Areas to strengthen

[Presto]

The second half of this season has seen us get a pretty good back 4 in place. Wotton and Walton have given some backbone to the midfield however there has been little or no creativity coming from the midfield and that has to be addressed. Chadwick and Macdonald have worked hard both up front and in Macdonald's case covering back. Certainly would like to keep Macdonald for his work rate but we are desperate for a striker who puts the ball in the net. Chadwick/Feeney have not done this neither have any of the other combinations we seen up front.

Hopefully assuming we do stay up a bit of reorganisation and a review of the salary structure will enable so money/wages go towards the key area of weakness ie agoa
Scorer and some creativity I the midfield. :scarf:

Sorry about the spelling pushed the go button too soon!

A box to box creative centre mid, a new left wing and a new strike force. Feeney's style is more suited to a winger and as much as I love Chadders he's injury prone and would be much better as a supersub

I think the 2 main ingredients for getting out of league 2 are Pace and thuggery. A bit short on pace at the moment.

Good call! Although i have to say many of the pacier players at this level seem inconsistant and lack end product ala Daley and Hemmings. Then again thats evident at the top level if you look at people like Walcott and Lennon.

For all the plaudits for Ashley Hemmings he has failed to get an assist so far this season. Young, Lennox and MacDonald have just one assist apiece. And our joint highest assister, Bhasera, has 3 to his name. 6 assists in total between our wingers, not a good return. If there was one position I would be looking to recruit, a wide midfielder would be it.

Central Midfield, another winger and 2 strikers. Plus Kevin Phillips

Really? Im sure Hemmings put in the cross for Chadders goal against Northampton.

Correct! Almost his first touch!

 

[Connor Clarke]

A creative midfielder and a striker who can score 15-20 goals a season.

Here's my source: LINK

BBC has Hourihane as the assister for that goal: LINK

Would love to see connor Clifford signed on, but am dubious

 

[Lee Payne]

A creative midfielder and a pacy striker!!

 

[Nick Prideaux]

Definitely need someone who can net 20+ goals a season. Rest of the team is very strong.

Everyone needs one of them, unfortunately they are few and far between.

Certainly you don't need pots of money. A few shrewd signings, a manager who can motivate and get the best from his players, fitness and training, teamwork and team spirit, effort and determination.

Follow Torquay's example: we don't have the greatest strike force, but our defence and midfield have some quality players, so we play a system which makes best use of our strengths, and goals can come from anywhere in the team, enough to give us loads of 1-0 wins.

Best of luck to Argyle for next season; promotion to League One..
