HOOTIE AND THE SHIT TU Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 3 minutes ago, fingyfop said: Hunt is a pretty decent right back, does so much work up and down the line too, often gives us a man over in attack, final ball can be lacking but he's improved on that in the past season or so, good cross for the first today. Hunt is some athlete, I'll give him that, but he must improve his crossing That's the second time this season we've scored off one of his crosses, the other was Winnall's diving header in front of the kop For a player to get in good positions so many times, but have a very low cross completion ratio is not good enough He got in a great position in our last game, but chose to shoot when Clare was stood unmarked a couple of yards away If he could find that killer ball more often he'd be some player Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife.

We have been painful to watch for the majority of this season, least not in defence. We have been suspect all season, especially during the absence of Tom Lees. When we signed Tom Lees we were much a side as we are now. In his first three seasons at the club we equalled the clean sheet record every season, a great achievement in the side under Gray. So whilst we all, and rightly so, take delight in Hutchinson returning, remember we have now taken four points from 6 since our captain Tom Lees has returned. As in character he's snuck quietly back in to his role as our backbone and because of that we now have a backbone. Well played Tom Lees. I will be having a pint for you tonight. A performing Tom Lees is a massive plus for us and is one of the best defenders in this league when on form. Along with Westwood, Bannan and Lee he is easily one of our best transfers of the past decade. Although in the aid of balance it should be pointed out that Tom did come back against Ipswich (albeit not as captain) and in those 3 matches we've conceded in the last 10 minutes in all of those 3 games (2 being headers less than 8 yards out) losing 3 points and that could have been a further 2 today had it not been for Messi on stilts; so there is plenty of room for improvement. This international break comes at a great time for everyone at the club, I expect us to be performing much better at the back once Jos has had decent time on the training ground.

Morepork Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Definitely good to see him back. Obviously, there are numerous things we need to improve next season but a priority for me is reducing the number of scoring opportunities we afford the opposition. This has been an issue for several seasons and the fact that we got away with it in CC's first two seasons in charge is partly why we are where we are now. We've defended well or bravely at times in that period but even when we've recorded clean sheets we always afford the opposition too many chances. Hopefully it's something we can address as players return and JL gets more time to make a mark. PS. I was always happy winning games 1-0.......

Fernando is the obvious player that could attract interest although given his injury and lack of games this season it may be limited, the one to watch in the summer is Hooper, one year left on his deal and at his age he could fancy one more crack at the prem. I can see a team in the bottom echelons of the prem taking a punt on him and I wouldn't blame him for wanting a last decent move. If Hooper had've remained injury free he'd have already been a Premier League player, the guy is pure quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me Joey has a good shot but he's very poor on the ball when pressured, I'd rather keep Hunt there, hopeful Reach can play LWB now too though.

oldishowl Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 These players like Lees coming back from injury might well turn in performances better than we have seen from them for a while . Several , including Lees, were playing with injuries before so if they are now 100% fit we might see them doing better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All three here before the Carlos era. It begs the question if SG had been allowed to carry on in his job and got to spend that 30 million plus, would we be in the PL now? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s why I think he would be better wider you have the touch line one side so everything is in front of you , Kieron Lee is also Taylor made for the position Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly think he will bring best out of van aken IMO that;s the only aspect to his game he lacks. In no way is he a leader, just a brilliant defender. He hasn't got the necessary personality to be a true leader. Reach is a much better shout in this regard and Hutch even more so if he wasn't so injury prone.

Almat Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 (edited) Us smashing through FFP is an absolute 100% given. Only way out is to sell the valuable players we have who cost us nowt - Lees, Bannan etc. Edited March 17, 2018 by Almat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
