Mags embarrassing themselves yet again

I’ve never had the admiration others do for Trafford, I’d be happy if the Mags sign him. He’s too much of a ‘confidence player’ for a goalkeeper. I prefer someone like Roefs, who seems a bit of a boring lad, who’ll just take the knocks and work on his game.

 

I've got no particularly strong feelings either way in terms of his ability as a keeper as I've only seen him in his games against us and for the England teams. He seems to have a knack with penalties but that doesn't make him unique or a great keeper. He also benefitted last season from playing behind a very dominant defensive unit, particularly their CB's.

He does seem to be a very confident lad, to the point of going on like a tit a fair bit. As such, he'd fit in no bother up the road.

 

According to the “never go to a game” mag sitting behind me today, officials hate them and give everything against them. When I pointed out that Joelinton got 4 final warning before a 96th minute yellow card the other week, he tried to argue. At which point I just gave up!!

 

It’s the best we’ve been ran since the 50s and arguably better as the focus and planning is second to none. Everything you worry about like will we cope without Jobe, can these players make the step up, etc… has already been thought through and planned for. The execution ain’t bad either. So much so I don’t worry about the club but just will we get a result not can we as we’re more than capable of beating anyone most days.

 

Great post marra. I started following the lads in 74 so missed the 50's.. Reid 1999/2000 seasons, Bruce with Bent, Welbeck and Asamh(sp) and Big Sam's 4 months are the only good times I can really look back on. Literally, we've never had it so good...

Hhhaaa'wwwwaaaaayyyyyy the lads
