Some players don't click at some clubs in some systems or styles of play. But Shotton must've done ok at Brum to be on Boro radar. Yeah. Funny old game.

Ninos Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 If Blackman got a run at centre forward he'd be just fine. He's been played out of position and then just been on a rotten finishing streak where he had literally missed everything. At derby no one gets to stay in the side and therefore no one gets any momentum. Shotton would have rotted here, like Grant and Hendrick and look at them now. We are too big to give good players time to settle or to get the quality youth a real chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edinburgh ram Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 I just hope we send him out on loan to somewhere like burton and puts a shift in, proves the doubters wrong and maybe gets a chance here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowett admits he'd snatch the hands off anyone fool enough to take on some of Blackman's wages. FTFY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selfish t**t Looking forward to Tom Lawrence being the worst winger since Cywka by this time next year Hey, Dave Martin worked really hard for that title.

We are too big to give good players time to settle or to get the quality youth a real chance. Probably partly due to the fact that if we wernt 3-0 up and playing people off the pitch the players would be met with a chorus of boos at the final whistle creating a pressure for the manager to "change it up" as a club the fans have to take some responsibility, weve splashed a lot of money in recent years and many a fan seems to think this is champ manager and so it just all falls into place instantly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shotton couldn't handle Darius facking Henderson. I don't think Shotton is anywhere near our worst ever defender mind but I was pleased with the apparent fee we got for him, he was/is an absolute bomb scare on the ball which couldn't have been further from what we needed in a team where possession was key.
