ferguson1 Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Loving the Mingels partnership so far and they both stay fit for the majority of the season with Heaton in goal, we'll avoid relegation in my view. Konsa and Hause will also be very important back up options as the season progresses. Full back options are very good now and I expect we'll see Guilbert and Targett as first choice as the season goes on. The only negative and disappointment for me is that I fear Chester is finished at this level now, which is a shame as I like the guy. He's been a really good servant for us and may still get regular games in the Championship, but not in this league for me. I fear his knee just won't stand up to the riggers and pace of this league.

villalad21 Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Remember the times when we had to play Hutton as a centre back? It's a miracle we are in the position we are. Still cannot believe it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRO Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 It seems like we have signed another "Iffy" defender. Iffy Udanoh a 6'4 Nigerian defender 16 years old ..has signed for us in the face of competition from many leading premier league clubs. born in Maryland,USA sounds like a well fancied prospect.

Ooh, sounds exciting. Always like to hear that we’re signing talented young stars. Apparently he’s the next Van Dijk! No pressure then lad.

useless Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 (edited) If he's the really the next Van Dijk and other top flight clubs wanted him including Liverpool, then doesn't sound very 'iffy' to me, although that's his first name.

MaVilla Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Wonder when this will be confirmed if true?, pity there aren't any vids of him, would be interested to see why he is so highly rated . Who was that other youth defender we had who was highly rated?, who we released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam2003 Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 There was a moment, I think when Engels got kicked in the head, where I thought “ok that’s a shame as he is bossing it but I’m confident in our options on the bench, it won’t affect us.” Haven’t had that feeling with our defence in years so taking it as a good sign.

I can tell you going forward in the PL if you like? We won't be winning matches with both Elmo and Taylor starting. Win/draw bet on the other side safe money.

I’m going for, we would have won 5-0 against Everton if Elmo had started instead of Guilbert. No way anyone can actually disprove that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for looking that up. All to do with Taylor and Elmo my friend. Both hinder us too much in their own way. Together it's too much. I don't think this is an outrageous opinion.
