    Nothing against Washington but that's the position in this XI we most urgently need strengthening in 
    It doesn't help that Gunter doesn't have a left foot either.

    Dobson going to be a good signing for us this season I think
    I wasn’t massively enthused when we signed him, but he’s impressed me over the pre-season. Think the battle between him, Clare and Gilbey will be really interesting as I think max two of them can make the starting XI (unless we push Clare further forward if Albie doesn’t make the cut).
  • If they can stay fit, Dobson and Clare could be our most important signings this season.

    If the mackems have two midfielders better than Dobson they win the league!

    Ohhh Clare... She should have done so much better
    Always said he was a poor signing. We need a massive overhaul in the middle of the park if we want anything from this season. 
    What’s that based on? And how does one mistake in a friendly against a team from a higher league prove you were correct?
    I assume you have not read all my other posts in various threads, including this one on the last page, where I mention how excited I am with the signing of Clare.

    I guess if not I should start doing a disclaimer every post I make which is a joke/parody. 
    Fair enough, I most likely have but can’t remember who rated him and who hasn’t.

    Could we put Morgan out there with Jaiyesimi on the right & Stockley + Washington through the middle?

    If we start the season with Gunter at left back we are fucked

    Adkins wants his 4-3-3. We need to sign a wide forward as a priority

    Not a bad half for us but disappointing to go behind playing a high line when you can’t afford to be on your heels for a through ball or fail to pick up a runner. Should’ve been 2-0 in front before that with good chances for Morgan and Clare spurned. Washington has also been wasteful with his decision making in good attacking areas.

    No doubt on our list though I’d happily wait for it to be the last signing if we get the right player.

    Decent first half, defended well overall, but class of Fulham showing in build up play, but so far so good, can see us getting back in this second half.

    Shape good, midfield solid and passed it to teammates unlike the Pratley Era. Promising

    Sticking rigidly to a formation rather than letting the players you have dictate how you set up gives me Karl Robinson vibes.

    I feel sure Adkins has realised that, even before you did. :wink:

    No they cant mate. Apparently that spot is already taken by Barcipswich

    Washington’s looked reluctant to use his left foot, it made him too predictable.
    We need a Maatsen/Dasilva/Wiggins clone making that run outside of him. That will hopefully let him get the half yard he needs to get shots off.

    4-3-3 suits all of our players except Washington. It's a good set-up that needs a tiny bit of personnel fine-tuning

    Overall I’m pleased with that 45 minutes. Really liking the trio of Dobson Clare and Morgan. DJ and Matthews been great down the right side too.

    Every promotion season has had a main formation, having that and style of play is a must.

    The test is if and how Adkins changes things if it’s not working. He only lost one league game with us last season so there hasn’t been a reason to change it yet. I hope he won’t stick with it like Robinson if we go on a bad run.

    If Washington has a flying full back behind him, it could work really well and also allows us to flex 4-3-3 to 4-4-2 very easily.

    I’d love a young clone of Andy Reid.

    Play like this we won’t have too many problems.

    We need a LW, LB and some depth really.

    Generally I like the way we are playing however  today our passing from the back seems to be going to the opposition not so much to our players
