NKP and McMahon out. McGowan and Riley in.
That's already a huge improvement from the defence we had for most of last season to be fair. 2 poor players out and 2 quality ones in. Bring in one additional defender of high calibre and all of a sudden we have quite a strong defence. we can then focus on improving the rest of the team.
At the moment i'd say we are a good quality winger, Central midfielder and striker short. A team looking similar to this for example should be able to compete for a playoff spot:
.-------------- Doyle
Chicksen Killgallon Mcgowan Riley
*Marshall *Cullen Reeves Gibson
---------- Wyke *Vassell
Hopefully our owners are ambitious enough to go for players of similar quality because we are not far off being a decent side.

Chicksen shit....Reeves largely shit...Wyke will not be a city player... it's ok saying similar to Marshall Cullen and Vassell but looking around that quality isn't really availiable in the format Rahic wants. We genuinely need another 10 players for a good squad and while Riley seems a decent start it takes a lot more convincing to think we will have a decent squad

We genuinely need another 10 players for a good squad and while Riley seems a decent start it takes a lot more convincing to think we will have a decent squad Reeves and Chicksen can be improved on definitely but this is a piss poor division. You don't need every player in your starting 11 to be pure quality. About 5 or 6 players who an make a genuine difference is usually enough. It was more or less the template we had for our previous 2 campaigns where we had reached the playoffs. Whether we can attract players such as Cullen and Marshall remains to seen (unlikely I'd say) but it was just an example to see what a couple of good players does to the overall quality of a team. if our starting 11 looked something similar to the above id be reasonably happy. A massive improvement to the team we saw last season anyway.

Behave! Even if that was the first 11, which it won’t be, I couldn’t see it being a play offs team. Where’s the steel? Where are the goals and assists?!? Gibson first choice winger? Haha Plus it’d be a bench of uttershit. Fucking hell one cunting signing and we’re one or two away from the play offs?? Get a fucking grip man.

He never recovered from McMahon embarrading him at pompey and making him look and feel a cunt

He never recovered from McMahon embarrading him at pompey and making him look and feel a cunt I've said it before but I think Reeves was ruined by our flat and pedestrian midfield. When he was playing well at the start of the season his head was up before he received the ball, looking for the pass but we sucked that right out of him by robbing him of any options. He's a player who tries to make a team tick and likes to push the game on. He was left completely bereft of out-balls in our sideways-looking side and suffered as a result. Give Reeves options like Gibson and a proper left winger and I think we'll see the Reeves we saw at the start of last season.

Riley might be shite, he might not be, but we've signed him and signed him early and that's no bad thing. Loathes me to say it, but credit where its due.

I said another quality defender, a midfielder, winger and striker. Along with Mcgowan and Riley who look good on paper, that would mean 6 quality players who we didn't have last season. How would that not make a difference to the team? As our Wembley squad showed, all this team is missing are 4 good players (Marshall, Cullen, Meredith and Mcardle). It's a shit division which is very low quality. As long as there are enough quality players in your team you don't necessarily need every player in the starting 11 to be dynamite. Our previous 2 playoff campaigns showed this.

He never recovered from McMahon embarrading him at pompey and making him look and feel a cunt what happened at Portsmouth? We got a throw in in the last few moments Reeves wanted it to feet quickly McMahon wanted to waste time. Reeves threw his arms up in disgust so McMahon dropped the ball and started berating him getting in his face. The whole ground erupted in laughter and it visibly shook Reeves confidence. From then on every game I saw Reeves was shit and never went near McMahon either.

He never recovered from McMahon embarrading him at pompey and making him look and feel a cunt Reeves is awful, looks “busy” but when you take a step back and ask yourself what did he actually do to positively change a game...he’s found wanting. He constantly gets caught in front of the ball leaving a Manbun shaped hole in the centre of the park for the opposition to exploit at will. We need to improve on him, which we won’t, to have any chance of being a competitive team. As for Chicksen, he was better than I first feared but like the rest of his career, it was an injury riddled season. He looks a bit limp, a bit wet...gets bullied too often and that isn’t going to cut it unfortunately.

I've said it before but I think Reeves was ruined by our flat and pedestrian midfield.

Give Reeves options like Gibson and a proper left winger and I think we'll see the Reeves we saw at the start of last season. Fucking Gilliead ruined him Aye, partly. But he’s got a defensive, immobile midfielder next to him in Dieng or Vincelot, a winger who isn’t a winger and doesn’t push forward on his left in Law, a winger who does nothing on his right in Gillead and a back-to-goal striker in Wyke who doesn’t make runs for through balls. For a lad who likes to get the ball and move it on quickly there’s no options except the square ball or to push on himself and attacking runs in possession aren’t his game. We bought a get-it-and-give-it midfielder, surrounded him with statues and decided he was going to be our attacking midfielder despite him playing as a defensive playmaker his entire career. It’s no wonder he faded and never came back. This might be overly optimistic of me but I think if we give him some movement around him we’ll see a far better Reeves. And that’s about as gomperish as I’ll ever get.
