nickD Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 Just a thought about Luke, Remember in the close season there was all that talk on his 'personal' webpage about wanting to get out of City and moving on to a bigger club? Well, humour me here.... Perhaps he's voiced these opinions to Tins during the 'look in the eye' test, and Tins has dropped him to the bench as his attitude hasnt changed since pre-season? Is it possible that Tins will drop a player who could be Player of the Season (if Leroy wasnt around!) because his attitude isnt 100%? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same thing has happened to Doherty remember. If you ask me if you can't look your manager in the eye and tell him you want to play for his club then you must be crazy. Theres not much way you can further your career by doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has to be something more to this. Perhaps Tins is trying not to publicise it.... ....or then again he could simply be giving Wilkshire a break Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collis Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 Yeah, but Doherty was about as useful as playing a tin of beans in midfield. ← Your talking about probably our best player. Obviously, he has had a rough patch but too slate him like that is abit harsh. I don't think he agreed with Tinnion's appointment but then again, hes not the only one.

Pete1975Legend Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 I have said this before Tins does not like it as Luke is as good as him and being younger and a international. So tins swallow your pride let the boy loose and hang up them boots unless reall really needed Luke can do your job on the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slave to the rhythm Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 Wilkshire has been simply outstanding at times.← Has he? Or are we guilty of over-estimating his contribution to the team? He's a "pretty" player, but is that what we need at places like Hull and Hartlepool in Winter?

Doherty may have been our best player last season, but the entirety of this season he has been very very poor, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swindon Hater Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 Wilkshire's had a good season, but hasn't been the same the last month or so, and shys away in away games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol Boy Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 Not likely and I don't consider LW the type to "rare up" I would suggest that Tinnion doesn't fancy LW away from home and LW, in my view needs to play in the centre of midfield, preferably in a 3-5-2 (Tranmere), although, initially, he did well coming in from a wide left position.

Guest taipan Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 If you recall, LW was dropped for the Chesterfield game, BEFORE Brians little chats with all the players... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mightymilks Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 I think that BT has helped Luke alot at the start of this season, beacuse they are both similar types of players. I can't remember Luke being this good last season, at one point i thought he was a dreadfull signing and a waste of money. I just don't understand what BT is doing leaving him out this season.

More to this than meets the eye, because up until christmas Wilks was a good consistent performer. Since then he's been substituted, or benched most of the subsequent games. I would hate to lose either of them, but i guess they want up, sooner rather than later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he agreed with Tinnion's appointment but then again, hes not the only one. ← Oh, I get it!! Because Tommy Doherty did not agree with the appointment of Tinnion, that has given him the god given right to be unfit and put minimal effort in then. In other words, take the (Am I naughty or what!) out of 11,000 supporters who pay his wages every other week plus hundreds who travel all over the country every other week. And there was me thinking that as professionals, all these players were expected to be fit, look after their bodies, earn their money and put 100% in every week.

Super Scotty Murray Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 What is more important at the end of the day, getting promoted or finding out who cares.... Wilkshire = best player No Wilkshire = lack of a decent attacking midfield With Wilkshire = hope of getting in the playoffs If Tins has dropped our best player because he wants to play at a higher level does that mean Lita is going to be dropped too...along with every other player outside the premiership??!!! don't talk rubbish, if Tins has dropped him for that it is an absolute joke.

Lita has also said that he is not looking for a move, and that he's totally committed to City (not that its got much relevence!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
