What has Donovan done wrong?

[Trigger Blade]

To answer the original post “Intergalactic Laxative” was pretty bad

Wonderful! I’ve just been sat thinking of a Donovan song that would fit, before I saw your post and came up with the same one. It wasn’t just bad, it was a shocker!

Well I'm not overly impressed with Wilder so I guess we're at an impasse

I'm sure Wilder wont be losing any sleep.

Mellow Yellow was really wrong. Just my opinion.

Does Donovan offer more than Chong and BBD?

Yes.

Is this a serious question?

Bbd has barely offered anything all season.

 

[bertieblade]

I agree just cannot understand why Wilder cannot see it

How do we know, he’s not been given a chance!

I understand the call for the lad to start but I also understand why Wilder's wanting to use the more experienced Chong whilst we try and turn a corner and move in the right direction.

The way Donovan was used today was spot on and in essence it's an easier role to do- carry the ball, relieve pressure, win fouls high up and potentially create a moment to kill it, which he nearly did but One skied it.

Fair point, but it seemed to me that we might not have needed anyone to relieve the pressure had Donovan started over Chong because we'd have had more than a one-goal lead. We got into so many good positions that Chong wasted with a poor touch, wrong decision, or cross to nobody.

How has that experience worked out for us so far this season?

BBD and Chong must be the least productive 'wingers' in the league.

We need to get dog shit wilder gone asap.
The way he treats talented loans it disgraceful.
Clubs will see this and we'll be frozen out.
And who would blame them with this dinosaur in charge.
Just walk wilder , you talentless dog shit dinosaur.

And yet he speaks so well of you, knowsnout

I'd be recalling Donovan if he was my player as he is not getting the game time he deserves, got to be a better bet than BBD who went missing the whole game at Portsmouth. Still Wilder doesn't like young players with skill and pace.

What game time does he "deserve"?

To be clear, I think that as things stand he should be starting over 1 of Chong or BBD, but I am not privy to what is happening in training or how his overall fitness has been in recent weeks.

It's also worth remembering that he was sent out on loan for a reason. Loans aren't just about playing time, they are also about absorbing new environments, training and fighting for a place on the teamsheet.
