That's my main worry if Pidge were to go. For all his faults, he can actually play almost every week and midweek as well. Most of our squad can barely manage 30 games a season.

Granted he's injury prone but if fit he walks into that side. I'm baffled given we've struggled for goals he's not had a look in under Curle.

al_bro Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Ideally we need two strikers and a defender. Losing Pidge and Dearnley would be a massive mistake IMO. As would signing another midfield player. Pidge may not be quick but he's solid in the air. Dearnley hasn't really had a chance this season.

I think we saw on Saturday a captains performance at the back from Pidge, yes he's prone to errors but we have to remember he's a div 2 center back and no higher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris15Arm Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 For everyone's criticism of him, if we lose pierrgianni we will ship goals for fun. And he's one of only a few that actually works hard for the club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Bosnian Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 In two minds about Pidge, I think he's massively overrated and if we can cash in then great, it's replacing him that could be a problem given we have Mo as Sporting Director. We could end up with someone from the bloody Romanian 4th Division instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big problem with players like Dearnley now is our cap on the size of the squad. He spends more time not playing than playing, and when he's not playing it means we end up with the likes of Blyth. If we had unlimited squad size then it makes sense to give him time. But can we afford the luxury of a player who has never managed more than 15 appearances a season, most of which weren't even a full game? Who plays all the time when he isn't playing? Saying that, it would probably make more sense to let e.g Badan go to make space for another striker than Dearnley... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BP1960 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 We will probably replace him with another defensive midfielder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maximus1267 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Think selling Pidge is a bad idea unless its for money they cant turn down, but it wont will it, and they must have a replacement too. Pidge has his doubters and I think most of the time the critics are being harsh and unrealistic. We will see but nothing surprises me anymore, if we sell pidge today but AL says in the meeting that he's selling up for a realistc price then I suppose the its been a great day.

I understand what you are saying but Dearnley has been on the bench all season which suggests he's fit but probably not match fit. Only way he's going to get match fit is game time something Curle seems reluctant to do. I'm baffled why? Whenever he's had a run in the side he's provided something nobody else in the squad can do. Love to see him in a 2 up top with Luamba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
