Johnnyrotten Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 When players leave us I generally have an opinion on whether they'll be any good elsewhere. Madine as expected is struggling to get a game at Championship level, not on bench for Cardiff today although I wouldnt know if he's injured. Vela scored apparently, so did Donaldson. Just seen Joe Williams 2 yellow cards in 1st 20 minutes for Wigan, what a poor player at that level, he wont last long in their midfield. Had the cheek to look surprised after 2 dangerous late challenges we are all too familiar with. For all our struggles I really dont miss seeing the laboured efforts of Madine, Pratley, Williams, Taylor etc. Its refreshing to see some actual talent on the pitch even if they are getting out muscled and bullied.

Joe Williams is far from a poor player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Casino Posted August 18, 2019 Moderators Share Posted August 18, 2019 I think edwards is the stand out One or two others could get a move up the league but not much beyond that But they're mostly babies, so who knows with another couple of years growing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Passing very average and rash tackling. Total inability to shoot considering he's a forward thinking midfielder. And you cant afford to have a guaranteed zero goals from 1 of your central midfielders especially when so many teams play with 1 striker.

Cullen is a tidy player, came to us at a bad time like so many others. This time last year McGennis was looking like a Championship striker and we thought Murphy might be a player, so its difficult to judge how these players will do longer term at that level.

Yeah, at Preston I was convinced Williams was the championship's Stevie G, Olkowski was the new Gretar Steinson, and Wildshcut was a total waste of space. 1 out of 3 aint bad. If anyone spots Yanic playing this season let us know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair play to him, Billy Sharpe, absolutely making the most of their talent. Basham could possibly have a shout for the longest period between Prem starts, his last was for us about 10 years ago (unless he played there for Blackpool?)

The issue is how those in charge managed to negotiate negligible fees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a great shout, forgot about Joey. Seems a really wierd coincidence that Basham and JOB are both play midfield or right back, and never seem to make one position their own wherever they go. Very similar standard players, could have ended up in Div 2 or Prem depending on the fortunes of the clubs they happened to be with at the time, not unlike Nicky Hunt.
