The fact that it's not come out just makes it more likely to be pretty bad. How can we decide if he's worthy of a second chance if we don't know what he did? Number 2 - that gets reported to the police by the victim and he goes to jail or at very least ends up on a register. It's sexual assual FFS. 1. How can we decide without knowing a thing about it? You haven’t got a clue what it’s about but just to be safe he shouldn’t be allowed a second chance. Thats usually something that happens in the courtroom of some backwards corrupt country. But each to their own. 2. Maybe in the very extreme sense. But to say the club has a flawed moral is still over the top. Link to post Share on other sites

We were still very much safety first and didn't score any more than a Warnock side Friend and nsue pushed way more forward than Bola and dijksteel. Playing a number 10 instead of 3 in midfield. We passed the ball on the floor instead of through the air from defence to the wings. Those are the three main distinctions and they make all the difference for me. If you can only really hit a team from the wings like we do, it just becomes boring. 4 Link to post Share on other sites

It might not be that bad but everything is pointing to the fact it is. I'd rather know what it is so I can make that judgement myself, the fact that it's been hidden just makes me even more wary. If you're happy enough to just accept that it's all fine then that's okay but I'm not. 2. Extreme sense? If he did that to a female lines woman on the pitch what do you think would happen? And why is it different? By signing him we showed we don't really care if that's the type of conduct we can expect from our players. If that's not a flawed moral standpoint I don't know what is.

Fair enough I found Karanka's side pretty boring and slow, so each to their own Link to post Share on other sites
Barnaby 954 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 11 minutes ago, Neverbefore said: Well, Warnock and pulis are the only two who have refused to play any more than 3 attacking players at any one time. McLaren and karanka were safety first, can't deny that. But we always ensured we had enough players who could do damage at the other end of the pitch which made it much easier to watch. I think that's the main difference really. McLaren had 5 strikers on the pitch in the match against Steaua bucher Link to post Share on other sites

In retrospect it's amazing that he managed to be as defensive as he was with all those players on the pitch! Goes to show just how damn good boateng, Southgate and ehiogu/riggott actually were! 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Neverbefore 10,695 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 That leaves us really light in centre midfield. Maybe we'll actually see a non 3 man centre midfield formation at some point. Link to post Share on other sites
TeaCider24 12,399 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 He needed that move. We're very light on midfielders now if there are injuries, though some of our defenders could be shifted there. Link to post Share on other sites

DurhamRed 2,043 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 (edited) Glad for Wing hope he gets lots of play time and bangs lots of 30 yard belters in the top corner so he's back on the confidence come summer Link to post Share on other sites
