I wouldn't expect us to replace him with someone as good, but the fact that Yates - a kid still very much learning his trade who prob needs another year or two - is his cover is shocking really.
The drop from Sow to Yates is huge. We should have someone at least a bit more seasoned to fill in.
It's a shame that we didn't keep Geddy. I was happy to see him off the wage bill, bbut in this setup I think he'd offer us more than Yates.
Not sure about Geddy but any attacking additional midfielder would have been a bonus at this point. Semedo and Bostock's failure to establish themselves has been costly.
Not a 'joke' but more likely part of the reality of shifting gears from a high wages turnover club to a well run club.
5th proves they are doing something(s) right.
Gueddy was spent and inconsistent at best. He was on good money for not playing half the time. That isn't sustainable to have (he was one of about 9+ players not playing half the time...) that.
Forest brought in the 'more' seasoned 'Bostock' but it didn't work out. So we play Yates who is on the road to being 'that' player.
Just as Cash and Worrall were over the last 3 years.
Forest have been badly run in the past. It takes time to shape a new reality.
SA.
Explain the first bit regards "shifting gears" mate? How does that affect the fact that there's no genuine middle-ground cover between Sow & Yates?
See Bostock osn't more seasoned. He's not played in this league for ages until this year. Geddy was at least playing in it (albeit he was getting past it)
All our squad apart from Zach Clough & the academy players have been signed by the new owners. If we're being weighed down by wages & suchlike, that's down to this regime, not the last one.
