That's true, he's only scored against the REALLY SHIT teams this season hasn't he? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some new foreign players who struggle for a few months around Nov/Dec time when the intensity of the league catches up a bit - once he gets used to this he will be fine - probably see really kick on in the next few months Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw Rodri last week say he's gained 10kg since moving to the UK because you need more bulk and strength for this league, and he mentioned it's really noticeable in Pau Torres since he moved here, too (they played together at Villareal, I think). It's a league that takes a bit of getting used to for a lot of players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Yeah. Torres was utter wank against us at SJP. Has looked quality every time I’ve seen him since. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a league that takes a bit of getting used to for a lot of players. Plus doesn’t help when you play Europa too - it takes its toll - definitely a shock to many foreign players - takes a good year to get used to the PL - plus in the case of most of these there’s no winter break in Dec, it’s relentless stuff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Just catching up with some highlights. Woodman looked awful for Preston and also tiny. I always thought he looked slight and small when playing for us. But it seemed like he was about 5ft 8”. Not a chance he is 6ft 2”. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Aye, Torres has looked an excellent buy. Classy player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smal Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 WTF happened to Stoke? How's their ground so empty now? . When they were in the PL going there had a bit of an infamous reputation and now it's half empty. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since they got relegated they've finished: 16th, 15th, 14th, 14th, 16th and are currently 19th, they've also been really poorly run both on the pitch by mediocre managers, and off it, which has let to a lot of apathy. That sort of apathy and mediocrity will make the ground at most clubs look like that picture. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paullow Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Don't really fancy Man City vs Huddersfield, so going for Shrewsbury vs Wrexham on S4C (Sky channel 134, you can get English comms) and have Newcastle women on the laptop more in the background.

Paullow Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Shrewsbury have missed 3 glaring chances, no excuse for 2 of them really, but still 0-0. They started off almost 4/1 to win, despite being at home and against a lower league side (although obviously not a typical L2 side), but they are currently 12/5 in play. Both sides unchanged from their last match, which is good to see. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
