Watching at Rochdale yesterday, I was getting incredibly frustrated by the lack of involvement Cam was having. I couldn't make my mind up whether it was players not passing to him or he stays too wide and isolated. Whatever the reason we were virtually playing with ten men in the first half. His body language looks all wrong and little or no demanding the ball or challenging for it. Think he's lost his way and I don't think it's anything to do with Leicester. It was only a preseason fixture but all the other players seemed hungry enough.
Not if he is hardly ever involved in the game. He seems to desperately need an injection of self belief and determination. He just waits out wide for the ball to come to him. That is not enough to justify being picked.
Don't know what the key is to Stewart. I just hope Bruce doesn't persevere for too long with him,like Nick did. As Docko says,it's like playing with ten men,when he's like this.
so why do we continually give Stewart the benefit of the doubt, but consign Cullen to the scrap-heap. Maybe Cam needs a loan spell with Bury or Rochdale to get some confidence? I think we need a good competitive Reserve league to help our players through bad spells of form. OK I am bleating again, but another by-product of the opulent arrogant Premiership is the demise of good quality regional Reserve team football. Bring back the Central League, or even the North Midlands and Northern Intermediate Leagues.
Completely agree with that mussy. Not sure but i queried when we were in the prem how players would come straight back in with no reserve games under their belt and was told a lot of prem footballers have it in their contract they dont play reserve games.
Totally agree about the ressies. It used to be anyone not playing on the Satdee played in the ressies but now it's 95% juniors or people coming back from injuries. How do the stand-by players get match fit then? There used to be a sense of honour in doing well in the ressies, I remember son et al).over 5,000 going to watch City stiffs v Man Utd (Bryan Rob
