AVFCforever1991 Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Competition for places is good.. Hopefully this should spur him on.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarethRDR Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Hoping Joe will turn out to be a slow burner. Cut out the mistakes, work on his positioning and strength and we'll at least have a competent, if not outstanding player on our hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 He needs to be on a serious strengthening programme over the summer. If he can come back next season and not be brushed aside so easily he might be able to hold his own in this league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa89 Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Might be one of those left back sbetter as a left winger where his defensive weaknesses aren't so easily exposed. Although he might get better with experience too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cliffy Biro Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Dont know, havent heard anything about injuries tbh but he was his usual awful self against one of the german clubs judging on the highlights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 He's injured. However, his absence seems to be an excuse for him to be slagged off yet again. I hope this scapegoatism of him disappears before the start of the season. Especially comments like this, Dont know, havent heard anything about injuries tbh but he was his usual awful self against one of the german clubs judging on the highlights. Which just isn't true. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webbs Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 It's a new season, people should wait until he gets a few games under his belt to start slagging him off. Even if his performances aren't bad people will still find faults. I really want him to step up a notch this season and prove everyone wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panto_Villan Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 (edited) He was injured. He was due to play the game before last but picked up a knock in training. Was sent swimming instead. A friend of mine knows his girlfriend, so I get all the inside gossip on him...but I kinda hope she moves on to a player I actually care about. I tried to suggest Lowton or Westwood, they look like the kinda guy who would treat a woman right (no homo).

Webbs Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Would you say Luna is ahead of him at the moment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panto_Villan Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 (edited) At the moment, yes, but that's only because he's injured To be honest I wasn't told and didn't ask - I'd be surprised if even Joe himself knew that at this stage. I think they'll probably only find out when the first game comes around. The gossip I have: he's got lots of money, has just bought a house in Birmingham and has a couple of (allegedly vile) dogs. And he's injured at the moment, but that's been reported in the press already I think. JulieB I am not.

Kingfisher Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 He needs to get fit and play more than most this preseason I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avfc1982 Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 He needs to get fit and play more than most this preseason I think. I'd rather he didn't play at all. Hopefully Luna will turn out to be a decent fullback and we can relax a bit when the ball heads down our left hand side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
