after holmes and adams - it was d'ath and potter
both were utter dogs***
D'Ath was a good young player who like most young players was a bit hit and miss. But he had talent and gave it his all, he was certainly nowhere near the level you make out.

.....surely you are forgetting the legend Graham Felton!
Then again you did say hit & miss!
He also said in the 30 years he has been watching -The legend that was Graham (hit him with your handbag!!) Felton dazzled us quite a while before that

d'ath played ok up until Christmas 2015 so to accuse him of utter dross is a bit of f the mark. No query on Potter!

I see AFC Wimbledon have signed Concrete Rod
Interesting neither us nor Coventry saw Rod as a player that could do it in division 1, although Wimbledon clearly think he can . He’s one of those players that can be brilliant and then appear useless in the same game .

Lets not forget that Ricky was injured until December…Adams carried the attacking flair up to that point. And once Ricky came back (to score the winning goal at Luton that put us top), Adams form dropped off massively.
Wingers are 99% hit and miss. In the 30 years I've seen us play, we've had about 2 consistent ones. Holmes and Eddie McGoldrick. Success can be achieved without out and out wingers and usually is.
You forgot Barry Lines and Tommy Robson, possibly Dixie McNeil as well.

Dixie McNeil wasn't a winger.

Chris Day in as goalkeeping coach, does that count as a signing?

Yes, it's a very important roll. All is good as long as Paddy Kenny stays away.

Quite possible. I thought he was signing for someone with a contract offer we couldn't match.

Perhaps DA hasn’t signed a wide player because there isn’t one available that improves on what we have got already? That would be a refreshing change from the apparent recent policy of signing the best of a bad bunch just for the sake of it?

You could prob pick someone up on the racecourse that would provide a better option than hoskins and waters wide. Bit of an exaggeration but pretty much anything would be an improve on the 1 half decent wide player we have.

Ridiculous! You don't actually believe that do you? Looking forward to Saturday's game?

I'm pretty happy with our squad! Reckon that, as a couple of other posters have suggested, wingers will be used as inside forwards - as in they will cut inside often. This is usually only an effective tactic when you have good central midfielders to control possession and interchange possession with the wingers and forwards to work the ball towards the goal. Also out-and-out wingers who run down the wing and deliver the ball straight in (a la Hackett) tend to go with big target men strikers to aim for (see Charlie Wyke, Jabo Ibehre, John Akinde etc.). I think we'll look to play possession football to work the ball into the net, being patient with it and not rushing it. The second goal against Barnet was a good example!
Roll on Saturday!

Dixie McNeil wasn't a winger.
He ended up as left winger for only a few games here signed for another club and did pretty well at Lincoln and Wrexham

I don’t mind who he tries wide unless it is Hoskins . Hoskins has been played in that position by the last 4 managers and it hasn’t worked once that I remember. I agree that we will be playing very narrow because there is no natural width from full back either , especially on the left . Yes, the right full backs are quicker but we will be playing 4 4 2 by the looks of it . Once again , it depends on who stays at the club but if they all do remain , then I think Powell and Crooks will play wide .

Ridiculous! You don't actually believe that do you? Looking forward to Saturday's game? I am as it happens and yes I think we are still incredibly short of quality in wide areas. Lack of any creative spark was a real issue last year and yes morais will help with that for sure, and the racecourse was an exaggeration but I think you could quite easily pick up a decent winger even on loan.
