No More STRIKERS! midfielders and defenders please

Midfielders and defenders must be priority from now on,

All this talk of Billy wanting 6 strikers is worrying me. We now have 5 strikers capable of causing damage in this league. yet he wants another!

We can have the best striekrs in the world up front but without any creativity in midfield they will be useless, So my first point is that our midfield is lacking, we have a good starting line up but if injuries come , which they inevitably will. I think we will be found wanting.

I also firmly believe that we need at elast 2 more centre backs and a right and left back. Yet Billy talks very little of his defence.

Please Billy more defenders!!
 
I doubt that we are signing players in order of position - I think its purely a case that some deals will take longer than others and there will be a lot going onbehind the scenes that we do not know about.

Besides, Billy has mentioned other positions including defence.

See this article from the NEP where they quote the man himself.

"We still want a centre back, central midfielder and still need another striker and one or two others that will fit in. "There will still be a number of players that come into this football club between now and the start of the season.

"It is all about round pegs in round holes, I have said that all along. "We have to find full backs that are full backs, midfielders that are midfielders. We are trying to do that and will keep working away."

Maybe you should pay a little less attention to the headlines and read a bit further down.

Our defence is woefully inadequate at the moment

Amen to that!

I don't understand the panic over central midfield either we've got plenty there, another player wouldn't hurt to add to the mix but I wouldn't say we were short there.

Do we lack creativity and goals from midfield?

Not really, if anything we probably lack a more defensive minded player there while Moussi was injured. If creativity was the supposed issue there we'd be linked with attack minded players not McKenna. If you think we lack creativity there you may not have been playing too close attention. Either way there's no need to worry about the position to much until the defence is sorted. I don't think it's an issue really though, from the sounds of it we don't have to be restricted to improving either or.

Thinking back to the end pre seasn last year, i though our defence was foolproof. On paper, Bennett, Chambers, Brecks and Wesley looked great.But CC didnt play Brecks, and we got off to a shoddy start.

without Breckin our defence at the moment is weak.

But on the first game of the season we will have a reinforced, better defence.

This may sound stupid, but would it be ridiculous to offer the possibility of using 34-year old Adebola as an emergency defender? Much as Jon Parkin is used at PNE.

We need someone with 'nous'.

Someone who can take control of things and prevent us from running around like headless chickens which, for all their other qualities, our current midfield tend to do through inexperience.

The phrase "square peg in a round hole" comes to mind.

Billy does not approve of them.

The formation for next season will be 2-2-6.
We'll be awesome. We just need Dexter.

In truth, we have missed an old head in midfield for years. As mentioned earlier, someone telling other players what do do would be invaluable. We also need two centre halves (as well as Gunter, of course).

We need to strengthen each area highly. There will be a list of players for each area the 6th striker thing is only being continually brought up because he has confirmed it.

He also mentioned 5 or 6 more signings were on his list and I guess they will all be defenders and midfielders. 2 full backs, at least 1 centre back and I would say a midfielder and a winger. thats 5 signings there.
