Is something that we are severely lacking. I would be looking to bring one in in January but as a stop gap I'd put Hassell there as he has played there before and done well, he can tackle and is as good on the ball as the toilers. Perkins, Fox, Dawson, Etuhu - no goals, no assists, no tackles, no point.
For gods sake stop being deluded about bobby, yes he's been a great servant for us but you must be potty if you think he's better than any of those four in that position
Bring RNL home, and McNulty and Dagnall. Then return Ramage, Fox and Tudgay. Save some good money right there. Then play 3-5-2 with Hassell sweeper behind Cranie and M'Voto (or McNulty). RNL and Wisey as wing backs. Digby and Mellis central two, with Paddy allowed to roam ahead. COG and Peds up top. Simple as that. And I've been saying it for the entire season. I should be our manager. I wouldn't pick Kennedy again for a start so the fans would instantly back me. Piss easy.
Wouldn't mind Bobby playing there short term as is better than available options. Need to ship MCNulty, Dagnall, Dawson and the other toilers out permanently get. RNL back and in the team to see whether he can cut it or not.
Admittedly going only by highlights and Player, Tudgay seems decent to me. He got 2 assists in his first match. Yeah, his fitness isn't great, but that will come.
So you'd swap 2 proven Championship players in Tudgay and Ramage for 2 players who have only ever looked comfortable in league 1? Fantastic manager you'd make.
OMG hes still going on about this dinosaurs. Noooooooo Why would anyone in the right mind want to send Ramage back. Hes a good defender. Perkins did a lot of good things yesterday, hes not there to get assists. He must get frustrated at times with the guys in front of him because they lose their men everytime. Fox goes back and at the moment i can't see him coming back in Janaury Butland's important for Barnsley. He's said he could come back but only at the end of the month maybe. That leaves us 5 week minimum without him. Not good. He's just a top draw player. Tudgay, i would love it if we could get him permanently in January. Sell Scotland and Dagnall and get Marcus.
Perkins has got a lot of folk fooled. He had at least three chances to shoot yesterday but shat him self and went square. Too slow and too soft
Not having that, they weren't right or the player was that close it would just hit him. Perkins as had anyone fooled, hes a really good player. Theres a few issues from yesterday put Perkins wasn't one of them.
Didnt Perkins fail miserably for their goal and their disallowed goal too? I thought Hugo Colace had resigned for us
It was offside, Supertyke and this is the problem with short highlights. You cant see thats happened before that.
I can't comment on yesterday's performances, but for me, the season so far, Perkins has been absolutely woeful. Not deserving of a starting shirt.
Birmingham was Tudgay's first game back. But yes, he got two assists at Brighton. And, I happen to like him. But he offers little more than Dagnall, Scotland or Pedersen for me. It was the last panic induced throw of the dice by Flitcroft, and another wage we really needn't be paying.
