A lot of our players are...... 13:05 - Oct 24 with 16927 viewsBloots

....crap.

Lets face it.

How many of them actually have any real "quality"?

Bart is a marginally above average Championship keeper, despite what his fanboys say.

Chambo, Smith and Knudsen show a huge amount of commitment, but lets face it, they are hardly gifted players.

Spence has been average, but he was terrible on Sunday.

Iorfa is an athlete not a footballer.

Kenlock can't defend, which is a problem for a defender.

Skuse, past it.

Waghorn and Garner, nothing more than adequate Championship forwards that will never be good enough to play at a higher level.

McGoldrick flatters to deceive and there is absolutely no end product to all of his "flair"

Sears, hopeless.

Celina (not ours), Nydam, Downes and Webster may come good, but they need some time. Although Webster isn't living up to his billing at present.

Pay peanuts, get monkeys.

Simple.

We have a lot of average Championship players. Which still seems to surprise an extraordinary number of people.

Uh oh. Blootsy's turning. You'll be signing off posts MICK OUT!! before long.

You're not wrong though. We certainly lack cultured and quality players - Didz probably the only one, although he can flatters to deceive.

Seems a bit unfair on the front 3. They all have good goal records at this level & so far this season. Webster and Ward are good footballers but very up and down which is a worry for us considering they are 2 of the most expensive players we have bought in the last 5 years. No argument on the rest.

In the spirit of reconciliation and happiness at the end of the Banter Era (RIP) and as a result of promotion I have cleared out my ignore list. Look forwards to reading your posts!

Ergo, Evans out.

In all seriousness, the club needs a new owner AND manager - it needs a duo with the desire to implement a philosophy from top to bottom in the same way Burley & Sheepy did all those years ago.

....a younger one, with new ideas or a foreign one with a new mentality.

But let's face it, the players get away with murder at Ipswich and any new manager would probably realise that the vast majority are hopeless and then what would happen?

He won't be getting any new ones.

They'd just get told to play in a different way, which would be impossible for them, because they are so utterly crap.

They currently play dull, average, agricultural football because that's all they are capable of.

Losers.

...and hopeless at worst.

I forgot about Ward.

If ever there is a description of an average footballer, then it's him. Dull. Crap.

Thanks for reminding me.

Thank the lord for iFollow. Now everyone can see in amazing low-res, pixelated quality how terrible we are. "Is it Pacman we are watching?" No, it's Sears running the ball out of play. Again.

The vast majority of players on the pitch looked very average on Saturday. Hardly surprising, when we're both fairly average teams.

Have to admit, I've wanted to see the best in Grant Ward for so many months, but I still don't know what position is his - never has a player promised so much on debut but failed to deliver (Finidi excepted).

....Maddison was the only player with any real ability, QED.

And they paid about £3M for him.

It's a Mick McCarthy squad, of players that are good blokes and help have a good team spirit, but are limited footballers technically who will work their nuts off.

Pep Guardiola isn't going to come in and have us playing like Barcelona, it would take a while to sort the squad out to do that (3-4 windows). Because of our clubs structure, i.e. no Director Of Football setting styles and employing those below to implement, we are going to be stuck like this for a while.

It's be much easier if Mick just pulled his finger out and turned it round....!

The second half was total rubbish.

Reverted to type with long balls to the right wing as if Steve Whitton was playing out there.

They have 14 goals between them after 1/4 of the season (in turkey shoots against rubbish teams, I know I know). Our forward line is one of the few decent things about this club right now, dont rob me of my delusion.

McGoldrick has been exceptionally good this season.

Odd, because his contract is up in the Summer.
