I've heard we put in a 7-day approach for a target man striker, who plays in this division, and has also played for Culverhouse before.

You say "surprises", but it's pretty clear Cully has seen enough of this squad to know it's not gonna work for him. Could be a busy week!

Have Culverhouse sides ever played with the stereotype target man though? Can't really see a Denton, Rhead or Beck fitting the style of play

Can think of one centre forward in our division who has played for Culverhouse before. But the one I'm thinking of has also played for us before, which you'd probably have mentioned. Unless double bluffing?

Doesn't really sound his style but target men can work in otherwise "footballing" teams. There's one doing it quite well at Man City right now....

The name I heard who is leaving will please some. I was a fan. Look back on one of my previous posts for a clue😉

It's none of those.

Darlington bound

Joe Leesley off to Darlington, eh? He'll probably be brilliant for them.

On loan. The flack he was getting off the usual suspects was unfair in my opinion. Who will they pick on now?

I'm sure there's an element that just goes to games to be destructive, I just find the whole experience of supporting Utd a really negative one at present.

I hope it changes as I used to love going to games at YS but I've found since the move there's been a definite increase in negativity and hostility towards the players.

They'll probably just aim it at the bench again.

Along with Crawford I thought Joe has been quality in the middle. Good move for him to be fair. Hopefully will be a signing or two announced.

- Gash at Lynn was a lump up there with Marriott from what I remember of them when they did us on NYD in the year they won the league

we need more than one or two! A robust centre half, playmaker in midfield, someone to link midfield to the forward line, and a goal scoring forward. Not much to ask, and I’m sure it’s somewhat down to budget, but the PC era has left the current regime horribly short across the park. I’ve never been Leesley’s biggest fan, but nor am I his biggest critic, and I agree Fishtoft Crew, his passing quality has shown when playing deep in central midfield. Look at yesterday’s benign and frankly boring offering, surely there was a place for JL on that field?

Two more players leaving? I heard a rumour yesterday.  Will not please some if true.

Solanke returns.  Good news.

Solanke hasn't had a chance, so let's give him his opportunity. I liked the look of Mbeke in the midfield role (pre-season was good), but don't know whether he'll ever come back.

He was the rumour I heard. Seems nothing has come of it though.

We have a new striker. Hallelujah!

I know a few people wanted United in for Zak Goodson when he was absolutely blitzing the goals in for Ilkeston - well, your wish has finally been granted... for a month!
Title: Re: New look team
Post by: Oakham Pilgrim on October 28, 2022, 05:10:28 PM
And the month includes a lot of games.

2x 1 Month loanees is a welcome change but if we get anymore month loans they'll all leave and were back to square one.

And a winger - eureka!

It strikes me that we need an uncompromising central defender. How long will it be before the skipper is fit?

Joe Leesley playing in his preferred position at Darlington makes National league north team of the week.

Leesley loan spell about to end,  will he return? Scored again last match.
