To be fair, I'm pretty sure Kieran Crowley outed him as one of TM's targets for the summer.
I just think this squad has been so poorly assembled with no thought given to it. Literally just cast-offs. I'm not usually one to be so negative but it's driving me mad.
It's a mish mash though. We don't have a fucking RB/RWB. We have signed a winger and then played a formation without wingers. We've got 4 CBs (including Harries) to cover 3 spots until January.
Massive mistake letting Phillips go. Wouldn't have been on much by way of a wage, much more suited to RWB than the RB role he was in last season, and harshly treated at every turn by Mowbray.
And before you ask, yes I was sticking up for him prior to the summer. He should have been kept even as...
Allsop - RCC
Willis - Willis
Webster - Ricketts
Johnson - Turnbull
Clarke - DKE
Pugh - Page
Thomas - McCann
Fleck - Stevenson
O'Brien - Gadzhev
McQuoid - Reid
Tudgay - Agyei
That's the starting lineup vs Bradford first day of 2014/15 against the starting lineup vs Bradford last weekend.
Worth doing and then selling on Viagogo prior to the match. If it's a fairly small-time game, sell them as soon as the game is announced as more people will be looking to buy before they go on sale via the FAs. If it's a big one (think England v Wales at the Euros) hold out til about 2 weeks...
If you're serious about wanting some clubs, I've got my old starter set that's just gathering dust in the garage. Got a driver, 3 wood, 21 degree hybrid, 5, 6, 7, 9 iron, sand wedge and putter. You can have them for free.
It was actually in a game against us but Yannick Bolasie when he played for Plymouth. Just oozes class and they were in the process of going bust. A few weeks later, Bristol City bought him for £100k and now he's a £30m player.
I agree that goals are a team responsibility, but one of the major things we've lacked in both home games is a striker that stretches the play and creates space for the likes of Jones and Ruben to work in. Everything's been too stifled, too deep. Looking at videos of this new fella, he makes...
Had a couple of winners last weekend, namely Norwich to beat Blackburn (single) and Man Utd/Sheff Wed double.
This weekend, Liverpool/Bayern double won me a fair bit.
That's really good going. I've been playing properly for a year, now off 21 but horribly prone to a shank. I'm a member at Nuneaton, which is usually a great course but it's got very dry at the moment and is looking a little scruffy. Played this morning and snap-hooking everything. Was painful.
Think it could work to be honest. Not so much coaching is required in terms of improving players at international level, that's the clubs' job. Could get their attack firing, and certainly a good calibre of player. Probably see if Alcaraz has Belgian heritage though.
Could have been so much more if he didn't insist on dropping deep when he's playing up top on his own. Maybe hunger was the wrong word but at all too frequent times he's not in areas where he can offer the biggest goal threat.
Can't say it definitely won't happen, but considering he only joined Blackburn in January and is contracted til 2018 I can't imagine it coming to fruition.
