Tbf though, Starmer has more footballing ability but Allen runs about more.

I would vote Jamie Allen for PM, I wouldn’t play Starmer at AM. Hope that clears things up

You'd willingly vote for a war criminal
It says something that I’m not sure if this is a joke about the thread or a serious opinion about a Labour leader.
(we’d better stop now or the football only purists will moan)

Even more worrying, some of the hermits that patrol the off topic chat might actually end up on a football thread!
As there seems to be constant calls for taxis for certain individuals surely the German national anthem?Didn’t you agree we all need to bouncing around singing even if it is Jamie ‘The Little Hitler’ Allen on the ball?
Was it though?So was mine
that has to be the world's shittest spreadsheet, it's that bad it's almost a work of art.
Without his contributions we are a minimum 7 points worse offHe certainly gives his all, but he just doesn't have the quality to truly influence games. For me, only in because of poor Callum's injury. Does worry me that he gets the arm band too.

It's dumb if it's jamie allen , great if it's sheaf or vik etc .This is a very dumb way to look at football. It’s as bad as “we get x PPG when he plays”. Like Viks goals, we wouldn’t just be playing with ten men. Who is to say we wouldn’t have won more with a different player in?
I actually think allen has been off form recently .. I just think your viewpoint in general is incredibly harsh

You've given the lad nothing
Ive never made that argument about Sheaf or Hamer, cos it’s a dumb argument. I’ve said as much about Vik, who I rate highly. You’re just scrabbling around at this point.
Allen runs a lot. I’ve never denied that. I just think he doesn’t contribute enough on the ball and is actively detrimental to our attacking play. And at DM he’s completely pointless.
Do you honestly think if o hare was fit and playing and Palmer was given the Allen role he could do the same coverage?
Not sure which bit of “Allen runs a lot. I’ve never denied that” is causing you trouble. Let me know and I’ll see if I can help you out.
I'm not really scrabbling , I'm actually yet to hear anything that even makes sense from you in the debate .. it's simply " he does nothing with the ball " and that's it .Ive never made that argument about Sheaf or Hamer, cos it’s a dumb argument.

I bet you have no issue with this stat for example?
This stat will be OK though right ?
I’ll have my 50p that he hardly plays next season and moves on come January 24.As an assessment of Allen:
I think he often takes the safe pass. So while I could see him having a good completion percentage I don't agree he tries to get us moving forward. I think he holds up attacks and allows opposition to get back in position. Like Stephen Hughes used to.
His shooting should be a bit better, but he has scored a few more goals this year so he's getting in the position more and I'd say he's improved in this respect. He's missed some very good chances though. But so has Vik and that's supposed to be his main job.
In terms of jockeying players to slow down opposition attacks allowing us to get back, that may well have truth in it, but there must be a point where we're in position and he has to try and challenge for the ball? While you don't want a player to dive in they can't just endlessly shadow a player without at some point trying to win the ball either, and I feel that largely what he does.
Of course his stamina and running are without question. He's like the sacrificial lamb to let others do their thing.
In terms of being given the captain's armband, I don't think he should have. I'm sure he's a model professional that leads by example, but you need a captain to actually be talking, motivating and managing players through games, as well as probably getting at the ref. I don't think Allen does that at all.
In summary, you'd prefer it if he wasn't starting but would be more than happy for him to be in the squad. But as it stands with our squad and the injuries (his workrate is important without O'Hare) he's playing a more prominent role than he probably should at this level.
Funny, because he's never happier than when he's torturing people by pulling their teeth out without anaesthetic, can't stop laughing awayOn a side note he appears a right miserable so and so. Never appears to be enjoying his job?

Enjoys entertaining his team mates after training pulling wings off flies.Funny, because he's never happier than when he's torturing people by pulling their teeth out without anaesthetic, can't stop laughing away
I’m saying he looks a right miserable sod.So what you're saying is, he needs to smile more?
Should hear what he says about you after his sixth pint. It's beyond c**t.I’m saying he looks a right miserable sod.
Bless him.Should hear what he says about you after his sixth pint. It's beyond c**t.
