SUFC zeroes to heroes

[Inter_blade83]

Although people tend to forget this for some reason, Coutts was really poor from January 2015 to August 2016. And by his own admission he wasn't trying very hard.

Berge was poor initially. Agree re the others. McBurnie was ok in his first season, Madine fine thoughout. Robinson I suppose is arguable but his bad spell didn't come at the start of his Blades career.

Robinson has always been gash. Some people just enjoy a big tackle every now and again, and he provides one or two a game.

Poor positionally, awful pace, unnecessary fouls, dreadful distribution, always has a mistake in him, and he's a bad centre back and worse left back.

He's lower end championship, and we should never have brought him in as a Prem team at the time.

One or two tackles a game and a long throw isn't good enough.

James McAtee, started his first few games like a lost child (especially that Luton game) but soon became one of our most important players.

Thread 'McAtee pants down'

Aug 26, 2022

Go on, I’ll go first. Citeh have had our pants down with his lad,

He’s not ready for the Championship. He’s too weak and wet behind the ears, with zero league experience behind him. He needs a league one or league two loan to get some experience.

The new Foden he ain’t. And if he was City wouldn’t be letting the lad leave, and certainly not to us.

Barring winning us a pen vs Sunderland and passing the ball to a teammate thereafter for the first time, he was similarly abject. Tonight he’s been way off it, could have been sent off for two bookings and couldn’t even take a corner.

Going back abit further I think Alan Quinn, Bromby and particularly Geary gained alot of respect after joining as Zeros.
