Can just picture him throwing one in at Fratton...

 

Nightmare fuel, thanks for that Can picture it so clearly. At least we don’t **** around at the back anymore.

 

That was the one thing he was good at though!

 

good point

 

On sale to members tomorrow lunchtime.

 

Thanks for the reminder. The boy has been nudging me about it as well

 

Went in early to make sure all was good and ready my side, managed to get 2 before they were technically available to me.
Result.

 

Nice one mate. Glad you got sorted.

Were there many left?

 

Fewer than 20 I reckon. And they seemed to be going as I was selecting.

So apparently Ronnie Edwards can play as a DM.

Brilliant. We're crying out for cover there. Turns out we might have had the solution under our noses all along. Took the QPR manager about two days to work it out.

 

Reading this did get me excited for next season though. Edwards & Charles (if we can keep hold of him) are very talented young players. I’d also love to see Ballard & Amo given solid run ins next year

 

Maybe he can but not yet at the level required for the PL.

 

He'll fit in fine with the rest of the team then.

 

Exactly. He can't be worse than what we had against Brentford.

 

Played there for a grand total of about six minutes before he was moved into the back line, tbf

 

To be fair to Gav he has mostly played with a crap defence in from of him or a lot of mucking about at the back. Most keepers would struggle to cope with the amount of chances that the opposition have had. A good example of this is Ramsdale.

 

I agree he'd likely do better with a better defensive screen in front of him. His save percentage was the worst in the PL and even the worst in the Championship last season which doesn't make me want to persist with him. I suppose the hope there was that our tactics meant that when we gave the ball away it would generally be a pretty easy chance to score from that we would be giving up. However it was noticeable that even a rusty, ageing and fairly limited Alex McCarthy made a difference when he came in at the end of last season.

 

Keepers do seem to get better the older they get and Gav is only 22. Here's hoping.

 

Hopefully he's been doing some strength training as part of his recovery.

 

Six minutes in which they didn't concede goal. That's a long time!
