The 2 new signings Harry Toff and Andrade reflect major gaps positionally that needed filling as players departed and do not reflect in my opinion a presumed change in the method of play as some assume.
Signing 1 :Andrade a wideman brought in to give width when we had lost 4 widemen......... Arnold,Stewart,Williams,Rowe and the only other wideman H has lost his mojo. Good move DC.(i feel more wingers will arrive)
Signing 2: Harry toff brought in to fill a severe deficiency on the left and to give balance and cover for Habergham who spent the whole season with hardly a cover playing in front of him,thus exposed too often.
DC discussed this leftside shortfall in an audiboom earlier and some of the bright lads on here like NLONDONIMP have been shouting about left sided investment in the side for a very long time but with the window re opened it`s getting sorted.
To me 2 signings fixing squad composition shortfalls
Let`s take stock of DC`S success here so far all playing"on method").......
promotion back to the league,quarter final of facup,Wembley Checkatrade trophy win,playoffs position.
Why would any manager in his right mind turn around and dump a successful playing model (league win ratio 54.3%)
i have yet to hear the interview where DC says to Hortin: "Michael i have a confession to make, big changes are afoot, old methods we used over the last two seasons when we had loads of success have just been flushed down the khazi ,me and Nick have had a" David Icke" moment it`s all changing here at LCFC.
Hortin (in shock) seriously DC i`m saddened to hear that?
DC in reply:Michael , i`m only spoofing you, why would i interfere with a winning formula,,we will be back" on method" and even more successfull.
Champage corks pop all over studio...Hortin bursts into tears!
Can`t wait for the transit load of new lads to arrive(no panic we can currently still put up a decent starting 11) and one of the first DC interviews will mention "the new guys on method" asap.
Jose,Big Alex ,DC ,Pep none of them have a history of changing successful winning strategies.
....still we are all entitled to our humble opinions.
