After watching his 30 minute cameo appearance v Leeds, it'll be quite some time to come.
Peaks is out of contract in summer.
The football would have been dire and we’d have finished bottom.
There have been numerous posts that our current team is one of the worst we’ve had, but it’d beat that bunch 8 or more times out of 10
That's the best answer yet and I wholeheartedly concur
smithies definitely.
Putting aside the wastes issue
I think the real question is who might have done better than the current lot.
I’d say both Nelson and Flint would have done better than Simpson and Vaulks better than Sawyers or Ojo. Collins started scoring goals for Derby at a time when Watters couldn’t take the few chances on offer,.
The even bigger question is still whether Colwill, Davies, Sang , Bagan and Denham are going to be given a real chance to prove their worth. I suspect not and that maybe because they aren’t good enough. Arguably Harrris has had enough opportunities.
I'm not sure there's any really you could argue they should have stayed. Think smithies was more a wage issue, Collins maybe, considering we only had watters.
I also don't think many of them would have done any worse.
You know what you get from some of them and they would have known each other at least.
Would have been delaying the inevitable overhaul though.
No regrets over 2022. But we should have signed Junior Hiolet to a one-year deal in 2021.
Wasn’t in the squad over the last month or so
Don’t think he played a minute of 1st team since he’s been there. 3rd choice and as far as I can see, only been on the bench once or twice allseason
Shame. Remember that Brian Murphy we had. Played 6 games for us in about 3 years. Played 40 odd games between 2009 and 2020 pretty much his whole career.
Barely 1 season worth of games in his career. Crazy
Yeah I think that was expected though, I don’t think anyone expected him to go as first choice.
Great article I read a while ago (may have been in The Athletic) about these keepers who have spent a large chunk of their careers being the emergency 3rd choice/training keeper for big prem teams.
The money is really good but obviously not for everyone… was really interesting reading about the conflict they felt between playing every week down the league pyramid for a fraction of the wage vs being in a situation being paid far more but having basically no chance of game time.
Allowed plenty of time for him to be in George and Mildred
I think Wayne Hennessey is a good example of this. Goes to Forest as 2nd choice, 1st choice gets injured so they bring in Navas. He’d have had loads of games at a Championship level. 7 league games in the last 4 years & 29 caps during the same time
Yeah, Hennessey is definitely in danger of becoming that kind of keeper at this stage of his career although Navas and Henderson both on loan and presumably would have no interest in re-signing if they go down, so you may see him starting for them next year.
Thought playing him at the WC was a strange decision when Ward was playing regularly and well for Leicester (at the time at least), think that lack of game time really cost him during that moment of madness against Iran. Having played in goal for many years it's the position where if you haven't done it in anger for a while, you really feel the rust and it takes a good run of games to get your positioning and timing back, at least in my experience.
I was a GK, fully paid member of the union, still am. Fans and outfield players will never understand us, the game within a game!
Vaullks would have been more use than Sawyers, Rinhomota or Adams (although it's not his fault he's been injured).
But then Eli King would have been better than Sawyers and probably Rinhomota.
Easy with hindsight, though
Surprised so many have said Vaulks, even with this poor squad I couldn’t see him making more than a handful of appearances if that.
Rinhomota is definitely far better than Vaulks and so is Sawyers, though he has been disappointing overall.
You don't think Vaulks's performances for us were superior to what we have witnessed this season from Sawyers and Rinhomota? Genuine question.
Vaulks has a better long throw and that's about it.
Sawyers has had some decent games playing deeper.
Rino has been anonymous the majority of the season.
If Vaulks is so good, how come he's in League One? Surely a gaggle of Championship teams would be beating down his door to sign him for free last summer?
surely a bait thread? weeding out the gormless idiots that don't understand football
all trash that shouldve gone sooner
Agree with pretty well all of that. I was no fan of Vaulks. I simply don't think that the two replacements have been any better or even his equal.
Our inability to score for most of the season has been mainly due to our abysmal midfield play. Sawyers has looked disinterested and both him and Rinhomota have struggled to pass the ball to someone in the same coloured shirt as themselves.
No I don’t, I think he’s an awful player.
Sawyers and Rino have been disappointing but still better than him.
