I don't think Howe sees Anderson as a wide player at all. Seems to only play him central midfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 Anderson was ready to come on when we got the winner, wasn't he? Stripped off and then had to sit back down again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was playing out the game with experience. Absolutely the right change. Anderson may be young but needs to "do it". He hasn't yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 Like a phoenix from the ashes this mad bastard. Played his part tonight, tidy as. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

duo Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 Like the way he warms up with the starting 11 before matches - clearly just wants to feel he is a part of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 Out for the season. Probably means he's played his last game for us? Sounds like he's a huge presence in the dressing room though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LV Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 Wouldn’t be surprised if he stays on next season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPERTOON Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 Hopefully that’s him done here in a playing role. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0cafella Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 Aye hope he stays in some form but we can’t afford to give him a squad place next season I have thought Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Geordie Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 Has he done his coaching badges at all - does anyone know? I agree - should be kept around, if not in a playing role (if he agrees to it) He's a good lad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderson Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 Still only 33, be surprised if he's ready to move into a coaching role just yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 Ideal for the older player in under 21s but wonder if he feels he maybe still has another year or so in the first team somewhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 I think the way Eddie treats his players like Ritchie will have a massive impact on the squad as a whole. Feeling valued is just about the best way of building loyalty and connection. The lads must absolutely love playing for this club right now. They’re building a connection that will be there for a lifetime Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 Trippier confirmed on the podcast the other day that Ritchie is in the leadership group, so I wouldn't be surprised at this point if we haven't seen the last of him. Harder to find a move if you're 34 and crocked as well like. Shame for him, he deserves good things. If he'd somehow contrived to find the net for us one last time this season, it would have been a great moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 Feels like there's always been whispers in the years he's been here that he'd like a move back down south Wonder if someone like Plymouth would go for him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s tucked away about as far into the SW as you can get without straying into Cornwall. I say this as someone who lives in Devon and it takes fucking forever to get anywhere Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 Down with a knee injury and straight into the backroom is literally Eddie and Tindall's story so I wouldn't be surprised to see Ritchie opting to hang it up and pursue his next chapter. Couldn't pick a better place to start. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
