Sulberto21 Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 His stint at RB has had the desired effect in that his passing was very good yesterday. That slip though was a thing of beauty lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Konsa is 22 I think. I'm 31. I have very little recollection of Barry Venison. I'm pretty sure Ezri Konsa has never heard of Barry Venison.

Barry Venison was known as/ basically the football version of Pat Sharp (Fun House/ Pat & Mick) both had mullets. I went St James Park when Barry Venison scored first goal against us in 1995. Only 30 Villa fans there that day (That's all Newcastle would allow, we made so much noise in small block for Villa fans) It was when St James Park was being expanded! 2 of them was me and my mate Gav. We had gone every away game for 3 seasons at the time.

Who knows if he's still on their radar. I rate him the same as Targett, can have the odd good game but also struggles at times. Think it will be better for his career if he stays with us, plays 40 times in championship and gets the confidence of being a key play and we come straight back up and he's more confident to take on the premier league.

Konsa is a future England international according to Smith and Hause is more than capable back up. I think they are good options to have as a newly promoted side Mings-Engels looked decent at start of the season...however clean sheets were still as rare as they are now and we were conceding 2s and 3s on a regular basis which was costing us points that look very crucial now. Just out of interest SGC, how many goals would we have conceded in the league if we had a rubbish defence, 100? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
