We also need to be signing players for the first team none of these ones that go into the reserves and then get released in a couple of years.
Scott Twine currently benchwarming at Burnley and could have been picked up for 6 figures last summer. That Rudoni gone to Huddersfield this summer for a similar fee.

It really wouldn’t take much.

I’m 99% convinced it is a knee injury.

Was more of a jolt than overstretching.

Given our record over the years, you can put your mortgage on it being an ACL.

Rushed back too soon, as we had no other options.

Based on what? He first got injured back in August, how much more time did he need?
Based on:
1) he came back quite quick
2) didn't have much time gaining match practice
3) and has now been injured again.

Both are too slow, too lightweight, and fail to really impose themselves. Palmer is better than O'hare imo, but neither are good enough.

Palmer is better than O'Hare, but not good enough for us?

Have to say, that you can see Palmer creating chances on a regular basis. Obviously he is not an O'Hare in terms of engine, but I like what I've seen of him. Want O'Hare back asap. but Sheaf, Hamer, Palmer and Allen is ok for us (particularly at home to the lesser lights)

Must be great being Fabio Tavares - you only have to run for five minutes a week and as long as you do a couple of stepovers and don’t literally shit yourself on the pitch you’ll still have people singing your praises and hailing you as the answer every week.


Harsh, Mark Robin's just doesn't rate him.

1) He took almost three months to come back
2) He’s played 11 times since coming back so was presumably as match fit as could be
3) Considering his playing style he’s been pretty lucky with injuries in his time with us up to now

Not been at the form he was before his injury consistently though-feels like he's been getting by on adrenaline. I'm more having a go at when he came back, but we had little other option so oh well.

Hmm, whilst I'm onboard with the general point, you're suggesting we spend money on either a reserve, or a player who's led their team to the bottom of the table.

As examples, they ain't great!

And Waghorn of course if on the pitch, which odds are he won't be. But it's one thing he can do very well.

One team’s Clarke Harris is another team’s Gyo. Instead of Twine we pursued Bright…

We pursued Bright because we couldn't afford anyone else, Twine included. And you usually get what you pay for.
That, tbf, is his point.

I would like to know why Twine's (currently) flopped at Burnley though. Luck with injuries (I think) in which case he gets a bit of a pass, but as examples of lifting a team, neither are ideal just atm.

Now personally, if they're not ready made, there's just as much an argument for letting Burroughs grow into various roles, and give Howley a game or two as he develops.

Hell, even Tavares ;)

To be fair to you at least Tavares hasn’t made you write something like ‘he only scored by swinging his weak foot at it’ as someone else did with their boo boy of choice.

*consults last year’s PNE thread*

Cant believe you’re still beating this drum. What’s your theory? Allen can do that all the time and just could only be bothered once in four years?
