In games where he did push forward either he wasn’t covered of didn’t get back. This idea that he is an attacking central midfielder is speculative to say the least. As an attacking midfielder he has 23 games career games with 1 goal and 1 assist. In 24 games in defensive midfield for us he has 1 goal and 2 assists. Martin has had had players out of position but Downes isn’t one of them.
I will always consider Gorka's challenge to have been legal … got the ball … but brilliantly brutal. At least three Derby players should have been sent off in the aftermath.
I know it would be expensive but if they won’t go take their shirts off the squad and tell them to stay at home. The prospect of not playing or training for a year would likely mean an end to their careers. Ball in their box.
Who was saying it was a promotion push last season? Like every season some were making such noises but I think most realised it was all about rebuilding after Cooper's failed experiment and with losing expensive players.
Exactly and how Naughton has seemed to be in control (most of the time). PL standard of thought and reading the game is worth at least 2 metres in this league.
What a load of horse… We were leaky in some games and lost some we should have won but … We scored more than last season. Scoring from open play suggests we played or tried to attacking football not one dimensional pap served up for two season. Given the last two seasons of disruption and 2019-2021 of dire football I'm surprised STs are selling so well. But that approach doesn’t fit the negative narrative of constantly whining about not being in the Premier League because we are a big club'. We are not a big club and apart from a few seasons we are doing as well as e have throughout our history. Our wider area has a small population and since the mid-80 has been poor. Just looked up average attendances (numbers go back the 81-82) and we had only one season outside the PL / First Division when average attendances were higher than last season.
