sjk2008 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 My two penneth following the Celtic game: First Half Sutton looked alright against toilet opposition but looks to be a bit of a clogger. Quite slow. McGeahey was decent and is actually much quicker than he looks. Very vocal on the pitch which explains why he was captain. Jameson still as stiff as a board. Squad player at best. Furman decent showing. Neat & tidy, great assist, one bad ball across his own box. The #4 was way off it, lost possession a few times and just didn’t look on the same wavelength as the others. That ex-Chesterfield lad looked alright. Confident on the ball, but I wouldn’t say he stood out. Lavery made a few decent runs without getting the service, except from a lovely Furman pass and it was a great finish tbf. Second Half Pierganni & Hart looked solid enough. Not sure Hart is a CB though. Fage - as usual - offered nothing. The ex-Weds winger looked a handful. Would like to see him again. Took his goal excellently. Wasn’t overly impressed with the Norwich lad - Saul? Danns got about the pitch well considering his age, vocal, decent on the ball. His experience might be a little bit of what we need. Dearnley not as sharp as we’ve seen. Snatched at some of his shots, did force a good save at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Sinnott2 Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 We can't possibly sign Danns. He was released from Halifax after struggling to get in their side all season. We haven't sunk that low yet surely... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sooner keep the young Norwich lad who's passing was very good and what we need to control a game. Reminded me of Declan Rice..and he plays for England.

Worcester Owl Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 I was a critic of Rice, but his performances in the Euros, especially v Italy, have won me round. Shame he went off, injured/knackered maybe, I thought he was our best player in the final. I still don't think England need both him and Phillips in midfield, but I'm getting way off topic now......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BP1960 Posted July 14, 2021 Author Share Posted July 14, 2021 Another reason for signing Furman is he he has a wealth of experience to help Callum Whelan become a better player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobledgersheart Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Furman looked OK last night so I'd offer him a 6 month stint. The left winger looked good on Saturday, not so good last night, but we're short of lefties so I'd take him. No. 2 impressed with the way he held onto the ball and I'd definitely offer him a 2 year deal. Of the others I wouldn't go overboard on any, although Lavery took his goal well.

Don't think Furmam is the man for this. Whelan needs somebody who will run all day and loves a tackle, aswell as being able to play, so that Whelan doesn't have to worry about stuff not coming off and us getting hit on the break.

Monty Burns Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 That being said l'd still sign him, especially if we are going to be playing 352 (or 433 or 4231 or all three interchanged). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly looked older last season the way he was playing. I dont think we would have to beg him to come from being on the bench most of the season for someone in our league. Dont think I'd be excited by his signing though. Looked past it last couple times I've seen him I think he could start games rather than coming off the bench and bring on a sub around the hour mark.

The Italians managed to play a couple a lot older at the highest level. Furman's fitness and attitude looked very good to me at Stalybridge.

Monty Burns Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 and he was playing against stalybridge. If he wants peanuts get him in, him Whelan and Saul in a three would probably work against most in this league with a solid nasty defence and some speed up top..

He was a proper gentleman Mr Wilkins. Think I remember him bossing a game at Qpr when he was well into his 30s. Paul Gerrard debut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
