PFree Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 I'm not sure if anybody else agrees but for me, out of the players who have recently left, Adomah is missed the most. What's concerning is that Albert was our most creative player and now that Jet is probably the only player who can, and does create, his inconsistency is the concerning aspect. Whilst we all want to watch entertaining football, that's played on the floor, until we do gel and bring in a player or two that complements the squad, we will need to consider playing a large centre forward up with Baldock in the hope we create goals down the middle - we aren't good enough to open up defences with sometimes going long? If you think back through recent games, we have been most effective whilst Harewood has been up front? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BookEnd Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 How is Albert getting on at Boro' ? Do the fans rate him? Great character, we are missing him alot on the pitch and off the pitch too his interviews always copped a laugh of two from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert was as inconsistent as JET (who I don't actually think is that inconsistent, or at least hasn't been with us), if not more. We miss him, but he doesn't and wouldn't have fitted in with O'Driscoll's approach sadly.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrizzleRed Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 I'm pretty sure JET will end up with more assists than Albert did last year and he's certainly going to weigh in with far more goals. Yes we'll miss Albert but on balance, we'll be better off with JET than Albert imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myol'man Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 Albert wouldn't even get in the team under SOD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrizzleRed Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 Two completely different players in different positions, can't really compare them Right, but they're probably our only two out and out flair players, so that's why I was comparing them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleepy1968 Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 can we stop this nonsense and move on? otherwise I think we are missing big john and gerry gow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC Jordan Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 I agree that we've missed him more than any of the other players that departed in the summer. The attacking outlet he provided has often been something we've lacked this season, no player in our side has anywhere near the ability to take the game by the scruff of the neck like Albert was able to, and that has often been a problem this season for us. Without wanting to pick on a single player, Wagstaff doesn't offer enough of a threat going forward for me, at least not yet. Then again, I don't think many clubs wouldn't miss Albert if he left them. We have the squad that we have, let's focus on them and not think about the past.

The Kaiser Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 Albert's problem was the tendency to run up his own arse with the ball a lot of the time. In saying that - I do miss him. Always tried and was a professional to the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miketh2nd Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 I'd say we miss albert at times but he has great talent but I'd say we miss Davies more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 Two completely different players in different positions, can't really compare them And in two completely different teams, with completely different central midfielders around them. Like comparing chalk and cheese. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beaverface Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 Ive said it in other threads, I think we lack pace in the side. We dont necessarily miss Albert per say but his pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great character, we are missing him alot on the pitch and off the pitch too his interviews always copped a laugh of two from me. He put one past Gerken the other week against Ipswich, Skuse and Anderson just stood and watched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
