Title: MIDFIELD?
Post by: CRANWELL PILGRIM on July 22, 2009, 03:47:23 PM
All this talk about keepers and strikers. What about midfield?????

Liam can obviously play there in a holding role but Milly is obviously still out and Kirk doubtful. That just leaves Cammy now we have let the other trialist go.

I know we have not needed a midfield in recent years but thought we were going to play a bit this year.

What is the secrecy about "trialist". We all know it is Danny Sleath. Looked good so far. Lets get him signed up.

Upward and onwards. ;)

I was thinking the same..now we are ok in defence and attack,and we haven't enough players for the midfield... I thought that at least one of the trialists would have signed but they've all been released except Suarez  ::)

Maybe they have other/better options available, as pre season progresses then players start to get desperate, I am sure they have plenty of irons in the fire

Somebody on here said that Danny Sleath signed after the Lincoln game, could be like the Canners saga where he signed but it took a while for it to be officially announced for whatever reason. Even if he has signed we still need a right winger and possibly a left winger if Kirk doesn't end up here. I would say we also need another GK, another striker, a left back and another centre mid - somebody who can get goals...so still a lot of work/players to get in.

How do you rate Sleath?

Anyway..now we need at least another midfielder,or 2 ( I don't know if Millson is recovering well from injury...do you have any news? ).

I thought Sleath was excellent v Lincoln. He and Camm were everywhere in the middle, a real high energy performance. Again at Town in the first half he was class. Couldn't get last night so can't comment.
As regards the other midfielders I wasn't surprised that Askham hasn't been signed. He's a very talented lad, as you can see from the YouTube clips, and had a decent performance against Lincoln but against Town he didn't seem to have any sense of position and defensively he might as well not have been there. Not the type of player that H&S seem to be looking for. I think Kennedy on he other hand seems to fit the bill and has got to be worth a shout. Unless that is they have better up there sleeves?
What was Weedon like?

Quite liking this swap we are doing with Ilkeston of sides from last year. They did alright and we didn't so surely we're onto a winner

So let me get this right in my head - we are the new ilkeston, stamford are the new boston, and holbeach or the new spalding?!?!

When you sign one player in this leave is it stipulated that you have to sign all his car share buddies too?
