Tyrese or Tyreece?

How do you know he isn't considered for the first team, have you read the manager's mind, or are you a member of the background staff in contact with him.

He wasn't injured and he wasn't picked. Reminds me of when Bill Shankly dropped Tony Hately. When asked if he'd dropped Hately he replied that Hately is not injured and the team is at full strength.

Are you Collins's agent or something. Why are you defending a player who obviously doesn't have much skill and is basically a one touch player. There have always been quality one touch players, Haaland is one of the more successful ones, but they need decent first touch under pressure and be able to read the game to make the right run. I have never seen any evidence that Collins that Collins has either of these skills.

You really do Ramble, on where do you pluck these gems from you're a regular Billy no mates.

Darren Moore was the worst player I have ever seen with the ball at his feet but he had a very good career in football. No player at League 1 level will be anywhere near the full package. It's easy to point out deficiencies in players (or at least it's easy if you can actually recognise the player you are criticising). You hope their qualities outweigh their weaknesses and often that depends on the style of play and how they fit in with the players around them.

I doubt any fan thinks that the players in question are utterly fabulous in every way, just that some of the criticism is either plain silly or intended to irritate. Some fans have always got to have a hate figure in the team, about whom they are unwilling ever to say anything positive. That says more about them than the player.

Totally agree Vidal. I was no fan of Martin but he had certain attributes that I admired. He was an intelligent player for starters. He wouldn't fit in with Warnes work ethic though 🤣

Bradley has been a mainstay at clubs of our current level for 12 years so clearly has the attributes to contribute for us. He's had a poor start, but I still wager he'll play 30 games this season and will settle in to the team.

Martin was arguably our best player in the mid 10s so why wouldn't you like him. Of course I make allowances for the level we are playing at but it doesn't extend to players who can only control a football as well as me.

I liked the wardrobe he, was a good hold up player and scored more than, his fair share of goals. I don't believe in this, wouldn't fit into his style of football. I would have him back tomorrow?

Maybe we will go back in for Michael Smith at Sheff Wednesday if they strengthen up front. The rumours of Collins potentially going on loan to Shrewsbury persist around this part of the world. I don't know if Smith would be a significant upgrade on Collins or not. He did very well for them last season but then he was playing in a team that created a lot of chances.

Now you're talking, but Mr Warne doesn't think Martin is suitable for our hard running bunch of athletes.

Tyrese and Tyreece are both silly names but please let's move this back to the match thread.

Well you got 12 games out of TJJ, somewhat a success...
