He also put one on a plate for Keshi at Huddersfield.
Laid the opener on a plate at Hartlepool too after a typical Joshy run. Needs to stay here. Big time.
Who is more skillful on the ball than Josh? (Genuine question).
And I've never said anything different to that.
You're obviously not counting the 'assists' that our strikers have failed to put into the net. Or the space that his runs make for other players - he regularly has 2 players assigned to marking him and often 3.
That's what opinions are about Wiz but I'd much sooner defend on a one to one against Keshi (a great player) than Josh.
I would argue he is succeeding though especially in the past few games. He no doubts dipped mid-season but made a brilliant start to the season, opening day assist, good in Cup games, did well v Coventry, great v Fulham etc.
Well put.
Again I would agree with most of that so perhaps I'm just venting my frustration on him following my trip to Hartlepool where he ran out of steam (along with the rest of the team admittedly) after about 20mins.
Brett, I suggest you re-read my comments on this thread. They are certainly not anti-Josh.
Different styles, Josh is more skilful and CJ is more explosive. However, in their position, the same end result is required or it’s all pointless. I think we all agree that both have areas to improve, but they are our players and we support them.
Brereton-Diaz is some player. Perhaps we need to send scouts to Chile!
In fairness Insider, your wording did read like it contained a clear inference!

To be fair, it's true.
... or save ourselves the air-fare and nip down to Stoke where he was born.
As i've said before on here, it's not just about this thread. It doesn't take a lot to go back and see a good number of posts with your anti Josh stance. And of course no coincidence that you start a thread jumping to the defence of CJ whilst the topic of Bowler is very current. So who in your opinion is the better player, who is more valuable as an asset and to the team?
It’s complete coincidence and generated by the attack on CJ.
As I understand it, the second half of the season we play the same teams as we played in the first half. Why is it harder?
I'd suggest the second half of our PL season was harder than the first. Teams got to know us and how we play. The same could apply to this season although I really don't think we've too much to worry about.
so it's not a complete coincidence then! It's you making the comparisons, it's you who brought that into the debate.. What goes on in my head is looking back at your previous posts and your constant negativity over a period of time aimed at Bowler. Your negativity to a player like Bowler is ill founded. I look at this thread, who else is a critical of Bowler as you or Insy?
I'm a bit worried. I can't see us going down but I can see us struggling, as things stand. Without Wintle and Anderson I can see us having much less control in midfield and considerably less threat going forward. Wintle was the calm and Keshi is the inspiration, and he's a warrior, he leads us into battle, sort of. We've lost Carey for a good while too, he was an increasingly useful option.
He comes from Stoke
Yes I believe so, as Ollygone's pointed it out to me. It's my fault for not researching - whoops!
How much more clearly can I say it, my thread on CJ was not prompted by the thread on Josh.
Rovers signed Brereton from Forest and paid about 7 million. And I think Forest have a sell on clause too.
some pretty harsh criticism on this thread of him methinks. That said I acknowledge you said a minimum of 2 mill a a valuation whereas Insy is letting him go for 500k, So well done on that. Again, you might want to say it's sad of me to go back to threads. To me, it just confirms what I already knew. That you've been a long time critic of Bowler. As for the Ferguson debate, well you were wrong on that as well.
Well, you’ve certainly confirmed you’re sad and selective.
where you are being negative on this thread. You being serious? Read some of your quotes that i've posted in my last post. You brought the question of stats up to back up your view. Stats which you use to be negative against him. Because you certainly weren't using them to be positive or even neutral about him were you? Jeez.
said it somewhere else that Jed Wallace is a bloody good player who also has goals in his locker too.
I am deadly serious, there is nothing negative, unless you mistakenly count my reference to areas for improvement, referenced and addressed by Critch.
The fact you feel the need to post his stats is nothing but designed to be a negative. Why even bring them up if you weren't intending to be negative about him?
I'm still not over that freekick earlier this season, he was their only real threat that day.
thanks for reminding me!
Well I’ve tried and failed twice to generate some humour and harmony with you on this. You’re just an argumentative person who has a need to be right, and an absolute belief that you are. Try to grasp the point of a football forum, and that whatever our opinions, our players & club matter more than being right.
I'd say Tom Ince wasn't far off with ball control but I can't think of many natural dribblers that we've had in the last few decades at least. Dribbling has been a bit of a dying art so it's been great to see Bowler run at players and make his own space rather than passing sideways or back to find some space.
I've debated the points with you and had the respect for you not to throw out any negative personal remarks.
…and GTF, fantastic feet in tight spaces.
yep, tbh, I'd unkindly forgotten about Ince. He indeed was a talented player with the ball at his feet running at players.
you’ve spent 2 days accusing me of being negative. That’s not a debate.
