Can't you just put Garner in at RB and with Dixon and Myko and Young LB because in all reality that's what we're looking at by December at the latest.

IMO our RBs for the season should be Garner as a starting RB and Dixon coming in when Garner is out injured or suspended.

Garner is now crowded out of MF and effectively has only one place to slot into now.

Actually don't mind this. Just can't see Dyche picking him there over Coleman and Young.

Do this lot get us the goals we need to stay up?

no.

the manager needs to change his tactics, and NONE of these get anymore than 5 this season.

Not having Harrison Armstrong in the squad ? Will he disappear back to the youth teams ?

@Goat

With the signing of Mangela, I suspect so.

 

[Nymzee]

No more ins now so time for a comparison. On the left is the side beginning of the window (red denotes missing player, player we want to sell & player we thought might go). Right is squad end of the window.

Better but still highlights how poor we are full-back and up front.

6-7 from a couple of them will be just about be enough if there's a similar number of clean sheets.

For last season's comfortable mid table finish (points) it was Calvert Lewin with 7 prem goals, Beto with 3, Harrison with 3 and Dwight with 3. So none of the forward options bar DCL scored more than 4 goals despite many minutes played and yet it was 48 points accumulated.

That on its own is way Branthwaite is already a 70m valued player with his importance last season.

Have to hope Ndiaye gets an early prem goal or two as very unlikely Doucoure will contribute the amount of goals he did last season, well up to January at least.
