TommyPowell Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 10 hours ago, Dethorn said: I think it is worrying, we are no doubt a better team with TH in it. In fact TH with Mount and Wilson is imo the best we have looked. But we could be without all of them next season. The worry is, is how hard can it be to replace Tom ? My thoughts would be that on past form Thorne would be made for it but we all know what has happened to him, I see BJ as more attacking but he does have the bite (no pun intended) but not the coolness in possession, Ledley seemed to defend positionally well but little else. Bryson is a completely different kettle of Fish and I have yet to see what Evans is all about really. Not seem King yet. I still desperately have my fingers crossed that Thorne can storm back to former glories but he is hardly getting in the Luton side at the moment. If we go up we will need £30m spent on the midfield and that scares me so why cant thorn get into Lutons team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they play different positions but he's the same ages a Keogh. We just assume he can't play 2 games in 3/4 days but he's a professional athlete. Being slow doesn't necessarily mean unfit. Even if fitness/age is an issue i'd rather start him then bring him off when he's tired. His passing range is so important to dictating the flow and getting a foothold in the game, whereas in the last few minutes we might be better off with a more aggressive ball winner to see it out. 5 hours ago, RamsFan10 said: People talk about him like he's 40, he's 32.

Mo Farah and Usain Bolt are both athletes but different events .different physical attributes dictate different events one attribute is stamina.so completely unfair to compare unless its like for like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we are done here. I'm not presuming anything he ducking said it. Plus he signed McGovern for Derby, Leeds and Forest and tried to sign him for Brighton. You jumped to the conclusion I thought you're not smart when I said smart people take statistics seriously and intimated that Cloughie looked at what a player did for a team rather than how he stood out individually. I never said you weren't smart. However, if that's the bar you set of being smart then maybe I should have 'I think we're done here' is the last refrain from somebody who cannot defend their position.

If you respond to a post is it unreasonable to expect your comments to relate to that post? Or perhaps you didn't read it. Where do I mention expectation of the autos? We are actually struggling to stay in the top six, despite having what some call an 'easy run' of fixtures. My complaint is selecting two midfield players who haven't played before or played recently. Wake up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said we are done because it became pretty obvious that you were not interested in any other point but your own. I’m not even sure you ever read what I originally put. That’s still appears to be the case because you are trying to make it appear I’ve said something I haven’t. I come here to debate, I at least try to have a balanced view of things and to be respectful to others. Also I try not to post unless I feel I’m sdfimg something to a thread after reading through it. I think it’s worth engaging with posters who give you the same back. Apologies Bob, but I just have no interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have been the right thing in terms of the clubs priorities. Realistically we have a chance of promotion via the play offs, where as we have no chance of winning the FA cup. We're still in the cup so i'd say that's a chance. Slim maybe, but still a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure he's played more home games than away, though - which could explain much of the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wake up. i was illustrating maybe why Lampard had put them in so sort of priority and why he selected the middlefield he started with .
