Eddie_m'gurk Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Byfield won't have gone. Why would we terminate his spell when he can play tomorrow? Just poor editing. Maybe a new striker in the fold? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al_bro Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Tonights Chron we are favorites due to traveling so that rules out Ipswich, Blackpool and Notts but likely to sign for either Leeds or Hudds. Byfield now in the preview for tomorrow on the site If it rules out Notts it rules us out as well. Hull - Notts 91 miles. Hull to Oldham 89 miles. All depends where he lives though I guess.

JonesyOAFC Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Agreed, damn him and his decent contribution to the team. I wouldn't really call doing a few step-overs and looking generally disinterested a decent contribution to be honest. I'd play Davies and Alessandra over him anyday.

I'd play Davies and Alessandra over him anyday. Did he look disinterested? I'm not so sure. I've always thought he's put in a decent shift. He's done alright here. His goals record hasn't been much to shout about...but the midfield's been gashtastic for the last few games and he's had to create most chances for himself.

You know what, everyone forms their own opinion. Personally, I don't rate the guy at all. I think he looks dopey on the ball, he's got no strength, he's awful in the air, and he just doesn't look like scoring. As I say, i'd personally have Davies or Allesandra in the starting line-up before him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBigDog Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Byfield won't have gone. Why would we terminate his spell when he can play tomorrow? Just poor editing. The article should read as follows: On-loan striker Darren Byfield returns to League One Doncaster after completing his extended spell at Boundary Park which ends after tomorrow's game The question is - will he be back - not convinced as he has only scored the one goal but you never know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I say, i'd personally have Davies or Allesandra in the starting line-up before him. Although I am losing faith that he is going to start finding his shooting boots (although we’ve been poor he really ought to have had at least a few sniffs at goal), I reckon he’s covered more ground than anyone else in the team most times I’ve seen him, and a lot of it going pretty quickly.

I like Lewi, but I don't see that as a reason to dislike Byfield. I dont particularly dislike the guy, I just wonder why ( and as i did with Ormered) when we have so many strikers looking for games that we draft in champ strikers who are ou of form Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opinions4u Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Fed up of signing loan strikers who can't play a full 90 mins (Byfield, Ormerod, Constantine etc). Fed up of seeing Alessandra, our most creative front man, left out. Didn't mind Byfield for the first 60 minutes he was on the pitch, but after that his legs had gone. Ultimately most on this board know the problem lies in the chasm that sits between the midfield and the front two. Alessandra is the one player who has bridged that well this season.

opinions4u Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 (edited) Stoke have signed Beattie for £2.5m. Will Corney's 'trickle down' quote mean we get a trickle offer for Taylor? (I base that on no inside knowledge, friend of a barmaid who overheard something in a pub or anonymous posts on www.gingerrumour.com). Also, I haven't seen any ginger haired person talking to any other person in a red and white striped shirt in the Starbucks at the back of Tesco.

johnny punkster Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 (edited) what about that winger we had on trail from stoke(name escapes me)...wouldn't they be looking to offload ? could be worth another enquiry.

LaticsLegend Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 what about that winger we had on loan from stoke(name escapes me)...wouldn't they be looking to offload ? could be worth another enquiry. Demar Phillips? Stoke sounded like they were being wankers over that deal, and there he is rotting in their ressies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny punkster Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Demar Phillips.... won't his work permit shortly run out? only played 2 games for Stoke in the L cup. Might be of interest IF Taylor does leave....hope not but only 50 mins to Bramhall Lane from Lees. yep,thats the lad. the work permit issue could work to latics advantage. it will be in stoke city's interest ,as well as phillips's,to allow him to go,before it runs out.
