He lacks discipline - he can't hold his position at all and all wide players have to cover ground as well.

He has no real pace or any awareness. He has never been first choice in any position with 4 managers here other than Pressley and that cost him big time.

I'm sure of make managers thought he'd be a forward player they'd have tried it.

He lacks stamina as well - struggles to track back.

So what would you say are his bad points?

I am really puzzled as to why we're 8pts adrift what with all these Championship / Premier league quality players we apparently have...:bored:

Most clubs don't look at the team status, tactics or shape around a player they are after, they look at the individual they are buying. Stevenson, Haynes, Harries and Willis all have attributes that other teams can use, all are young and can improve with the correct coaching. I don't think any mentioned are certain to perform at the level above but all maybe gone tomorrow, so discussing the abilities of certain ones has no real point. If the right money comes in they will be gone and as always we will be left scrambling around to fill the gaps.

Square pegs in round holes. The squad often lacks balance and as soon as anyone really hits form they are sold.

Thank goodness they're all played in wrong positions then, so we can keep hold of these gems...

Players are bought and sold i don't think that is the problem with us we all except its part of the bigger picture. What is worrying though is when the club is selling to cover a short fall in income or for funding the business, sooner or later the luck runs out or the assets get lower in value. We as a club do not sell to build, we sell to survive and at the minute we are running towards a very dangerous place in our history. Tim will have to come out again and comment on all that is happening and reassure fans the club is still worth investing in as a going concern. For me Tim is a suit and can be described as a character is a book as follows.

The President is very much a figurehead - he wields no real power whatsoever. He is apparently chosen by the government, but the qualities he is required to display are not those of leadership but those of finely judged outrage. For this reason the President is always a controversial choice, always an infuriating but fascinating character. His job is not to wield power but to draw attention away from it."

I like Haynes, would be a shame to lose him.

The defence recruitment being complete just got undone if we lose him as well as Willis.

As for Haynes, is obviously decent with a ball at his feet, yes he has made a few errors at the back, but that's where we are at, we are playing a bunch of youngsters who are all doing their learning in our 1st team, same as Ben Turner did, Nathan Cameron another, Willis, Grandison, Clarke etc the list goes on... Im not saying they are world beaters but all have gone on to have decent football careers, usually at the same level which our club is currently in.

Absolutely right. I'm sure all could play in the Championship at some point, provided they had the right coaching, team around them etc. Like you said, they all have certain attributes that mark them out as being above our level as individuals. It's incredibly difficult to play well individually in a side that's regularly underperforming.

I'm not sure that Premiership or Championship players are what you need for success in Div 3 or 4

Don't see why you have to speak for the captain but what has that statement even got to do with his statement.

I say positive things about several CCFC players so again a nonsensical remark.

My question was to captain dart and for some reason you seem to want to answer questions on his behalf. In sure he is capable of speaking for himself.

So you never ask stupid questions of me when I quote someone else?

Nobody wants to play one rule for Grendel another rule for everyone else with you.

We don't. Teams higher up the pyramid only want to buy our worst players. Obvious unit

That's what Real Madrid will be saying in 5 or 6 years time, when Haynes is signed as Bale's replacement

Yep? That's like selling your gold wedding ring for £20 and then trying to sell a Coke can ring top for £50.
