Thanks Darren :) Yeah I think in League 1 they definitely need to improve that physicality. No doubt they can play football but in a league as physical as this you really need to be able to hold your own and win your individual battles all over the pitch. Very best, KRO! (Matt)
Thank you for your comment Nick and we are pleased you enjoyed the podcast. After relegation there is a really good feel good factor around the club and season ticket sales are flying. I think it is because the fans can see what the owners are already doing and the investment they are making in the club. It certainly feels like good times are around the corner. KRO and kind regards (Gary)
Hope we can keep hold of Bielek. He should be made captain if he stays. A Marlon King type of striker would be great too with that aggressive way he had up front would be great for league one. Great podcast as always lads. KRO
Thank you for your comment and we are really pleased you enjoyed the podcast. Keeping Beilek would be massive for us and he would be a big presence in the team for next season. He could possibly be our new club captain. As you point out a strong striker with some pace would also be just what we need. KRO and kind regards (Gary)
Completely agree mate, especially with his new-ish role he started to develop nearing the end of the season, he's gone to show just how adaptable he is. He would be a brilliant captain
Easy answer to the "Who We need" 15 Jude Bellingham's should do it .. RIP also to Matija Sarkic ( Very Sad news ) and No Age .. Thoughts go out to His Family and Friends
Agree with all your points and we certainly need numbers in this transfer window, as I expect several departments (JJ, Paik, Bacuna, etc). It’s essential we get the spine of the team right - a solid, ball-playing ‘keeper, commanding centre half, midfield enforcer and fast/imposing striker. KRO 👍🏻
Thanks, Stephen :) The spine is absolutely crucial and we need to show a lot more battle and desire than last season that's for sure. Hopefully, we can get some momentum this summer and start getting some players through the door. Very best, KRO! (Matt)
Tottenham, Liverpool, Leicester, Celtic. Davies has been to all these clubs in his career… watch this space! Get the players in who will add steel to the team. We have talent coming from the u21 and u19… The futures blue!! KRO
Thank you for your comment. Chris Davies will certainly have some good contacts at those clubs you mention so that may be a good avenue of players into Blues. As you also point out we have some very good young players of our own and I’m sure we will start to see some of them being given opportunities in the first team next season. KRO and kind regards (Gary)
Many clubs in the premiership will be letting go of lads that didn't quite make it ....iam sure most of them will be good enough for league 1 B6 got rid of 8 of them the other day .
Thank you for comment Michael and we are pleased you enjoyed the podcast. Yes, very sad news about Matija Sarkic and Kevin Campbell. KRO and kind regards (Gary)
Thinking Tyler Robert’s will be key to solving our goal scoring issues hopefully 🤞 along with Dixon who needs to be proven at this level not sure ? and juke playing his part maybe one other youngish out and out forward Feeling the excitement KRO
Thanks for commenting :) I think Tyler Roberts needs to get a little confidence under his belt, and he could be really great this season. We saw little bits of this last season but he never really got the momentum going. I think we will see youngsters getting more minutes this season but we definitely need to bring a couple of strikers in just to fill the squad if nothing else in fear of injury and squad depth in that area :) Very best, KRO! (Matt)
Great video as always...you are my go to video for news. I think pritchard would be good for us in league 1. Andersson and tyler roberts as well. Love to see the young players get a chance. Kro
Thank you for your comment Graham and we are pleased that you are enjoying the content on our channel. Totally agree that Alex Pritchard, Tyler Roberts and Keshi Anderson can all play a big part for us next season. With a full pre-season under their belts and some coaching from Chris Davies and his team I'm hoping to see a freshness about these players. If they can do this it will be like having new signings in the team! KRO and kind regards (Gary)
Listening to your midfield comments I agree we have excess CM's but all similar attributes and styles, We are desperate for a combative Box to box and we may have to sell to fill to add an already oversized Midfield Maikel Kieftenbeld type of player sprinds to mind, What a siging he was! for a mere 200k, That's exactly the type of player we should be going for knew where the goal was too
Thanks for commenting :) Oh wow, I just got flashbacks to 2015-2016! Good reference and a solid player. For the price tag that was a great signing. We certainly need these kinds of combative players in the midfield in League 1. Very best, KRO! (Matt)
Hi Matt, the MK Dons forward your thinking of is Max Dean 👍 he does look good as I watched their play off matches against Crawley. Keep up the great podcasts 👍 KRO Richard
Thank you for your comment. We have made good use of the loan market over recent years (apart from Ollie Burke) and I’m sure we will do the same again this up and coming season. As you point out it really is vital that we challenge at the right end of the table for a change and get back to the Championship ASAP. KRO and kind regards (Gary)
