You also moved the goalposts when you stated of these 5 Superior keepers in your view 2/3 would be on higher wages, now its 1 or 2.
Sorry but once again that's nuts.
Top 7 in our league being Picky who is number 6 as you have mentioned 5 so far none of whom I would swop for Joe regardless of their wage bill.
Thank goodness we have him as without I guarantee we would be below half way now.
Out of genuine interest is there anybody in our squad that you actually rate.
Not a wind up but would like to hear similarly to my match reports what you think of each member of our squad.
Will take 5/10 minutes of your time but give it a go.
Will be very interested to hear your views.
Throw in Flynny as well please
A good manager would have a replacement lined up or know of one before letting one of most important places become vacant.Or that's what I would hope.
I have no idea what teams pay their players but I would think Luton and Mansfield may be paying more than we pay Day to their keepers . who knows apart from the teams ?
As for our players you ask about...
Pipe - gives 100% every game , can't ask a player to do more
O'Brien - great defender at our level , could he still do it at a higher level ?
Demetriou - Great defender in a back 5 , have doubts in a 4 as gets exposed for pace
Bennett - Good player at our current level but makes mistakes, struggles against pace and is never a midfielder.
Butler - IMO our best player this year....improving weekly
White - needs another year or two at our level , then one above , then could be a good Championship , lower end Premier player
Dolan - one week can be good , one very ordinary , needs to work on fitness
Labadie - needs to work on discipline and learn how to play the easy ball , try's to do too much and makes lots of unnecessary mistakes .works hard but can tend to try to do it all himself.
Tozer - competent player at our level , struggles with pace
Wilmott - Drifts out of games to easily , does one or two things a game that are good but most of the time is a passenger.
Amond - works his balls off closing down , give him the right service and he will get you goals , the long punt/ hoof upfield we use isn't suited to his game
Nouble - an enigma , has skill in abundance but switches off during games and hides. When he wants to he works his butt off but can also be very lazy in the same game.
McCoulsky - as with many goalscorer , not the most gifted footballer but has pace , knows where to be in the area when the ball arrives and knows where the goal is , one of the hardest things to do in football...needs a few more years at our level or just above to build up his football knowledge.
Jackson - stealing a living from us...Never a league footballer IMO
Rigg - needs to be used more by Flynn , one of our better players on his day, IMO a mistake if he let's him go unless his wages are a problem..
JBB....not up to it
Williams ....showed promise before his loan spell , could be as good prospect now he has been out on loan and got loads of goals
Reynolds....needs first team football out on loan in Conference North/South to build his confidence up whilst still training full time with us
TOE ....needs a spell out on loan in Conference
