For new signings, ask the man from the Pru

[boltonboris]

Spearing, Davies and Pratley (if he books his feckin' ideas up and stops those stupid headlocks) shoulr be more than enough for anyone else in this division

I'd even be tempted to play Derik in front of the back 4 for a bit of aggression and mobility and play him with Spearing and Sparky

Shame we're going to be getting rid of Darren then !

Hard to tell individuals in friendlies, especially new signings. Need time to bed in. I went to the friendly that SKD and Bridges made their debuts in. Thought Bridges looked a prospect but that Davies was a useless clogger who would never make it.

Woolery came on at Mansfield and looked dangerous in that we finally had someone who could get behind their defence. Proctor was so static and slow looking so it made a difference. His final ball wasn't always great but he got a couple in. More of a sprinter than a footballer though, but let's hope he can develop that side of his game. If the coaching is simple and sensible and plays to.his strengths, he could be useful.

Vela is the most overrated player we have I think. He's better than walker, but not a 100 percent tryer. He's a had a few decent games but I can't see him playing regularly above league 1 level because he's no more than average at anything. Spearing should be first midfield pick every time. He had an urgency and presence about him on Saturday that was totally lacking from Vela and the clueless Trotter.

Cheers. Wasn't it Trotter whose press forced the misplaced pass from which Max fed Zach? One swallow and all that, but I hope there's scope for Trotter yet.

At the mo Parky seems to think Derik is a right-back. He seems to want busy shuttlers in central (defensive) midfield.

DSB, hope so too re Trotter, can't remember what happened before Claytons pass. Trotter came back from.Forest much improved but looked at his worst Saturday. Will judge him properly when the season starts but it didn't fill me with optimism. Clayton and Woolery helped us be more direct and incisive with pace and passing respectively.
Trotter had the ball at his feet a number of times and looked slow of feet and thought. Maybe he'll sharpen up!

Wellington has signed for Fluminense, so that's out of the question too

Thank god for that because he was shite!

Of course, you'd rather have a 6' workhorse to shore things up, as opposed to an actual footballer who could and often did, make things happen.

[boltonboris]

If I could be arsed looking back, which I can't, I bet I'd see posts from you saying we should have fvcked Chungy off to sign that Chris Burke because he 'grafts'

Yeah he was ace. He got it, cut inside and hit a shot. Every single time.

Actual footballer my arse. Another from the school of doing a few stepovers and once in blue moon drawing a foul makes you a good player. Where was the substance?

He was shite. If he was even half as good as he thought he was he'd have had championship defenders for breakfast. Instead once they realised he had one move and one move only they had no issue with him.

Feeney offered more in the way of actually creating chances and scoring goals. Feeney.....

Utter bollocks Silva was twice the player Feeney will ever be....just we had a manager who didn't have a clue how to get the best out of him....Silva is another Rodrigo, mark my words someone will pay £10M + in the next few years for Silva, Feeney will be lucky to get anyone to pay a £10.

[officer_dibble]

Neal Eardley is starting tonight. Ex birmingham full back I think.

[officer_dibble]

Frazier Richardson snd Gordon Greer in the squad as well.

Who created more chances and scored more? Both were in a poor team with a poor manager. Can't use that as an excuse. Silva flattered to deceive. Another fancy dam stepovers merchant with no end product.

I'm sick of it. Ultimately what matters is what you create and what you score and as a defender what you stop. Rest is a bit pointless really.

Players that make the odd good run or look 'silky' but have no real end product are useless.

Also the lad is 23. And every summer Arsenal just loan him out. Says a lot.

[Lord Kangana]

Says to me that Feeney was never even considered for Arsenal.

[LeverEnd]

Silva was a disinterested lazy prick. I saw him look a world beater at Hillsborough for 45 mins. Loads of talent no application, typical of what we've had to endure. feck him.

Looking at the video above, Clough has obviously bulked up in close season.

£2m upfront and significant add ons. For one year left on his contract and 30 games under his belt that's not a bad bit of business.

If Parky now has the option of investing some of that in the squad we'll be in decent shape. Eardley/Greer would be good additions

Didn't we say this last year?

I'd only keep Spearing out of those three.

[bobo the clown]

But that's the point.

If we can't shift them, use them. If Parkinson is who we hope he us hell get then organised and get a performance out of them.
