Maybe he's the sort who is a good player in a good side. He certainly was under Val. I don't know whether he was better than Foster and/or Hassell could have been in a back 3 playing those tactics, I would have liked to see them both have that chance, but he was at least on a par. But Foster and Hassell played in hundreds of games when the chips were down, in a poor team against much better players, and they never lost their heads or their hearts, their performances remained solid and consistent and they dug us out of more holes than I care to remember. Helik and Andersen looked quality with Sollbauer marshalling the defence and an energetic team pressing from the front. But when Val and Sol and Mowatt had gone, when we needed our best players to step up, Morris and Collins did, but Helik and Andersen (and Styles and Woodrow) crumbled, and if you only have two players performing in most matches, you're relegated without so much as a whimper, and that's what happened.
Can’t agree with that. And I love Mads, he’s our best player by a mile in my view. Wow. No words. The lad can play a bit but by centre half standards, he can’t defend or - and this is key to my view - control his temper.
So Acido laughing at him and saying it serves him right wasn’t childish or petty? Ok… And explain how he’s ‘**** on his self’ - your words - he wouldn’t have got in the Poland squad had he stayed, so moving hasn’t ruined that - and he’s playing for a championship club earning higher wages than he would have done here - he probably got a rise anyway but he’d have had a relegation cut here if he’d have stayed. He had no desire to leave the area and wouldn’t have left the club if we hadn’t been as **** as we were last season. I don’t understand at all how you think he’s **** on himself. A different opinion as to how good a player he is, is irrelevant to that argument - he’s in a much better position than he’d have been had he stayed. If Huddersfield do go down he’d probably attract championship interest again, and even if not he’ll be no worse off at that point than he’d be now, had he stayed.
