Done is better than Lafferty

Wasn't there so can't comment, but will watch BP and see.

However, I will be very surprised if that's the case. I will speculate now that perhaps he put a few decent balls in and that will be "evidence" of him being a better wing back.....but ignoring Laffertys' defensive ability and the fact he's played just about every game for quite a while and may just be a bit jaded.

I don't get the problem some folk have with the kid.
 
Left sided defender playing at left wing back. Consistently part of the most form team in the division.

But let's look at needlessly dropping him for a left sided forward.

I saw someone on the shoutbox yesterday say "I hate fucking hate Lafferty".

The fuck?o_O
 
That's where he started his career as well.
I'm not sure, Lafferty is steady and has played at the highest level, he doesn't create as much as I'd want from a wingback but I can't imagine Done defending as well.p

Nothing, except he isn't very good.
 
Laffs had an off day yesterday, I'd agree with that. Fortune turned him too easy. Laffs is a real steady LB / LWB and it's no coincidence that we are very solid since he joined the club.

Done did a job for the team and dos well. Don't forget that Fortune was subbed 15 mins from time. I said TFFT at the time he went off. He was a real threat for them.

I like Done - he's a valuable member of this group. He just needs a goal, is all. Even if it bounces off his cock
 
Always one that's a scapegoat, even when we can't feasibly be doing any better at the moment.

Lafferty isn't as adventurous getting forward, but I can't really remember any glaring errors from him. His delivery of the ball is alright and he's been solid all season.

If this lad from Man Utd is as good as everyone says he is then we'd be silly not to give him a try there, but let's not be silly and stick bloody Done in there after how good we've been.
 
Yes Done is a far superior player in that position... he proved it erm ... last season ... funnily enough at Southend United!!!......where he got totally embarrassed....

Some people need to eat more fish... helps with the memory apparently

There's no problem with Lafferty. That's why Tufty has signed him permanently from the Premier League.

We are in S2, the land where mediocre triers reign supreme. The Runarounders are obsessed with Runaround Nogoals. They want him shoehorned into the team at all costs. He is far more important to them than Sheffield United.

Last season, when Done was so ineffective at wing-back that it was like playing with ten men, they were bleating about him being played out of position!

Not at all sure Done is the answer at LWB.

But I'm not sure about Lafferty either. Only weak (ish) link in yesterday's line up.

All about opinions. Most would agree that Done was not a success at wing-back last season, and it is clear that our results have improved beyond recognition since Lafferty came in to play that position. I like Done, but am not convinced that he is a wing-back. But Wilder and Knill have got performances out of players that last year would have been unthinkable. Let's trust their decisions - they have earned the right to our respect.

Laffs is a more orthodox left back. But he's solid defensively. Not every player can be like Duffaldo!
 
I guess Wilder must be clueless then, get him out!
 
Done can't tackle though, maybe going forward he might be a bit better but defensively he's a lot worse. gives away a lot of free kicks, pretty sure he'll have one of the highest percentages of fouls given per tackles made. Thats why he was a mediocre LB in this league at best.

As a left wing back. Proven yesterday.

ermmm - No - that is why Lafferty is having a medical tomorrow and sadly Done is being slowly frozen out of the team and is left with bit part positions as yesterday (which WAS explained to Done by CW)

If you listened to CW's pre and post match interviews, you might learn something.

I'm not Laffertys biggest fan but he does a job, we're winning and I trust Wilder with his judgement of players and tactics.
 
I think people are forgetting that Lafferty is being asked to play a position in which he isn't familiar with (left wing back). He's used to playing in a flat back 4, in which he is a very good league one defender. He's doing more than ok for me and will get better as he gets more used to the attacking part of the role. Let's leave him alone and get behind the lad. He gives 100% every game, and any player that does that will always get my backing!! UTB
 
Done defensively is a complete liability. Absolutely ridiculous to suggest he's better than Lafferty. I don't mind him filling in there as an emergency, and against Northampton when they'd given up attacking it was a shrewd tactical move to bring him on. But as a first choice option? Nonsense.

Regardless of the OP I knew you wouldn't pass up on the chance to slag Done off. Your like a broken record. We get you don't like him. Give it a fuckin rest man. Your beginning to sound pathetic now
 
Whilst Done can't get a game in his best position he's an ideal player to have off the bench as LWB as others have said against teams that don't attack much, which to be honest is nearly every side in the league. This is a testament to how far we've come in such a short timescale.

Lafferty will be better in a flat back four which is probably the main reason for CW signing him as I think he will get back to that formation next season, especially if we're in the Championship.

The wingback position is the hardest position to play from my experience and will be taking its toll on them both, especially Freeman who is like a machine at the moment. This is why we could do with recruits in these positions, it's very important because of how we play.

I think we can certainly improve on Lafferty but he's more than sufficient for now.

Your obsession with Done is pathetic.

Your obsession with Done is more important to you than the success of the team.

And pretending you're right.
 



Done is not a starter at the moment but what a useful lad to have around; can play up top (and cause a contribution with his effort and running - granted no goals), can play wide left and also do a job left wing back. He is a really handy player to have on the bench. He is not better than Lavery at the moment who offers more and is not better than Lafferty who has been an underrated part of the run. Still, I like having Done on the bench and he will play a role in the run in.

This runaround thing Pinchy keeps throwing up is boring now. He could do more and quality wise may not be good enough (especially if we go up) but for now I wont criticise players like him who give their all when they play. Wish we had more runaround players the last few year. It is not like we have had much quality anyway. Now the quaity is getting better players like him and maybe even Basham (one I have been ciritcal of but recognise his strengths) will probably not be regulars but they are really useful lads at this level and play quite a bit.
