Who'd you get shut of in January?

Huddersfield Red, Supertyke, Donny Tyke and send Conan out on loan to a Premiership side .

 

The Reev :biggrin:

 

I think he has been loaned out already ! 2 week loan I think

 

I think he's got to be involved with us if fit. We're crying out for a player of his ilk.

 

Sorry, but I like my right winger on the right wing and my left winger on the left wing. I like my wingers to beat the full backs and I like them to stay wide to create width when we have the ball. I realise that the modern trend is to do otherwise, but I am old skool. Soz

 

I agree with all that

I can't agree wi thee on Cranie

 

So do I, if pushed. But I'm not averse to mixing it up. Hammill, Devaney and Vaz Te were all right peggers on the left to good effect at times. As was Jennings last season for a few weeks.

I reckon the lad Wiliams could play old skool right wing, but then we'd miss his energy/quality int middle.

 

If fit. There in lays my only reservation.

 

A fit and on form Jennings could be key.

I don't know why anyone would want to get shut of our only winger who takes a man on and likes a pop at goal.

He's 21 int he? Can't chalk **** on him yet, surely?

 

There is no doubt that if you like your centre backs to be blood and thunder then Ramage is your man. Personally, I think blood and thunder is overrated. I much prefer my defenders to read the game and have the pace to cover and stay on their feet as they beat their man to the ball. But hey, we all look for different things in our footballers and it would not do for us all to be the same. When Cranie arrived this board consulted and decided almost to a man that he was a Rolls Royce. He was good enough to hold down a place as a defensive midfield player or a defender. Two years on, and familiarity has bred contempt, so now I stand alone. As the French say, Que Sera.

 

I've never rated him. He's an easy loser IMHO.

 

Surely they won't extend Dudgeon's loan? His knees have gone. He was clearly struggling in the last 20 minutes on Sunday and injured in the warm up last Tuesday. Apparently only has light training during the week. Send him back...

 

I don't want to get shut, I still think he's got ability and could be a good player. If we could loan him out for a month and he came back the same player who came back from MK Dons I'd be very happy.

 

If Danny is set upon returning to the diamond when Williams is fit, I would like to see Williams and Hourihane swapped over as an experiment. It is the old Butterfield formula. If your attacking midfielder scores goals but does not rate hard work off the ball, give him more of what he is good at and less of what does not like.

Sorry to return to my Butterfield theory once again. I know you don't like it from previous conversations and if there was another example I'd use it.

 

If we scrapped the diamond all together things would improve. Bailey would a look a far better player with some help closer to him instead of Berry and waste of space Hourihane drifting out wide. Hourihane bottles all the 50-50s and provides no help to his full back...

 

So it's ok to okay players to cover for Baileys inadequacies but not cover Hourianes?

 

I have no problem with you discussing a former player. I can see why there's a comparison there with Hourihane.

But we're talking about a lad who until this season was a holding midfielder at Plymouth. So I reckon he can and does graft. But I feel he's playing to instruction, as he ought to be, as they all should. And perhaps like Jacob, Conor is being told by the manager to focus on hurting the opposition, not stopping them?

Jacob's always been capable of graft. He did it here, when necessary. Under Powell at Huddersfield, he's playing deeper and is what I suppose you'd deem a box-to-box midfielder now. It's his defensive quality, constant harassing of his opposition midfielders that I buzz off the most now. His talent going forwards is a given. Love that he's improving all facets of his game. Having two feet gives him so many options when creating/shooting, but helps him in a tackle too. Still can't head for toffee though, and his dress sense is still iffy.

 

Another well informed rounded argument. You should apply for am analyst role

See the above, and you try explaining to me where Tyrone is coming from and where I'm potentially going wrong. Because I'm bloody finding it hard here to even begin to understand the point he's making.

 

Don't bother trying
