Ralls, Wintle, Rinomhota and Adams are decent midfield options. Add in King and it's a pretty athletic midfield, asking a lot of Colwill though as there's not a huge amount of creativity in there
Excellent news.
Hard to see many goals in the squad as it looks at the moment, but we could be hard to beat.Quote:

Sure he is, Steve....
:hehe:
Yeah good news. Captain next season I would have thought. Plenty of energy in there. Maybe a loan to add the creativity.
Excellent news.
Never in doubt :hehe:
He must know Bale has signed……:sherlock:Quote:

I think it's good news, he's a decent midfielder by Championship standards and it provides a bit of continuity. But I take your point, Morison describing him a club legend is over-egging it somewhat.Quote:

I wonder if that description, and I agree it’s overused generally, is because of how he’s viewed within the club.Quote:

I thought the squad were in Scotland.
Morison pictured with Ralls in Cardiff?
They’re going next weekQuote:

Great news. We need leaders like Joe.
I know I’m not Joe’s biggest fan, but what attributes makes him a leader? I don’t see him often organise, I don’t see him bark or shout and I don’t see him rally playersQuote:

Does shouting and barking make you a leader?Quote:

I remember Sean Morrison saying that game v Reading when we were clinching promotion. He said him and Peltier were laughing with each other saying weve done it with minutes to go. Ralls shouted at them saying weve done nothing yet wise up and thats what hes like.Quote:

You’re probably right - I’m probably overly criticalQuote:

It was the 2015/16 campaign that he fully established himself in the side. His stats since then are:
2015/16 - 42 (+1) appearances, 1 goal
2016/17 - 39 (+3) appearances, 6 goals
2017/18 - 37 appearances, 7 goals
2018/19 - 22 (+6) appearances, 0 goals (Premier League)
2019/20 - 25 (+2) appearances, 7 goals
2020/21 - 34 (+5) appearances, 5 goals
2021/22 - 26 (+3) appearances, 1 goal
Not sure why the goals dried up to such an extent last season, but in fairness it was a really poor campaign for the team all round.
It’s not so much the leadership but you know what you’ll get with him. A steady 7 from 10 every week who, apart from last year, does everything well. Maybe that’s leadership that the young players need. A solid Pro that doesn’t go missing.Quote:

He's more of a legend than Bale
I think he's the exactly the type of pro Morison needs at the moment. He always puts in a good shift and will give the team a modicum of continuity and stability. If Morison is able to get the team playing like he says he wants them to we could see great things from Joe.
