I watched bits of their game at the weekend and they give up a lot of space in behind their full backs. It's the place to hurt them and he's the only one with pace we can get in behind. can you imagine had you posted that 2 games back?

SeparateEntityMyArse 54,093 Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 9 minutes ago, The Dude said: totally agree he knew what he was doing and tbh, everything about him is odd just now. New deal because old one was apparently up this summer - despite being announced as 2024 originally, Beale saying he'd have a big part to play then not giving him a sniff and then his presser. Get the feeling the club are trying to push him out the door since he *should* attract a decent fee. My gut feeling is that Beale got his transfer cash up front to get players in urgently, but that it's got to be almost net even with cash coming in and we're now selling players we know there's buyers for to get those fees in now. Not the ones we'd punt in an ideal world, but the ones we can get money for now. Kamara still being here won't be helping. The Dude 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference is you go out of your way to try and put a negative slant on absolutely everything he does, and oddly enough turn snidey as fuck in your replies, whenever anybody debates you and starts getting the better of you in that debate.

I do hope he’s right and I’m way off the mark but sadly I feel a scudding coming up. I will be there though back him and the team. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only one way it goes from there IMO (the way it has been going in for weeks, tbf). The guy wants to play and he’s frustrated. I’d be more disappointed if it looked like he didn’t give a fuck. Disagreeing with a decision but still respecting it seems completely fine to me. Roy Hobbs, Bluekev, Bad Robot and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STEPPS BOY 74,685 Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 Not surprised about Hagi being dropped and i can see why it happened.

bluenoz 31,078 Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 I understand why Matondo is getting a bit of praise, but his finishing is worse than Kent's and (correct me if I'm wrong), but I don't think he has scored for us yet. We need to take our chances tomorrow when they come and I would have more faith in Hagi to bury one than Matondo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Hagi is probably more media trained than most but yes don’t put out a guy who hasn’t featured much as you’re setting him up for a fall.
