Have seen him play quite a few times. I know it's a 'step up' but I think he would be fine in the championship. No doubt JT will know him quite well from last season. I say, give him a go!

Keyblade Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 8 hours ago, bannedfromHandV said: Disagree, you can lose a game and still be the better team, the fact we had to score a late goal is irrelevant. We dominated most of the game save for a 15-20 minute period in the second half. To say otherwise is revisionism. I don't disagree that we "dominated" per se. like I said we had most of the ball and put most of the pressure on their final third. But domination =/= playing a team off the park if you don't do anything with all that possession. My point was that for all of our domination, Brentford had almost all of the chances. All you have to do is just look at the goals both teams scored. As usual we relied on individual brilliance and a header from a deep hopeful cross, whereas their goals came from incisive passing football, and were team goals. If you don't believe my recount of proceedings, here's the match summary from whoscored.com. Frankly I think it's disrespectful to use that game as any sort of counterpoint to DS' abilities. It does him a huge disservice as on the day they were the better side anyway. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enda Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 2 hours ago, blandy said: So we're now a mid table team, with some real weaknesses and some major strengths, but IMO a team that lets in so many goals as we do will not get anywhere near going up. We have no decent goalkeeper, no decent left back, one centre half and a promising loanee. That just isn't promotion material. Bit harsh that. We make one good signing in the January (a CB) and we're one of the best teams in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I have seen quite alot of him and he always looked comfortable. Given that we are nearer league 1 than the PL at present, I say give him a go....certainly an upgrade on the Jed imo Edited October 12, 2018 by westholmevillan Spelling 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you looked at my other 2 posts on the subject of Bedeau you will see that I have watched him play several times and that's why my opinion is based on.
