So people want a passing game ?

Being realistic can't see any "passing game" taking shape unless the most creative midfield players return to full fitness and lots of work on the training ground is done.

Again, unrealistic unfair expectations !

That said Hurst says he WANTS to play a passing style, but guess he hasn't said he WILL.
Me ? I ideally WANT us to play like Brazil, sometimes you've got to be realistic...

However FWIW I think LJL is quite a good passer of the ball !

End of the day why can't fans just support the manager whatever style or players he chooses ?


Not sure about that, did you watch the World Cup?

We could sign McNulty to perform the Hulk role!

Coming back to the LJL saga, I kind of see where Old Codger is coming from.

Do fans see lack of goals and instantly think the so called "main man" LJL is to blame ?
If so, I think this is the mistake they're making.
Course he'll score but for me, he's not in the side to score goals.

He's TARGET/HOLD UP MAN to provide and hopefully chip in.
If Town couldn't win would you think Neilson or Disley were at fault ?

As for being an "athelete" and not a footballer, "sticking goals away" isn't the only thing any footballer ever needs.

His vision, passing, tackling, commendable attitude (many players might have folded by now !), workrate (in addition to the very many PHYSICAL attributes) play don't get a mention  

Are people not paying attention or just refusing to accept it's not all about goals  ?

Quoted from jungleland
He could win if he would drop Lewis

I'd suggest there could be "ball sticking up top" factors that might even make the situation appear a whole lot worse !
Who knows but it's risk.
But then it's "oh we need passing" like we've had the creative players available to work on it, let alone do it.

Perhaps fans need to make their minds up what the REAL issue is (e.g. we need a goalscorer alongside him ?) or preferably just get a grip on reality.

It doesnt just apply to these three games though does it ?

He has been first on the team sheet for far too long,the lad needs taking out the firing line for his own sake too.


The question is when the strikers are fully fit and a full team to choose from will LJL name still be on that team sheet?

Also can anyone remember the last time LJL was not in the starting eleven? (Barring injury)


Grimsby and proud!

Suspended for the Huddersfield game, cook played out of his skin, then Lewis back in the next game and cook dropped

Cook did reasonably well in the Huddersfield game but let's not kid ourselves he was brilliant. An 'assist' for Disley's goal but that came from a blocked shot which looped up into the air. But for that, Cook played well enough but didn't test the keeper at all that I recall.

At the time I actually thought he'd perhaps get a start in the next game, but not to be. I think the rumours indicated that he didn't work hard enough in training? In general, I simply think he just wasn't good enough or perhaps consistent enough and this is why he was released. I do agree he probably ought to have had a bit more game time last season, however, though I was not a fan of his.

From what I've seen of Hulk we could get Brian Blessed to play there and he'd still have the same effect!

That's fine, that's your opinion . Now your last sentence you state you wasn't a fan of Cook....that's the same as the negative ones on here now not being a fan of LJL . Just saying like.....
