Doyle Vs Murphy - Who do we miss more?

[Grecian2000]

Similar players to me alongside Bobby Ford, Mark Rankine and Jonathan Hunt. Doyle somehow got away with it for 5 years while the others were bombed out.

Mmmm, and how long do you think Fordy I was stealing a wage as "first player on the team sheet" before said bombing out.

Best part of 5 years and over 150 games we had to wait for St Michael of Tonge to see him off.

cant get rid of players who only played half a season

if thats if we dont go up this season then get rid

So just to check I’m understanding this right, you believe that if we don’t go up, we should get rid of Adams, Done, Brayford, Freeman and Basham and we won’t miss them on the grounds that they haven’t got us up?

And you really don’t believe we missed the likes of Fjortoft, Marcelo, Holdsworth, Stuart, Devlin, Brown, Beattie, Borbokis, Evans, Williamson, Lowton, Quinn, McDonald, Blackman, Maguire etc? Just because we weren’t promoted over the course of a season when they were in the team?

Really? Seriously? Come On?

We absolutely miss Murphy and to an extent we miss Doyle. The difference is, in League 1, we can’t just go out and get a like for like (or better) replacement for Murphy. All we can do is try to turn rough diamonds like Adams into as good or better players whereas where Doyle is concerned, we could and should have signed a better player in a similar mould to fill the void.

OF COURSE if we dont get up with them get in players good enough to get us out
If we get out , what will we do , probably get rid of half anyway for better players as some will argue they arent good enough for the championship
we had to get rid of most of your other list as they were on wages we couldnt afford, like any club would thats relegated

ffjortoft how did he get in there , going back a bit

No brainer Murphy is playing at a team high up in the Championship and getting MOM awards.

M-o-M last game, I suppose in your eyes Woolford is a much better player eh ? Your defending of anything to do with SUFC is bordering on the ridiculous.

not seen him cant say

We're crying out for a battling leader in the middle. We have been for several years, even when we employed Michael Doyle.

 

[Alfreton14Blade]

Alf, so I still need to defend him do I?
Leave the bloke alone, you know we do miss him out there on the field.

Ey up, Chips. See that you've extended the range for your MDAS recruitment drive

I really cannot believe that you maintain that if a team does not get promoted, every member of that team can be moved on and will not be missed. Every year when we’ve sold our best player they have been missed. If we still had McDonald and Maguire in this squad, we would have absolutely not need to move for Burn and Hammond.

If we still had Murphy, we wouldn’t have had to play the mediocre (being kind there) Woolford in the last 2 games. If we’d been able to keep Lowton, we wouldn’t have had to prat about with crap like McMahon, Westlake and Alcock at RB. If we’d kept Blackman we wouldn’t have had to endure Jonathan Forte up front. It’s ridiculous to suggest that players who were bought by clubs higher up the pyramid won’t be missed by a league 1 club on the grounds that that 1 player alone didn’t get the club promoted.

Are you seriously telling me we wouldn’at have a better chance of promotion if our team looked like this?

-------------------Howard

Lotwon-----Maguire—Edgar—Harris

Murphy----McDonald--Coady—Quinn

---------------Sharp—Blackman

Look at that midfield and compare it to ours and see if you can repeat your point with a straight face.

If a team fails to go up, they need to assess the weaknesses that prevented them from going up, not move on the players who almost got them up in spite of those weaknesses. Do you really think we could move on Brayford, Adams and Done if we don’t go up and bring in “better players who can get us up”?

I’m pretty sure we won’t find a better right back than John Brayford whilst we’re playing in this league.

I never said get rid of every player , but if we fail again the majority will have to go
every season you turn over 8 to 13 players no matter what happens
if we go up , be assured there will be at least 10 new players
