Maybe they’re trying to whip up a bidding war! Aren’t they selling Wharton for 20m?

TheExile Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 US journos reporting Blackburn have offered better payment structure than us so they will pick McGuire up. Suspect things change quickly with these things but seems like more frustration. Would take Collins though as he looked championship quality last season and may just need a new lease of life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Early, accurate shots. So far the kid generally hasn't got that yet. Tends to snatch at them, sometimes when he's got teammates ready for a tap-in. I think he'll be a top player. I just hope some of it will be for us. For now it's good to have the excitement! Edited January 30 by Owling_Wolf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither does Windass this season. He's wasted the most shots this season, as well as taking a few where an easy layoff was available. DG has 2 good goals and seems to be getting more confident every game, he's going to start ripping teams up soon and offers us something that could surprise better teams, whereas Windass is a bit of a flat track bully, only really performs when we're already on top.

As I said re. Windass, in the past. Until DR came, it was an uphill battle for Windass when he played: a terrible team and awful tactics & positions. From what I remember JD virtually didn't play. Hopefully JD will learn the 'when and when nots' with us and rapidly. We've apparently got good coaches. He needs to be the difference for us right now: we haven't any time to spare. There's a reason why opponents have started to kick the shit out of him. (Southampton were shocking!) DR also needs to figure out what's gone wrong with Musaba recently.

Tewksbury Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 2 minutes ago, Owling_Wolf said: DR also needs to figure out what's gone wrong with Musaba recently. The Bannan/Windass/Johnson left midfield triangle is what's wrong with Musaba, with a bit of Palmer thrown in. Get them together and they only pass ro each other, unless it's a floater into the box. Gassama has been making his own luck, but Musaba (and Valentin) has been in loads of space numerous times and has been ignored in favour of squeezing a ball to one of the other amigos. He's only fell off since those three were reunited. Musaba is built for running, but gets the ball in tight spots constantly, so has Gassama, when they should be played in with the ball in front. Musaba has 4 goals and 2 assists, so his decision making can't be that bad, also has the best Goals to xG and assists to xA, showing he's taking the opportunities. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owling_Wolf Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 (edited) Musaba was a major part of our excellent December. Since then - and I readilly accept the better quality opponents - he's another one that runs far with the ball but refuses to pass: probably even more than JD. Btw, Johnson has been superb since his return, including in a rôle that doesn't suit him at times. Edited January 30 by Owling_Wolf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
