Kenny Foggo 1,116 Posted July 26, 2020 Amazing people are up in arms at hawkeye when the owners of our club have delivered the worst season in our history... do you just not care about our 1st team? Dreadful... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy 3,283 Posted July 26, 2020 1 minute ago, Surfer said: It is where he played for Aberdeen and I think Stiepermann will leave with McLean taking his position. I don’t foresee him leaving unless he wants too, it’s true he’s not done a lot in the PL but he’s plenty good enough for the Championship. Yes but no disrespect but I’d rather see young Martin who looks a prospect than McClean. That said I’m sure Farke will have plans for his favourite midfielder!

The guy is not a Premier League footballer - at least he hasn't shown it for us - but he's a good player for any Championship side. To suggest he's replaced by Josh Martin who doesn't even play the same position is just a weird thing to say. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Here we go again, there’s an opinion, mine based on his performance this season is very poor, exactly where does McClean play then? No.10 or holding central midfield? Because you guys can5 agree, yet Farke’s hasn’t used him at no.10! No hate but to push on we need to upgrade while we have money and incentive to do so. Hell you can make an argument for all our squad including Drmic that they’re good enough for the championship, but our model of self sufficiency needs us to improve our team when possible. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted July 26, 2020 Spleens nearly vented. Just waiting for one or two slackers to pipe up. And somebody said this season would be easily forgotten. You're having a Giraffe. This has been the strangest football season ever. Anyway. Its not like its taken until today to learn we weren't good enough. Was anyone expecting another ManC upset with a bench with two keepers and no pubic hair on it? Blame who and what you like but it will make no difference whatsoever. Whether you have some hatred for Villa or not is not pertinent. Get over it. Roll on next season and hope for a good start Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wcorkcanary 4,329 Posted July 26, 2020 1 hour ago, Indy said: Great to get this season over with, reality was we had a squad where lots of players developed and learned others just got found out. Now we take the money ship out those clearly not good enough and build with the young hungry players we’ve already signed......looking good for next year. Totally agree Indyo and I wont panic if we dont go up again straight away. Lots of squad development to come. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You might not, but I could name a few posters already who will be predicting our relegation to L1 the first time we lose a fixture next season. God forbid it’s our first game or the bleating will be horrendous. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Indy 3,283 Posted July 26, 2020 Just now, Number9 said: Farke has used him at 10, but decided not to keep playing him there. I can’t say I remember him starting there, but surely if he’s a natural number 10 why move him to a position where he’s really very poor, yes he runs a lot, but the amount of ties he loses the ball, doesn’t track runners is just awful. The reason we’ve already bought in two young replacements and probably more to come. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The reason we’ve already bought in two young replacements and probably more to come. I agree, but I don't pick the team Indy. Farke doesn't seem to say much apart from he is our best header and covers alot of ground. It hurts my eyes to watch him waving his arms and pointing, instead of pressing and tackling. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What a great idea, we’ll use Nor from us, and wich from them and call the new club Norwich! We’ll play at Norwich as they own their own ground and it’s a City not a small smelly little town, call it Norwich City! We can then have joint majority share holders with DS, MWJ & ME, with the six million injected by Evans to keep the Binners afloat each year and make sure there’s plenty of red wine and top class scampi available at the Gunn club! Jobs a good un, we keep our club, wind up that ****ty little league 1 club! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
