White Noise (Wimbledon away)

Can't believe we're looking for scapegoats after such a positive start.Watch out Conor you'll be next.

 

My only issue with that is that at 37 years old, after putting all that work in at Peterborough, McGoldrick looked a bit tired at Wimbledon. I don't think he would have missed that chance if he'd been feeling super sharp. I thought he deserved a well earned rest.

That's not a criticism of McGoldrick, it's the same criticism that has been levelled at the club for years. We employ a scattergun approach to recruitment and don't target the areas where we need players. We need an alternative to McGoldrick and we haven't got one, so he's got to play.

We've tried MDG and Earl for 18 months and they keep on making the same mistakes. We shipped out Shepherd on loan for the last 18 months because he wasn't good enough. He's still not good enough. But we've gone with these three for the upcoming season, not addressing the situation at all.

Meanwhile, we selected Connell, Phillips and Kelly as our midfield three. I'd argue Vickers and DKD are also midfielders. And on the bench we had Bland, Yoganathan, and Russell. I personally think if we'd selected Bland, Yoganathan and Russell we would have won the game. It's utterly nuts that the three midfielders on the bench are comparable with the three on the pitch when we only have one centre forward who is nearly 38. And this situation is the same as it has been for years. We've even frozen out another midfield player in Nwakali. We support a club that thinks it's OK to have one centre forward who is 37 years old and has a dozen midfielders who could be the best midfielders for three League 1 teams. I'm not surprised people are confused when giving their opinion of the game. It's mental.

 

Good job tha only watching from sofa then and spending any brass on supporting us then eh?

 

Hey, look, it's my gimp. Hello gimp.

 

Lol....hit a nerve sorry

 

What you talking about 'hit a nerve'? LOL.

Whenever I write anything on here, you talk about me, not what I write. LOL. It's like you're obsessed. LOL. I live rent free in your head. LOL.

 

Glad you think so

 

Oh don't get me wrong I'm surprised at just how much he has played. And we definitely need alternatives because running him into the ground by the end of August is no use at all. The challenge is that we've signed a unique player who we are righlly building our team around, but we can't back that up with another similar player as a consequence. The conundrum is can we play differently when needed when he needs resting. All of which is a moot point if we don't bring somebody else in to reest him. Because right now we are completely dependent on a 37 year old playing week in week out. And the window is ticking.

 

Do windows tick?
