melthebell   862 #49 Posted April 9, 2017 I'm not sure Wilder's decisions are a gamble to be honest. He seems to know what he's doing. its always a gamble whether you know or not, getting the right player, sometimes it works sometimes not Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Guest   #50 Posted April 9, 2017 What worries me is the number of goals we shipped this season. If we don't strengthen the defence, we might find ourselves in trouble.  Midfield should survive nicely.  Perhaps the addition of another proven striker would give us the firepower needed up front.  I'd be against wholesale changes because it takes time to gel, it's expensive and I honestly don't think we need it.  Just my two penneth.

This is how I'd go about it. You'll know after 15 - 20 games if you're up for it or not. The January window could be your time?

Bladesman   10 #54 Posted April 9, 2017 Improve the spine of the team a bit more.  A defender, a couple of more pacey midfielders and a striker. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Treeman893 Â Â 10 #57 Posted April 10, 2017 (edited) Well done to them Blades. I think Utd will survive in the championship, look at Barnsley. Now do us Owls want to get battered every week in the Premiership or be taking six points off Utd :hihi: Edited April 10, 2017 by Treeman893 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Ridgewalk   97 #59 Posted April 10, 2017 Seems odd to be talking about what we'll require or how we'll perform in the Championship when we still have a handful of games left this season.  If after a number of games we clearly need players coming in I'd be concerned about what money will be available to invest in improving the squad.  What is the attitude of the "Prince" to spending, how wealthy is he and what would be his willingness to commit ?  Ideally our current squad will be sufficient.

Make too many and it takes time for the team to gel.  It's a difficult balancing act but I'm sure Chris Wilder has already thought that one through.
