I think they will hang a for sale sign round Whartons neck too. Hence the contract bump and slow comeback.

Was a difficult one for sure, he was also in oerfect oosition tonscore but the cross in to him was dog shit and he could not get there a yard and a half further back and he's on the scoresheet.

I'm not sure what you're trying to achieve here? Fans (in the ground and on here) are already on his back after about a game and a half. I heard someone insist he was a dud 30 minutes in. Spreading negativity about a player when they've hardly seen them play isn't backing them - neither is writing insulting comments online like we've seen tonight. Some of the reactions to Gudjohnsen are irrational, too soon and are well beyond being critical, so I'm glad the people making them aren't anywhere near the training ground. My only real point was we're guilty of trying to judge players too soon... it's a fair and reasonable point. Certainly feels it since some are already ruling him out. Szmodics should be enough to make everyone think twice. Brereton too.

We missed a trick not starting him immediately after his first two sub appearances, he looked sharp and high on confidence seems to have ebbed with the wait.

We should be a good proposition, been there done that and were holding our own in the top league until these pretenders came along. Should show any potential owner what we are capable if under good stewardship it's just these idiots will never sell. Their exit strategy is to manage us down till there is no club left to own. Another Bury?

Not a bad result to say that we played the first half with 9 men, Gudjohnsen & Morishita were completely anonymous and ineffective (tbh that’s probably being generous to TGH, so it was actually more like 8.5 men) I was sat throughout the first half thinking that, if this is the way that the manager wants us to play - long balls into (and more often than not, over) the front man, then Gueye would be a much better option than either Gudjohnsen or Yuki - I don’t understand why he’s not been given a chance. And, if I was Cantwell I’d be banging down my agent’s door demanding he get me out of here - he is so far above the rest of the team it’s almost laughable. And I’m not convinced that it’s that he’s improved massively from last season, I think it’s more that the rest of the squad has just got so much worse. Unfortunately I can’t see anything other than us going down with a whimper this season. I was talking with some dingle mates tonight and I think the only interest this season, for any of us, is which of us gets a lower points total in our respective leagues.

So there was no danger then? did not lead to a goal like so many of Ainsleys did. Not the finished article but better than Pears by some way

We have slashed the wage budget and brought in more transfer funds than we spent.

That TGH is impressing me some and a Mc? whose name I can not spell has shown SOME promise but Alebiosu is a good signing, TGH streets ahead if Tavares and looks to be enjoying himself here. Cantwell good, really good at times. Seems like the opposition like to try to kick him out of games early and he gets little protection from refs. Shits out of some 50-50's on song he's a good watch.

Once? Pears does that regularly Toth once in a while ALL keepers will Toth generally get's it to the side. Even if you are right that is it. Toth is better with his angles, coming out, catching, kicking, shot stopping mostly, quite a bit younger than Pears too isn't he. But if you want a keeper who never parries a ball into the danger area I'm afraid there isn't one and Pears did that on a more regular basis than Toth. Aso Toth HAS even improved in his ti.e here Pears? Well he's as shit today as he's always been, showed no improvement ither than a short spell where he did fairly well but the the bottom seemed to drop out Have we seen a Wednesday style blunder from Toth yet, Ainsley entertained us with more than one in huge huge games too, so Rev, roll one for me mate.

Oh Rev cone off it, course it could turn but we would have conceded at least 3 with Pears today, one where Toth came out to clear the ball Pears would have still been on the six yard line. There is clear daylight between the two in terms of ability, at the moment Toth is streets ahead of Pears. I am flabbergasted you can even suggest different.

He is a good one not even his best performance against us today.

Dead cert isn't it?

Your point was about backing him, getting behind him and not getting on his back. Even if you disagree with the opinion you shared or other opinions, it doesnt mean that the poster or indeed anyone doesnt back him when he puts on the shirt.

i expect a pro footballer to be able to trap a football,wether he`s not match fit or getting used to a new country,it`s a basic fundamental skill,thats twice in a week where he`s completely ****** up a goalscoring chance,overall he was`nt to bad on tuesday,today he was absolutely minging

You're confusing critical with being completely unreasonable. I too think he should have scored.

Again. That comment on a messageboard does not prove that the poster is not behind the player. You are confusing being criticial of a player on here with not being behind him.

Well those are sadly the options we have until Baradji is fit. I dont think Montgomery has had enough mins in centre midfield to form much of an opinion yet. But i would only bring him in if TGH or Tronstad are unavailable (which will happen soon given the number of games we have coming up).

Let's not pretend now. I've read... "Gueye has more footballing ability in his big toe than Gudjohnson has in his entire body." "Losing patience with Gudjohnsen". It's pathetic.

Gardner Hickman is average, there is a reason why he was unable to establish himself at 3 previous clubs. That is still better than Tavares seemingly. And the other midfielder we signed, we cleverley did so knowing hes injured for months. Montgomery has looked miles off the standard and Cantwell is our best player where he is currently playing, hes never a deeper midfielder.

Wish it was next year!

Of course there are examples of players who started slowly and then settled and thrived. But just as many if not more But the likelihood is that a % (however low or high) will simply prove to be not up to it. We cant just assume that they all will be slow burners like Tronstad. The fans are and will be behind Gudjohnsen. Saying he has looked crap in these 2 starts doesnt mean that they arent behind him.

I agree hes worse than Travis but Sid is another big step down from TGH. If we have to try someone else out at CM I would go for Montgomery. Or put Cantwell in the midfield two. Centre midfield is a time bomb waiting to go off as soon as Tronstad gets injured or suspended.

Look at my original point Rev. I said we spent around 10m which including reinvesting of money from sales given the original budget was 5m

Yeah, hes been very good. Mobile, good in the air, dedicated, good recovery. Him and McLoughlin have been very decent imo.
