Engvall’s Splinter

Going by posts from many fans across Twitter where they’ve suggested their club sign Scott for a few million - I think our fans and club are hugely overvaluing Scott. I understand the club doing it to obtain optimal price but I can’t see any club offering any more than 10m quid for him.

Been sacked by Inter Miami this evening 

He's one of those people that amazes me how he ever gets a top managerial position. 

After his meltdown in a recent interview the writing was on the wall 

He was awful with the England women and essentially only got this position because his business partner Peter Lim, his brother Gary, and a board including himself and other multiple business partners awarded him the role at a job at which he did not even interview for. 

The icing on the cake was when he signed and played his son for Miami 

What amazes me from all the class of '92, not one of them learnt a thing from SAF about football management 

I still have flashbacks of yelling "don't foul him" in the closing stages of the Euro 2000 defeat to Romania as he gave away that stupid late penalty against England 

Nepotism will always be thrown in situations like this yet the lad was offered a professional contract at United before departing for Miami. Can’t be a bad player if that’s the case?

Surely a whoosh post …

Nothing wrong with ambition.

Only if he plays a certain amount of minutes or games apparently 

I can’t believe that. Surely we’d be aware he was likely to play a bit part role. Wouldn’t surprise me if they look to offload in January. Might get a few bob then too.

Oh dear.

The “same” song as loads of other teams, then. Including the 15ers.

Why is it “oh dear”? As in oh dear football fans create atmosphere ?

Gas head in work was giving it spuds yesterday that they hold the record for largest support at a JPT final. Anyone got any evidence to say different or that we took more in our last visit?

From memory, I think he is on approx £30k a week. 

That’s what I’ve read. Surely we wouldn’t be looking to pay anyone any more than 15k max?

Would have thought it would be a hell of a pay cut to fit within our wage structure. If it can be done though then I’d be keen. 

Interesting views on here. Talksport commentator stating the gulf in class between the two sides is huge.

I just don't get it....Peter Crouch seems an ok bloke....but he talks like he is still a 17 year old teenager....it's embarrassing and a bit sad, that he thinks he's down with the lads....despite approaching middle age

Each to their own. 

Bit bland this. 
 

AJ talks a good game in the media but I don’t reckon he really wants it. He’s had opportunities here to see it through but appears to then back off. Weird. 

Cam Pring POTY (most improved and consistent performer since coming in to the side)

Alex Scott YPOTY (say no more)

Matty James has really stepped up their year also. Vyner has done well too.

So, couple of things;

It was actually his second start.

At the start of the season many highlighted that our squad only contained 2 players aged in the sweet spot of 26-30, one of them was Kalas, who was injured then & is again now, the other was Bentley, who doesn’t play for us anymore. So Cornick is 28 next month, he’s hardly on the way down at that age, is he?

Last season Cornick scored 13 in a side that finished in the playoff positions, earning 20 more points than we did.

We paid £300k for him, he’s an experienced Championship squad player with an excellent availability record, who doesn’t look as though he’s as fit as we’d like, but with 9 games left that is far more likely to be addressed pre season.

If he still looks unfit in October & we haven’t seen much from him by then I’d understand this but there does seem a rush by a fair few to write him off.

Just confirming the forum rules - we allowed to pass comment on him game by game though right? 
 

I’ll give you a couple may be going a tad over the top. He has though so far, in the time he has been on the pitch, been largely disappointing. 
 

Hopefully he manages to improve his levels with a pre-season under his belt. 

The last 15 minutes pretty much puts the argument to bed that we couldn’t compete due to missing players. Much better energy, quicker with the ball, urgency to win it back etc.  

Love it if we could nick one here.

What is this weird obsession with bashing/bringing up Cornick at every opportunity? Very very odd. 
 

Had a good second half. Won a lot in the air. Doing a pretty thankless role atm. 

People are entitled to an opinion, it’s a forum. Cornick, like many in the first half especially, was poor. Others have been name checked also. He’s had a very flat start since joining though - as you’ll know. 

Some save that.

For who ?

Curtis Fleming?

Players out injured or not, I’d still expect the likes of Pring, Vyner et al to be able to pick out one of our players. Some better movement from Wells or some width from Weimann may help kind you. Cornick to refrain from giving away possession so easily also. 
 

Appreciate Luton look superior but we’ve yet to get off the bus. 
 

Could be 4 down. 

Quite like the look of Morris. 

Pring & Dasilva poor. Vyner ballwatching. 

Well worked corner there.

If only I knew this weekends lotto numbers. 

Weimann is due one.
