If only we had a box to box midfielder that had energy to burn took on the defence running at them with pace and a good crosser but still defended well with good passing skills and made goals and scored a few.
Oh wait we have and cannot get a game
Sutton may not be the best but is twice the player no goal. no threat Gilliard is who makes mistakes costing goals

 

Well there's a surprise

 

He was asked the question about them who said they were the answer

 

Yes it does it exists in every league at different levels of ability. All the teams that do well have at least one player who can fulfill that role and we see them weekly in the league. Sutton with a run of games can grow in to that position but is not given the chance even after scoring on his last game as Hughes prefers a headless chicken who is careless with the ball and has zero attacking threat

 

I did meny

I did mention Songo'o as an option to Smallwood, but no idea who could step up as captain

 

For now.

 

This is factually incorrect.

I figured it was wrong, then went to playmakerstats, and yep - incorrect.

 

He has been played regular with Watt as a midfield partner that did well under two managers. Am not saying he is that good but compared with Gillieard he is in a higher league as a player

 

Whats happened to Osudina? Surely he cant be as uncomfortable as Yann on the ball?

 

Who is they?

 

At what, if you mean my reply re Yann, where am I wrong?.

 

He’s spending a long, long time “ growing” into a midfielder. He’s 25, played 80 pro games and scored 2 or 1 depending on which stats one reads. So let’s not reply with a “ whataboutism “ , is that good enough data to suggest he stopped growing a while ago?

 

Your stats are wrong Kev. I remember him scoring at least 3 for City alone.

 

never let the facts get in the way of a blinkered opinion

 

You say Song'o is a midfielder not a defender, so in that respect I would expect him to be more comfortable with the ball at his feet

 

Platt has been very good in the main, trouble is he’s not the most mobile so needs Critchow next to him. He and Songo’o was never a good idea although I guess it couldn’t be helped.

It reminded me of when the O’Connors used to play together, neither complemented each other at all and it was a disaster.

 

Came from wiki , but I did say , which ever stats you look at .

Happy for you to provide some to make them factual

 

Platt had a good start, but has tailed off for me, to be honest.

It's a shame we weren't able to stick with Crichlow and Songo'o, who kept the clean sheet at Sutton.

But yeah, we're missing Crichlow badly - much worse than I ever imagined.

Platt and Songo'o are probably interchangeable and make a poor pairing, I just feel Songo'o is on better form. Could have been a cricket score against Northampton, but Songo'o did a decent job as the last man.

 

Wiki where it came from , I’ll see what else I can see. They are all different. I found one with 4 goals in his FL entire career. One with 2 , and one with 3 . All probably unreliable. I remain convinced he’s not the solution to our problem , seemingly neither does MH . I can’t imagine being tried at Right back any longer because Halliday has turned out to be a decent fullback. I recall one goal he scored in a league game away ( Swindon perhaps ?) but nothing else in the league since
