Some flavour of the month, then completely out of the picture. Anya, Wisdom, Baird, Johnson, Forsyth, Olson. Martin, Russell, Bryson. In my opinion it doesnt create a team spirit if you are uncertain about your place in the team and 1 bad game means you are out of the squad.

ramsbottom Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Makes sense what GR is saying, he's played more games than was expected of his this season, give him a rest, and hopefully a full pre season will see him back to almost his best. Lets face it, an 80% George Thorne is better than 90% of Championship midfielders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smyth_18 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 We all need to get behind him. So many people have been getting on his back and it's not fair in the slightest. The poor bloke has had some serious injuries, you don't suddenly become a bad player. Should we get him back to full fitness (patience still needed) he is one of few premier league quality players in our squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see him hitting those 13/14 heights again but that last bit is what I fear most when it comes to GT. Glad we've extended his contract.

robglosta Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Still only 25, well worth some loyalty on our part to see if we can ignite his quality just as he's hitting his 26-28 prime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad we've extended his contract. Sadly I can't, not right now, but I don't think thats all down to him. If you remember what he did and had to do back then, was sit in front of the back 4 and break play up and he did it really well, then he would have hughes, bryson or hendrick buzzing around him and looking to get forward. We dont have that anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadioactiveWaste Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Needs to adapt to how Rowett needs him to play is one issue, fitness and sharpness are the second. I won't write him off at all, but sensibly reduce my expectations of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't write him off at all, but sensibly reduce my expectations of him. I’m not sure he can though unless we play on the counter and even then there is room for one of him and Huddlestone. The only way a two man midfield can work is with two intelligent players who act as pistons and can do the whole lot (Kayal and Stephens) or with a energetic tackler and an creative sitter (Kante and Drinkwater). He only really suits the latter role and has no foil. I’m also not convinced you can play the ball through a midfield two unless it’s on the break so you’re not going to be seeing him play those amazing balls through the lines. If you think back to Clough’s last full season we got the ball forward through either Brayford and Coutts linking up down the right or Wardy beating a man down the left. The midfield would then back up play. If George were in that team he’d have few if any of his trademark passes on, he’d effectively be a wall for the wide-men to play the ball off. I just can’t think of any way in which we can fit him in without signing a Kante type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
