Gooch really makes me scratch my head. As you say, there is a cracking player in there, but there is a lemon too. I don't know if he is a lemon who sometimes plays out of his skin or a polished player who gets a build up of crud and has an off game. His goal against Tranmere was top drawer. I've seen many top flight players bottle chances like that but Gooch showed world class composure. For sure, LeJo needs to have a sit down with him and thrash out what the problem is. Soon. Otherwise Gooch might find himself moved on over the summer.
Judgemental about other posters I mean, giving verdicts on the team is half the point of the forum. I would have thought that was obvious. There's a holier than thou attitude creeping in. I don't know what people get out of it at a time that we're all enjoying the ride.
"we're all enjoying the ride." Well most of us are, Nacho Some pretend to be 'with us' . . . . like a wolf in sheep's clothing, perhaps
That’s a great post. It’s so true on Gooch. We’ve seen him not far short right a t the top, and now we see him labouring, as you say through no lack of effort. Enigmatic is the word. We need see a bit more but I wouldn’t write him off by a long shot. Sidenote, isn’t the whole point of a forum to be judgmental on shared views? kind of falls down if you aren’t.
Pointing out that people are being judgemental is in itself judgemental? Interesting viewpoint I suppose.
"There's a holier than thou attitude creeping in." I'm suggesting you're not immune from that at times.
If you say so. I'm certainly not the type to endlessly rub people's mistakes in their faces, we all make them after all.
I'd agree with that, I've not seen anyone credible do it either tbf. Wolfy does it but he totally contradicts himself a week later and criticises people for what he'd said himself
What comments? This one, "Jones is so good he put the ref on his arse." Or this one, " The commentator just said 'Jones was in the right place at the right time' ... ... FFS man, he ran 40 bloody yards on a total off chance." Or perhaps this, "I would've been on my arse against McGeady ... ... against him and Jones I'd have been holding my hamstring and rolling my hands at the manager." Yes I'm absolutely gutted
Was brilliant for the goal. I would of put this on the match thread but have been banned from posting on it for daring to offer an opinion that we have been pretty poor that half Pathetic
Banned for relentless whinging and derailing the thread I'd guess. We all have different opinions, just state yours and stop having a go at other people's ffs.
