County squad thread - comings, goings & rumours

Defo room for another attack minded midfielder IMO if you've got Diamond, Fevrier but he had few injury struggles as ball carrying winger/no 10 types there is a noticeable drop off then when they go off, we have Mothersille too but remains to be seen on what position we settle on with him so Williams would make sense always good to have a additional option like that to come off bench

You can then have Fevs and Diamond wreak havoc for 60 mins and bring someone else on without a drop off in intensity

We looked a bit labored at Wycombe not having someone at top end of pitch that gave them something to think about on the counter and we had to grit it out with little threat to them or control so we do need that option

This would also suggest Onyango now won't come in as Williams plus Dixon be 5 loans and not really good practice to go over that and have someone sitting out the 18

Ideally we need another number 8 midfielder with slightly different profile but unless we want to try for a perm signing may not be scope unless can find a taker for a fiorini or Bailey

we play with wingbacks but quite often our no 10s will find themselves in wide areas certainly in transitional phases and see Diamond against Wycombe often isolating himself 1 v 1 at either full backs or side centre halves he's done them down the sides twice for the goals, so those positions are often hybrid positions where we look for 10s that can split into wide areas with capacity to beat a man, at the min we have Camps there he's doing ok but a little like Collar wouldnt say its wholly natural to him and that could free him up to play deeper and replace Bate

Sometimes we look a 3421 sometimes a 3412 and sometimes a 343 if its the latter the side positions of the top 3 you want people that can finish and deliver a ball for you, most of our options are decent off both feet too Fevs is pretty much 2 footed and Diamond good with his left setting 1st up at Wycombe and having shot from distance just wide against Crewe as cases in point, Williams seems to be in same mould and would give us more options than a Bailey in that respect so i think there is scope for it, out of possession we often defend as a 4 with Olowu last week shifting over tov right back to defend Onyedinma and dodgson slotting into the 4  then if we turnover possesion generally will look for one of midfilders in Norwood or Moxon to go through and pick out players and counter often in 4231

think we play 2x 10s behind a striker away and maybe 2 strikers and 1x 10 more often at home

Wogan has joined chester on an emergency 7 day loan

what makes you think that

He was OK. I'm not sure where this idea that he was some kind of lower league world-beater is coming from (by some, not you). I genuinely think people are imagining it.
