I see the united u21 lad Ashley fletchers contract running out and Leeds made an offer. Seen him a few times. He's quick and looked like he could develop into a top player. He stood out as much as rashford. Them two were awesome granted at youth level but I would certainly be enquiring if I was oc. As for the jack Byrne song surly someone can cum up with a version of disco inferno

Not really. He was a shocker.

He was crap but fans booing as he went to take a free kick in his own half was embarrassing.

I long for the time when Andrews and Paul Ince were the main villains though. Little did we know.

Shows what a dire mess we are in then. If we were relegated with those 3 where does your optimism come from?

We have nobody anywhere near that standard now.

We judged him on his merits!

I don't have optimism, just not a serial misery guts. I just think that the lad, like any, should have the opportunity to fail and he wasn't given a chance here.

good shout

Buying all the the Bolton players then? Pratley's alright, but we need to sell 1 or 2 of our current midfielders. Guthrie, Akpan, Lowe, Evans, Lenihan.......missed anyone?

As others have said, the squad needs re-balancing.

I would look to let Guthrie go. Akpan is a ok player. but we could do better.

Lowe for me plays right back

Lenihan and Evans would be my 1st choice midfield at the minute

Agree wit letting Guthrie go, too injury prone. Akpan kept as a squaddie but Lenihan and Evans as our first choice centre midfield simply isn't good enough.

Id like to see him regain his earlier form, he was a class above the rest of our other centre mids when he first came i thought, he and evans in the centre and playing at their best should uld be decent. But for whatever reason, evans doesnt have any consistency with us and Guthrie's injurys seem to have taken their toll on him.

Looking at the squad it's still very short of quality. Only players you can rely on to produce quality more often than not are Marshall Conway Duffy Hanley and Graham. Any chance of doing well needs at least double this in the squad and even to avoid relegation i feel a couple more top quality (for championship) may be needed - especially if any of those mentioned are sold.

Guthrie did show a few glimpses when he fist arrived but quickly faded, he's always been made of glass though and I think he was a bit of a panic signing seeing as we were so low on anything decent last summer.

The most annoying thing about him though is he does have ability but seems a right shirker when the going gets tough. Maybe though if he gets fit a more attack minded manager might get something out of him.

Also every year we seem to have a crisis in certain positions - last year no cms hence Akpan and Guthrie - this year no lb or strikers. Planning people!

We haven't had a gaffer since Hughes who tried to create genuine balance in the starting 11 and proper round pegs for round holes back up I don't think.

Even Big Sam lost the plot with RB's and LB. Really does my nut in that, horses for courses first then squad men second.

He's just another inconsistent player who has a bit of pace as his main attribute but not much else that's why he's been shunted about all his career. One good game in 4 or 5 type.

Strange how he's ended up here on a 2 yr deal at this stage of his career. Or is it ........ :lol:

This lad seems to have made a career of going in circles between Millwall, Bolton & Rovers .
