We need to give Oscar Godern a contract as well as the midfielder signing hopefully in the next 48 hours! Today's midfield by the sounds of it was very old! Foley as back up not first choice! And I hate to say it Jackson! Left winger! Yes 5 years ago but not now!
The system we played today, laurie Wilson would have been ideal.
Saw him in the Bolton team today before the matches all started. First thought was how we desperately need someone like him now.
Wasn't fantastic but was alright, I guess you don't know what you got till its gone. Wilson would've drove us forward, showed determination and worked hard. Him in front of Solly and Holmes on the left if he wasn't going to start Lookman, would be ideal for us in the current situation.
Regarding Mcgennis, I've seen a little of him and he looked more like an athlete than a footballer. The problem is we don't have enough footballers, but we also don't have many out and out athletes either. Ideally I'd say don't touch with a barge pole but I don't know if we'd get anyone else in, let alone someone better, if we don't get him.
So glad we got in a British manager to play a flat 4-4-2 with two midfielders who can run around a bit, a narrow winger, and a tricky winger. Two "no-nonsense" center backs who are slow on the turn and poor with the ball at their feet, and little and large up front. It's tactics straight out the 1970s!!!

Yeah the whole British thing was massively overated. Best players we have had technically over the last few years have all been foreign - JBG, Buyens, Bulot, Ben Haim.
We have gone too far the other way. We needed a blend of both.

Completely agree. Our best technical player now is Diarra.

Maybe Simpson is the one who is due to join us before the Cheltenham game. ITTV think he could be and I'd say both would be useful additions.
1) never been linked with us other than people on this forum saying they would like him.
2) is actually not that good anymore - orient fans say his best days are behind him (and his best days were as a lower league winger). Not the answer.
