TBF maybe the first two times I'm going downhill quickly. But after that... f~ it...
Still, I like the expression and sorry Winny - I may well steal it!

Why do we want a midfield enforcer. You can’t tackle in the game. The closest you get now will be someone who “breaks up play”. If ever plaudits were given out for basic tasks it’s for this.
Its for the dinosaurs on here . We need another body for when Sheaf and Eccles are out
Very inconsistent. He’s hit and myth.
We need someone who cab start attacks from deep which Eccles can’t do and Sheaf does rarely.
Yeah, I wouldn't bother with him. Doesn't really fit the age profile and has a tendancy to lose the ball in the final third.

That remains to be seen now we have a new coaching set up I think, won't know guy yet!
It is, because who in their right mind has heard of "cab start attacks?"
That's definitely nonsense alright.
, can I call it balderdash now 
It's when Robins wakes up suddenly in the middle of a dream about taxis.
Doesn't seem to be able to progress the ball at all. Sideways Sisyphus
Sisyphus's punishment was chosen to match his hubris. He was convinced that he could beat the gods at their game (he already did twice before!). I'm betting each time he came so close he sprinted back down the hill convinced that this one would be the one!
I played Sunday league for just over 20 years. We always had one and most teams we fought against for titles had one.
The enforcer does not have to be dirty - I would put Gus in that category - can be a nasty little bastard but who can also play
of course Dennis wise was another - We are too nice a team, and Jamie Allen isnt going to scare my nan (and shes dead) - people will love playing against him - We need to be a team who people dont like playing against, and then we can play our football

This is basically what I’m saying. The game has evolved for sure but we are missing this. We’re far too nice.
Very difficult to scare someone who's dead, to be fair.
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
The idea of an enforcer has evolved materially from the days I played.
Who is the Man City enforcer ? Rodri ? No he’s a CDM who reads the game, intercepts, shields the defence.
Leicester went up with Winks as their CDM. He couldn’t tackle to save his life.
Sheaf plays this role for us. Our issue is we don’t have one when Sheaf is absent.

Spot on !
Eccles can play the role as well but isn't at the level Sheaf is yet .
We need to sign a ball playing 6 to compete with or deputise for Sheaf .
Nope, this is all just down to a poster who just can't spell syphilis

We play in the Championship. It's a more physical league than the Premiership.
It's pretty obvious we get bullied by physical teams (even with Sheaf playing) and have even played better against some Premiership teams who are less aggressive and more open.
But this also relates to us playing games without tempo and pretty flat, apparently unmotivated.

All we need is an influx of world class performers in all eleven positions. And then another all the same as “back ups”. No one else is after them and money is no object for us so it shouldn’t be an issue.
Or don't spend most of your limited money on one area (forwards) and neglect another (midfield) that's been crying out for action for a few years.
Has it? Sheaf plays v Stoke and it’s likely no one mentions the midfield. We sold Gyokeres and bought in Wright and Simms. Thomas-Asante for Godden. People were crying out for depth behind Sakamoto last year and we’ve signed Mason-Clark. If the biggest criticism some have us that we’ve signed too many forward thinking players I’ll take that.
A few years?? We sold Hamer pretty much a year ago and before that had one of the best midfield threes in the league.
