Tetteys Jig 830 Posted December 7, 2015 Already scored more then Johan in a handful of apps. Get real. Mbokani is our best striker and should have started on Sat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nutty nigel 7,509 Posted December 10, 2015 I just dont get how people like JF believe this seasons squad is weaker than the one that got relegated! Jerome or RVW. Grabban or Becchio. Mbokani or Elmander.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yorkshire Canary 118 Posted December 10, 2015 Very Very harsh he is much much better. Give him more game time and he will get goals and assists Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hogesar 9,618 Posted December 10, 2015 As a side issue I didn''t think Elmander was that bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,509 Posted December 10, 2015 No he wasn''t. But I think Mobkani is better. The idea that the 13/14 squad was as good as this one is laughable to me. Snoddy for Jarvis maybe? But that''s about the only one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That''s both starting 11 and the depth to the squad. Whilst not strictly relevant to your point, I do think in general the teams around us are also stronger than the teams that were around us in 13/14. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Katie Borkins 1 Posted December 10, 2015 [quote user="Wiz"]He''s a class A carthorse imo.[/quote]Mbokani = class A carthorseHooper = quality strikerClive Platt = a good signing to complement Jamie CuretonOn the subject of loyalty, while these managers were in charge I believe the following nicknames were attempted by the wizened w@nker.Roeder = Rat BoyGunn = PuppetHoughton = Coco the Clown, "Puketon"Adams = Radio PresenterNeil = GollumFor someone with so little to offer the club, he certainly has high expectations of it.

But in practice I''m not sure if the extra money will end up with better players or the same players earning more money.. The biggest problem in 13/14 was that we blew the budget on three players who weren''t good enough and contributed little. That hasn''t happened this time. Robbie Brady alone has now contributed more than RVW, Hooper and Fer did all season back then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
king canary 7,578 Posted December 10, 2015 You can so a notable step up in quality between Mbokani and Jerome- his first touch, link up play and awareness is very good.Elmander was god awful though. So slow, no real goal threat and couldn''t hold the ball up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Especially taking into account our struggles in the final third. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,509 Posted December 12, 2015 Would the 13/14 team have got a point out of that? I very much doubt it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JF 694 Posted December 12, 2015 13/14 Norwich 2 Everton 2. Far better 2nd half today and that second half is needed for the full 90 against Sours and United. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nutty nigel 7,509 Posted December 12, 2015 Was a bit gutless to throw in the towel and bump this thread during the game JF? Glad the class of 15/16 have a little bit more about them ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
