No, that would be an impact, but a joint one between all the defensive players, and not simply Magnusson alone. Attacking players, in general, are able to affect/effect (@robin_unreliant delete as appropriate) the game more as an individual. Can we go back to the topic now, instead of having an argument from a ******* joke? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologies for being a ***** but that particular word triggers my ocd when misused. I know....sorry again. It is nothing to do with ocd, it is liking to see the English language used properly and respected. Could of is another one that highly irritates me. I bet Magnusson knows the difference.

Welcome To The Jungle Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 50 minutes ago, RedRaw said: You are going to have to define what you mean by 'impact' for a defender. He has played in all 5 league games in which we have won 3 and lost 2, only conceding 5 goals in the process He has scored once, made 17 clearances and has received no yellows or reds He has looked strong, assured and calm in all games I have seen Can't see what more he could do to make more of an impact.....especially as he is only 20 Sorry if mentioned already but he is 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
