ponsaelius Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 I'd have been disappointed to see him start ahead of any of those. Why? He's better than Perch and Anita hasn't settled yet for whatever reason. I agree that I wouldn't take him back btw, but I'd have likely played him today.

DubblyDubblyDubbly Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 He's not getting a game at Reading and would be 6th choice behind Tiote, Cabaye, Perch, Bigi and Anita. No thanks. Your list assumes Jonas is creative. I beg to differ. He's been pants this season.Works ok with an adventurous LB, but he's not being played that way.

Disco Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 There must be a reason Guthrie's not getting a game for Reading. Probably faking injuries and all that, the usual conspiracy reasons. Couldn't give a flying fuck personally as he doesn't play for us anymore and the team he does play for are shit and will have little/no consequence on our season.

alexthegreat Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 He's not getting a game at Reading and would be 6th choice behind Tiote, Cabaye, Perch, Bigi and Anita. No thanks. He would have started today IMO. Midfield is one of the biggest disappointments for me this season. Abeid, Marveaux, and Amalfitano appear to have disappeared completely. Vuckic out for the season. Jonas looks a shadow of what he was this time last year. Tiote has been utterly reckless and is now paying for it. Cabaye has been inconsistent. And our one major signing from Ajax cannot dislodge James Perch from the starting line up. Only Bigirimana has really exceeded expectations Theres not much doubt Guthrie would add something to that bunch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

durhamunigeordie Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 No real reason for bumping this other than I was just wondering how much of a difference he would have made to us this year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a good lesson for Simpson what happens when you reach for more and end up losing out. He will sign for a promoted team no doubt and end up in the same boat.

Dokko Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Simpsons on return has been ok IMHO. A lot better than the one we saw before the transfer window. He's decent backup (i wouldnt have said that before his injury) but he wants more than that and probably just about deserves it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 He can take corners that aren't exclusively shit. That's pretty much the only difference he'd have made imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant see Danny S doing a great deal better, suppose Watford will need mercanaries if they come up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Would take him back personally if he was willing to play his old role as bit part player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Would rather play Anita in that role. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFEE Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 He would've helped personally... Reminds me a little bit when the majority wanted rid of Lee Clark out the first team (no pace/goals etc) then when he's gone you realise what he did... Comparing him to his replacement he has a better range of passing than Anita and better at dead balls and tracking back... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan_Taylor Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Main memory of Guthrie is him smashing that c*** Fagan. Anah it's awful and that, but never was someone so deserving of a good hoofing. http://img.thesun.co.uk/multimedia/archive/00697/73_guthrie_280x390_697350a.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
