There's nothing that O'Brien has done that Grimes was incapable of, but the difference is that OB isn't psychologically terrified of losing the ball and prepared to take risks with it.
Agreed. If they're not going to be featuring in our first team then they need to be playing proper competitive football somewhere else. Wilson had to go out on loan. Ditto Congreve, Nzingo and Cotterill.
Mooching about in the u21's would have been a waste of their time.
Never quite sure whether Bodde would have kicked on in a higher league or become another Shelvey. Like Jonjo he had no shortage of talent but by all accounts wasn't heavily blessed in the IQ department.
Our coaching staff weren't right about him being a winger, which was the main issue.
He was one of many who Williams clearly didn't have the first idea how to use. Ultimately he may have found his level as a central player, but that still doesn't excuse the negligent insanity of us playing him out wide time and time again.
If anything it actually makes it worse, because we would have been using a player who may not even have been good enough in his chosen position in one that plainly wasn't.
Planning to go hybrid with my next car, but there's no way I'd buy an EV until they can fully recharge in about five minutes, or I have no alternative.
The acting talent in this scene alone. Gene Hackman. Brad Dourif. Michael Rooker. That's without going through the rest of the cast with names like Frances McDormand, Willem Dafoe, Stephen Tobolowsky and R. Lee Ermey. What a film.
Our identity "was" posssession with a purpose. For most of the last four years it has been all about possession for the sake of possession, which the club needs to strongly move away from, not make similar noises about repeating.
"It's somebody who can help us be true to our identity, which I think is so important. I have never come across a club that has such a strong identity in terms of playing style."
This bit concerns me. No more possession for the sake of it merchants please.
Still too early to say with Ginelly. Needs a good spell now with no pressure to regain fitness and confidence.
MpH has tended towards the underrated for me. I'm still fairly confident that he'd look more comfortable inside rather than on the flanks, but he does make things happen.
The price we pay for energy is linked to our desperate drive for Net Zero, which nobody else is bothering with all that much. Subsidies for renewables, restrictions on building new gas plants, and other measures taken by the last Government and doubled down on with idiotic glee by Ed Milliband.
If we want cheap energy then we need to stop pissing money away on windmills and start building SMR's. We need a dependable base load so anything gained from other sources is a bonus.
After us De Guzman played for Napoli, Eintracht Frankfurt and is still playing for Sparta Rotterdam. After us Joe Allen couldn't hack it at Liverpool, played for Stoke, then came back.
JdG was a quality player and a huge part of our success under Laudrup. Perhaps on a par with Michu considering that he contributed for two seasons rather than one. Jenkins/Monk wanting to replace him with Ki instead of doing whatever we could to keep him permanently was a sign that things were about to go wrong.
16 goals in 93 games for the Swans from central, not even attacking midfield, plus probably the same again in direct assists, and still bizarrely disrespected.
