Bit like Wilder is potentially just a ShitWarnock. 1 I like the notion that everyone has a shitversion of themselves!! of course, some are that version. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another incredible waste of money. It is if your not going to play him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronnie Starling Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 11 hours ago, toppOwl said: We signed Boyd at a time when we were crying out for a pacy wide player, even Boyd himself admits that lack of pace is his weak point, we probably assessed 199 other before deciding on him. There was one obvious player we could have gone for instead which was Ben Marshall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adelphi1867 Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 (edited) Dem Blunts sign Oliver Norwood and posters on here are stating he is a great signing because he has won promotion twice from this league. How many promotions has Boyd won from this division, or Jones, Hooper, FF?. With Boyd's fitness and engine, maybe he could do the attacking, box to box player thingy?.

DIPPS_S.W.F.C Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Boyd,Fletch, Jones and Abdi all very strange not needed signings spoilt the flow of the playoff final team,just needed a bit of pace and a powerful engine in middle with lee and Bannan..job done..uto ftb..

Buxtongent Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 i certainly think he could, but isn't he injured, or has he got over that. My thought , dare I say it, is how do we get he best out of Bannan? Don't get me wrong, I'm a Bannan fan, his energy level is unique, but a lot of his running is for nothing, and it seems that no-one has yet decided is the question is he an attacking or defending midfielder. He plays his soul out wherever, but, when he turns defensive, he leaves a gap which is invariably filled with attackers. This has the effect of throttling any attack threat. When, as in the second half on Sat, he went into attacking mode he , and we, became a threat. He must however practice shots from outside the area.

So is Abdi. Ditto Rhodes. It's us, or rather it was Carlos. It's not all about injury. We saw it at Swansea in the latter stages of his tenure there.

vulva Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 SWFC is a graveyard for player careers, and one of the reasons why we never make a profit on players. Off the top of my head, of all the players we’ve brought in during the last 3 years, I can’t think of any that have improved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha ha think you’re missing the point mate i just think that Sean Dyche albeit I don’t really like him has a knack in the main of getting the best out of his players I could never say that about Carlos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2 main issues we’ve had since DC came in have been recruitment and sales. United have sold Brooks, and brought in Egan, McGoldrick, Woodburn, Henderson and Norwood. And money in the bank. They are far stronger as a result. I’d do exactly the same with FF. But for some odd reason neither DC or the fans want to consider it. Some very odd emotional attachment to what is in effect an asset that is depreciating in value every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to get those players in there best roles. That's the jigsaw that needs putting together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
