I don't think we've seen enough of De Bock yet, needs to be given more time to settle, and experience the Championship. Pearce looks to be a good up and coming left back, and I think he should retain his place till last game of season, however, experience is the talking point. Does Pearce have the necessary experience, and know how to be able to take on the better players in Championship. When you saw the controversy video regarding Saiz, you'll see, and I think it was Pearce, you'll see him turn away from the attacking player, meaning, he turned and spun round to his left, and not his right. This gave the attacking player ample time to move forward and get his shot off, while Pearce, in doing his left turn spin put himself in a blind spot in no mans land so to speak, which allowed the attacking player to move forward and shoot. Pearce would do himself a big favour by watching videos / playback of Berardi in the left back position, and watch how Berardi acts and reacts when closely watching an attacking winger. I personally think Berardi should stay, I don't understand, or can see no reason why some are putting him on "to go list". He's a very good and experienced defender, he can play both left and right back, and wingers / overlappers have a hard job getting around or past him. Whether Pennington plays well or not is irrelevant now, Evertons manager is taking him back to Everton, and has said he has plans for Pennington. Next season we'll have Antonsson (who should stay) Klich (who needs to be given his chances) and little Ideguchi; if Ideguchi is as good as they say, then he's going to be a welcome sight playing alongside Forshaw. With Klich and Ideguchi fighting for a place, it should strengthen our CM. Players who should leave Anita, Lonergan, Lasogga, Sacko, Phillips, O'Kane, Ekuban, Weidweld, Grot, Dallas. I'm tempted to put Vieira on list cos Klich and Ideguchi will be back next season. Cibicki I took off list cos he also deserves his chances. Dallas is a hard one, he'd be a great sub off bench, or a great fill in for anyone injured, plus, he don't mind fighting for his place.
Good Morning everyone Up early in readiness for the journey Norfolk I've kidded myself that we'll win 1-2 Enjoy the game & your day
Morning folks. We need to win to put us as favourites for that coveted 12th place, I have to pinch myself to make sure it's not a dream. We won't of course,a 2-2 semi goal fest.
Don't tease, we're not there yet, I wish I had your optimism, 12th and I can gloat for the next 3 months to anyone who'll listen.
Good Morning to Matt and co from a sunny Bardsey It appears that ailing is in the coach along with Ryan Edmunson I wish them both good luck especially young 16 year old Ryan .Lets hope he plays lets face it he can't be worse than Grot or Ekuban
Good morning the only ground i will see today is northamptons right next to pound shop .12th is a terrible place after last season.
It's been said a few times by those in the media who spend time at TA and watch training and games, and also TA insiders that Pearce is the most gifted player at the club and has a huge future. He has played midfield and was moved to left back but has even played up front. He could be whatever his manager wants him to be, he's that good? On the subject of Cibicki, yet another player who was thrown away by both managers for some reason, which I believe is attitude. There is something a bit different about him as anyone who watched the game he played for the U23s will tell you. Dont think he was happy being dropped but started the game and within a couple of minutes had got onto the ball swayed his hips and scored. he looked a bit above the rest of the lads which is saying something. A few minutes later he did it again 2 goals and has never been back with the kids since? Love to know what goes on behind closed doors sometimes.
Ryan Edmondson has travelled with the senior squad. Could the 16 yo be about to make his senior debut?
