All the things listed as Perkins's strong points. Well, Jim O'Brien out-Perkinsed him in every one of those departments and weighed in with an assist to boot. Well played Jim lad. Credit to Danny as well. It had never crossed my mind to try O'Brien in that position yet it seems so obvious with hindsight.
Never been any doubt about JOB's work rate. It's the end product and consistency that's let him down. Maybe today was just one of his 'good games', who knows. I'm just pleased he did have one. Will be interesting to see how things stack up, once Bobby, Digby and Lawrence come into the frame. Especially if Shea's loan gets extended.
Give over. Danny's had them in spades since he got here. "sup Danny?" "Selection headaches." "Can't narrow it down to an 11?" "Nope. I don't want to select any of this *****."
I would suggest that Mellis's place is more under threat than JOB..when Lawrence gets up to speed....
we've seen job have great games before. then follow it up with 3 shockers. if he can perform like that week in week out, he'll be tough to replace listening to danny's post-match, another glowing reference for TK. he obviously likes the lad, can't see nyatanga replacing him any time soon. jennings is like a new signing, and there's bobby and lawrence to get up to speed. digby, rnl and rose on the fringe, fryatt possibly coming in. if we can tie that deal up, and get season-deals for shea and mclaughlin, things are looking up all of a sudden guwon danny!
aye my only slight grumble was he doesnt quite have that vision to pick a quick pass. But apart from that did a great job.
