might fancy a 3-5-2 or a 3-4-2-1 this year given the congestion at centre half.
Maybe a Godfrey - Tarkowski - Branthwaite partnership might have some balance to it. Two big guys, two quick guys, one lefty, experience in the middle.

That’s a poor team and could easily see it in a relegation place.

The really scary thing is that’s pretty much the best 11 - imagine what it looks like if we have 3/4/5 injuried or have to rest players.

That is probably how we will line up, its just very, very sad. until we sign a Defensive Midfielder I think we will continue with 3 CB's. For me the defensive midfielder is the key position, then we cant go to a 451 / 433.

With Lonergan, Virginia and Tyrer leaving, that possibly opens the door for us needing a 3rd choice Keeper?

Don't think Lonergan has left? Still listed the in squad on the website but all the other OOC's have been removed. Sure I saw him on the training vid too.

Fair enough, didnt see anything about him getting a new contract.

I guess he goes back in then.

Yikes, probably the worst squad we've had in 20 years this.
