GodEmperor Palpatine Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 A lot of people complain about Skuse's lack of creativity. This is a bit like saying that Wayne Rooney is a poor defender. Skuse was, and is, a defensive midfield player and should be judged as such. JET is a good creative player in the current team, but I don't think City would be successful with a midfield consisting emtiry of JET style players. As a defensive midfielder he wasn't that good either or it just declined season after season, the odd good game in a blue moon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only ever judged Skuse as a defensive midfielder, have a look at last seasons highlights and tell me how anyone can say he had a decent season. I wish the bloke all the best but not sorry he's gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeepUpLino Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 He was creative, but JET is the creativity we have now. Your kidding right? Please don't make me laugh ) powder puff shooting ability and zero creativity.. Our new midfield is like a breath of fresh air! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeepUpLino Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 Skuse was willing, hard working and was always the last off the pitch applauding fans (even after drubbings). Respect where respct is due I feel, calling him shite and the like is a huge lack of respect. He's not the most gifted footballer, but don't dismiss Skuse in such a way. I would have thought that as a human being he should be treated with a level of decency, but as that seems to be beyond you, I'll hope that this will persuade you not to be so abusive. How is me saying he's shite being abusive?!? Just saying how it is!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who singularly failed in that role as well, hopefully Mad Mick will actually explain to him what midfield runners are and how to track them.

Don't worry I am waiting for one of the posters to use the classic of if you didn't rate Skuse then you don't know nothing about football or never been to a City game.

But Pack & Wynter are also consider to be "defensive midfielders", but they've created more havoc for the opposition in 2 games than Skuse has done in 2 seasons (and that's generous).

JET is a good creative player in the current team, but I don't think City would be successful with a midfield consisting emtiry of JET style players. Well judging him on the goals we conceded last season, he was a shite defensive midfielder, as well as a shite creative midfielder. But he was a local boy, who always clapped the fans at the end........so i guess that makes it aright! Great that we seem to have finally found some new younger fitter midfielder's that can actually pass the ball! Still perhaps the promising Skuse needed more time.......he might be a great player by the time he's 50! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sod knew that if he is to progress to being a a Championship manager like.....GJ.....then he had to clear out the overpaid dross, and bring in more talent!

pongo88 Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 An oft made comment on the forum has been that although Skuse gets constant abuse from some posters he has always been a regular first team player with every City manager. Perhaps this proves that the fans on the forum should manage the team.

Chivs Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 Ipswich fans have always recognised a good player when they see. Can't say the same about some City fans. With Sir Bobby Robson and Sir Alf Ramsey, I imagine Ipswich fans have always recognised a good manager when they see one. Can't say the same about some City fans.

Harry Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 And why would that be? I'll tell you - different style of play under a different manager. Ok, in that case I'll say in the past 4 seasons then (i.e. including your beloved's reign). The reason the style of play is different is because the midfield now has players capable of adapting to such a system. Note how Sod's style didn't really work last year with Skuse in the midfield. He had 5 months to get the best out of him and failed, yet within 2 games he's got Pack, Wynter & Kilkenny purring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or more to the point what happened to them all at this club? Not saying he is the sole reason why managers have gone but come on.. How many games did Skuse influence or when did he have a good game? His career stagnated the last 4 or 5 seasons under these managers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciderbeans Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 Regardless of whether our old players were good or not, the squad needed a complete makeover of which we have done and in all honesty, despite being a league below, have attained better players.
