I disagree. I think he is playing Hawkins because on what he has seen so far he trusts him more (not saying he doesn't rate Lynch by the way). I also think he has gone for Hawkins for experience.
In terms of making sure his signings are in the team I think it is because of their quality rather...
Out of interest why do you think MA has not made a Fair judgement so far?
Lynch and Hawkins (as well as Virgo, Elphick and El Abd) had the whole of pre-season to make an impression. The solid defence we have had so far certainly does not prove MA wrong.
It was always going to be difficult...
Agreed.
To be honest all 3 are very good players. It was always going to be difficult to keep all 3 happy.
Hawkins is apparently a major doubt for Orient so I expect Joel will get a chance to show Adams what he can do.
Trouble is ifthe club do not announce all of the small steps being taken other people will accuse them of keeping fans in the dark.
Damned if they don't, damned if they do.
Fully agree. I don't think it was malicious I just think Revell was overly pumped up for the game. just very, very late and 2 footed. A clear red card and was very suprised he was not sent off.
Would like to see the actual sending off again. I'll be honest when I saw the red card come out I...
With regard to Hammond it was good that he was prepared to take 50% less than Colchester were offering but still does not change the fact that if that was more than we could afford then we were right not to pay it. Colchester have far more money to throw around than we do. I would have loved...
So not a PAY CUT at all then.
He was offered a contract which would have made him the 2nd highest paid player in Albion history (after Zamora) and turned it down because Colchester could offer much more.
It is not exactly a revelation that Colchester have lots more money than us. Why do you...
Hammond was prepared to take a 50% pay cut????
What a load of f***ing bollocks!!! What kind of a twat would accept a 50% pay cut when he is the captain of the team and clearly an important player. He wanted a big pay rise and the board would not cave to his demands.
Oh and if you are so...
