Sordell on the bench

[bobo the clown]

Someone who shall not be named said that Sordell was not a starter yesterday because he had been boasting on Twatter that he'd been in that London 3 days this week and had only got 15 hours sleep.

Anyone know any more ?

I'm not sure how he'd get 3 days off during this week to be honest, but if this turns out to be true, this week of all weeks that'd be both amazing and unforgivable.

Whether it's true or not he'd be the first I'd be trying to get rid of. Soft, lazy and shite. Ridiculously crap panic buy by Coyle and an enormous waste of money. Useless again yesterday.

Erudite as always, LE. I don't think that's the opinion Watford fans had of him.

I just checked Twitter and I didn't see any boasting or comments about 15-hours sleep:

Really looking forward to @Hopeforjustice's dinner at the House of Commons this evening #ZoeChallenge

Agreed

Why Freedman took Craig Davies off yesterday and left Sordell on, sub or no, to put Eaves on will remain beyond me forever.

Craig Davies seems to tire in games. To be honest I thought Sordell did ok yesterday. Not sure there was anything to choose between him and Davies.

Then we'll disagree on this, hugely. Sordell was a waste of a shirt yesterday, for me.

On Craig Davies, how come when playing for Barnsley he scored a decent goal against us from 20 odd yards, but since joint us every shot he hits is weak and straight at the keeper (deflection aside)?

I think he's a good option. Battles well, works hard. Not great but what you expect for 300K, but I wish he'd hit his shots a bit more consistently.

Mind I think he's about as good as if not a shade better than 3 fecking million Sordell. Which speaks volumes really.......

Think he's been a waste of a shirt the past few games he's been involved in.

[officer_dibble]

Sordell has been a proper dissapointment. Gdt on the phone to malky mackay...id be happy if we recouped a million.

Oh, what a bad boy.

I don't care what Watford fans thought/think of him. Or Stuart Pearce. I care about the contribution he's made to Bolton Wanderers since we paid a lot of money out for him.
And there hasn't been much of one, unless you can tell me what I've missed and why I'm wrong?
As for erudition, it's a football forum, not a PhD dissertation.

[Tombwfc]

I don't think he was great yesterday, but I do think he's a bit of an easy target. He's only 22.

He's shown enough for me over the season to be worth persevering with. He will score goals somewhere, so it'll be a shame if we're not the ones to get the best out of him.

[Jez]

Sell him off to a london club, where he'll probably be happy and play much better and then make a marquee signing of someone who can bang 20 goals a season in.

A well and, if I may say so, thoroughly argued point.

Well done indeed.

Any views on World Hunger Jez ?

p.s. I didnt mean with the Sordell transfer money, I meant with the tens of millions uncle Eddie has for Dougie's super team

BWFCi's head is about to explode Bruce, please don't take him seriously.

A chance was presented to criticise Coyle, but then you threw a spanner in the works by suggesting the current management structure might be to blame.

Chaos.

So anyway, I think its a bollox rumour, moreover, why we'd bin off a young prospect (and he still is both young and a prospect)so hastily is beyond me.

[SmokinFrazier]

I've been more impressed by Sordell when I've seen him play at international level but his service at Bolton has been very poor. It's hard for a goalscorer to show off his qualities when the service is so bad. Players like N'Gog and Davies are far more visible than a poacher who is looking for a goalscoring chance and is trying to be set up all the time. I think both Coyle and Freedman have failed to get the best out of Sordell which is a shame because I do think he has potential and it wouldn't surprise me if he was the type of player we'd sell and in a couple of years, wonder what impact he'd have had if he was still with us.

I'd give him more time personally, but if the service doesn't improve, he'll continue to look useless.

[Cid's Left Foot]

I think it's incredibly cruel to call C. Davies a waste of a shirt. From where I was watching, he was tireless, last game at least. He scored too.

Eaves came on for him and matched him in the sense that they're both man-mountains, but he certainly could not match his mobility. Having someone that size, and with that will to keep running is surely going to cause any defenders nightmares.

To be honest, saw far less from Sordell. But he's a goalscorer so people say. Who knows. I probably don't.
