    Dwight McNeil

    Whats does SCA mean? Dont think its as simple as just comparing player to player, you have to consider that one team finished 11th, with enough points to usually get you 7th) and the other finished just above the drop zone. Also the teams style of play, for example the same set of players struggling under Bruce suddenly became very attacking and dominating games under Smiths tactics. Sean Dyche is more similar to Bruceball, I bet Jacks stats under the 2 managers were extremely different in the same season under Bruce and then Smith. I'm not sure there's a fair way to compare players in differing scenarios using stats, but using my eyes I see El Ghazi as wasteful and McNeil being good under pressure with a fine passing range. I think you put McNiel in a better team (one that likes to attack) with better players around him and you see his stats improve tenfold.

    Dwight McNeil

    All El Ghazi ever does is cut inside and shoot, and occasionally one will fly onto the top corner and everyone thinks hes amazing for a few weeks. I find him the most frustrating player in our squad, theres a reason we are looking for players in his position. So many times you see someone free who he can square the ball to for a good chance but he messes it up getting tackled trying to cut inside or blasting it into row z. The frustrating thing is that he shows glimpes of composure (for example when taking penalties) but he lacks this compsure in open play for some reason. If he could learn to calm down in attacking situations he might see what the better players see, but he always seems to be in a rush without realising whats going on around him. I'd love to see his chance creation stats as I believe they will be extremely low. Dwight McNeil actully has the ability to pick passes out and I think he is one of the best at mid to long range passers in the league, rarely loses possession and is quite tricky as well. Dont think hes quick as El Ghazi, but he definitely a better footballer, of that theres no doubt.
  3. Does anyone know if the package includes away games for the u23/u18 live games? They only have the one camera angle anyway, so it's only a matter of taking just 1 camera along, so I don't see why not. Guess they'd have to have some kind of agreement with the home side though, but shouldn't be difficult for these games. It's not like there's a million people looking to watch these that the hosting side would lose money.
  4. Smart TVs have browsers, if not you can download one from your built in app store I watch all the youth games and pre match pressers etc this way directly from AVTV, much easier than connecting your laptop!
  5. Sorry, "Is".. just my way of talking
  6. Some bloke was just on Talksport saying our interest was real, and hes a player who reminds him of Gary Shaw Ive probably got this wrong but Timothy Vicar or something, who he is I've no idea
  7. Yeah but so have we, and we haven't had it since '66
  8. That leaked lineup is very negative, only 2 attacking players in the team.. the first 65 minutes are going to be very dull. Set up not to lose rather than go for the win.
  9. Didn't they have it as recently as 2002? Then again, USA had it as recently as '94 and have managed to get it again so soon.
  10. I fear the stunt pulled by English, Spanish and Italian clubs with the failed super league has left a bad taste in the footballing world, so can't see it being awarded to any of these countries for a long time.
  11. Don't think it warrants 2 polls lol, just a suggesting going forwards to get a more accurate feeling of people's thoughts.
  12. 11th to 17th is a bit of a large spectrum compared to the other options. Choosing that option covers both of; similar position to last year narrowly missing the top ten, also surviving on the last day like the season before.

    Tom Heaton

    Think he started his career there, so is probably a fan.. meaning he'd rather sit on their bench than ours. Personally I think he's better than Henderson and De Gae (on current form) so he probably feels he's got a good chance of being the number 1
  14. Buendia is a class player whos proven how good he is over the last few years, ESR might turn out to be the next Franny Jeffers for all we know. I'd rather get the better player than a signing that just upsets a group of fans, buts thats just me - I'm more interested in what happens on the pitch than "my **** is bigger than yours" statements
  15. dunno, if you asked at the start of the window, you can have one of Buendia or ESR.. I'd choose Buendia all day long
  16. Wouldnt even be our biggest signing this summer.. or did you sleep through the Buendia signing?
  17. It was not tagged, about 6 people commented on that fact but it seems everything after page 1 was deleted without being read then. A name like Remi is gender neutral. One poster mentioned he felt clickbaited. Can an ignore thread option be added, much like the ignore poster option so it doesn't show up for those not interested?
  18. He only looks half decent when the team around him is playing well, bit of a nothing player. Sideways passes and doesnt get stuck in either. Baffled me when he was consistently getting picked for England. Hourihane is the better player for me, at least he bangs in goals and gets lots of assists.
  19. So what you're saying is that there isn't enough interest in it so it would get hidden out of sight as no one would go there specifically to chat about it? I rest my case
  20. Not really, the youth players can progress and actually play for the main team. The women's team is a separate entity. Wish the women's team well, but until the day comes that teams must be mixed, I'm not interested in it and I too feel it should be kept separate from the main board. That's not sexist before anyone jumps on my comment. Don't think there's enough interest, might have been better having just one team serving the whole region with input from villa blues Albion and wolves all contributing to one women's team and getting decent crowds in. Rather than 200 fans each at each match.
  21. "Scale of improvement is 2 to 10 years" What does that mean? With all the strategic planning as well Sounds like they want to marry any developments with European qualifications maybe Or maybe they want to wait and see how big the season ticket waiting list gets, and might a see a new stadium as a more viable option - which would mean any current developments would be wasted money.