As always great work guys. I think we need to get back to the no excuses/hard work culture of John Eustace. Chris has made a good start by saying that he only wants good people at the club. So more physicality needed, players who get on and work hard for each other, more connection with us fans and some no nonsence centre backs. But most of all we need strikers who can score! It's a problem that we've had for so many years and we really need to address that! For all that, more importantly I was really sad to hear the news about Matija Sarkic. To lose your life at such a young age is tragic. He did well for us and it's a shame that we didn't sign him permanently. RIP
Thank you for your comment Chris. As you point out, very sad news about Matija Sarkic. He was only at Blues a very short time and was very well respected. Such a talent and a real loss at such a young age. You name similar observations to ours and it is clear that we need additions all over the pitch. Matt mentioned in the podcast that we have not had a 20+ a season striker for years and that is a reason why we have struggled to win more games. Hopefully we can sign a striker that can provide that for us although they are not easy to find as every team is looking for the same! KRO and kind regards (Gary)
Thank you for your comment Dave. That’s an interesting one. Tom Cannon is a really good player. That has probably come about because of Chris Davies Leicester links. KRO and kind regards (Gary)
Hi guys Recruitment is going to be crucial and I know Chris Davies has already spoken about the character of the players and that’s good to hear. As for junior Dixon I’d loan him out, I’ve watched him a couple of times and not sure he’s ready tbh KRO
Thank you for your comment Charley. Recruitment really is crucial and I think we will see a lot of new players coming in. I also think that Junior Dixon would benefit from some regular first team experience out on loan. KRO and kind regards (Gary)
Thank you for your comment. A very good prospect that is for sure. I suppose it all depends whether he is happy at Wigan and whether they would want to sell him. I’m also not too sure of his contract situation but definitely a goalkeeper with potential like that would be great. KRO and kind regards (Gary)
Great video as always lads! The Kante in his best days comment made me chuckle - I think we'd take Kante as he is now for League 1 😅. Hopefully we see some big movements from the club
Thank you for your comment. Kante at his best would have been something! I think we were discussing the types of players we would like but you are right I probably got a bit carried away with that one! KRO and kind regards (Gary)
Thank you for your comment Ricky. That's an interesting one. There are a few clubs interested in Marc Leonard so if the JJ link is true then that should give us an advantage over the other teams. KRO and kind regards (Gary)
Thank you for your comment Ricky. I'm sure the club will go down that road for certain signings, which is a good incentive for both the club and the player for things to work out well. KRO and kind regards (Gary)
Thank you for your comment Chris. Absolutely, we definitely need height and physicality added to the squad that was really lacking last season. KRO and kind regards (Gary)
Thank you for your comment Pauly. I think that the difference is that we are finally a club who are moving forward and that will attract players. I'm sure new targets will be sold 'the project' and will be encouraged to be part of a very bright future for our football club. KRO and kind regards (Gary)
Thanks Ashley and this is a really valid point! :) I also don't think he has proved himself at blues or done anything massively impressive to be totally honest. Apparently, he would also have to take a decent wage drop if he was too leave. Not sure of the ins and outs but I'm sure time will tell. Very best, KRO! (Matt)
Thank you for your comment. That was my initial thought as well, however having got one myself, I'm starting to like it more and more! KRO and kind regards (Gary)
❤ up the blues .England yes jude Bellingham one man attacking football ⚽️ with a message to all yes yes up the blues with ❤ and new players coming to play for 2024 25 season up and running 🏃♂️ 👍 😀 😅
Ryan Allsop Is Ruddy's replacement. 15% OF South Korean national squad come from K-league 2 which is lower than UK- league 1 in ranking 9% are out of Australian A-league also lower in ranking than UK- league 1 so I don't get the logic that Paik will need to go to get in to the national squad. Same goes for Miyoshi and the Japanese national squad 13% of them play in Canada all leagues massively lower ranked than UK- league 1. We won't be playing with a Box-to-Box midfielder if we are playing out from the back Its Ticki Tacka its not wing play.
Thank you for your comment. I think that bringing Allsop in will mean that Ruddy will decide to play elsewhere as he will not want to be a number 2 in League One for the last few seasons of his playing career. You make some interesting points about Paik and Myoshi and I really hope you are right as I would love to keep them both. KRO and kind regards (Gary)
Today's Matrix quote - replaced Tank with Wagner, Neo with Davies, guns with players... Wagner: So what do you need? Besides a miracle. Davies: Players. Lots of Players.
