Very inconsistent. He’s hit and myth.
Yeah because that's the same as elite level football. We had a 20 stone centre half, maybe we should sign one of those as well
Probably why they never got beyond Sunday league then
hahaha, we had a 20 stone keeper, lovingly known as the flying pig.Yeah because that's the same as elite level football. We had a 20 stone centre half, maybe we should sign one of those as well
Exactly this, and when he won it back he didn’t overcomplicate it…just gave it to the players that could play.A Liam Kelly 2.0
always remember the job he did when he was called on for the last few games of 22/23, the ability to read the game, sense the danger, sit deep and calm things down when necessary.
This is the issue, in a 4-3-3 I think Allen’s energy would of done a job but he’s not and has never been a holding midfielder he doesn’t have the strength to do it. Would love to see us look at the Peterborough CM as a understudy for sheaf and stick with a 4-3-3 or move to a 4-4-2Sorry, and I know I’ll get the usual abuse for this, but Josh Eccles isn’t in the same category as Ben Sheaf and isn’t strong enough in that position on his own…
He showed that in his cameo on Saturday.
Would I have played him from the start instead of Allen? probably, yes….would it have made any difference? on the basis of his performance after he came on, probably not
We are desperately desperately missing at least one more strong holding midfielder, who can do the dirty work, break play up, pass the ball progressively and get us going up the pitch - a Sheaf and / or a Hamer type.
Allen cannot start another game as a holding midfielder, and Eccles needs somebody else alongside him, he’s not good enough on his own
... he’s not good enough on his ooooowwwwn!!!!he’s not good enough on his own
Stephen warnock just said on sky sports news that Bobby Clarke is off to RB Leipzig this week!..
What exactly is the plus side of Allen?Physicality isn't everything, but at the same time, you don't want players who can get knocked off the ball too easily, or get outmuscled time and time again.
For all the pluses, it's the downside of Jamie Allen.
His kit is cheaper for the club as he fits into kids sizes??What exactly is the plus side of Allen?
He’s gone to RB SalzburgFootball gone crazy... He's gone to RB Leipzig for 10m plus add ons ffs
Like Jarni, never kicked a ball for Leipzig before he was off againHe’s gone to RB Salzburg
In our two competitive games so far we have been alarmingly open in the centre of the pitch which puts pressure on the back line. Whether it is the absence of Sheaf, Eccles, looking below par, our new tactics or the wrong personal we really need to tighten up. We played a Stoke side with no recognised strikers and Bristol with their second choice players and they both had way too many chances. Good strikers would have buried us.We don’t need an ‘enforcer’ we just need a little extra competition so that we don’t ever had to play Jamie Allen as a sitting midfielder again.
Eccles and Sheaf are both brilliant ballwinners, among the best in the division.
Eccles made 2 tackles in 30 minutes. Allen and Torp made 0 between them in a combined 150 minutes.
So we had a chance then!!....Football gone crazy... He's gone to RB Salzburg for 10m plus add ons ffs

I played Sunday league for just over 20 years. We always had one and most teams we fought against for titles had one.
Bit like Man City who've sold 500 million worth of players including a lot of academy players over the last 3 season .Liverpool are masters of selling youth players for stupid money.
Jordan Ibe 15 million anyone?
Brewster went to Sheffield U for a reported £23.5m four years ago. He's scored 4 times for them.Liverpool are masters of selling youth players for stupid money.

Shef Utd certainly got mugged there. .Brewster went to Sheffield U for a reported £23.5m four years ago. He's scored 4 times for them.
