His performance at home to Brentford was the worst individual performance of the season. Hauled off before half time iirc

He was extremely poor v Birmingham away. Looked physically out of his depth

Our central midfield next seasom needs a revamp.Too many players with similar attributes and not enough physical prescence.

I'd not be starting Honeyman and Power for starters.

And only one of Catts and Leadbitter.

yes. though those players finsihed this season fifth in league one-which is higher than average-and honeyman is much better than league one if played in his proper positon-as shown by the fact he played champo last season and scored goals-and he will geta mobe up i believe.

Honeyman was awful in the Championship and scored 6 or 7. That’s not particularly impressive.

Agreed,even as a two or three man midfield you can't have both.

It would be bettter of course if Catts and Oviedo went to free up wages but the Cattermole replacement must be something different to what we've got.

I dont think Robson is the answer regardless.

Genuine question, what are you suggesting is his proper position?

Some daft knackers on here. Did you expect Ross to just hoy the lad in when he returned from a bad injury? It was a great move that Dundee loan.

 

[manamamackem]

Ross has already given him assurances that he will be heavily involved next season

Who, marra? I know it's a Robson thread but loads of names being bandied about on here!

Watmore was hoyed straight back in

No reason Power can't start every game. Has won League One twice with Wigan playing almost every game.

 

[Sid]

He isn't


In the role he's played a lot this season according to the lad himself

This. He's pretty much the same size as the rest of them. Power is the tallest and he's only marginally bigger than the rest.

Imo he's a better player than Robson.

 

[TheBronzeBummer]

Watmore was hoyed straight back in

But he’s regarded as one of our best players, Robson’s played about 18 games for us if that!

 

[Reznor]

I like Power and don't think we saw the best of him last season. Don't know whether that's on him, Ross or a combination but his track record clearly shows he's a top League One midfielder. Same with Grigg up front. It's about putting more of those in place, particularly at centre half, and JR getting the best out of them.

 

[rinigrajo]

What if he's bang average like other academy products seem to be at the moment?

Then we will make him captain!

 

[Bonzo]

local lad, loves his footy, get him in the team next season ross

Wasn't this said about Honeyman aswell.

 

[Roger]

Signing O'Nien, McGeoch, Power and Leadbitter certainly gave the impression that he wasn't hugely impressed. Add Cattermole to the mix and you'd think there'd be at least two out of that 5 plus Robson on the way out.

It bothers me, that we still have essentially the same academy setup and players that we had when we were in the Premiership.

When we were there, we were trying to loan the players out to League One/Two teams to give them experience.

Now we are at that level, none of the academy players appear to be getting a sniff at the first team, not even as part of the squad. Are they really all that poor that they aren't even considered, if they don't get first team experience at this level, surely they stand no chance if/when we start rising again.

The ones playing regularly haven't exactly been great. Our captain and Gooch have been massively disappointing this season

 

[molthemackem]

Football is all about opinions and mine is Honeyman is utter gash. What is his proper position?

He does'nt have one.

 

[Deleted member 43563]

Used to play footy v his Da Simon a lot and played golf with him.

When we were being relegated from prem i said to him aint a bad thing regs his son and other local talent or even other Academy kids.

Maja and Asoro went, kimpy and Mumba and Ethan chomping at bit.

Peddle the slow coach midfield and get these kids in.......with a few athletic signings alongside them.

Just my opinion if it means owt

[Mr David]

He's not very good like. Saying that, there is minimal difference between Northern League and some league 1 players imo. Better players are sticking to big money in non league and working during the week to make a killing
