  1. I''d like to see him stay. Solid player and always pops with the odd goal. Can do a job for us next year.
  2. Only being saying for two months Madidison should be playing. Finally seen the light - all too late though for this season .......
  3. Can''t believe Bennett''s playing what a joke. Sooner Irvine goes the better. We might as well still have AN here as he picks the same old dross week in week out. Why is Tettey out today? Injured, suspended?
  4. Bennett''s a complete waste of space. Villa, Huddersfield and now Fulham and that''s just his mistakes that have cost us goals in the last three games ...............
  5. Been saying this for ages. Best player at Aberdeen this season when on loan. He must wonder what he''s done wrong sitting on the bench each week saying guys getting on the pitch ahead of him just going through the motions. Godfrey, Maddison and Pritchard in the middle of the park on Saturday please.
  6. I have no time for Whitaker whatsoever but based on last night he was better than Martin, Bennett and Klose. I would rather see him start Saturday at right back than Martin. At least Djiks and surely Bassong has to play so basically picking one from Martin, Bennett and Klose.
  7. Not far short of what happened on Saturday at Villa for their second goal with the first goal last night. Total lack of communication and Bennett should have put the ball in the stands. Fact remains McGovern is one of the worst keepers we''ve ever had at the club.
  8. Guy hasn''t got a clue. Gone for the safe option every game and followed in AN''s footsteps in terms of team selection and tactics. Needs to have first team matters taken out of his hands today.
  9. Have been calling for Maddison to start for weeks. Don''t know what the guy has done wrong? Surely he must start Saturday?
  10. That''s ridiculous - he must have had a double standing in for him when he had his medical and got measured ... Hope he brings back Ruddy tonight. Another scary thought is that Malumbu is fit and in the squad .......
  11. Add to that a short keeper behind them who can''t seem to catch a ball or command his box and it could get messy ...............
  12. Its all about the players we bring in. New keeper, two new centre backs, left back and defensive midfielder. Only defender I see worth persevering with is Pinto, assuming Djiks leaves. Like to see Tofollo back and given a shot. Midfield - got to keep Howson and Thomson to come in once fit. Maddison and Pritchard. Like to see more of Wildschut before commenting. Up front - Murphys/Oliveira/Jerome. Also Morris. Think Dorans, Tettey and Wes are all past their sell-by date but probably good enough as squad back up. We all know about Martin, Whittaker, Klose, Bassong and Turner so see most of them going or at best back up. Bennett ought to be better than he is but maybe he has had too many chances? Wouldn''t mind seeing Rudd back but a new keeper would be good. Interesting times ahead?
  13. Still think we will get enough points at home to finish in the top half. Probably 9th or 10th but still a very poor season based on expectations.
  14. Pritchard and Maddison yes, but can''t see where Wes and Naismith are the way forward; brilliant as Wes has been for us over the years. Good as Jacob Murphy has been this season, there have been some games where he has clearly been tired and often subbed without making much of an impact. I still feel giving Canos a couple of starts would have given Murphy a rest and Canos a fair crack of the whip. All a mute point now anyway ......
  15. When you consider the Centre backs for Leeds and Brentford have scored 7 times between them, Preston 6, Newcastle 5, Huddersfield 5 and Brighton and Reading 4 our return of two seems poor I agree.
  16. I know the point here is Bennett and I don''t really rate him either but one thing that just came to mind is the fact our Centre Backs have scored two goals between them all season (Martin and Klose). Whilst I agree that the main job is to defend and god only knows they have failed in that department I am sure if you looked at other teams and given the number of corners and free kicks we have had surely there ought to have been a better return?
  17. Klose has been on the bench recently and Bassong not even featured so you would think he would go with Klose. However, I think Klose will leave in the summer and maybe that will be a factor. In truth I don''t think Klose is suited to the Championship and Bassong is too prone to errors so take your pick. One thing is sure two new centre backs required prior to next season.
  18. No, I''m afraid its another evening of torment with Martin and Whittaker filling in for Pinto and Dijks I suspect. At least we have the assurance of Bennett in the middle with either Bassong or Klosse and if all that fails McGovern to bail us out .....
  19. I fail to see how having an opinion on players makes me a miserable git? I am 100% behind the club and travel to see them whenever I can . My daughter who is at Uni in Huddersfield will go to the game tomorrow and if there was any way I could make it down there from Aberdeen I would but work precludes midweek travel. What does make me miserable however is seeing the same old faces turned out week in and week out when results don''t improve. I agree 100% that the younger players need to wait their turn when the first team is playing well but nobody can say that has been the case this season? If that makes me miserable then yes I can agree .....
  20. Yes, I rated Cody McDonald and Canos. Just like I rate Maddison and Tofollo but sadly the club will stick with the usual suspects. Look at the U23''s last night - I wonder how many of them will ever get a chance in the first team or get moved on?
  21. Last August I was on holiday in Sorrento and met a Brentford supporter by the pool bar. They had just been beaten by Huddersfield in their first match of the season and then lost 1-0 in the cup at Exeter. We had beaten Blackburn 4-1 on the Saturday and we discussed how automatic promotion was a given for us and Newcastle. He had serious concerns as to whether Brentford would avoid relegation and to the point in hand what a great player Canos had been for them and how much they could use him back at Brentford ..... how prophetic. Real kicker is its probable that Brentford will now finish above us and Canos will probably score more goals for Brentford this season in the time he has been there since his transfer then the likes of Naismith (4), Hoolahan (3) and Pritchard (3) will score by the time our season ends?
  22. I''ve seen Maddison at Aberdeen and was very impressed. I think with him and Pritchard we have more than enough cover for Wes in that role. Wes has been a great player for us (probably one of our best) but his "going" days get less and less each season. I''d be happy to start next season giving the likes of Toffolo, Maddison, Murphys, Pritchard and even Morris all a fair crack.
  23. Ruddy Pinto, Bassong, Bennett, Djiks Tettey, Howson, Maddison, Josh Murphy, Wildschut, Jerome (or Oliveira if fit) Howson as skipper and hopefully next season too.
  24. Between a rock and a hard place here. McGovern better at shot stopping and his kicking is good but IMO he is too short, doesn''t command the box and often just pushes the ball out. Ruddy is better in air but his kicking is poor and always liable to do something stupid as at Sheff Wed on Sat. I''m not sure Rudd is the answer either. Jones is past it and McGovern now 32. In short new keeper for me is needed next season but in truth we could have the best keeper in the world but if the defense is as bad as ours it won''t make much difference. Have a feeling it will be McGovern for the rest of the season now.
  25. Ridiculous substitution. We needed someone to hold the ball up when it came out of defense. He did the same at Newcastle and we all know what happened there .... We just can''t defend. Second half was just backs to wall, waiting for the inevitable. Unless we get two or three goals ahead we are never going to look comfortable. Needs sorting before next season. Two new centre backs as a minimum.
