If he can tackle, mark and pass, he’d make an excellent CM shithouser like Dennis Wise was. lol

I agree, however the title of the thread is misleading. He’d benefit with a strike partner, and it may be worth him and Haji teaming up when the latter is back. Simms, imo, isn’t the answer.

I was watching us versus Newcastle on YouTube, at HR 1984/1985, and the commentator remarked that Chris Waddle was a schoolboy for us but was ultimately released for ‘not being good enough’. Is this accurate?

That was in the cup, 94/95. We were fortunate to get through, as it was 1-0 to them for ages, then Dion scored a looping header, and Nuddy ran from the halfway line and smashed it in the far corner. Was a heck of a goal.

I’ll maintain that he’s a fantastic player, a modern CDM with a range of passing and great vision, mobility and aggression. He’ll stagnate over there in Greece if he’s not getting enough time on the pitch. Maybe he was the wrong character for us, as he seems to have been dazzled by the money...

Maybe it’s the Millwall air; an infusion of aggro.

He’s a big, big miss for us and hopefully he’s a quick healer. Need him back ASAP.

No great loss, in all honesty. Just didn’t progress with us, or contribute much in the way of consistent performances and goals/assists. As a sub to (hopefully) change things up, is really all that he has to offer. Even then, it was minimal. Undoubtedly a talented guy, however I think he...

Sounds like this is the day they score 4 or 5, and their CB’s play like prime Nesta and Costacurta. 👍🏻

I think the OP enjoys phishing. Here, phishy phishy…

We’re three or four quality players away from a decent team. Maybe 5. Astute signings, like MR did with Kelly, Godden, Fadz, Allen, COH, Gus and Vik. Maybe, with a vein of experience and a dash of an on-field general, we will be gracing that elusive top 6. Until then, we are right in it, if...

Agree 100%. Maybe MR thought he could grow into the role, or something.

Steady on chaps, this is how certain folk go Phishing.

He’s not beyond criticism, I agree, and he has to shoulder some of the blame of not pulling out the stops to replace experienced players with experienced players. He has to take the blame for appointing a captain who isn’t a captain, and for not trying to smooth things over with Viveash. The...

Absolutely, what could possibly go wrong!? 😂

Have to say, it was a lovely cross by EMC. Anyone like Simms and Haji, you’d think they would bury it, and Norman probably should have.

Are either of Lampards coaches known for their tactical ability? Someone on YouTube was saying that Lampard is a bit tactically naive and it was Jody Morris who was the more tactically minded.

He isn’t captain material, it’s just patently obvious to anyone with eyes. It’s a shame, though, and I feel the expectation is weighing on Sheaf. He’s not a leader, however the conundrum is; who will replace him? The only realistic option is Bidwell.

Undoubtedly, however there just appeared to be a lack of alternative options or urgency to get the most crucial players in. The only experienced guys we looked at were Browne and Worral (?), and I’m still not quite sure how nobody else was identified? Doug has to allow Lampard to bring in...

If there was a vein of experience through this team, we would be ok. It’s very simple. Look at the way Sir Alex integrated his class of 92 into his first team, and ensured they had quality players around them, like Cantona, Pallister, Irwin, Schmeichel etc. Throwing a gaggle of youngsters...
