Garbage in, garbage out.
The Leicester team that won the Prem had a ‘data driven’ approach to building their team to be a great counter attacking team, they still had players like Drinkwater who can play.
If Hackney was our player, we’d all be saying he can make the step the up.
There’s definitely players we can sign from this league and Hackney would be one of those players if Boro don’t go up. As you say, it can’t be a wannabe Championship super team.
He’s a great dribbler with poor defensive stats. My assumption is that they want to take the player, coach him defensively and we potentially have a v good wide player on the books.
Made a good slide tackle v Derby which looked like a slight improvement from his cameo v Boro where he was...
As good as Onyeka has been, there’s been times where his technicality is a little bit inaccurate. Whilst the athleticism of the squad needs to improve, we’d struggle to score if we had. a team of Onyeka’s.
Agree, you still need to get the ball in goal scoring positions to win games.
If we had...
The latter thought is a beautiful one. Until your comment, I hadn’t thought about my grandad - he’d have been happy to see us up and he was the the single person responsible for getting me to support Cov.
Anyway, enough about the past, you get to share a wonderful thing any dad/mum gets to...
I definitely respect that. Personally, my optimism never wavered but frankly, that level of optimism can border delusion!
I hope you’re at the game tonight to enjoy the promotion party! 👌🏻
On a serious note, he does deserve his flowers because Hull were expected to go down this season and he’s had them in the playoffs pushing automatics all season.
Neil and Jakirović have been the best managers outside of Lampard this season. That’s without the revisionism of Boro’s bottle job.
He deserved the nomination at the time they would’ve compiled it but objectively, never deserved to win it. All the nominees are just imo and Lampard is a clear winner.
Even Eckert and Clement, both have done good jobs but still don’t deserve to be nominated. In 2021/22 when Cooper took Forest...
He’d be a great addition for a top championship team. Comparing Dovin and Rushworth’s number last season, there’s a few categories where it’s closer than you think.
Massive leap of faith that is!
Dovin in that Jan-Feb had several performances that would match Rushworth’s quality.
In the right environment, I’m confident he can develop into a good goalkeeper that’s capable of making the jump in the next couple of seasons. Providing he’s recovered properly.
