Can see him doing a Boden. Maybe not as many, but definitely double figures. They’ll play him in his proper position and benefit from his finishing ability.
Honestly, if he’s improved like Tranmere fans say and he’s still got his legs, I’d give him 2 years, it’s the only way we’d get him to come back down here. Otherwise like you say, he’ll find a league club easily.
Agreed, I’d have him back. Haven’t seen too many Tranmere games, only really the game where Peterborough thumped them and he pressed self-destruct to land one on Maddison.. but who hasn’t thought about doing that.
It’s like that retrospective panel that was put together to combat diving. It was strong to start with and being enforced, but now you don’t even hear about it and there was plenty of diving again last season.
If they continued the shirt pulling punishment, then Chris Smalling would’ve given...
Now I understand why Rutherford gets mentioned on every single Red Passion thread..
Also, I’ve read the name Rutherford consecutively so many times that it doesn’t even look like a real name to me anymore.
The FA Trophy final vs Ferriby is where I first started to see major flaws in Manny Smith. Denton dominated him all game. They’d lump it forward to Denton, he’d hold it up with ease and ship it out to the left side for that winger (whose name alludes me) that ripped Tomassen a new one.
Jay Harris getting promoted from League 2 (and being an integral part) just baffles me. In his last few months here he looked like he was done. His legs looked shot, he’d mistime tackles, the game would pass him by, a complete shadow of the player he once was. Now I wish we didn’t get rid..
He ripped us a new one at their place and very few strikers do that to Lawlor and Pearson. Didn’t even warm up either. I think he could get a few next season if he has quality around him.
So far we’re looking at..
GK: Rob Lainton
RB: Need Óne (Armand’s Brother)
CB: Jake Lawlor
CB: Shaun Pearson
LB: James Jennings
DMF: Need Óne (Armand’s other brother)
MF: Luke Young
MF: Devonte Redmond
RW: Leighton McIntosh
ST: JJ Hooper
LW: Mark Harris
Then there’s the players that will be...
I wondered where Holman had disappeared to, surely too good for that level. Wilkin signing him is odd though. He took him on loan here and hardly played him and on the rare occasion he did, it was out of position.
Because they need someone the fans will stick with if it all goes to shit, with no way of salvaging it with transfers. Being a Chelsea legend, they will be hoping this will be the case, even though this very rarely happens. Lose 5 games in a row and fans will want you out, legend or not.
