Next season....what do we need?

Post by LoveCurryPies » Sat Apr 15, 2017 7:51 pm

I think most fans realise we are likely to avoid relegation.

So what do we need next season to retain further years?

No 1 priority to me is retaining Sean. I think he has motivated the players beyond what was expected and deserve given our away games.

Tom and the defence have been solid and perhaps the real heroes to this season. Looks like we will lose Keane but at least we should be well compensated so inna good position to bring in more talent.

I think we've lacked upfront fire power and many say Gray hasn't been supplied by midfield. We undoubtedly have some talented players in those areas but I suspect that's where we really need to strengthen.

I'm going to put my hand up and say I'm no expert. These are just my observations and I don't mind if you think it's complete boll0x.

So what do you think we need to do? Can we survive more than one season? Personally, I think so and I hope so.

We need for KBRFC, BurnleySYS (silly young sod) and Abluecarrot to not have internet connection.

Some exciting football. Is that too much to ask?

This obsession with Tarka is unhealthy.

I know. He's nowhere near as good as Reny Smith in midfield.

Depends on who goes, but we could need about half a team, which is asking a lot of our manager and our recruitment team.

Do I have to comment on every thread stating what we need next season or can I just stay on this one??

What we need or what we try to get is relative to how progressive and positive our manager is willing to be. There's no point replacing Boyd with a more attacking footballer if the role the manager asks him to play is to run all day and shield the full back

Before we think about signing anyone I hope we can look to get Defour and (£5m) Westwood in the team, get Hendrick playing to his strengths up with the forwards and give Brady a real license to go and attack a team to death

If not Dyche might as well stick with the players he knows will run through walls for him and trust we can edge enough home wins to survive again

What do you think Dyche's no.1 priority is for next season LCP, retaining his wife?

We are not scoring enough goals so we need players who can help address this. I'd say a couple of strikers and a proper winger.

Tarks and Edgar playing as a def mids,
Riordan up top fed by Driver on the left.

Sorted.

Oh Ablue as Director of Football, would be perfect. Already has a portfolio of positions filled by Tarkowski
