Farnywhite Posted February 1 Posted February 1 (edited) Not expecting to much from ruben and hardie this season ( if hardie goes through and permanent) More long term Ruben in middle of a pre season in another continent hardie carrying a injury but both look good signings going forward an upgrade Edited February 1 by Farnywhite Quote

He's just a long list of players that are considered 1st teamers but have had long spells of not starting, sometimes without having played badly to get dropped/overlooked: Gale, Cissoko, Forino, Simons, Taylor, Forss, TSL, Randall, Morley, EE, McAtee, JDC, Forrester. That's 14 players who all came here to start games and all overlooked currently or previously. Quote

As far as if he is good enough for the Champ if we do meet our goal of getting there...well let's get there first haha. Quote

If it's 4 at the back, then it's back to only 2 midfielders. If, as most seem to think it should be, one of those is Sheehan, then we may be a touch weak defensively. Quote

Tombwfc Posted February 1 Posted February 1 Hardie isn't doing anything for a few more weeks, as per Parky in that article. And as someone who'd ideally like to shift him, I doubt he's exaggerating. All these things that look like selection problems have a habit of sorting themselves out. Quote

We do not have two games a week anymore so its not a big concern Quote

Stevenage might be moved. Quote

Stevenage might be moved. Yes not quite the mad house of January. We will get stronger as we reach the back end/play offs all our signings will be fit bar injuries and we will also have ACD and forss back refreshed Quote
