At The Start of last Season he was partnered with Short for a while until Short got injured. Then when Short was Injured Bromby played with him and then he got injured so they brought Collins in from Sunderland for a month or two then Short came back and he played towards the end of the season. He may have played with Jagielka a bit though aswell. I thought that was a lot to pay for Lucketti aswell but he seemed solid against Leeds when he played and when he came on as sub against Palace. We'll wait and see about Unsworth won't we?!
Kenny, Bromby, Jagielka, Webber, Akinbyi, Tonge, Armstrong and Kabba should all be good enough for the Prem Iam unsure about Iffil, Morgan, Lucketti, Unsworth and Kozluk but these should be OK as squad players I think Monty will be used in certain games especially away from home as a defensive mid field player I remember the game at Arsenal in the Cup he had a superb game against Fabregas. Of the other forwards Shipps should be OK off the bench and we will have to wait and see if Horsfield can improve on his fitness and general attitude
I personally think Ifill will be better in the Premiership than he is in the Championship. He's a player who drifts in and out of games and can get you something out of nothing. Really Looking forward to seeing him in the Prem to see how he goes
There are less big shithouses in the Premiership for him to disapointingly run into with the ball. So he probably will be a whole new player.
i think youll find unsworth has more prem experience than any other player at the club , yes hes no spring chicken , but neither was paul macgrath , and he was wonderful ,im not at all afraid of the prem , were strong at home , yes therell be some hiccups , and the odd belch , but dont forget , weve played 9 prem teams in the last 4 years at the lane , and only lost once , to arsenal on pens after extra time , i think our style of play , no matter whos selected is suited to the prem , the spine is more than useful anddespite the slagging off we get for warnock liking older players , have 8 team members under 25, on most occasions, and have more strikers than were at orgreave, so wont suffer like sunderland did from a dearth of goals
Macgrath didnt play in the prem with us they were on off games its unlikley that well produce that sort of proformance week in week out. personally i think monty wil be the one to watch next season. and hell play a key role sitting infront of the defence. a bit like macca did a few years ago
I think I'd like to see Monty watching next season, from the stands, or preferably on the TV a few miles away from the ground.
your not a fan then? well need his man marking skills to maybe quieten down ballack and gerrard or maybe not... :hmm:
I don't dislike him, just the thought of him playing in the top flight makes me feel dizzy. He is good at his man marking role in the 2nd division, but here? Christ no.
I'm not sure about him. I've defended him to the hilt against some of my mates this past season, and I think he could do a job in some games next season. Remember him man-marking vieira out of the game at the lane last year? I reckon he could help us pick up a valuable point or 2 against the big boys next year. However, we need a stronger player than him for the games we need to win, against the lower and mid-table sides.
yes , the games weve played v prem sides were one off games , but weve got 38 one off games next seasion if we dont go in positively, monty is a good solid player , nothing spectacular , but good teams have these bread and butter players , niggling away , ifill wll look better v prem players ,my biggest fear is morgan , but even he might surprise me
No way must Morgan play. Even Escafeld who wants to marry him would shit his pants at the thought of Morgan in the top flight. Put it this way, he will spend most of the season banned.
Can't see him playing week in week out but I'm sure our very own man of steel will almost certainly get a few Premiership games under his belt. I can't wait to see him taking on some of the World's best but yes out of all our players I do have more doubts about Morgs & whether he'll make the step up. I just hope he rises to the challenge.
i cant wait to play chelsa. terry and morgan will be at it within 10 minutes followed by Warnocko and Morinio then, if morgan manages to stay on he'll end shevchenchos career with a flying ninja kick. its gunna be a very sereal season
Morgan: "Which leg aren't you all that keen on then andriy me lad...?" Ah the premiership has missed us...
