Glenn Middleton signs from Doncaster for an undisclosed fee. Could be a wild punt here but with this signing and the rumoured Brighton lad could we potentially be looking at shifting more permanently to a back 5?
Middleton Beckwith EEL Tasker TAR
If not I presume a few options further forward are either on there way out or injured for slightly longer. |  | | |

Says he’s a winger. We already have four wingers. He might be better, but then why have we got all the others?
If someone could explain the thinking behind recruitment they’re doing well. |  |

Another winger feels a bit ridiculous tbh.
And we have paid another fee! |  | | |

I cannot see anywhere, that it as been that we have signed Charlie Tasker on loan or is it just speculation.
In respect to Mani, I pointed out in an earlier post, Mani has scored just 4 goals throughout his EFL career, whereas Rodney has scored around 25 goals in his EFL career. Mani is a good NL striker, but that may be his level, I hope I am proved wrong tonight. |
Tasker signing just announced officially. | | | |

5 wingers yet we could do with an experienced centre back with pace, baffling. |  | | |

Doncaster are reporting it was an undisclosed fee, so why aren’t we? | |

I wonder when the last time was that we started a game without both East and Gilmour? The last relegation season? | | | |

Annnnnnnd, looking at the team, we have five wingers and none of them are playing as such unless it’s TAR and Moss at full back with Hannant on one wing.
Back three of Moss, EEL and Wilson? | |

Yet more injuries. I assume Bilongo is also injured with two youth team players on the bench. We really are down to the bare bones. | | | |

Hannant and Taylor wide with Brown off Mani and who knows at the back? Tobi, Moss, EEL, Wilson or maybe Wilson at centre back and Moss and Tobi at full back? | | | |

3-5-2 at a guess? Not much defensively on the bench if someone gets a knock. | | | |

Could be with Tobi and Hannant as wing backs. | | | |

Tasker signing just announced officially. |
All the BHA fans I've spoken too are very high on him but almost to a man they've commented that he's very good going forward but still a work in progress defensively...which I'm thinking is probably the opposite of what we need?
Time will tell I guess. | | | |

It’s also an illustration of how well coached they were over the last few years, to the point where maybe the players themselves didn’t realise that what was once automatic is not always transferable.
It can be argued that players should be adaptable, but it shows how meticulous the recruitment was to ensure anyone who played fit into a system that was both enjoyable to play and produced results. That those results were at a once in a career level, would make dealing with not winning every week more difficult.
Whilst it’s possible to see why Watson was seen as fitting the club’s philosophy around how we play, what was underestimated (by probably everyone) was how important whoever was chosen also was a good fit to the squad and formation they’d been brought in to play.
If that wasn’t an issue, we’d never have gone back to three at the back v Crawley. |
Looks to me as if IW has found several.of last year's squad unresponsive to him, probably due to the coaching methods you describe. He's therefore bringing in his own players |  |

Better, faster, more accurate... when EEL went off
But no negative, that was entertaining and productive | |

What happened with EEL, he didn't look injured? Great half but we'll probably have to endure a bombardment from Shrews at some point, who've been dire. | | | |

Miles better. We are cutting them to pieces down our left. Mani is even pressuring the ball. The only downside is another injury. Let's push on this second half. | | | |

First day of September and Dan Moss has already done enough to secure my vote for player of the season. An absolute credit to himself and the calm dependability we need when very little seems to make sense at the moment. | | | |
