Guest DSC_UK Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Nolan? Hope so Do we still need defenders? I know we need cover on the left but can't Buxton do a job there if pushed? Surley there are much bigger gaps in the side such as strikers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surley there are much bigger gaps in the side such as strikers? I think Nolan would add real depth to the defence. An injury to Spurr/Buxton and we'd be severely short on numbers. Hinds shouldnt be used at full back and should be the central defender covering. We need to double up in each position. Two right backs (New lad/Buxton) Two left backs (Nolan/Spurr). Obviously Buxton and Nolan can play on either side and both are capable centrally. Adding that further defender will give us real depth in defence.

Guest Manwithastick Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 owlstalk has gone (even more) bipolar. I know we are now 3rd tier and we can't attract Rooney and Lampard, but flip me, we sign a journeyman winger and a truly dogshit defender and everyone's so overjoyed they've started a circle-jerk. chuck the least inspiring striker we could imagine into the mix and i'm glad i at least know just how depressed i am about it all still.

What people don't seem to get is that if two defenders get injured at the same time, then we would be really short on cover. Yes, Buxton can cover left back if Spurrs out, but not if Otsemebor is also out - can't play left back and right back at the same time. Hinds can then play right back, but then we would have no defenders on the bench. Nolan would fit the bill perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Deleted member Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 (edited) Cheer up Jim. Abandon all hope and embrace our shitness and you will be happier in life. Worse things could happen... In all seriousness - if we can all stop pinning our hopes on a premiership return that isn't going to happen in the foreseeable future, embrace the fact that we are destined for more of the same crap whilever the club remains under the control of the 3 stooges - and look forward to matchdays for the companionship of likeminded individuals - people who can laugh at our problems rather than get heated about them and enjoy a pint pre and post match - we will all enjoy our football far more. Apathy - its really the way forward... Edited June 9, 2010 by Deleted member Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nile Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 i'll be delighted if we sign nolan. nolan beevers purse spurr with otsomebor, buxton and hinds as cover, would be a very strong defence in league 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris E Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 (edited) It'll be a surprise to Jose, cos i've just made the bugger up, like everything else on here. I'm guessing this thread is on the basis of BBC Radio Sheffield's Rob Staton saying on Facebook that another is on the way today...

I wouldn't descrive Sedgewick as a "Journeyman" - he's played a lot in the Championship for Preston and has only had two clubs. Agree with Otsemobor though - he is garbage.

Agree with Otsemobor though - he is garbage. I might be wrong mate but I thought Journeyman meant someone who is alright but just never achieves anything special. Richard Hinds is a journeyman for example. Technically decent enough at football but will never excel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps the new stadium design could incorporate The Divine Comedy. 'Abandon all hope ye who enter here' written just above the entrance to all stands.

Somebody who hasn't played for a lot of clubs and have achieved nothing, are known as 'crap'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Hinds is a journeyman for example. Technically decent enough at football but will never excel. I think there are two possible definitions - the one that you outline above, and one that states a Journeyman is someone who undertakes very short periods of work for various different employers. Certainly, that is how I see it applied to Footballers eg Steve Claridge - they ultimate Journeyman having played for about 90* different clubs. * slight exageration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DSC_UK Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Don't get me wrong I think Nolan will be a great signing but I'm sure the real need for strikers would be a priority especially as a good signing there could boost season ticket sales.

Ronnie Starling Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 James and the marketing department missed a trick here. We could have had something on the lines of an advent calender where you open a window to reveal the latest signing. Although there are always those pesky kids that have to open all of the windows before the actual day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furious George Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 I stopped reading after the opening part: "The examples and perspective in this article deal primarily with the United States and do not represent a worldwide view of the subject."
