It’s just jealousy that stops Danny from playing him. Which is fair enough IMO. Explains why Byers was moved on too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is only room for one beautiful mane of luxurious hair at SWFC and that’s Danny’s. It’s no coincidence that Bannan is club captain… 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloke asked a question and I gave him what I think is the answer .....I might be wrong and theres other reasons the manager doesnt pick him but I dont have clue what they could be so couldn't answer any other way . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emerson Thome Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 3 hours ago, paulrs said: People saying he was bang average in league one have some kind of memory impairment. James was very good last season. And I’m sure the player ratings on here would back that up. The period where him and Palmer played either side of McGuinness was our best period in several years, we looked excellent for a couple of months and he was consistently impressive. I’m not going to guess what was going on in Xisco’s head when he played everyone bar James at left back… but from DR’s point of view I can only think he likes physicality in his full backs… whether it’s the pace of Valentin & Johnson or the strength of Iorfa & Famewo. I suppose James is neither one or the other and that seems to be counting against him. Yes, he was up near the top last season: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WimJunk Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Röhl isn't going to pick him, based on what he did in league one. He's going to pick him on what he sees in training now. Which none of us see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1952Owl Posted March 18 Author Share Posted March 18 Someone mentioned Pedersen!! Danny made a massive mistake playing an unfit player at Huddersfield when we got spanked. Then Pedersen is suddenly injured. Em? Was this another panic loan at the death because of the past connection he has with Danny's number 2? The jury is out on Pedersen. Case 2b proven as to his value? My gutt feel is James better. OR as has been said..... Palmer can slot in on left defence or in midfield with Vaulks.

TomtheOwl95 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 I think this is a bit of a case of the player who isn't in the team being raised to a level that he isn't because we haven't won the last two games. I like Reece James, he'll always have a place in Wednesday fans hearts for last season and his part in the miracle. But he's not a Championship footballer. He's never held down a regular place in a Championship team. There will be a reason why Danny isn't picking him. We as fans can talk about last season (where 99% of the time we played a 352 where James mostly played in a back 3), but that means nothing to Danny. It's similar to Palmer, he wasn't in the team before, everyone was talking about last season and how good Liam was but Danny had to judge him based on what he saw. Credit to Liam, he got back to full fitness and found his way back into the team. I accept Marvin Johnson isn't really a left back, but I can see a reason why he'd play there ahead of James. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmowl Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 (edited) Why would Danny drop or move Johnson? He’s been outstanding. The argument in this thread seems to be that Johnson was poor to meh against Leeds and Ipswich…..find me a player who wasn’t out of his depth in those two matches.Better players and better teams. Thank Christ we’ve got him. 3 goals and 4 assists, from a defender! That’s absolute gold-dust in a team where even our forwards struggle to contribute, and our middle and defence don’t score at all. As for moving Marv further forward yes there’s some merit in that, but only because Gassy and Muzzy are so flippin’ frustrating - one game Ronaldo, next game Ronald McDonald. But I think Marv is a better player running forward with the ball rather than receiving the ball high up and marked. But it doesn’t matter what I think, what matters is that at LB/LWB Marv works. And in this team, in this season, if you find something that works, leave it the hell alone. I like James, and if needed he’d do fine. Oddly for a shorter lad he was better at LCB than LB. But I have no doubt he’d be absolutely solid and do a job. Pederson is an odd one. Fair pedigree but dire recent injury record, then thrown in without prep. I’m filing that in the “Danny is young” pile. Edited March 19 by Holmowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beauchief Owl Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Well signing RJ appears to have been yet another load of cash just wasted, hope he's on a one year contract. If he's never going to be used what is the point in having him on the bench? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1952Owl Posted March 19 Author Share Posted March 19 (edited) The List of weak non starters or subs we have is really poor, if we are honest Fletcher Wilks Gregory apparently Smith arguably Hendricks Reece James according to Danny Bambo maybe? + Delgado long term injury + Windass & Pato been out long term ^^^^^ THAT'S 10 PLAYERS ABOVE!!!!!!

Otherwise I’d agree Johnson over James, just not if you’re playing that system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WimJunk Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 The football league is full of players who look reasonable enough, but who never seem first pick anywhere. Look at Jordan Thorniley. Went to Blackpool and now out of the picture at Oxford. There doesn't seem to be a deal wrong with him, to the untrained eye. Maybe managers see things we don't, as they all can't be wrong on players like Reece James. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
