He's a top quality Championship player. He and Carlos should sort out their differences. McGugan can be a matchwinner on his day, and he needs help to get his head right, and get back on track. Totally agree with this. Up at Newcastle in the cup last year he was right up against it in the middle and not fully match fit but still ran the game in the middle for some spells of the game and took his goal really well. There's a great player there if we could get him working hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike312 Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Problem is some of our players are inconsistant and along with injuries they don't get a run of games. One week cabbage next week caviar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It normally comes from the people that don't really like/have any interest or any knowledge in football outside of Wednesday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theowlsman Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Can anyone recall that Mark Davies fella we thought about signing from Bolton? Everyone said he'd be a fantastic addition, had Premiership quality. I said he'd be a complete waste of money. I was hammered over it. So many fecking Owls Talk experts on this bloke's quality there were. Anyhow, we never signed him in the end and Bolton got the titty on. What's he doing now? Just been released by Bolton at the age of 29. Should we go back for him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was Rhodes ever going to be the answer to? He was a key part in many of the goals in the run in. He didn't score as many as we thought he might but that doesn't make him a bad player. A lot of pressure was put on Rhodes to be something he isn't, is that what you mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a lot of people saw him as some footballing genius because of his outstanding goal scoring record. He is an old school striker, that picks up bits and pieces in the box, best alongside a big man (as history shows) Good "footballer" - not really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a good pre-season and some confidence I think he'll play this role, maybe fighting for a starting role with Fletch. Like you say I think if we could find the 'genius' midfield general and drop Hutch into ch we might have the missing piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oliver Cromwell Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Rhodes is a striker, give him the chances and he will score. He didn't score as many as we expected last season, but he didn't miss many either. It's a problem of supply not ability Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paying top dollar is a common thing in the world these days for many things and it's surprising how little satisfaction people get from spending it. People buy porches and constantly complain about them as well. Chose your mindset in life. Mines being grateful for what I have. For the record it cost me about 10 plus season tickets to watch Wednesday play this season on tv. I've also flown over many many times to see us lose.
