Composed, fit, disciplined, an eye for a pass, strong.
One of the positives from an otherwise disappointing afternoon.
That and the fact we finished with 11 and didn't lose!

So you'd have not signed Grant, Ainsworth or Wylde. We'd have been a bit stuck if we had red cards, suspensions and injuries on the wings then.
Cobi Budge":th1u6hlp said:Wylde is a better player than people give him credit for, he's direct & threatening, it's often not his fault when his crossing is made to look poor, as quite often he looks up to see nobody, or one player at the most in the box. He gave us a real lift at Peterborough away & provided one of our few moments of composure this season with the goal. I'm not saying I'd have him starting every week but he's a good option to have. Sadly he seems to have a bit of a lynch mob on here.

Grant - if there was nobody better
Ainsworth - no
Wylde - a thousand times no
Personally I would have had Jervis on the right and then brought in two wingers. A good L1 winger with the pace Wylde offers but far better end product. I'd then have a cheap youngster as cover, it could even have been Slew who wouldn't have demanded a big wage. Them combined with Carey and Lamieres would have done the job in terms of cover for injuries.
Instead we've ended up with 3 fairly average wingers none of whom look to be cheap options. The money spent on them could have been pooled into getting a more expensive but far better option on the left. That or we spent the money on more important areas like full-back or a striker who can actually play as a lone front man.
Ah well...
I agree. Most of our opponents have one or more midfielders who do exactly that. I was expecting Sarcevic to do that this season but he only seems to get in the penalty area at set pieces.justanotherfan":zbypc9th said:When Wylde is on a run then it is the responsibility of the other attacking players to bust a gut and get in penalty area, with two or more defenders on him he really has a small window of opportunity to put the ball over, gives us another dimension. Toumani is definitely a step in the right direction and with matches under his belt will only get better.

Diagouraga is not likely to be the answer in this role.
The players call him Toums.rsp4":3qkg1a0u said:Surely this man has made a big difference with spine in midfield now looking like a midfield. With this guy Fox and Songo we now look like a much better team in the middle.
We cant call him Dave so what's his nickname.
Well done to the club and DA for bringing him. Undefeated since we have signed him
