" That bloody Richards..." etc etc cry the thick cnuts.</p> He was released by Northampton, Ritchie and Holden are developing his game, he's getting better all the time. May not be the finished article and may not score 20 this season, but ffs it's time to lay off him and appreciate the progress he's made since he got here. </p> Worked his soul case out on Saturday and scored the winner. Still not enough for some. Hey ho.</p>
RE: " That bloody Richards..." Well said. Works so hard every game and his goalscoring record is pretty good anyway. I feel like he is learning with every game.
Richards is garbage i'd much rather us be paying chopra £5,000 per week. Hayes is also a water of space too. only 4 goals each, what kind of crap return is that. Wheres dave regis when we need him???
RE: " That bloody Richards..." Two blokes sat behind us on Saturday in the Ponty..... Conversation went something like this 1st Bloke - "Get that bloody Richard's off, he's done bugger all in the game" 2nd Bloke - "Too right, he's stood still giving us no movement" 1st Bloke - "Move for the bloody ball you useless git" 2nd Bloke - "More chance of Tommy Wright doing something" Later in the game Both Blokes - Bloody hell there bringing Wright on now, what the hell is he going to do!!!??? Some people, hey!
RE: " That bloody Richards..." I know towards the last 5 minutes when he was shagged, some folk in the west stand stood up and were screaming at him to put some effort in. Bloody idiots, i wonder if they open their eyes at the matches. He got a standing ovation from me and a bloody well played thrown in too
RE: Midfielder Agreed. He rang his socks off but was frequently caught out of position. Good move to bring back Hecks as well. I've been critical of him this year but he was excellent on Sat.
RE: I have a dislike to heckingbottom, it always seems he's running in concrete boots Like I said, I'm not his biggest fan. I suspect Robbie would have been destroyed by their right winger though. Burnley were attacking our left hand side in waves on Tuesday night. Hecks kept it pretty tight and his distribution was good.
