The number of games, size of squads, consistent quality of opposition teams. These are major factors in this division. It's not like the Premier League where teams can rotate players like they're on the waltzer at the fairground — Nkuku, for example, has only played in Chelsea's European games in case he gets hurt. It takes a different kind of "good" to play in our league. Stamina, versatility, resiliance, as well as ability.
He's slower than a wet week in Widnes, but I reckon Madsen can put the ball on a sixpence from anywhere on the pitch. That, alone, is a skill worth a place in the team.
Thing is Smyth works down the right. But Saito and Chair produce from the left. Based on what we've seen so far Saito is much weaker on the right side, and I can't recall ever having noticed Ilias doing much over there either. I'd have him play deeper and more central, that way we might be able play all three of them.
I don't think Springsteen's The Rising has been included yet.
Conceived and written in the immediate aftermath of 9/11 it's emotional charge never wanes. Presented as the fever dream/nightmare of a first responder, the chorus is, paradoxically, almost like a Pentecostal service. It shouldn't work but it does.
"Faces gone, black eyes burnin' bright" gets to me every time...
I missed yesterday's match (4:00am k.o. here, plus overnight visitors.) I caught DAzN's 10 minute highlight package later though. Interestingly seven minutes was all QPR's attacking goalmouth action and about 3 minutes Watford's. Based on comments here that would seem to be an accurate proportion, yes?
Nardi aside, he's surely our most consistent pre-season signing. Game in and game out, whoever the opponent, whatever the weather, or the angst surrounding our club he delivers, usually with a smile on his face. Sure, he's "what it says on the packet" type of winger. Take it to the goal line, trick your way past two or three defenders (that's the hard bit) and cross into the box where, ideally, a couple of strikers will be licking their lips. Unfortunately he can't do too much about the last bit at the moment. Maybe when Frey gets back his build up will show more results.
He's an oddity. When he does something (rarely) it's often impressive. His crossfield passing ability is very good, just (cough) infrequent. I don't think he "hides," as many on here do. He wouldn't have stepped up and nailed the penalty goal he scored if he did. Mainly he's immobile and doesn't seem to know where he's supposed to be at any given moment. And when he does it takes him a leap year to get there.
