MBW & Shuey & Edghill & Team For Crewe..

[BantamLad89]

Ok, im sick of MBW, he's shite, he can't pass and he gives the ball away far to much, then the question is 'he has the best footballing brain, he needs to start', yeh right! Anyone seen Tom Penford? 2x more creative than MBW, with twice the passing abiltiy, of course MBW, has more about him than Penford, but Penford outclasses MBW, in the passing and creative area!

Then Shuey, back to last seasons good ole SHIT form, put Bentham in! He tackles well, he gets stuck in and everything!

MBW and Shuey are always second to the ball!:mad:

Then Edghill...JESUS, he's shiter than shite, the passion he shows is -1 on a 10 scale:mad: The ball went out yesterday, and he couldnt be bothered moving abit to the right to collect the ball, so Ricketts had to run out of his area and pass it to him... And over all that, he's past it and shizzle!

My team for Crewe, with some extreme changes..

Ricketts
Swift Ainge Bower Parker
EJ Bentham Penford Daley
Dyer Paytner

Thats a good fighting team, you got players who want to proove themselves, Penford Swift EJ Bentham Daley, and none of them will not get stuck in, and none of them will back out of challenges.

And Wethers?

If anyone has seen penford play at a higher level I defy them to come out and say this kid (sorry hes early 20's now) has got what it takes! No physical presence, his creativity and passing is erratic more often than not doesnt find the target with pass/shot/cross, cant go past men, doesnt have blistering pace, not strong in the air. What does he have to offer?

I really dont know what people see in him other than blind optimism that we will one day bring through the ranks someone worth playing. Penford IS NOT the solution - he might be a nice lad, he is not a quality footballer however, and no amount of mediocre performances in the reserves will change my mind on that one - "Bambi on ice" is the most befiting analogy I can think of!

and whats this? i've been saying it all season?


Thanks.

Bolloks mate, pure bull shite.

He has wonderfull vision - something we lack at the moment
He can pull of some great passes - something we lack at the moment
Can dictate the midfeild -something we REALLY REALLY lack at the moment

as for the he's not got no physical presence....what was that 3 or 4 years ago, most younger players are unless they are fat....since he will have bulked out

as for mediocre reserve perofmances PMSFL!! He was the reseve captain and putting in our best peformences..... as he did at the end of last season, when he and other youths helped save city and pull us away from a relegation fight


and dear me, surely anyone is better than stevie shitemacher

[Parrot]

BMW came here as a winger...and that is his best position IMO

As for the middle, agree Bentham should start but im not sure about Penford?...as anyone seen him play lately?...I agree he has vision & passing ability but he's a bit lightweight to play in the middle!

Edgehill on the other hand...I dont know whats happened to this lad this season, i thought he looked more than capable last season but he's been absolute shite this time roundtdwn: ...maybe he's become "Turderised"?:rolleyes:

Anyway, all this is irrelevant because if Turd picks the team he's gonna leave the youth on the bench & play his own "toys" that he's brought to the club...all HIS favourites who have helped us into this situation in the first place:mad:

To be fair Penford and Bentham did well late on last season but as far as Todd is concerned MBW and Schuey will have more "pedigree" they have featured or have been part of prem team set up. Utter crap I know.
I am glad message board members are discussing the midfield - as for me the midfield including the central area is not the strongest. MBW and Schuey seem to guaranteed a place no matter how poorly they play (which is quite often). We need a player with some quality there - more competition. Other teams know if they stop our wide men the service to the front dries up so we need central midfielders who can hurt them in their box by scoring more goals , link up to the front two and also as importantly a midfielder who can break up the oppositions midfield in front of our back four.

MBW set pieces have become poor - some of his corners are abysmal and as for schuey his quick short -square of behind free kicks - are frustrating.

However our finances do not seem to allow us the luxury of being able to recruit off the shelf "quality".

5 minutes he's played this season, and in that minutes, he set up Muirhead with a ace through ball.

Harsh words, but IMO, he's worth a chance.

Do people really think MBW and Shuey are physical???

[Parrot]

I couldn't understand people who were slating Wetherall ect...at H/T during the Forest game...OK, he may have being at fault for Lesters goal, i thought it was a great bit of skill TBH...but the midfield (bar Daley)in that game were abysmal!...all across the pitch Forest just poured forward from the midfield with little or no opposition from our midfielders, the defence were left exposed on numerous occasionstdwn:

Can't help but notice you're playing a striker on the right wing, a right winger on the left wing, and close to zero experience for central defense and central midfield (excluding Bower). One of the most naive squad selections i've seen yet. Do try harder next time.

Very naive Edwin,but i bet that team would do alot better than the one not performing at the moment.Look back at last season when Swift,Bentham,Penford,Colbeck and JB were thrown in and you will see a fine run of results,but hey ho sounds like your in the CT mould.

Jimmy - the players you list have no "pedigree" - they have only come through the City ranks not from a prem team - so they will always be treated as second class. Lewis E for example is not doing too badly in a division above - yet he was a bit part player at this club.

The thing is- Todd's tactics could work, but his application is all wrong. He plays people out of position- somthing i just slated, he will not play youngsters- i am one of bentham's; and ainge's biggest fans. I take your point- the desire in the youngsters would let the team perform- but that's only because Todd is such a bad man-manager to begin with that the more senior players are not performing. I am not in the 'todd mould.' I just appreciate the simple fact that most sucessful teams have an experienced spine of players down the middle. I'm all for trying out penford, for keeping bentham, for trying ainge, but not all at once, in the same line-up, as this could destabalise that spine.

Thats theory is fine EF - buit the stable spine is not that stable at the moment and the youngsters did well to get us out of the situation we were in last season - hence JR wanting to start the season with the youngsters - but was persuaded by Mr Todd it would not work after the Darlo friendly loss.

Are you his best mate or something? If he was better than the others on the training pitch he would get a chance like bentham has (exactly the same position) which can only suggest he isnt impressing! I have seen this lad play last season and in pre season friendlies and I just dont see what others do in him. I particularly remember the pre season freindly against darlington where he came on fizzed about 5 passes in a row which all missed the intended man and was completely absent for the duration of his spell on the pitch.

He hasnt filled out at all mate same size as he was 3 years ago, he's another danny forrest for me - an example of people overestimating his ability simply cos he come up through the ranks!

Captain of the reserves??? you mean the team that are 5 points adrift at the bottom of the league yeah - clearly made an impact then hasnt he!

That said, nowt wrong in giving him a chance, I just think people will be severely dissapointed when their night in shining armour turns out to be a damp squib!

[BantamLad89]

Lol, nice one - he really has no clue!!:rolleyes:

It's an opinion, am I not aloud one...No...:rolleyes: Of course im not.... yer arrogant peice of shit.

Shouldnt you be making threads about shit in the Yorkshire Post? You know where you spell everything wrong and where no one belives you FPSMLjump:

Funny isn't it, right winger on the left? Thats right yeh...Considering on his Jamaican profile it says Left/right winger/defender. Oh, and he played Left Wing V Costa Rica:rolleyes:

Oh and Eddie on the right, why not??:confused:

Penford and Bentham 'close to zero experience ' - Let me tell you something, if Shuey and MBW can run around do fcuk all except give the ball away and be 2nd to it all the time, what worse can these to do eh?

Todd is too scared to take gambles, Bantamboy's team is a different one but would do the job IMO.

I believe i've already covered this- no it wouldn't. In fact, it is almost todd-esque with the positioning, but not, due to the younger players in (which i am fine with- main gripe with positioning.)
