HoylandOwl Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 We’re being linked with a move for a Crystal Palace player Malcolm Ebiowei. Tbh, I know absolutely nothing about him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tylluan Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 I'd heard Mighten was going back to Forest so he might be the replacement. Started off at Arsenal, then Rangers B, then ended up at Derby as he didn't like Scotland. Was involved in most of Derby's games from February last season. Started in 9 of them and sub in others. 1 goal and 3 assists. He's very lively and direct and the fact he has recent Championship experience suggests he'd be a better fit than Mighten. Can't go back to Derby as Palace want a loan fee for him but they also want guaranteed playing time in his primary right wing position. That would mean a formation switch for us. Can see him going to Hull, though, as he worked with Rosenior last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilks also had 9 assists and his created chances (resulting in an attempt on goal) percentage was 78%. Both would be accommodated by 4-2-3-1 (the way Warne set Rotherham up for most of the second half of last season) where Windass or Bannan could play in the centre of the 3. Or 4-2-2-2 where the middle two go wide and Gregory and Smith can both play up top. Means no room for Bannan though as the two defensive mids would have to be solid workhorses.

HoylandOwl Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 I can't see him playing for us, not with Akin coming back into the fold now. So wouldn't be a bad thing to see him go out again and get more experience. I want them to go out and play like McGuinness et al do for us when we get players in and earn their stripes.

HoylandOwl Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 'A bit sad' That's the reaction from a 'fan pundit' on Football League World on the potential of Paterson moving on. As I've said before, his endeavour and effort are certainly endearing. But.... A bit sad if he goes. Really????? It'll be the right move for all parties IMO. He'd go to a club who wants him, he will go with a thank you for your sterling effort from us, and we all move on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tylluan Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 3 hours ago, HoylandOwl said: Could he be any good though Ty? Heckinbottom and Geary both don't want him at the club but there'll be at least a 20% sell on clause added to any move. He was training with the first team back in April and the thinking is that's where his delusions of grandeur started. Slapped a transfer request in when he wasn't given a squad number but got shipped out to Scarborough and lasted 4 games before they kicked him back. He's one of those players that can look amazing at his age level and maybe he wasn't cut out for the slightly more agricultural National North. He does have a trick or two and his preferred role is as a deep lying 10. Scarborough stuck him wide. If he was at a bigger club then maybe more people would have noticed him but he's equally as likely to have big things said about him then drop off the face of the earth when his academy days are over. I'd take him if we had a proper B team set up rather than the 21s. That way we could have seen how he'd adapt to playing against older players without taking a gamble on a first team shirt. If he comes and we stick him in the 21s then we'll probably have the same problem as them down the road. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrolMong Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 Still not convinced that as a striker, we have someone who actively keeps trying to go in behind. Windass and Wilks want it to feet, Smith is a target man, Gregory will go in behind but he’s missed a few. If Paterson is going, I’d rather us go and get someone who wants to chase and go over the top to turn people around. We have too many players who want it into feet as forwards. I think that resolves our midfield issues as it puts less reliance on them having to open someone up with magic, which is largely what Bannan and DB have to do.

At times I've been bit critical of Windass as I think he is much better than this standard and he hasn't always shown thst 4 me. Although that's not entirely down 2 him. He has pace,he showed that under Pulis where he played as a lone striker and did well tbf but I wouldn't class him as out and out striker.

Tylluan Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 If we play with balls over the top to chase and get in behind them we'd have to change our style of play. At the moment the amount of sideways possession we do allows teams to set up which is why we have to play to feet and look to go beyond or go wide and fling it in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
