    Never got the love in for him. To me he’s always looked nervous as hell, weak, slow and incapable of passing. Feel he’s got a free pass as he’s a local lad.

    I can't see him bringing one in. Doesn't seem to be a problem to him. If it were then there would be someone here by now

    Yet we get walked over week after week by teams with a better midfield. Gilliead, Sutton & Smallwood won't take us up. It's the league two equivalent of having Darren Morgan, Mick Duxbury & Tom Penfold in there.

    Other way around. Our midfield needs a "diamond" in it.

    so are you saying it's Sutton's fault even when he hasn't been playing :joy:

    Can't remember if he left him or was never anywhere near him. Earlier in the season we conceded several goals to uncontested far post headers on that side. In my book that's the right backs territory

    PS not that absolves responsibility for not blocking the cross in the first place

    I do agree heading is his weak point, what I will say is most full backs struggle with the ball coming over from the other side. I remember Gary Neville doing a segment on it and highlighting it as Kyle Walker and Trent Alexander’s biggest weakness including clips of goals. I think if you look for something it can be found, I’d be surprised if there weren’t similar goals from Foulds’ side. If there isn’t maybe that’s a compliment to Halliday that he’s stopped the cross. As you say stopping the cross is the best way to prevent a goal.

    Now now don't be getting @Fordy117@Fordy117 all excited. Those midgets better watch out tonight-they won't know what has hit them.

    Also agree with a lot of Jon's logic on this one , trying to improve the team has to be the aim - yes Foulds has been steady, yes he's a local lad etc but this should not stop us looking to upgrade. Whether we have or not of course is a totally different matter.

    Just hope the players belief in Hughes and his methods are not deteriorating with all the changes he is making.

    It's not entirely up to them. It's as though they can throw a hissy fit like say Trossard has at Brighton.

    They're unproven L2 players, both have an element of doubt as to whether they will make a living in the professional game.

    So if they play well and Hughes welcome them back - then back they come, as they're under contract, wiser and perhaps better players.

    I think we need to get used to an era where the club calls the shots as opposed to the last five, where numerous players have called the shots.

    The players we have loaned out will come back knowing the club / manager does not want them and the loan players brought in will go back to there parent club owing us nothing

    Or he realised the ride he got as a “home made” player was coming to an end?
    Nothing against the lad whatsoever, but the regression is there for all to see. If what MH says is true then it’s dawned on Matty too? Good luck to him. I doubt he will return.
