The great Chris Clements

Quoted from IlkleyMariner

Maybe Slade's judgement of some of our contracted players should be acknowledged.
Although his new signings are not inspirational, there was a lot of imbalance/dross that he inherited. He is trying to sort it out before we get new.

No doubt the keyboard warriors will have their say, but many will agree with the above.

Maybe there was but he shouldn't have used it as an excuse to sign some more.

Whole point of a forum isn't it?

I take it by keyboard warriors, you mean people who don't share your rosy view?

Have checked it out.
Really pleased for Rhys
Think it was his decision to leave to join the former club of his father and GTFC had been very supportive whilst he tried to get over losing his dad.

Why are you using the term 'keyboard warriors'? Are you trying to be inflammatory in an oh so adult way?

I think Slade has judged some of the inherited dross correctly, and yet he persists with Berrett and Summerfield, and Vernon - the very encapsulation of 'bang average' (at best).

What sort of compromises your position is the calibre of players he's signed that is even worse than the 'dross' you say he inherited. Kelly, Dixon, Hooper, Matt, Woolford - all poor at this level in my opinion.

He's signed one maybe two good players and inherited 3 or 4 good ones. We are stuck playing aimless hoofball with the other 20+, whatever their origin. And some are contracted next year too! Nice work GTFC.

I wouldn't put Summerfield  in the same group as Berrett and Vernon-  he's been the star man in most games this season.

Which speaks volumes about the rest of them.

Other than being played as a defensive midfielder, as opposed to his preferred position as an attacking midfielder, I'm not sure what else Berrett could have done this season. There have been far, far worse than him.

You could argue that Slade has gotten the best out of two players that he inherited and were completely written off by most. They’ve probably been two of our most consistent performers. Whilst we’ve been hit with injuries in that position.

Not that it’s done the team as a whole much good, mind.

Berrett and Summerfield have probably been our most consistent performers - that speaks volumes for the rest of the players, as those two playing at their best are probably average performances for the playoff teams!

Slade was left with several decent players in Jones, Osborne, Collins, Davies and Mills. He’s filled out the rest of the squad with shite like Dixon, Clarke, Woolford and Hooper. He has also continued to play average performers such as Vernon and the midfield two. His only two decent signings have been Dembele and Jaiyesemi.

The team that played Exeter had an average age of 30. THIRTY! Take out Dembele and Jones and it’s 31. What the intercourse is that about.

We haven’t got the players to play long ball because they aren’t strong or quick. We haven’t got the players to play passing football because they aren’t good enough on the ball (except Dembele and maybe Summerfield). So what else are we supposed to do?

Finally, what the hell does Karleigh Osborne have to do to get a game?!
