Weird player. Bet he looks good in training. The classic case of the kid who was comfortable playing in a big club’s academy for years too long rather than play adult football then looks soft and ineffective when starting to play adult football at about 23. Doubt he’ll be a professional footballer when he’s 30.
Absolutely keep Dunne. Proven good egg, covers two positions if required. Cook clearly doesn’t have a fitness issue given he plays every week but a lot depends on the planned style of play. He’ll be 34 on big money so if we’re playing the low block, cling to a clean sheet with our cold dead hands style as we are now it’s probably worth an extra year. If not, those wages are probably better spent elsewhere.
Colback absolutely not. He’s only rated highly when he’s not playing, which is often.
Struggling to remember a worse performance where we didn’t lose. There’s probably a flukey 1-0 win I’ve forgotten where we played as badly that I’ve blocked out of my memory. The famous Paul Hart 2-1 win (Bristol City also?) but from memory that wasn’t as tragic as the first hour in particular here.
Another very decent performance yesterday. They didn’t get much joy down their left and as ever he won the first contact on the rare balls we got into their box. Just a proper bloke to have in the team when you’re under the cosh.
I thought that at the time. Ball nowhere near the corner and maybe he wouldn’t have got there but I didn’t think it was one of those you just have to stare at and hope. Made up for it after.
They could have left nine up and defended our corners today. You’ve got Dunne, Cook, Field and Morrison trundling up the pitch and twice just chip it at the nearest defender.
I’d argue Stoke have more chance of being dragged into it as the season goes on than Luton. Surprised Edwards has clung on but they’ve got good players and they’ll win home games at least. Stoke will just do what Stoke always do.
