I’m not feeling wowed by any of these signings so far. I’m not daft enough to expect top line quality but it is all feeling pretty journeyman so far. Hope I’m completely wrong and will love it if I am
I have to ask though when did a CB ever wow the fanbase.
All you want in a CB is consistency in terms of their ability to defend. Last season unfortunately l believe someone like Opoku has the talent but he just lost focus during a 90 min game too many times.
I think it’s the midfielders, the wide men and the forwards that often give the “wow” factor.
Bradley came in and wasn’t a wow factor player but when he left he was. Bradley was idolised by the fanbase. Yet l believe he looked so good because he was a consistent good defender and the others around him were so shocking.
Coughlan was one of my favourite defenders. However, he lacked a lot of pace. Yet he gave everything and got stuck in.
To be honest after watching Argyle defensively last season surely solid L1 players in Wilson and Bolton is a better platform to develop your team from than a Watts and Opkou.
