potentially the best midfield we've had?

[saafend_seagull]

for many years, if all live up to potential

Jarrett Carpenter Nicolas Reid

with Currie / rodger/ oatway challenging too.

 

[Blackadder]

Depends how far you want to go back.

I think Nobby Horton's midfield of late 70s / early 80s will take some beating!

 

[Trigger]

Reid Carpenter Nicolas Jarrett

That's a midfield that quite excites me (not in that way i might add)

 

[Turkey]

We haven't seen enough of them to claim it's the best we've ever had!

Reid hardly set the world on fire last season!

 

[Bobby's Gull]

I doubt it, still think there is a possibility that our midfield will struggle.

thats why i said potentially!

 

[Gotsmanov]

Ok, Reid isn't a winger, as proved last season, when he cut inside every time he got the ball. However, when played in central midfield next to Chippy, he looked VERY comfortable and composed, and it gave us balance.

 

[kirsty952002]

I think personly reid is a central midfield player!!!

 

[Safeway]

Nothing like getting carried away, is there?!

Hinshelwood on Five Live after Burnely, anyone?

 

[Stumpy Tim]

Is this a joke thread?

Reid was pony on the wing, looked decent in the middle. No one has seen Jarrett or Nicholas play against Div 2 opponents, let alone Div 1!

Let's wait & see shall we

 

[BensGrandad]

Why do people keep listing Jarrett as if he is going to play on the right when he is very left footed.

 

[saafend_seagull]

well it depends which way u look at it, but im sure most are aware he is left footed

 

[gullmachine88]

given me a boost of confidence........ with a stronger midfield we're be alright

Sorry, your anti-Oatway fevered imagination is playing tricks on you. Reid didn't play central midfield alongside Chippy but replaced him in the final. Reid swapped with OGH on the right flank in the last weeks of the season.

This thread is a laugh - classic NSC. It was doom and disaster a few weeks ago when we were trialling Kerekes and Molango and now we have the best midfield ever, the likes of Horton, O'Sullivan, Case and Grealish in the dustbin of history I assume.

FFS!

Stop getting carried away by Nicolas! He has done nothing amazing in the pre-seasons and needs to prove himself, don't be blinded by the Chelsea crap.

Reid is also nowhere near the form that got him a contract.

I hope these players come through but let's see them hit a bit of form first before we make them legends.

 

[perseus]

Is Reid right-footed or left-footed?

 

[saafend_seagull]

well he played right mid last season for us- so im guessing right

 

[GNF on Tour]

any midfield with Johnny Crumplin rocked..........badly.

 

[Northstander]

we have to remember that this league isn't just about skill (although it does help!)

The players HAVE to up their fitness, get em running early morning along the beach on the shingles and stones, they will have legs like tree trunks and it will improve their stamina!!

cant agree more

 

[lincs seagull]

its a better line up in midfield than we had two days ago espically now lee wont make it on the pitch
