Nope, just a fan. finger (and mouth) in a lot of pies.
Take more of an interest than others. talk to more involved with club than others.
Helps me see things from both sides of the argument.

Fair enough mate, who would you replace him with and what’s your reasoning for it?

[cashman]

I would try one of the new loanees for starters. my reasoning is 90% of the time he passes sideways or backwards, also for a midfielder not very good in the tackle.

Conneelys job is to get on the loose balls and find the spare man, thats often behind him. Keep the ball moving to a red shirt and retain possession. Some players are more cautious, and some are more gung ho with it and will look for the defence splitter.

One of the most eye opening interviews i saw was with Xabi Alonso "i can go through an entire game without making a tackle. You dont need to make a tackle". He turned out pretty decent ...

Weve got inexperienced players all over the park and swapping Seamus out at this point would be suicide, weve got bigger problems at right back and massive problems at left back. I wouldnt be surprised to see us change things to 3 at the back, Johnson will replace Seamus for the ban with maybe The Sheriff coming in for Maguire

Keeper
Sykes, Hughes, Onopko
Johnson, Sherif
Clarke, Finley, McConville
Bishop, Charles

[cashman]

agree oer left back, he aint bad going forward at all but defending is his main function and it does let him down.

So you are Coleman in disguise.
Don’t know Emtimov’s name, can’t spell Okopu, play Johnson in midfield, and select McConville when he’s still banned.

I’ve never in my life come across an avid fan enjoying the prospect of having players suspended. Forget everything else that is indefensible.
