keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted January 4, 2020 Players like Buendia and Pukki have done alright. I really don't see how birthplace has much of an effect. Just my preference. Nothing sinister. Would love to a see a totally English squad. I think it does also avoid some of the problems that can occur when signing players from abroad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Great Mass Debater 1,090 Posted January 4, 2020 Not sure Hanley really needs a rest, to the extent we need to play Amadou out of position. Today probably would have been a game for Heise if he hadnt already left. Great to see Idah get a run Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

These are the types of players we should be taking an interest in rather than foreign born We signed a young lad from Rochdale in the summer didn’t we? Adshead? So we obviously are keeping an eye on those types of players. Edited January 4, 2020 by Gordon Bennett Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He'l be a hell of a player in time to come, I suspect some of the big boys will be sniffing around though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted January 4, 2020 Idah was behind the defenders when Marco passed but outstripped them. So delighted for another one to make progress at still 19. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Great Mass Debater 1,090 Posted January 4, 2020 That probably would have been disallowed in the Premier League. So refreshing to be able to celebrate a goal without the apprehension Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

These are the types of players we should be taking an interest in rather than foreign born Not sure if you're aware KG but Matheson is actually a Norwich fan - his dad comes from Norwich. All this has already been discussed on here when Matheson scored for Rochadale against Man U at Old Trafford earlier this season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Great Mass Debater 1,090 Posted January 4, 2020 What always surprises me about these types of games is how rarely players seem to take their opportunity. Standard practice to give frustrated fringe players a run in these games, like Leitner, yet you'd expet them to be pumped up, desperate to prove themselves running round like Bugs Bunny on steroids. But so frequenly we see them put in lacklustre performances. Could be a lack of match sharpness, but you dont need match sharpness to run yourself into the ground. Great to see both Idah and Stiepermann showcase themselves within the first 2 minutes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Great Mass Debater 1,090 Posted January 4, 2020 Lots of empty seats. I know we're bottom of the Premier League, but still a Premier League draw, and in terms of table their best shot at a Premier League scalp. You'd have thought they may have got a few more in Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
