Way to go slagging off a young player in his first full season of professional football. Everything is new to him and bearing that in mind Tanner has done well and will be in a good position to kick on next season. The goal against Swansea gave us a glimpse of what he could be like and to dismiss him in the way some so called ‘experts’ have on here is disgraceful. Nothing better to do I suspect.
Our fans generally want youth players to come through but won’t give them any time to progress, they have to be instant hits.Quote:

They immediately went up the park and thankfully nothing came from it.Quote:

Tanner lacks any awareness and seems content to hold on to the ball for too long as if he’s undecided what to do, he’s run himself into too many deadends and always runs with his head down.
He’s going to make a living out of the lower leagues so don’t feel too sorry for him
He’s not a Championship level player and if he did turn it around and kicked on happy days I’ll be the first to eat humble pie
I just don’t see it myself
Tanner needs to swap with Davies over the summer. He is physically nowhere near it and has to play games week after week
Hes 22 soon ffs, hes not exactly a youth player. Youre not beyond criticsm at 21 nearly 22. Colwill has had far more critiscm from you and others since way before he was 21.Quote:

I’m a heretic anyway insomuch I don’t really care about the academy, U21s etc and buy my season ticket each year to watch first team pros entertain me. I don’t care where they come from or what nationality they are. They just have to bust a gut for the shirt in those 90 plus minutes. It’s not much to ask. Oh yeah. Some f*cking goals would be nice too.
Edit: Davies is the exception for me. Very exciting player. Love watching him play.
Seconded.Quote:

Colwill is worth more. much more.Quote:

Maybe a manager could play to the players strengths for once.
This ^^^^^^Quote:

Wrexham would be good for him!Quote:

I’d hope Bulut wouldn’t be making that decision as he will be gone.Quote:

Nice to hear that about his grandad too. Really hope Davies and Colwill make it for us, as well as Ashford, Joel Colwill etc.
I'd go along with that.Quote:

People will pick apart the team selection, whatever. But a formation something like this I'd like to see. Can argue the toss over the team selection as comb does :hehe:
I like it, I think Etete would benefit from having a partner up frontQuote:

Aside from formation I'd like to know what the general idea behind our attacking play is, as we don't get it forward quickly enough to be a counter attacking side, we don't pass it around well and we don't press opponents high up the pitch particularly either
Little and large! We will see.Quote:
