Wolfie20 Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 11 hours ago, Will Hughes Hair said: I can sort of see the logic behind the thinking though. With such an array of future stars in the u23 and in particular the u18 teams, you could make the argument that loaning in other youngsters blocks development of our own. Just imagine this time next year if we can look back and celebrate Bogle as the vanguard of half a dozen youngsters who had established themselves and made an impact on the league. Not a chance that half a dozen will be established in the first team squad by this time next year - possibly 2, 3 at most. Young players need seasoned, quality professionals alongside to learn from and be protected throughout their development. Fans thinking that 4 or 5 will be playing regularly next campaign are in for a disappointment. The only club that comes to mind who have successfully integrated 5 or 6 young players into the starting eleven at the same time was Man Utd (Beckham, Giggs, Scholes etc) - unlikely to happen again. But we can dream! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the time, I can remember being proper fed up with his ability to implement a Plan B - and the Newcastle speculation had become a sore point for a lot of us. Looking back though, I think those injuries in the second half of the season were the real downfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smyth_18 Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Mine has always been that Bryson's historic hat-trick is a bit tainted due to the penalty being won by a dive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, the fact that it was Bamford that did it against his boyhood club just makes it all the better. Wonder if he regrets it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marriot Ram99 Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Mine is that Forsyth is vastly overrated by many due to him being at the club for so long and always putting a shift in, but really he is a lower midtable standard fullback , Malone has left a lot to be desired defensively as well. So hopefully it is a breakthrough season for Lowe or we get a new left back who can defend and attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marriot Ram99 Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Another is Jozefoon seems a better winger than Lawrence, and Lawrence should only ever play as a 10 becuase he can't cross and is too predictable in wide areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the effects would have been mitigated if we had appointed a Lampard type straight after Mac, both V1 and V2. It was the changes from Mac to Clement to Pearson, back to Mac and then to Rowett that killed us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he lacks confidence (partly down to the fact that he’s recovering from an injury), he’s below average. I thought he was terrible last season. You could tell that he was scared every time he got the ball, partially because the fans were really getting on his back. But when he’s fit and full of confidence, he’s very, very good. He was fantastic this season until he got injured. We’ve definitely missed his aerial presence since he got injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This but stewards should be able to eject/refuse entry for anyone who’s already p1ssed up. Drink socially to enjoy the game. At a footy game not a night club.

Lawrence is a £6m player, FloJo is a £2.5m player. To get a player who isn’t inconsistent in that position we’d probably need to spent £12-15m which isn’t right.

Everyone knows it’s you still and you have posted several photos of yourself on here but to be fair I like your new name and picture. It has inspired me to change my photo for a favourite beer of mine and in anticipation of FL leaving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
