MIR17 Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 You can all have some of our players, our squad is currently far too big and we need to get rid of a load of players. Franck Moussa, Martyn Waghorn, Steve Howard, Matt Oakley, Dany N'Guessan, Conrad Logan, Yann Kermorgant, Moreno, Tom Kennedy or Bruno Berner, anyone?

G-Man11 Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 I'll take Waghorn, Berner, Oakley and Kermorgant As it stands we have 17 senior pro's of which 5 are out injured (and have been all season) plus 10 inexperienced youngsters (of which the most important 1 is out injured) as our squad. Some of our most important players been injured all season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDiCanio Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 We've got 19 players, which is only 4 more than Coventry (I counted 15 on your OS). I didnt say we were going to have the smallest squad in the league, but for a team aiming for promotion we are thin in certain areas. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nottingham Forest Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 We have Camp, Smith, Darlow Gunter, Moloney, Freeman Cohen Morgan, Chambers, Lynch, Watson, Lascelles Anderson, McCleary McGugan, Majewski, Greening, Boateng, Reid, Moussi, Miller, Derbyshire, Garner, Tudgay, McGoldrick, Findley, Blackstock We also have a few other youngsters too. We have way too many strikers and not enough wide midfielders. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He made one mistake and you just know some fans can't get past that. Funny how Waghorn doesn't get blamed for missing his penalty as well though! I always thought he looked like a gifted player who just needed time to settle under Pearson. Definitely seems like a player who would fit in our current style better than the one under Pearson a la Gallagher or King as well. Is he the guy who missed that very casual penalty in the Championship play offs a couple of seasons ago? Yes, but there is a video on youtube of him scoring a similarly taken penalty to perfection. He just mishit it, which anyone can do, he actually outwitted Marshall and sent him diving to the floor and if he'd hit it cleanly he'd have scored.

Nottingham Forest Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Yeah but he didn't though and that's where the problem comes from. If a player misses a penalty after taking it normally and misses then I wouldn't mind. I think the problem is that your fans are annoyed in the manner of which he took the penalty. Fans don't like it if something that is against the norm, doesn't happen. Hope that's explained well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't think there's any difference. I don't see how he should be blamed for the way he tried to take a penalty, which if he hadn't mishit it would have gone in. Either way, it was one mistake and one which Waghorn also made, 18 months ago, I can't believe some fans can't move on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, should be a good match tomorrow! Thoughts? I still think we might take a few more games to get going. I can see the potential in our side, but it's clear they've not really gelled together, our defence seems to spend half the time arguing with each other and clearly haven't got the offside trap sorted between them yet and our midfield doesn't seem to cover each other and know each others games yet. So I'm not expecting much from us given that you've made such a flying start, but we'll see. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GG17 Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Well we haven't got anyone in our side capable of breaking an offside trap with pace alone so you should be OK on that front. Form says we should be confident but we will stuff this run up (10 wins in a row now) somewhere along the line and that will most probably be tomorrow. I really want to be positive and say I'm confident that if we play as well as we have so far we should take all 3 points but I guarantee I'll have egg all over my face if I do. So I'll plump for a draw. Which I'll take away from home. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-Man11 Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 I can't see that happening really. Doesn't really offer anything different or significantly better than any of the current strikers.

G-Man11 Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 He's just received his first call up for the U-21's after a poor season and now finding himself unwanted at his club. Not entirely sure why he's now just been called up tbh! So far all he has are two U19 caps. Anyway ignoring your tongue in cheek comments Waghorn basically is a worse version of Jukebox. Very similar players but the difference is Jukebox is actually very strong and pretty good in the air and can turn his man very effectively unlike Waghorn.

alexeilh Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Bye Bye Sam Have no idea where he'll fit into West Ham's side, seeing as Carew, Cole and Piqueonne are better strikers. Unless the big man little man idea is what Big Sam wants? Baldock's a pacey little thing, stronger than you'd expect from the size of him. Almost like a much-lower-league-but-when-he-was-good Michael Owen at times. Would be amazing to see him in the PL but i'm not totally sure he's quite good enough for up there. Who knows? Fair play to him for getting such a good move. He'll be missed at MK, first ever academy player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
