Maybe perspective and how you view things is different when you're face is as stretched by multiple face-lifts as Amanda Staveley's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buying Wood doesn't scream "We're here to invest heavily", does it? And yes, she's horrific. Looks like Aslan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonzo Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Seriously though. Are there any tough tackling, energetic players out there still? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could bring in some no nonsense types, but they wouldn't fit it with the Evatt way. We know he loves the way Pep plays, but all city's players work their bollocks off to get the ball back ASAP. That includes their front players; they don't have to be there world's best tackler, just willing to get into their opponents' faces. Very few of ours seem to want to compete toe to toe. Worries me a bit that prospective signings can see what we see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps a small price to pay to ensure Burnley join Norwich as a certainty to be relegated. Just need to purchase a couple of Watford players and bingo, send them down as well.

masi 51 Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Other clubs supporters rave about Dempsey at this level and in Morley we now have someone who can deliver a set ball Jones now back and Evatt in the market for a keeper..........Lets look at the team Feb 1st onwards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We shouldn't be dismissing games before then and have to show for more in them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You invite trouble, its up to you to deal with it. City can mix it as well as anyone. Hes asking the wrong players to do the wrong thing. Only new recruits can change it, because he isnt going to.

It's bloody hard for blokes who perhaps aren't technically proficient enough to play the Evatt way. Maybe they were for league Two when we got them in, and maybe the new ones are for this league. I do believe that the players we have could do a job in this league, but that may require a change of approach from the manager, which doesn't seem likely.

But the mere fact that Dempsey is Gillinghams captain suggests he has some leadership qualities - which is something badly missing in our side at the minute.

We need better than him. Get someone in now if possible and look to get shut in the summer. Perhaps we have his replacement already here in Amaechi, if so try get a loan signing in to cover.

Dr. Feelgood Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Kachunga's injury is a shame as he had turned a corner whether the "I don't mess around, me" gang can see that, or not. As for 'get rid', the guy has a contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
