Ben10 2,293 Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 I fear we may not get the results we want in December and panic buy. I hope the squad stand up and dont capitulate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grundy 735 Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Don't think they're will be any panic buying, pretty sure any targets will have been identified some time ago and it'll be down to availability and wages. Solanke and Davis are the obvious names to come to mind, but I suspect it will only be one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nullifying what he is good at Agreed, and he does, which leaves space behind him - which is a problem that often results in conceding. I have no doubt that our loss to hivs in the Cup final was their strategy to target our weak point, down our righthand side. If the idea, in an open game is to score more goals than we concede then Tav is ideal, but when we're playing against 11 defenders and we're conceding on the counter, then Tav is always going to be a problem. A defender is exactly that in football - take a defender out of that position, continuously, then you're going to have a problem - unless you've got Roberto Carlos, where he can get back quick enough.

Smile 26,610 Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 I thought the burd asking the questions of Middleton was a bit of a cow she could see as a young guy he was nervous and she took advantage of that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A cup final that was 2 and a half years ago, hes not perfect by any stretch of the imagination but take him out for flanagan and our already slim creativity declines even more.

He's not a midfielder. He's not even a defensive fullback hardly. Attacking fullback is what he does and does it well in games where he can get forward.

Hadron Collider 31,018 Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Ok I’ve an idea, let’s just drop Tav and see how we cope. See how many goals we get. FFS yes he is not the best defender but he makes up for it with the goals and assists. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
