Darren Pratley

[Verbal]

I actually think I have a better first touch than him.

fecking hell.

[Worthy4England]

You probably have a better second and third touches, can head better and tackle better too.

[Verbal]

He got paid to do that.

Actual money.

[spikeykev]

One of the worst players I've ever seen. He is the Paul Robinson of attacking midfielders, and that may be harsh on Robbo as he did a job at one point.

[officer_dibble]

havent seen anything of today but not surprised.

tuncay shoulf of played that role given HE ISN'T A WINGER

Verbal would certainly lessen the impact of losing Holden then! sign him up!!

reckon Pratley got the long contract because we knew Blake was in his last season and needed a new Lofty the Lion man

[FaninOz]

Very poor footballer stealing a living just about decribes him.

[Dr.Karl]

They guy is bobbins but thats not his fault. If he were strolling around the park not putting a shift in then I'd have qualms about it. What really irks me is that we bought him. Just poor scouting/management.

Bring in Championship players - end up in the Championship. Simple pimple!

so Pratley is this weeks 4-4-2 for the bandwaggoners.
he wasn;t the worst of our central mid 3 yesterday
Reo-Coker was absolute shit AND he was strolling around like billybigbollocks.does he track back- ever?
he's shit but apparently above criticism

I think you watch a different game to most of us or do you just watch NRC for 9o mins so you can jump down his throat for every mistake? seems like it.
Pratley was, is, always will be shite! at best he might end up like Eagles, a showboater who performs every blue moon (unfortunates phrase given our next oppo's) at worst one of the boulders that will sink Coyle.

NRC had a bad one but he did and always does track back.It was his distribution that was way off beam not his workrate and yes of course you're right 442 is far more effective and would have given us far more chance yesterday. Of course in reality Pratley is a top top player(his class and application shines through every time he plays,he should be first name on the team sheet every week) and when there's a consensus of opinion it's just a symptom of weak mindedness not collective observations of people recognising the same things because everyone here except you is as thick as pig shit.

It's good that you are here to enlighten us on our blindness and correct the misguided flock.

Well we needed a scape goat and he's the best we have. NRC had a bad game but it was poor distribution not lack of workrate as far as I could see.You're probably right 442 is the way forward. It just needs tweaking to improve on the last 6 months. Thank god you're here to put everyone else right.Place is riddled with sheep.

[lovethesmellofnapalm]

thanks
at last some sense

[Hoboh]

Sense is we have some decent reasonable players along with some ok ish ones who have proved they can fuction as a team BUT ARE BADLY COACHED AND TRAINING IS A FECKIN' JOKE IF THE BASICS ARE SLIPPING thats the reality, thats Owen feckin' Coyle's fault.
