Super Posted October 19, 2022 Report Share Posted October 19, 2022 11 hours ago, Edgy Red said: I think the fact we played 3 natural midfielders and left Weimann on the bench really helped. I thought Williams, Scott and James had decent games and looked far more comfortable than when there is only 2 of them in the middle of the park Spot on. The only worry is the lack of legs when it's him and Williams adding Scott in there last night was massively helped them. Maybe now Weimann has to contest one of the forward spots. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riaz Posted October 19, 2022 Report Share Posted October 19, 2022 Way under-rated. Very good player and we look much better when he's in the side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He fulfils the defensive midfielder role with more solidity than Williams, and also feeds it out of the middle of our half. An understated but crucial role. As for Andi, I've always maintained he's more a striker than a midfielder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was a story (unsubstantiated) at one point that he was thinking of suing the club. Probably complete bollocks, but would’ve been a huge criticism of the previous team. He certainly went public about how unhappy he was with his treatment and it was reported that he arranged his own operation in the end. I began to wonder whether the specialist in Solihull he kept being sent to was another member of the Ashton entourage! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcofisher Posted October 19, 2022 Report Share Posted October 19, 2022 He was brilliant last night. I hope we can keep him fit. Think we will see King coming on a lot for James after 70-80 mins just to sit in front of the back line if we are looking to hold on, and and attacking sub for him if we are chasing a game. He is crucial to dictate tempo from the start. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact they absolutely crippled him, I wouldn’t surprised. Being thrown in back to back to games with basically still a torn hamstring is gross negligence worthy.

Major Isewater Posted October 19, 2022 Report Share Posted October 19, 2022 13 hours ago, Mr Popodopolous said: I've never really got the flak for James. Experience, stability, technically sound. Glue that can hold the midfield together at times. Some of our fans were expecting a cross between Zidane and Maradona because he’s won a Premier league. The guy has a big reputation but plays more the ‘ water carrier’ role dictating the play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
