Hopefully not something long term. I would assume that said player dropping out unexpectedly at the last minute would be Cantwell given him not being in the squad and all Edited November 21, 2020 by cambridgeshire canary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TIL 1010 4,722 Posted November 21, 2020 Cantwell missing again will just start the rumour mill running again after Farke declaring 24 hours ago he was fit to play. Something needs to be said by either the club or Cantwell to prevent social media going OTT. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I want to see Cantwell back as soon as possible, he’s got the potential to be our match winner and season player of the season! Just want the best players available when needed.

Not too surprised, when you have not played for a club in.. almost a year now is it now? And the only time you have played it's with the under 21's you probably would not be all too fussed about said club to be fair to them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nothing they say will stop people going over the top, so why bother. Anyway people want a scandal it's the same reason that they proclaim a player to be THE THING BEST EVER or the worse than my nan, it makes them feel like they have something worth saying.

Much as he get's slack Cantwell has bags of potential and can easily turn a game around. Look at when he last played for us, utterly bossed it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheGunnShow 5,932 Posted November 21, 2020 I don't think this is bad with two keepers. If we accept McGovern probably won't be staying too much longer, why not give Barden a taste of being a sub keeper with a proven, experienced international telling him how it's done from the bench?? All part of the matchday experience. Nice to see McAleer get it - Farke's done this before. Hell, Man City away last game of the season was a prime example as he let a couple come on late just for that experience. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So nobody other than ' idiots ' want to know what on earth is going on then ? Not having that at all as i am sure there is hardly a City fan not scratching his head over the situation.

Orly 277 Posted November 21, 2020 (edited) I hate to say it, but I am struggling to remember a norwich striker with a worse first touch than Hugill.  Makes me nostalgic for Chris Brown. Edited November 21, 2020 by Orly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, indeed, we are powerless. Its not a situation I welcome at all, but I see no solution , mainly because the subject is dragged up nearly every day ...and that's just on here, I dont do any social media so am pretty much oblivious to what's being said other than what's reported on here. I'm sure that as soon as there is something concrete to report, well be told.