🤣🤣 Damn straight we need to start getting some players through the door now. Let’s start getting down momentum in our pre-season. Very best, KRO (Matt)
Thank you for your comment Harvey. I’m sure we will start to see activity for the Blues in the transfer window very soon. I suspect that the club have already identified targets and there is plenty going on in the background that we don’t know about. KRO and kind regards (Gary)
We need a new solid SPINE New keeper New Centre half x 2 Central midfield general - a boss Centre forward And amongst the team at least 3 leaders. - that is the basis for a successful team ....any lazy b.stards get rid of them
Thank you for your comment Andy. Matt referred to that solid spine in the podcast which is so important to a successful team. I think you have hit the nail on the head for what we need and pretty much agree with what myself and Matt were saying in the podcast. KRO and kind regards (Gary)
After the money spent on the ground and shop ,bars etc ..they must have at least a 20 million pound to spend on players ..I suppose they will be juat looking to spend enough to get us out the division and then look to better signings in the championship, but we all know the squad needs improving all over ,strikers are a must either a straight up forward or wingers that score goals ...so optimistic KRO also I'd love them to bring che adams back and pay gis big wages ..wonder if a 5 year contract would turn his head 🤔 considering we'd go up and be pushing for premier league the season after that...also where's Pritchard 🤔
Thank you for your comment Mark. The owners have already invested a lot into the club off the pitch but now it is time to invest in the squad. I don't think they will be able to spend to the levels they probably would have if we had stayed in the Championship however I'm sure for League One we will have a very healthy budget. I think Che Adams has been linked with a few Premier League clubs so that is unlikely. Pritchard is still with us but he has a lot to prove if he is not sold. KRO and kind regards (Gary)
We won't bring in 3 or 4 strikers at all, as with Juke, Roberts and Dixon who needs to be tried as is a great talent and time to start using our young players I can see only 1 or 2 coming in, as for CDM I'd rather Beilek play there knowing if needed can move to CB,
Thank you for your comment Glen. It's difficult to say really because it depends on how the club can and will use both Jukey and Dixon. Jukey I see as an impact sub as we have seen him used over the last few seasons and it is possible that Dixon may be sent out on loan to give him some regular first team experience. In my personal opinion I prefer Beilek at Centre Half. I think he is dominant in that position. I also think that is where we will see him next season with the club bringing in a creative central midfielder. KRO and kind regards (Gary)
@SmallHeathAllianceFC to be honest with Dixon I've watched him all kast season and to me sending hum out on loan would be a mistake as ok if we were still in the championship and fir him to go to league 1 side, but now is the right time to give this lad games in thus league for us, he is a good finisher and knows we're the goal is, we need to get him involved, as we won't be spend much at all, I can see 1 striker in on loan but no other
@@glenljohnson1 that may well be the case Glen. The club may decide to give Dixon some first team experience rather than send him out on loan. I suspect that Chris Davies will assess him and decide so expect to see him feature in pre season matches. KRO
Thanks for commenting :) Valid point. A weak team / defence will inevitably pile the pressure on the goalkeeper. I think we will see another defender coming through the door this year. Latest rumour is Helik from Huddersfield. I personally really like him… Very best, KRO! (Matt)
Thank you for your comment. You can't argue with that stat however I don't think we saw Ethan Laird anywhere near his best last season which was partly a result of a few injuries in the early part of the season and he was also being second pick to Cody Drameh for a parts of the season. He has an opportunity to show us what he is really made of next season and I hope he fulfils his potential. KRO and kind regards (Gary)

I hope we can keep hold of Paik and Miyoshi. I'm sure they'll be doing some heavy weights in the gym to bulk up a bit. Great podcast as always KRO

Thanks for commenting :)
Valid point. A weak team / defence will inevitably pile the pressure on the goalkeeper. I think we will see another defender coming through the door this year. Latest rumour is Helik from Huddersfield. I personally really like him…
Very best, KRO!

Bielik and Helik 😂😂 oh lord
@@EmuGamesMaster I think that would make a good central defensive partnership and a threat for us when we have corners. KRO
Ethan Laird played 20 times at RB for BLUES with 0 goals & 0 assists!
Thank you for your comment. You can't argue with that stat however I don't think we saw Ethan Laird anywhere near his best last season which was partly a result of a few injuries in the early part of the season and he was also being second pick to Cody Drameh for a parts of the season. He has an opportunity to show us what he is really made of next season and I hope he fulfils his potential. KRO and kind regards (Gary)
Nearly matched jukes effort up front 😂
I hope we can get rid of laird, he is useless
