Only remembered he came on when I read someone else's post and made me just wonder if he actually touched the ball on Tuesday? I genuinely don't remember him doing anything?
Great band thoughShows what dire straits we’re in if someone thinks Connolly is the answer.
Great band? Thinks Connolly? Never heard of them. Dire Straits were quite good, terrific guitarist.Great band though
Grimshaw didSomeone must have touched the ball .
What the fuck are you basing that on? Hes a young lad learning and he hasnt even been in the team for 2 months.He does very little. Had his family down my throat once for daring question his commitment. Seems pretty entitled to me.
I agree.Carey is the player suffering most from Critchley I believe - I think he will have a very good career. Be horrible asset management if we lose him and Marv. Get an attacking manager and play a 4-1-3-2 or 4-4-2 and he would shine
I feel a lot of players are unhappy
Glad he didn't touch it as every time he does the move breaks down
Agree fully here.Yes he did. He tried to wriggle through for a shot but got dispossessed on edge of the box so that's at least 1 touch.
srsly tho. I can't actually believe that we're still starting 'sonny isnt up to it' threads when he's played about 10 mins of the last 6 weeks.
I genuinely actually for real not even joking or owt think we're often better with Sonny than without as he runs about (I think that's maybe what others call 'hiding' perhaps???) and is pretty good with the ball.
No he isn't a tough tackler but he constantly moves and takes positions and gives an option. He's often to be found moving off another player or haring into a space.
That fundamental element (a player who makes runs and can take and give the ball in a tight space) isn't sexy or obvious but it makes a team more fluid. It's kind of what Grant Ward did for us.
Don't care if there's only me thinks it. Sonny Carey is far from the key issue. The fact we've actually been *worse* without him kind of paints a picture that he might have some function after all.
Grant Ward got a fair bit of 'but what does he do?' as well. Carey is a player who if we actually had more overall movement and fluidity would make a lot more sense I think. He was amazing second half at Fleetwood which was the one game where we basically chucked caution to the wind and attacked with freedom. He absolutely thrived on the options available and the ability to run into spaces left by the movement of others.
In a static team where basically we hit long balls or Dembele dribbles (and that's basically it) then a player like him isn't going to thrive.
Agree fully here.
Sonny does a hell of a lot of running. It’s more the team ‘tactics/set-up’ that is the problem.
I rate him and if he is used correctly.
The bandwagon of slagging our players off is amazing sometimes.
