    I’m not sure you are getting the point I was trying to make. It wasn’t who was the better player but manager. Emi clearly was better than Rowe and highlights further the debate regarding Wagner being better than Farke. 

    No you’re not getting mine and others.

    It’s not about who the better player is, it’s about how key they were/are to the team’s ability to play their way.

    Emi was almost essential for Farke’s system and we constantly struggled to find an alternative. Rowe is a very good player but not essential to Wagner’s.

    Rowe is not equivalent to Emi. He has a knack of scoring and is a very good player but he’s clearly not as vital to this team as Emi was.

    Pretty much everything good went through Emi, much like the Hoolahan years. He was the heartbeat of that team, it’s clear Rowe’s contribution isn’t like that.

    I’d far rather see Sargent stay than Rowe given the choice, it’s not even close and that says it all. This team can survive without Rowe, that team couldn’t survive without Emi.

    He's a right oddity. Does not really seem to do much, has no real pace or strength and yet..

     

    Just loves to pop up and score from time to time

    He’s more like a wide striker/10 than a winger.

    He’s a clever and tidy player with a great finish and a knack of getting in good positions.

    Does the defensive work well, but he doesn’t have electric pace or the desire to get chalk on his boots. In fact he often does the opposite and drifts centrally.

    He’s just a different type of option.

    After all that talk about the price tag when he signed, £8millon is an absolute steal

    Thing is he wasn’t the right player for that season but I always liked him and thought he always looked to me like he had bags of potential. 

    You’re right, it’s a steal now. I hope we can keep him somehow, he’s a phenomenal player and could lead the line for years.

    C’mon Mark you know you want an American as our best player, just makes sense.

    Hanley at his best is our rock. Kenny is probably one of the most versatile players we ever had on our books. 

    Scored a midfielder's goal recently and centre back today. He wasn't that bad as a full back for a brief period either.

    We'll miss the Mayor when he moves on. 

    Hopefully he doesn’t until he’s just too old to do what he does. Yea he’s got mistakes in him, but that’s why he plays for us and not someone better. People call players underrated a lot when it’s not necessarily true, but IMO Kenny is by both some supporters and non-local media.

    The ex pats are talking 

    Bit of a weird attack Buh, I’m an ex pat and I often agree with you (even if not your methods sometimes). In fact I think a lot of those who can’t get to every game from what I’ve seen share or at least understand some of your concerns.

    Most of the posters I see who don’t agree with you about actions at games are the Season Ticket holders.

    It’s a weird one for me, I can only get to a handful of home games a season so the change and tension in atmosphere from what I’ve experienced over the last 30 years is so palpable to me.

    The idea that it’s just some small minority booing and that everything would be fine if they didn’t is so obviously wrong I don’t understand how people going to every game can honestly believe it.

    Who knows what will come out of the 'tombola' this game, but I'd be surprised if SVH starts.

    We need to have better overall control before the unknown quantity of SVH is slotted in, and for me that means Nunez in for Sargent.

     

     

    I seriously wouldn’t understand why we signed him if Sargent’s injured and we dont replace him with SVH.

    Cardiff are on a poor run and we are at home, the guys match fit and has a great record at arguably a higher level. Play him.

    Let's see what today's box of frogs reveals.

    We should win this easily, but then I'm "entitled" and it rankles with me that the Binners are more concerned with the results of the Southampton and Leeds games than we are. It should be the other way around.

    Doesn't it you?

    If we seriously want to be promotion contenders we simply have to win games like today. I don’t think it’s entitled when you acknowledge that winning today is very much the club’s expectation from their own comms.

    QPR was an annoying performance and result, we all saw those subs and negative decisions lose us two points that were there when we needed to continue to establish ourselves in the playoff race, but in context of our overall run it wasn’t the end of the world. 

    You can’t fail to beat Cardiff in their current form, especially given how much we rely on our home form. That’s not entitled to me, that’s just the obvious conclusion. Is that a lot of pressure? Yes, but that’s what everyone involved with the club is paid for.

    Just out of interest, if Sarge isn't available today, how would you set the team up? You can't really drop Barnes after a goal and an assist on Tuesday, so I guess it's just hoping that he deems SVH ready for a start. But if he starts with Barnes up top and Sara just behind, I hope we can still just get behind the team.

    If SVH wasn’t available to start why did we loan him and let Idah go when our star striker is struggling with injuries?

    The guys been playing in a Serie A team, ok he wasn’t getting a lot of minutes but he has been in squads and playing.

    He’s been here long enough now, if Wagner doesn’t start him that’s his decision and does question why we replaced Idah with our only signing for me.

    I’m assuming it’s a straight swap if Sargents injured personally, that’s what I’d do as I assume that’s why we signed him, and will be surprised if not. The other viable alternative I see is starting Nunez and pushing Sara up to support Barnes which worked from the bench, but I think that still raises questions about why not SVH?
