Re: Brady
Maybe he's just not used to playing so defensively and so narrow - not at all like a normal wide player who is encouraged to get down the line and put crosses into the box

Re: Swans versus Mighty Clarets
When you've got wide men who are told to play defensive and narrow you will never see any crosses into the box - and that applies at home as well as awayDen_Perry wrote:Just remind me how many crosses we put into their box?

Re: Swans versus Mighty Clarets
Passing accuracy of just over 60% (Swansea over 80%) shows our weakness - we just can't hang on to the ball long enough to take some control in the game
Their 5 man midfield is in charge but SD won't change unless we are losing

Re: Why does all transfer gossip value Keane at £20m+
For me, the one hope is that, if we stay up, Keane will sign another contract I can fully understand him not wanting to commit to us earlier this season when we were one of the favourites to go down One way or another a decision has to be made fairly quickly after the season finishes and if that mea...

Re: Still the same gap in front of Hull
Hull still have most of the bottom sides to play at home and given their progress on the pitch under the new manager, I have had a punt on them to stay up at 11/4

Re: Boyd is wonderful.
No one would disagree he works his arse off and does great defensive work every time he turns out. The problem is his complete lack of pace to go past a man, his poor running off the ball in attacking positions where he does not make himself available enough, can't remember when he last put a decen...

Also has a little bit of technical quality as well. Or to put it another way, a Sean Dyche-type mid...

Dyche quote on SSN along the lines that we are not just buying for now, but for the future of the club Great respect to Ward and Boyd but a future left sided pairing of Robertson and Brady is something we could only dream about at the start of this season Add Gosling loan, and the end to a great month

We have to be realistic and accept that any other PL club (apart from Sunderland) will be able to offer higher wages than ourselves
The same also applies to Brady
