Remember a time when we had De Vos, Unsworth, Naylor, Magilton, and Kuqi in the same XI. Monsters. | |

Nope. I've said often that we can have Doz or Bishop, but not both.
For me, I'd rather keep Bish. |  |

Best thing to do, is to keep insulting and abusing our most talented players. Certain to improve matters. |  | | |

Downes is the only one I'd keep out of all our central midfield options. | |

Agree that we should have a Downes or Skuse in there for balance, but I actually don’t think they were bullied out of it today at all. If anything we lost because we started smashing it over their heads repeatedly in the second half for no apparent reason.
No offence intended but it’s such a classic English football fan thing to say we lost because we weren’t aggressive enough. Actually we lost because we didn’t play football well enough. |  |

Nobody has given that as the reason to why we lost. | |

I'd rather have talented and lightweight players than technically limited 'ard lads. I swear there are some football fans who'd rather have Cattermole and Scott Brown than David Silva and Xavi. I want entertaining players because at the end of the day entertainment is all that really matters. [Post edited 20 Mar 2021 17:02]

i'd definitely keep doz & bish too if we could, but they need to be played alongside more of an enforcer.
2 downes would be a return to the skuse/douglas era | |

Me because Dozzell and Bishop are technically talented footballers. | |

Agree both have the talent but also need to step up responsibility. As Cook has mentioned a few times ... they need to live and breathe football. | |

remember when hurst didn't pick him the board was in uproar. his dad wasn't happy and not shy in letting everyone know it. none of the midfield have any energy. arrive to late to help out the forwards and just arrive in the 18 yard box as the opponents score,.
if you want someone to patrol the centre circle those 2 are your men |  |

I'm putting sentiment aside. Dozzell doesn't influence games enough for me and Bishop had a terrific impact in 2014/15, but injuries have really hampered him. I've said this before, but I'm not sure what our midfield offers? They don't create, tackle, dominant the opponents and rarely get beyond the striker to score goals. We've got a lot of sentiment with a lot of those players in midfield because they are youth products, but sadly they just don't deliver consistently enough. They are still players with potential, but the problem is they aren't young players any more they are men, but don't play like it. | |
