Yet the likes of Morsey whos club didnt want to sell and was one of their best players we loan out… cant see the logic in bringing in the likes of McDonald from what ive seen of him so far.
Donny how inconsiderate of you .. Trying to put Jim out of a job ? Surely that’s why the window was invented in the first place ?
Massive step up? not one team we have played so far have impressed me. we could have won all but for our own doing. playing power at right wing back when he is the give and go man in our midfield is scandalous. Powell has done absolutely nothing at all so far, still looks like a spoilt kid. As for the stupidness of playing it out from the keeper short at every given opportunity when attackers are hurtling towards you, thats just stupid beyond belief. We have a good squad easy enough to compete at this level but stupid tactics and some questionable signings are getting us into unneccesary trouble even at this early stage of the season.
He could look to play powell further up top, with grigg, then gomez attacking midfielder to support them. Drop perkins. We would then have power as defensive midfielder and Jordi as attacking midfielder, where as at the moment, perkins and power play too similar a game.
He hasn’t been brought in to sit on the bench, the key question is who is going to make way for MacDonald?
My guess would be perkins.[/quote]
Perkins natural successor would have been Morsey but if the rumours are true about him leaving then yeh I would agree he could replace perks.
Is any of this doom and gloom really neccessary? This time last year we had just lost 2-0 at Coventry and looked what happened after that.We have scored on the opening day, so that must be a positive, c’mon.
But Horc, We only 45 games left to save our season :(
“Wigan were content to defend their lead and paid the penalty for allowing City to dominate possession in the second half”
As for Pierce, in my opinion the club couldn’t win in this situation – he had an offer from a club down south where he is from, he expressed a wish to go (by the way didn’t go on strike, kick up a stink etc, just got on with his job) and he only had 12 months left on his contract. yes we could have made him stay, but then we could have had an unhappy player and also lost him for nothing. The fact he moved to a club a division lower shows it had nothing to do with ambition or money, purely to be closer to his family, after all footballers are human beings like us. Good Luck to him I say.
I know it just questions why. Surely in this scenario however good or bad he is even Billy would be better than no striker or a makeshift striker.
Is Will injured or off to Hull?
Who knows these days. What is stated by clubs is often much different than reality and if the offer is over a million we will be listening. Others sniffing around players can often turn their heads and this is when these sudden injuries develop. Agents offering silly money can also get to players too.
Jason Pearce was far from our greatest ever defender so what really happened there? Clubs will feed us fans any shite.We’ve never been a club that have had an abundance of strikers, plenty of midfielders but never strikers. Good strikers these days are as rare as rockin horse crap, hence expansive, hence why we in effect only really have Grigg. Weve always seemed to take a punt on relatively unknowns and hoped for the best, some have been expensive flops, some have just .. well picked up their wages and either benched or sent out on loan. it worries me that we only have grigg, and hes untested at this level, let alone be sold to the likes of hull, in effect 2 steps up. The club aren’t stupid, Caldwell knows far more than we ever do/will, so we just need to trust his decision making .. he hasn’t done much wrong so far has he ..
