Woolford

[davidblade]

Hmm, interesting how opinion differs! I didn't think Woolford played all that bad.

Hate to think what you think is bad.
Can't run, can't shoot, can't cross, can't beat a man, can't control the ball.
What does he add.
Answer NOTHING

sorry i thought you meant flynn. one thing he does do is win just about every header from Longy's goal kicks. other than that though..
i thought he would be a really good signing.. strange one.

I think he's here for a pay packet, one of the dust bins, yes you can bounce the ball off him but don't exspect any input .

 

[CarlMcBlade]

If we consistently play bad. . . .We won't win enough.

 

[Jostein's Bandage]

Who? Woolwhat? An he plays for us, you say?

 

[Fulwood Blade]

If we are to now play 3-5-2, we should try Kieran Wallace at wingback.

Think we have had this conversation before about is he a full back or left sided midfield.

He just might be a natural wingback - was there ever a better wingback than Borbokis?

UTB

So the intent may have been 3-5-2, but frankly it felt like we were opting to play two left backs because of how woefully inadequate McEveley and Woolford are. Woolford rarely gets forward and he doesn't contribute a whole lot defensively. He made some interceptions so he can at least read the game reasonably but he's yet another player we have that specialises in nothing and is painfully slow. He managed to make a couple of passes from Reed look poor because he'd stopped his run for no reason.

Put him on a list of mediocre players who don't exactly deserve slating week in week for some of their individual performances out but are exactly the reason we're a mediocre mid-table side.

He's a shining example of our wasteful transfer policy. We sign Sharp and Brayford and the board tell us how great it is that we can compete for that calibre, Murphy leaves to mitigate one of them, and then we sign 20 Woolfords, and they scratch their head and wonder how we aren't going up again. Rinse and repeat as the overall quality of the side drops.

Sorry, McEveley was good saturday and has been good since he was reintroduced into the team.
And as this board knows all too well, I'm no fan of McEveley...

I wouldn't mind keeping him as cover for centre back and left back next season if he keeps it up while the end of the season

 

[PokerBlade]

He's a mediocre mid-table League One player at best. Our results aren't a mystery; they're a consequence of having a team filled with players of McEveley's ilk. The performances you've seen this season - that's his standard. Let him go at the end of the season and free up more space that Adkins (or whomever) might be able to fill with someone worth having.

Too many dust bins who want to just stand there while some one else dose the hard graft ......
