Routledge will come back. He needs to focus on working the channels more as opposed to hugging the touchline. Usually there's nobody waiting for that cross so he hesitates and gives himself an extra man to beat. Thought he was very good against Wolves and Everton.
Big Dunc was a tough b****** with principles, Carroll is just a cowardly f***ing charva. Glassing people and hitting lasses? Lowest of the low if you ask me.
This. Terrible comparison.
Most of the fans also realised Alan Smith was a terrible hindrance at the same time. But we still went into the first 4 games of this season with him starting.
It's worrying.
Perch needs a break though, no? Or would you stick with him?
I'm hoping Simpson will be fit. If not, i'd probably stick Williamson out there. Not ideal, but an improvement.
And the beat goes on.
Anyway, we needed investment and what we got was a net spend of -£8m, and Kevin f***ing Nolan. A similar window will see us finish bottom.
