They did manage to sell youth product Romain Esse two seasons ago for £13 million and they re-invested that with a load of youngish players with potential, including Tangangs on a free who they managed to sell for £8 million last season which they re-invested in a lot of younger players with potential.
It’s what we’re trying to do but we’re a couple of seasons behind them (if it comes off obviously).
They have been very canny in the transfer market admittedly.
Pretty sure it was the failure to give him a free kick at the end just outside the penalty area when the Hull player just seemed to take him out from the back when he was driving forward in a good position to take a shot or pass into the box. It looked a pretty nailed-on free kick and booking but nothing.
We’ve had quite a few of these against us over the last couple of seasons, where it seemingly comes out of nowhere. So lovely to see one chalked up in our favour.
What I like about him is he is quite tall and physically sturdy so he provides a change from our small and slight wide men. A different challenge for the other team’s defence to manage. He’s also not afraid to make a pass or take a shot. He’s also good at finding the right place on the pitch to be and finding pockets of space which you can’t really teach. Like most younger players he needs to improve his decision-making and also sometimes play the ball a bit quicker but he’s shown enough to not look out of place in the first team squad.
I agree and with the Burrell situation as a warning. He looked absolutely knackered but worked so hard both with and without the ball and I think it’s probably a knock AND being exhausted.
Do we always have to be fair. FFS we spend enough time being borderline suicidal. Can’t we just enjoy the win and think we played well for at least five minutes before the Derek-downers start up.
We only scored three goals away from home against a team they’ve been claiming as decent chance for promotion. Nothing to see here really….
He was shocking. It takes quite a lot for our cultured manager and creative midfielder to get riled and both of them had a go at the ref at full time for not giving Madsen a free kick at the end when a player came in at him from behind when just outside the pen at the end of the match.
Yes someone was talking about this (can’t remember if it was a manager or a newspaper article). It’s actually likely to cause more injuries as like you say teams tend to bring on fresh forwards or midfielders and the poor defenders are having to deal with them when they’re already tiring.
Yeah I did that Plymouth-Hull one. It IS pretty knackering even if you’re not actually playing. Do think it’s a disadvantage if you have that more often than other teams across the season.
But is a nightmare for the fans too.
ETA according to the thread on it, it’s Derby and Bristol City that have six double away games in the three game weeks. Other teams only have three of them (courtesy of Stowmarket).
I think one issue was he’d only sign for short extensions on his contract. So if you are paying someone for eighteen months you don’t want to invest six months of that with them on loan.
I think he wasn’t really ever willing to commit to us so it was a good deal to sell him.
