StaffsRam Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Do we need another centre mid?? Defensive midfielder - definitely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilkleyram Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Do we need another centre mid?? We might do if: 1) hendo can't play the role 2) Eustace is only good for 70 mins or so nowadays 3) Eustace gets suspended for reaching 10 yellows 4) Thorne is just better and/or makes Eustace play better because of the competition.

Guest Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Do we need another centre mid?? I would say so. At the min with Hendrick injured your left with - Bryson, Hughes, Eustace (can he do 3 games in a week?), Bailey (hardly any football). Only takes a knock to e.g. Bryson/Hughes and we are light in that department. Cant see Bavies or Coutts coming in anytime soon either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronnieronalde Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 let's just focus on the cold hard stats... Eustace: Apps - 20(4) goals - 0 assists - 0 Yellow - 8 Red - 0 Shots per game - 0.3 Pass acc % - 78Aerial battles won per game - 2.6 Tackles per game - 1.9 interceptions - 1.5 fouls - 1.8 clearances - 1.7 dribbled past - 1 blocked shots 0.3 chances created - 0.3 avg passes - 37.2 Thorne: Apps - 8 goals - 0 assists - 1 yellow - 1 shots per game 0.5 pass acc - 80.2 aerial battles won - 2.5 Tackles - 3.3 interceptions - 1.9 fouls - 0.6 clearances - 2.4 dribbled past - 0.8 blocked shots - 0.4 chances created - 0.8 avg passes - 64.3 Conclusive? You'd certainly be happy to have that Thorne fella if you were top trumping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inter politics Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 In regards to those stats, I would say not conclusive due to Thorne's small sample size but there doesn't seem to be many better options out there that we can afford and we definitely need someone to share the workload with Eustace in that role.

Uptherams Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Based on the stats provided he would be a great addition. Our defense needs proper cover if we are going to play a DM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawson Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 When Eustace was brought in it was as a player to bring on the sure up the defence wasn't it? I think he would be good to bring on in the last few minutes...he has been wrong footed a couple of times recently and it's ended up in our net so I think this would be decent...young player and cheap wages what have we got to lose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boycie Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 He's used to being the middle of a 3 man midfield. He's once played along side twins. He was the Thorne between two Rose's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
