Players like slater are totally anonymous when the teams not playing well Too many passengers Youd have to double check he wasnt subbed in the 2nd half
In all the rebuilds we've done under Acun, he always seems to forget the need for characters and leaders in the dressing room. We're crying out for a Smallwood or a Honeyman right now.
As far as a number 6 goes, I think Kyprianou would be decent. Posh are mid-table in League One so even a Championship team in a relegation scrap is a step up. Problem would be if more stable Championship teams want him.
Posh always seem to play hardball in January and let their best go in the summer. But I agree it’s one of the best options out there
He’s in the final year of his contract so we could force their hand in January. Other clubs will be sniffing though. I can’t think of many decent defensive mids we could sign who would want to come. He’s the pick of the bunch in League One.
Yeah I think they did the same with Mason-Clarke who tore us up yesterday. Difference is Cov loaned him back. Example of what good clubs do in long term planning for recruitment
A. more interesting stat for me, is that Pandur has more yellow cards (2) than Slater (0) and the same nummber as Alfie Jones (2), `Mehlem, Palmer...we simply are fannies im afraid...
I like Kyprianou, he did well at Leyton Orient and I always thought he’d go on to play at a higher level, but I think we’ll go in for Lewis Wing, I think that agreement about being unable to sign Reading players is bollocks and he won’t cost a lot. There’s also Kyle Dempsey who has done very well at Bolton and I don’t know how much of League Two you’ve watched this season, but Ossama Ashley at Salford has been (and I hate using this term) a beast as their Number 6. He doesn’t create anything really, he is just a ball winner, his main job is getting the ball and giving it to the defence to play on. Absolutely nothing fancy at all.
Not sure it's Washington anyway. The guy who told me on transfer deadline day before anyone knew of the deal hasn't got a clue about interest in him. And he worked at Chelsea.
It's a difficult call and a difficult situation, but I think if we keep buying from League 1, we're essentially building a League 1 squad aren't we?
I like Kyprianou a lot. Decent age, he’s captained Posh, strong, aggressive and pretty good on the ball to boot. Last year of his contract so we’d be daft not to bid. Wouldn’t mind Lewis Wing either but I’d prefer Kyprianou as I think he has a higher ceiling. Not been impressed with Puerta at all.
Tell me what he does aside from “give it his all” he’s a professional. He’s highly praised for the bare minimum.
Running around for the sake of it earns you brownie points with a lot of supporters. Even though he hides during games, doesn’t show for the ball, put a tackle in or impose himself on games. Just because Giles is a lazy, stroppy **** doesn’t shield the likes of Slater and Coyle from criticism.
we're bottom of the league but apparently you cant be critical of any players the ones who have took us there a midfielder not even having one yellow card is poor, hes not making anywhere near enough fouls or tackles
