Nick Powell released for loan by Manchester United with Preston leading the chase…. FFS… he's just the type of forward running midfielder we need…!!!!
It's not rocket science. Wins breed confidence, breed form, breed more wins. When our five game winning run climaxed with the result against Boro everyone said we were a cut above anyone else in this league. Now Boro are being touted as massive favourites because wins are making them believe in themselves. Our players haven't become **** overnight. Add a couple of good results onto the back of this one and they'll be flying again.
Then let's go back to a back three and use Elmo and Robbo to their full potential, get Abel and Diomande up front and that just leaves a bounty of CMs to choose from. We can do it without Chester, but what a bonus he would be.
Too true, Elmo is a prime example, at least Davies is professional even if he's had enough, Elmo seems to blatantly not give a **** and I'm amazed Bruce keeps picking him
Not convinced Elmo is putting it all in, could just be fatigued maybe due to Bruces oddball selections where certain players (Meyler) play regardless but I'm still not convinced
Simply? Perhaps you might consider that the interviews are mandatory, the question can't be dodged, but the answer must be very carefully considered; that is if you accept that a player laying blame on his manager would be a very serious thing.
Brucie would play him at rb , we can't have midfielders venturing beyond the halfway line , unless we're going to play them as a second striker !
Elmo's getting a bit too much **** on here, he's not been as good as in previous seasons, but he's not been a complete disaster either. I think his performances have suffered as much from us changing from 3-5-2, as they have from anything.
He spends a lot of time in Maccy Ds (usually unarmed). He kicks about with the 6 a sides on a Sun night in Sandbach. I think he has an interest problem.
I agree to some extent but it's clearly not working with us , we followed up victories over Bolton and reading with not turning up at Rotherham , beat burnley and then put in that display at Preston ???
You haven't called me on anything, you wrote 'rubbish' when I said I wasn't convinced about Elmo, which is hardly a mindblowing statement given that he's not been at his usual standards this season
Agreed we should still be playing 3-5-2 with our defensive wing backs. It is the system that best suits the players we have available.
You and OLM are right no doubt, it's just a shame Elmo seems a bit of a shadow of himself this season for whatever reason
I think the end of Davies is nigh anyway - he seems to be pricing himself above what we are prepared to pay for someone of his age and talent.
