you do realise you are allowed to say positive things though don’t you?
you do realise you are allowed to say positive things though don’t you?Eccles also has well known injury issues. This “you’re never allowed to say anything that’s not 100% positive all the time regardless of the truth” crap gets really dull.
Equally, making up a random stat to beat a player with is stupid and dull. If a player is playing every game, does it really matter if they play 90 minutes or not?Eccles also has well known injury issues.

Given we’re ten points clear of third, we don’t really ‘need’ much. We shouldn’t be spending money on players who wouldn’t cut it in the PL next season, and we shouldn’t be aching to disrupt what appears to be the strongest first XI in the division either. Given that the squad is likely about to undergo a major overhaul I would be prioritising short-term deals and loans if we just want depth, save the big money signings for the areas where we don’t have any backup at all.what positions do we need then

Eccles has had a couple of injuries last season and still managed 39 appearances, 44 in 23/24 and 34 in 22/23. He doesn’t have “well known issues”.
If you’re expecting every player to be like Grimes, you’ll be disappointed.
Allen can cover for Grimes? Really?
Allen played that role in January before Grimes was signed. Eccles has the ability to play there imo. That’s not the same as saying they’re as good as Grimes btw.Are you new to football ?
They are both good players but neither are CDM’s in the Grimes mould.
Correct. Then we brought in Grimes who is a player who’s missed a handful of games since we were in L2. That changes things significantly. In preseason I said Torp could be important for us because his underlying numbers last season were impressive. He’s surpassed everyone’s expectations and is one of the best performing midfielders in the league. When the facts change, opinions should follow.Not sure how I’ve made up a stat that’s available on the internet for you to verify. I literally said Torp has availability issues, as does Rudi as does Eccles hence us recently playing BTA and Allen in midfield. I swear sometimes on this site people just say shit. We’ve been talking about lack of depth in CM for months but today you’ve decided it’s all invented to annoy you. I’m done.
I’m not next am I?Clacton Sky Blue in fine form as per.
I agree. Midfield players cover over 12kms a game and the key element in the team staff decision is managing the volumes the players cover. We need players capable of playing 46 games at a high level.I also think Torp not playing a full 90 isn't necessarily all down to his stamina but also in part down to the fact that we have got able bodied players to come on and replace him. Whatever the reason anyway, we're winning games.
If we were interested in the summer I can’t see why we won’t be nowI bring it back to Sam Rak-Sakyi who we were supposedly interested in last January. Don’t know enough about him but could potentially look at someone like that on a permanent who won’t necessarily expect to play every game but in the long term may have what it takes at PL level. It’s difficult, though.

If you don’t think those two are viable backups to a player with an exemplary injury record, how much do you think we should spend on a better backup? And are we ok with them sitting on the bench this season and taking up a squad place next year?
He doesn’t know the meaning of the word positive, an angry little hateful manyou do realise you are allowed to say positive things though don’t you?
I’m not next am I?
wrong threadAnother test but we keep producing the results. Nothing to fear if we play to our best and another win puts us in an exceptionally strong position .
What a time to be a City fan .
So it iswrong thread
an angry little hateful man
Listening to one of the pods they were saying something similar about not needing back up for midfield or attacking mid and I was thinking we probably do we’re an experienced first teamer short in thereNot sure how I’ve made up a stat that’s available on the internet for you to verify.
