Jacko 0 Posted October 10, 2016 Johnson played on the left wing at Blackburn when we won 2-1 and scored a cracker. Dorrans played centrally with Howson wide right. I literally have no idea what you are talking about. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can read the match report too if you like. It says "In the absence of Tettey, Johnson played a screening role from the start". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jacko 0 Posted October 10, 2016 And ultimately yes, any professional footballer can do a job in a variety of positions. Adam Drury did a job at centre half once upon a time under Roeder. It just wasn''t a particularly good one. This is up there with the David De Gea and Declan Rudd thread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GJP 79 Posted October 10, 2016 I''m a Dorrans fan. But how much of a look in would he have had if O''Neil had stayed?I prefer Dorrans. I think he has a little bit more in his locker but he wasn''t really in the picture last season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lake district canary 4,531 Posted October 10, 2016 [quote user="Indy"]Why would you try to play a player out of position when we have a ready made up in form winger? Murphy!It''s a daft to think of Dorrans as Hoola Han said, no......and if AN did play Dorrans out wide I''d be very dissapointed...Would rather see Pritchard or Canos out wide left after Murphy.[/quote]So would I. For the umpteenth time, suggesting putting Dorrans wide left was to give a bit of bite across the whole midfield defensively, particularly for the Newcastle game if Brady was unavailable. The other players are basically attackers, Dorrans has a bit more bite in his game. Its not that difficult a concept. We could have done with a better defence against Newcastle......

morty 0 Posted October 10, 2016 I think you need a checkup from the neck up fella. The reason you get grief, and if you actually pay attention it''s not just one or two people, it''s quite a few, is that you spunk your ridiculous opinions all over this forum, then strangely wonder why you get grief for them.Then, despite dozens of posters telling you they are ridiculous, you persist, over page after page, trying to justify yourself, until the thread turns into a complete mess, and people eventually give up and stop replying.Can''t be your fault though, eh?

lake district canary 4,531 Posted October 10, 2016 Dozens? Over egging it as usual. I upset some people by being a bit creative in my thinking - but to my mind that is their problem. I''ve shown over and over that Dorrans can play on the left should the system demand it - and several others have said the same thing. Some people can''t handle that and come up with sorts of untruths to rubbish it. Well that is their problem too. I don''t expect ever to see Dorrans playing there because the manager seems to be sticking to his guns with an attacking line up - but for a one off game as at Newcastle, he could have come up with a defensive line up - and maybe he should have done. The Wolves game too - especially after the Newcastle debacle. You carry on with your vendetta, I''ll carry on trying to get my usually harmless footballing points across as best I can.

Katie Borkins 1 Posted October 10, 2016 "For the umpteenth time, suggesting putting Dorrans wide left was to give a bit of bite across the whole midfield defensively, particularly for the Newcastle game if Brady was unavailable."Mmmm. Except after pages of posts questioning why you would play Dorrans there against Newcastle, you then repeated the same suggestion for the team against Wolves.You know, the game where Brady played and scored. It is almost as if you wanted the controversy.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

morty 0 Posted October 10, 2016 I have no issues with anyone expressing an opinion, that''s what forums are about. You don''t come across as stupid lakey, but I don''t think you even believe the opinions you post yourself.I think you do it deliberately to spark controversy and then revel in the ensuing attention.And that''s just a bit pathetic.
