rjwc22 0 Posted April 8, 2009 They keep finding young kids who love playing against us. How much on him to score in the derby? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blue 0 Posted April 8, 2009 An alternative view is that JM has had all season to pick him but waits until the boy is selected by England U16s to an Easter tournement to pull him out of that (who wouldn''t want to away with England?) to probably at best warm the bench. I''m sure the palyer is absolutely delighted to miss out on England. Still we don''t have any other young players that we could try out now that JM has f***d up the season by being clueless - he has sent them all out on loan!

Do you think Brazillians, Argentinians, French, Spanish and Dutch sit around discussing how they can rake their studs down that poncy winger''s thigh, then boot the ball as hard as they can into the mixer for the big man to nod one in?Spain don''t have a single player capable of bullying, but brush other teams aside with patience, movement and skill. Let''s hope this boy, and all the others of a similar age, will be able to play their way out of trouble. Although not against us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wouldnt wish that on any player other than Kevin Muscat, and would not want any player - good or not - if they were looking to put other professionals at risk like that. I am not adverse to the idea of giving the kid a few bruises, but cruciate ligament damage is a different story all together, and what goes around comes around..... I hope that the kid is awful for Ipswich dont get me wrong, but going in to take him out of the game is the cowards way, we should be looking to pass around him.....

Turbot 0 Posted April 9, 2009 I heard Connor Wickham is a big lad, a lot bigger than Sammy so I would suggest caution on that front. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

norfolkbroadslim 223 Posted April 9, 2009 Deary me, what have NCFC become that the fans talk about hacking a 16 year old school kid to win a game? Are we that bad, that this is our only strategy? What have we become? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
