Reply | Shea Charles On The Radar Of 3 Top Flight Clubs
at 10:22 2 Jan 2025
He's at probably better than what we have.
Downes is disappointing, too erratic.
Aribo is not good enough to play midfield in Premier lge.
Big Les (whatever his name is) doesn't want to be here & he's not impressed anyhow.
Smallbone injured but not good enough.
Lallana is more creative but not so good defensively & he's always injured.
Shea Charles having played regularly for Sheffield is at least if not a better option than any of them |

I'm not convinced that they'll be too many Premier Clubs interested in KWP in this transfer window.
There's been talk of him going in every transfer window for the last few years, but he's still here.
As good as he is going forward everyone knows that he is very poor defensively.
The priority for any defender is to be able to defend properly.
It's more likely he'll go on a free in summer transfer window.
Despite his inadequacies defending he's been one of our best player since he's been here & he's too good for Championship football. |

Not sure Ivan Juric will be with us in Championship next season.
There is a break clause in his contract at the end of this season which allows him or the Club to invoke.
I don't think the club would keep him when we go down, typical of SR they would look for a cheaper version. |

Far too early to start criticising Ivan Juric.
He can only work with the squad of players he's got.
But I do like the fact that he's giving everyone a chance with no favourites.
ABK back in contention Tall Paul getting games & more to the point no sign of Slack Jack, not been involved since finishing his suspension.
But the bottom line us there is not a manager on the planet that can get the required results with the limitations of the squad. |

I think we got more minutes playing out of Ali Dia.
So we're are now responsible for the two most ridiculous signings in the history of the football lge.
As we have the unenviable record of
two 9-0 drubbing in 12 months. |

Not sure we'll ever have a team capable if surviving in the Premier while SR own the club.
Their principles & logic just don't fit with Professional football clubs.
Their style of owning multiple clubs & utilising players between clubs is more suited to owning a chain of pubs & restaurants.
Also their insistence on spending millions on quantity rather than quality is a recipe for failure. |

Thread | Worst points total & goals scored.
at 08:40 30 Dec 2024
We currently have lowest number of points scored & the lowest number of goals scored in all of the 4 Football leagues.
This has now got very, very embarrassing.
It can't get any worse. |

I agree, KWP technically good on the ball & a threat going forward but an absolute liability defending.(that's why he's still here with us, other clubs have sussed out his weaknesses)
I'm very surprised that we've never tried playing him in midfield or even on the wing.
We wouldn't have to worry about his defending then. |

Tall Paul might not of scored but he made a huge difference to the way we played.
We actually looked dangerous going forward, we looked like scoring goals.
He was a handful for the West Ham defence.
Who else have we got that can have that impact on a game, no one.
Give him a run of games & he'll score goals which is more than Adam Armstrong is likely to do.
I'd like to see Cameron Archer playing alongside Tall Paul, that would be our best set up. |

At least we were getting balls into their box & creating chances with Tall Paul up front.
That's more than we have been doing in previous games. |

Ivan Juric has done what RM was afraid to do, he's given Tall Paul a start today.
At least it shows the new coach has some bottle & gives TALL Paul a chance to convince us that he can do a job. |

ABK is a monster, but a wasted talent.
Perhaps his attitude does let him down but he like many others he just wouldn't suck up to RM hence was never considered.
Charlie Taylor is another that should be playing but never got on with RM.
Same applies to Tall Paul.
I'd really like it if Ivan at least gives them a chance, I think all 3 of them would improve our team. |

Just watched Ivan's first Press Conference & yes he does speak good English which helps us to at least understand him.
Despite being asked a few daft questions I think he handled it very well & my first impression is that he'll improve us, that is all we ask.

We need more than a ctr forward.
Even Haaland wouldn't score with no service.
We need more creativity from midfield.
Downes continues to disappoint me this season & Aribo just not good enough.
Adam Lallana would give us the quality & creativity but he can't last 90 mins.
We'll probably get Shea Charles back in January he's yet to prove himself on Premier Lge.
I know that sounds negative but that is the reality of the situation.
But while there's life there's hope. |

Ramsdale hitting long clearances instead of suicidal 5yd passes in our own box is a massive e boost to our chances of not conceding silly goals & possibly picking up a few points.
But I couldn't understand why Ramsdale was kicking everything long down the left wing, virtually all of them went straight out of play. What a waste.
If we going to play longer balls out from the back ( & I hope we do) then Tall Paul must start up front, we need a target man & he's the best we've got. |
