Sadly I don't think Arby looks ready tbh. and the bad news on Willis is a real blow, makes loosing Flanners without cover even worse. We have no luck with injuries.
So if it's the case that we have no defenders and the ones we do have are on their arses why haven't we dipped into the free transfers???
have to say he never seemed to do a lot when in the U23's but great start for the lad, let's hope he does not fall to the defenders curse in his next game. quite a free scoring team are wigan and i think we have noted how they have a habit of scoring late goals, the lads kept them at bay and i only remember one 'real' chance, a one v one that hume was covering and patterson saved.
Could be a big deal for us if he's going to come into the team and do well, a class CB is a big piece of the puzzle. Not counting my chickens by any means but it'd be a great positive story for us (to make a change) if he could come into the side after a massively long absence and help us get promoted. It's easy to believe he has got quality if he can put an eye catching performance in after not playing for ages and being as rusty as it's possible for a player to be.
Not sure if this is in the match thread but he gave a post match interview.... He was excellent today, all things considered with his injury. To get through a full 90 +8 was unbelievable really.
Nice touch at the end mentioning Wyke! First interview I have seen of him, if he can continue to do aswell as everyone has said today (missed the match with family things going on) then he will be one of those players people take to easily!
Just watched the video with team clapping fans. A little lad in the crowd has his new favourite player after being given Arbys shirt. He is ecstatic jumping up and down, another nice touch!
Touch of class from Arby. The pure excitement displayed by the kid sums up all our fellings towards the club
Thought Arby and Bailey looked a good pairing they talked all game and marshalled the other lads well,Cirken looked more comfortable today as well let’s hope this is the start of something
