I think our midfield looks strong now. Doyle can make the space and Vincenti can do something with it.

Good signing at this level. Means Doyle can have a rest every now and then

So Doyle is a right winger - lol

Every day is a school day isn't it for you Grendel.
I suggest on this school day you do your homework.
He is a utility player who can play a variety of positions including as a defensive holding midfielder. So as I said before if Doyle ever needs s break this guy will give him it.

He's hardly ever played a holding role - as for doing my homework - remind me - how many clubs go into the play offs in this league?

There's plenty of them.
there's a player so many were really excited about, yet has proved to be a total failure. Therefore let's at least give Bakayoko a chance rather than write him off based on some Walsall fans' comments.

Yes. Just saying that we brought one player in and our fans were going all ga ga over him and now we have fans totally dismissing him.
The point I'm trying to make, is just because a player was crap elsewhere, or great elsewhere, doesn't mean they are going to be either crap or great here.

Oh, when I saw the thread I was hoping to hear he'd been given a big new contract.

So why don't we bring Trevor Benjamin out of retirement then? Just because he was crap everywhere, doesn't mean he'd be crap here.

Benjamin got 20 in 44 for Cambridge at this level and earned himself a move to the Premier League. Just saying.

Exactly what I'm saying. Just because a player is not popular or regardly highly with fans elswhere, doesn't mean he won't do well at a new club.
Sometimes players just find the perfect fit for them.
Let's just give the bloke a bloody chance. Some people are having a meltdown and yet haven't even seen him play.

Sign me up then. The works teams fans (the office cat) hate me, think I'm bloody awful.
Therefore I'm bound to knock in 30 goals a season for us.
Otis
Well-Known Member
Yeah, that's exactly how it works and exactly what I said word for word.
Just because a player is deemed crap elswhere doesn't necessarily mean he will be crap elswhere. Try that if you wish to try and quote me.
I have no problem with those who are apprehensive or a bit underwhelmed. I DO have a problem though with those who are saying he IS crap based solely on rival fans' comments and without ever seeing him play.

Our own manager has done nothing managing other clubs. Sacked by Scunthorpe, left Huddersfield by mutual consent after a bad run of results, and left Barnsley under a cloud.
Two trips to Wembley and a promotion with us.

Players are as crap as how the team is set up and if they play to their strengths? McNulty may struggle because of the way Reading play although he will score goals where he can make them out of nothing passes. If we can get the lad running the Channels and the ball onto his chest at times he will do a good job of Holding the ball up and taking the pressure off the middle of the Park. Andreu's passing ability might suit the lad to a Tee, lets look at him so that we can make a judgement using our own views of him from playing

My other half is randomly good friends with his family and he was carrying an injury for much of last season and was undergoing an op in the summer....he may yet come back as the player we thought he was going to be.
These situations concern me because either the player is pretending to be fit or the club know he was unfit and still played him. Same with Callum Ball whom we had from Derby - he had a toe injury during the period he was with us, so we got short changed there if the player wasn't being open!!!

It’s amazing how putting a spin on something can give it a different perspective,
For example, you could argue that it was Mobray who actually got us to Wembley the first time while it was Robins who got us relegated.
You could also argue that limping into the playoffs when we should of got automatic promotion is nothing to jump up and down about.
And we also needed the worst referee I’ve seen in years to make sure we got to the playoff final.
You could also ask yourself what kind of manager sells his best striker, and then fails to adequately replace him before the season starts?
I’m not knocking Robins, just pointing out the alternative point of view.

if you are calling him a failure - we have had many managers in the past few years who should have got autos or the play offs and failed
MR record puts him I think in 1st and 3rd (maybe 2nd and 3rd) in our all time win record for managers
You can only play against what is in front of you - but for now - he is doing ok

Doing ok is about right in my book.
As I said, I was just pointing out the alternative point of view.
Nowedays facts aren’t important, it’s how you spin those facts that matters.

I know his brother really well - Callum lost interest in footy and had lots going on in his life...but he's took time out and got his head together and think he can earn a living at it....just not at the level of L1 or maybe not even L2

But it's not spin is it? I was quoting facts. Maybe I should have given MR credit for winning twice at Wembley rather than just getting there. If anyone was blaming MR for our relegation I would say they are on a wind-up, considering it was Mowbray's signings and Slade's input or lack of, that did the damage. (Not suggesting you are saying that).
Whether people like MR or not they can't argue with the facts, only how much luck was involved.
If we had a 20 goal striker this season that everyone thought was useless, but the goals went in luckily off various parts of his body, would many people object?
