Boo Boy odds by davman 13 Jul 2017 20:52
Go on, now that Karlos Henry and Benny G have left us, who is going to be this season's boo boy (s)?

Ned - nice guy, not a leadah, too quiet. The best basic defender at the club, but pretty poor at passing when the midfield run away or we go long. Not captain material.
That summarises what most say. I like Ned and cannot fault his effort or commitment through the years he's been with us. Thankfully, not selected at right back any more. 4/1

Lynchy - roll im, roll im, roll im. Easy to do apparently. Too easily over committed and a little bit nasty to poor Jakey wakey instead of concentrating on his own game. Not great going forward, but unlike Ned, who seems to know his limitations, thinks he's a bit of a play-ah.
Nowhere near as bad as some make him out to be - over 300 very steady games for Huddersfield. Maybe the fact that the midfield we have that everyone seems to think is good enough is far too open leaving a defence overrun? It's harder to look good when they just keep coming back at you...
2/1 joint fave

Jakey boy - steady, but unspectacular. Alright at defending, alright going forward, but shockingly poor when it comes to flinging crosses in. Went to pieces against the Buzzy Bees and generally Piss poor for the last eight to ten games. However, we're told that is because nasty big Mr. Lynch shouted at him a few times. Poor lad; who''d have thought a player playing badly in a bad team would get criticised?
As with Lynch, I suspect that a lot of Bidwell's problems stem from the fact that he had little or no protection in front of him the whole season. I am not sure he'll be first choice next season, at least for the 1 1/2 games Jack Robinson will last. 3/1

The other Conor - always out of position either wide left or as a lone centre forward. Only given short runs with a strike partner before being chopped and changed. Not fair on poor Mr. W is it? Play him up top with someone and he'll bang them in. Well we did, and he didn't, did he?
I sense that this is a BIG season for CW. He either kicks on with us to a lower level Prem team, or he is destined to be a lower league player like Billy Sharp or Adam LaFondre. He doesn't appear to be an instinctive finisher to me, which means that he needs to work harder than others to score. I think he gets an easy ride from Rangers fans compared to the next candidate... 5/1

Sylla - the only player universally referred to by his surname around the club, which is odd. The first, second and third touches of a Devon White or Dominic Iorfa; Bambi's balance and the awareness of Mr. Magoo.
But... GOALS! Fling crosses in and he gets on the end of them. Extraordinary chest control in tight spaces (usually followed by falling over) and entertainment value not seen since Seb Polter left us. I love him, me, the best striker we have, but odds of 3/1...

(edit) how could I forget Perch? A proven Championship player before he came here, but proven in midfield and sometimes centre back. Not really a right back, as demonstrated week in week out. Appears to be ok at left back and, I'll say it quietly, excellent in the position Ollie created for Grant Hall midseason. Yet...He appears to want to be a bad boy or angles for time off by launching into brainless lunge after brainless lunge. Another full back good in the middle third, but with no ability to pass, shoot or head in the opponents third. 2/1 joint fav

Ollie and Birch - amazing that it could EVER come to this. Two absolute legends, who dragged us back up from the abyss around the early bits of this century. Responsible for really, really happy times supporting this club, be it the route to Cardiff and the following season culminating with Hilborough. We really were in it together then. Not now though and the knives are already out.
As many have said in the last 7 or 8 months, stopping mucking around. Have a Plan A and a Plan B and possibly a Plan C, but no more please. Get a way of playing, get a first choice team and stick with it. Start badly and this could be a nightmare... 3/1 (gulp) [cry]
