I'm sure he does. Im not worried tbh - i know AP will bring in the right players, as he stated yesterday that our weaknesses were lack of power...pace....experience and strength in key positions. You don't get that with a couple of kids from Stockport - but there's no problem adding them to the squad to give us some depth.
-
I noticed that...and he was also getting pretty irritated by the ball boys on more than one occasion when they were too slow, or at one point...throwing 2 balls back into play ffs! They actually trained the ball boys at reading to react quickly - and boy did reading make use of that. Hope we can do the same here
-
He played well up untill about 60-70mins, he lost confidence after that short pass - which kind of sums him up at the mo. Possibly down to a bit of mental fatigue if anything, you've got to remember he's still only an 18 year old! You can see why premiership clubs are after him and IMO he could become the player that everything flows through in this team - he just needs someone next to him who knows this league, and is decent (n/o wotton)
-
Possibly. I think the selection today was forced, with Mills out and Holmes not 100%
-
TBH, i wouldn't want you lot to go out of business. I'd love us to both be in the premiership again one day - those games were great (ok, not the one at fratton)
-
TBF he'd just produced a cracking double save and it was a very good header from their player - just saw it on a replay, it did go high into the top corner...and if Davis had managed to get a hand to it, it really would have been a wonder save.
-
The problem with Adam is that he doesn't really have a 'position'. Playing him on the flanks forces our game narrow straight away - he's not the sort of player who's going to get to the byline and cross it, he'll want to come in and run at defenders. (thus often not having the strength to get through and falling over, or running into a crowd) He needs to be given a position and then learn the trade - I'd say an attacking forward, just behind the strikers - floating in between the midfield and the front players. He has got a ability to pickup pockets of space...and a pass. He has immense ability - he just needs to find his solid position on the pitch and once he does he will excel.
-
Maybe both. Surprise at who we've managed to sign, and excitement at watching him in action...
-
The asking price for him is between £1m -£1.5m apparently, which isn't ''too expensive'' - esp if it's someone who gets you out of this league! Said from day one we needed to go for him, he took the **** out of us when we played Bristol Rovers in the FA Cup a couple of seasons ago. - as well as scoring the bloody winner.
-
Blimey Worrying times for them. This is so pinnacle-esque it's untrue. Wonder if they have a ML type waiting in the background if this fails?
-
Maybe that's why it's not such a good plan to sign near on 10 new players within a few weeks!
-
Oh well - good effort by exeter. and even worse for Norwich 1-7 now. WTF?
-
2 strikers IMO. You saw when we lost Pato today - we had no one else to play, we resorted to playing Jake up there! Madness.
-
Another positive...at least we're not Norwich.
-
6-1 lol Leeds 1 - 1 Exeter too ...what a great story that is. (if it stays like that)
-
It Wasn't danny - it was his brother, Anthony.
-
He did play well, dominated in the hair up until about 70mins, he did tire as was expected. I wouldn't say he was MOTM...he was good, but not as good as Harding who was my MOTM. - Murty close 2nd.
-
Someone mentioned earlier saying they had heard we are in for Jay Simpson at arsenal? They also said on Sky sports earlier ''Sky sports understand that a host of clubs are battling it out for Jay Simpson from arsenal'' I know people say he played in the prem last year...but i didn't think he played that well up there and im not sure anyone else would take a gamble on him in that level ATM. But i expect there's alot of interest from the championship too. Who knows...? That would certainly be a signing to excite (can only see it being a loan though)
-
Oh dear - on another note, Stern has been stretchered off for Palace with a broken arm.
-
mmm interesting.... More F5'ing this week. I'm going to get sacked ffs!
-
It's because gunn is a crap manager. Surprised they kept him on - they've let him spend a fair bit of money, which is utter madness considering that they're lacking finances atm.
-
He actually won some headers!
-
Injured, pulled his hamstring y/d
-
Completely agree. Severely lacked any strength up front (although Pato tried his hardest) also midfield was good on the ball...but when the going got tough, it kind of evaporated. I'm sure pard's is aware, he's constantly said we need stronger/experienced heads out there - i'm sure we'll get them!
