Yorkie Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Regardless of how good/bad he may be, it was unfair of Pardew to say what he did in January, especially when there are far bigger shysters right under his nose. It can't be good for his already weak mentality if he does stay. Contrary to my last post in this thread i kinda enjoyed the ruthlessness on that occasion. He was far from good enough and told to sling his hook; a message to the rest of the squad. Not replacing him was the cardinal error. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 The error imo was not having the faith in Ferguson from much earlier on. There were plenty of occasions he could have switched Jonas to the right and put Ferguson on the left had he wanted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Regardless of his ability to play in the PL, I think he would have made a significant difference in some of the games he missed between January and the Summer. Most notably, running out the game in the Sunderland/Spurs games, injecting a bit of pace into the lacklustre second half against Everton and the trip to Villa where we looked unbalanced, mismatched and off the pace. Letting him go was bad. Not replacing him was criminal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Letting him go was bad. Not replacing him was criminal. I said when we let Routledge go in January it might give more opportunities for Ferguson. Of those games you mentioned we had Routledge as an unused substitute at Sunderland, and Ferguson was an unused sub against Spurs & Villa. We had pace if we wanted to go down that route but Pardew decided on bringing on Gosling & Perch instead. That's tactical, and I'm sure in the situation many managers would have went down the "hang on to 1-0" route rather than bring on pace at that stage. We also finished the game against Everton with Jonas & Ferguson on the wings, that defeat was just down to Everton being better on the day than anything else. Amazed at how much has been played on Wayne smegging Routledge leaving. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazed at how much has been played on Wayne smegging Routledge leaving. Personally don't think that much is being 'played' on him leaving tbh I just think he's more useful than the majority of this forum gives him credit for, and we certainly missed him (or his space in the squad) whilst he was at QPR. The Wigan (a) game is testament to what affect he could have had in seeing out a 1-0 victory though. We just gave him the ball and he ran it across the halfway line and down the wing. He's also capable of offering something different. Against Villa we looked very one paced and our midfield was so unbalanced, with Barton drifting inside and practically every single attack going down the left. Everton were there for the taking IMO. And we simply ran out of ideas. That's as well as throwing more players out of position than was necessary. Simpson on the wing man, it could have so easily have been avoided. I'm not pretending he's capable of stepping up to the PL, but it was a mistake to let him go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 agree with JH there. I was absolutely livid with him after the Stevenage performance, that was the straw that broke the camel's back for me. However, watching Simpson on the wing and loads of square pegs being forced into round holes during uninspiring draws/defeats made it obvious we shouldn't have let him go so fast without a replacement.

Ronaldo Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Probably been said before, but I reckon he's nailed on to go to Birmingham. Hope so, he's garbage. A 'garbage' footballer wouldn't have walked into the best side in The Championship and improved them hugely, which he's done twice in consecutive seasons, btw. We have plenty of garbage footballers, but Routledge isn't one of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, we had Routledge available for Sunderland but I think by that point it was clear Pardew had no faith in him after the Stevenage farce, and for the Everton game, and we had Ferguson. Letting him go had no affect on our season at all imo, against Villa he could have put Jonas right and Ferguson left. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 The problem for me is if we don't get shot of him Ashley might use that as an excuse not to sign Zog as he plays in that position and we'll be paying an extra salary. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Snrub Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Stupid and pointless to get rid of Routledge, even more so if Joey ends up leaving and we need other options down the right. How about getting rid of people that have proved to be garbage like Ryan Taylor and Guthrie. He was class for us in the Championship and for QPR when he went on loan. He didn't get a fair crack of the whip when we came up, he deserves a chance even if only as a substitute. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
