Dimmu Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Now I see Clough's masterplan. Get him in and loan to F****t to get some first team experience... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asanovic Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Took Higginbotham months to settle in. Then he was arguably our 2nd best ever defender in the Premiership. Not interested how the player perform in friendlies, they were rubbish in a couple last season and we did ok in the league. To me it's a fitness exercise, chance for people to see the new kit, bit of a run out. Lee Croft played well in the friendles last year and then hardly ever played for us, so I don't think, unless something dramatic happens, too much importance is attached to them. I'd imagine Cluffy already has likely starting 11 against Sheff Wed in his head. Effectively this is one of Galinski's first games with the first team. I wouldn't expect any player, senior or otherwise to have a blinder in their first game, a friendly when things are being constantly chopped and changed. I'll look at our record of bringing through young players, which has been excellent whilst NC has been in charge. We'll be rait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jg96ram Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I liked it when he knocked Adebola flat on his face. For that reason he should get a contract. When did he play against adebola? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BorneoRam Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 McGrath as well, higgs was bad at the beginning as he was played at LB, was much better inside. One question, is this Swiss lad left sided? Reason I ask is that Keogh is not and that is my concern with the replacement, shack ell gave us a good balance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reason I ask is that Keogh is not and that is my concern with the replacement, shack ell gave us a good balance Buxton's left footed though, and it's probably going to be Bucko and Keogh as the first choice centre halves this season. When (or even if) Barker comes back, we can worry about it then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When (or even if) Barker comes back, we can worry about it then. Why do people obsess about this left footed right footed partnership at the back? When did this suddenly become a major concern?
