That's great from a personal character perspective but what we need in the team is a footballer who is up to his job. This is the problem - we're conditioned to accept mediocrity, and fans go along with it, almost defending the indefensible. Just because he's a good character around the group doesn't give him the right to line up in midfield. If this was the case Stan Boardman would have replaced Carlton Palmer in midfield in the league cup final. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bully, Big Dave, Joey, Reach, Palmer, Foxy, Dawson etc. The club is littered with triers who aren't good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this stat is correct that’s absolutely pathetic for a holding midfielder. I’ve said it time and time again, he’s a dreadful player and shouldn’t be anywhere near our starting 11. That’s why Monks out his depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a sad indictment of our nonsense recruitment policy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet We also desperately needed an attack. We got one. I suspect that we would have brought in a def mid if Fletcher hadn't got injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry Dad. I just think he's average but tries hard. Nothing personal against him. He can't be doing that well, as we've been pretty diabolical overall.

One of the lowest paid players, clearly not good enough player , but who tries gets slaughtered. While well paid players , who should be good enough and who don't get near their potential get a free pass. It's the way of things I suppose. Nothing changes True. A 400k gamble and that is about his worth. My frustration is that we have a better player in Hutchinson sat in the stands and that we have known that we needed better than Pelupessy for 3 years and haven't done anything to address this.

That's great from a personal character perspective but what we need in the team is a footballer who is up to his job. I agree. I think he gets picked though because he's never injured. If the others were as fit as he was and didn't break down as much I doubt he'd be getting picked. I'd go as far as to say we need eleven if we're to be anything other than the mid table team we are.

There is a dearth of quality non nonsense defenders in modern football across many leagues but that statement about viewing hundreds before landing on the one we chose was unreal.
