Would walk into our team at this moment in time.

Very underated by a few people.

Maybe we can offer him some Red Diesel to tempt him back?

im sorry but i thought he was absolutly dreadful. but he was a nice guy and gave me one of my most memorable away days when we played hartlepool and he scored that brilliant solo goal. would like a player with his personality in the squad.

Lots of assist, created space for the other forward. Could play down the right if needed and changed a few games coming off the bench in that position.

The fact he is a regular in a team in the top half of the table is a clue to his ability.

More a clue as to his unpredictability. Same goes with for Alex Revell. Fair freaked out none-too-bright lower league defenders who predictably flapped when faced with the gruesome twosome running around in all sort of directions :lol:

Mark my words, one day we will look back on the Golden Age Of The Headless Chicken and wonder why we ever replaced them with the current set of bland overrated non-match-winners.

Im not saying he was that good but could easily be doing a job for us.
 


Right now we can hold the ball forward of the halfway line for ...oooh..... 5 seconds?
The tactics require that our midfielders get RID of the ball like it's a hot spud, to a forward player who's in no position to reliably collect said ball and get past anyone. So, they DUMP the ball into a 50/50 situation somewhere level with or behind the opposing box, and the forward has to cross it to that ONE player who 'might' be somewhere around the area. The percentages of chance he might actually usefully get on the end of it, are drastically reduced to around a 15% chance.

Simply looking at the odds - the times when we are attacking past the halfway line, the chance of an actually threatening shot getting to a goalkeeper is extremely low. That's in a match where we might get about 12 forays forward, in the whole 90minutes. So, I calculate it's a very small chance that we'll threaten to score.

Forster will be seen to throw his hands out in frustration, or do a little clap for a ball passed, several times. But we won't score goals.

Bas Savage increased our chances of scoring, and not getting scored against tenfold - just by managing to hang onto the ball like it had some value to do so.

Did I see on SSN yesterday Revell is out for the season with a broken leg?

He'd start up-front for us Saturday if he were a Brighton player. So would Revell for that matter.

So would Joel Lynch.

Our team is really very poor at the moment.. all these players we've let go are better than the ones we have replaced them with. (The most blinding example being Hammond, a Championship midfielder, replaced by Thomson, who was poor for us. Thomson gone, replaced by...............nobody.)

Poor player though he was, Thomson was brought in to work ALONGSIDE Hammond, not to replace him.
