What did they have on the wings? We needed some positivity on Saturday- Carlos needed some, instead, he played it ridiculously safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYCOWL Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 I don’t have a problem with Jones or Hutch. Just felt like it wasn’t a great pairing when we so desperately needed a win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatter Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 5 hours ago, prowl said: I doubt he's match fit but he should get a decent run out today. I really hope he can show us at least some of his talent today particularly as he's playing attacking midfield rather than on the wing. How do you get 'match fit'? Oh I remember now you have to play in matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue and white Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 I've always said, when fit he is head and shoulders above anything we have in midfield. I'm not going to get carried away but I firmly believe a new manager could do what what Carlos couldn't and that's get the best out of him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SallyCinnamon Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Don't know if he's been unfit this season or Carlos just hasn't favoured him. The best midfield player at the club, just needs to get the chance to prove it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's been no bigger critic of CC than me but to be fair to him Absi had quite a few chances to prove it and didn't step up.....and I'm not buying the 'played out of position' thing either.....it's not like he's a 30 goal a year forward who we played at centre back. i can see why people think he looks good and should be our best player but he does need to show us and he may get a more sustained run in the next few weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now the season is over for us promotion wise, Abdi, Joao, Matias should be given games to show what they can do imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meggoisgod Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 I reserve judgement, his performance at Bolton in the league cup was nothing short of a disgrace I expect him to retire this summer based on that evening alone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it depends how BB will play without shackles though ;) On most days, he's easily one of our best players, on his good days, he's stellar. Him paired with Hutch and Abdi/Lee; no more midfield worries then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
