skinny arab Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Without knowing a single thing about him, I can confirm our new centre half Ollie Denham is a better goalie than Birighetti. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captainkev Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Although he's currently back in Australia for personal reasons, going by the way Goodwin was talking it seems Behich is likely to be on the move soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only sizable because it's filled with kids* who for the most part haven't been able to get a regular game before. *Chalmers and Glass are 23 now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf that's got 1 million percent more tenacity and bite than last season. With the added bonus of no poppadom paws in goal. Cover for most positions too bar a couple 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideally we should be aiming for a squad that has less remarkable individual talents, but collectively is more than the sum of it's parts. Of course there's fine line though between achieving that or just building an average (if that) Championship squad that isn't good enough for promotion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RawB93 Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 (edited) 3 hours ago, Pull My Strings said: Decent pedigree for each of these guys, I think. The keeper appears to have just signed for Luton so presumably he's pretty well regarded to be getting a move to a Premier League team (albeit clearly not the finished article). 22 games in the Championship in the season before last. He never got a move to a Premier League team though, did he?. He was signed as backup (with Luton 7th in the Championship) so they could send their own youth keeper the opposite way on loan and then failed to make a single appearance. Now that they are a premier league club he’s been punted at the earliest convenience. I appreciate any keeper is an upgrade for yous at this moment in time but come on, eh?

Regardless of what level we are playing at I’d like to see a couple of ‘difference maker’ type players. Maybe some of the youngsters will step up to the plate and provide that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were a few occasions last season were he had defenders tied in knots trying to deal with him, but his end product was severely lacking. It may only have been a friendly, but it's encouraging to see he got on the scoresheet at the weekend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lad got injured in training early after signing for Luton. Agree it's a stretch to link Luton's success to him, but we're desperate for good keeper news. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
