Redwhiteandblue 3,330 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Plymouth, Northampton, Oxford and Pompey would beat 10 of the 12 teams in the SPL with ease IMO. There's not really anything else to compare it with, but Spl side beat lower league English teams regularly every preseason. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluenoz 30,839 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 How come?The SPL is League 1/2 standard. Look at the amount of players from they leagues who come up here and shine. Storey for Inverness the latest, scored 2 goals in 18 apps for Newport County last year and has arguably been ICT's best player this season with 8 or so goals already.I was in Northampton last September and went to see them. Very ordinary to me. Based on that day at least, they would struggle in the spl. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smile 26,610 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Rubbish. Look at Barcelona, they play the same system and they've got world class defenders worth tens of millions of pounds and their defenders get the same criticisms. Alves one of the best right backs in the world, gets criticised for being too attacking and leaving his centre backs exposed. And Pique, Mascherano, Puyol, Mathieu etc in the times that they have played for Barcelona have had varying degrees of criticism for their defending, as has the defensive unit of Barcelona. The system they play leaves them exposed at times like this, but their manager feels the attacking threat this gives them is worth it. Personally, I'm really pleased with Kiernan and Tav. I'm unsure of Wilson at the moment, but he doesn't become a bad player overnight.Lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueThunder 8,454 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I would much rather have 38% possession and the win every day of the week...That may be so, but it wouldn't happen though. We wouldn't consistently win every match with that possession figure. St Johnstone wouldn't win every match against us with that figure. You might say you'd accept that on paper, but the second we lost a match the knives would be out. It'd be like Ally all over again. In a one off game, fine, but all season?Personally I'm happy with the way things are going. Modern football for the first time in ages.

Bad Robot 21,150 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Not sure how good they are but I'm hoping we get them for a small fee rather than waiting another six months. Once they wear the blue jersey we can then make our minds up based on performance but hopefully MW knows what he's doing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
