Do you think strikers should score goals and provide assists?

He's not THAT bad.

And I'm still at peace with wanting one of our forwards to have a really good performance today.

But, OK, if consensus is he's an irredeemable stinker, so be it. I just think he's not been quite that bad.

Not that bad a what though ?

I hope he scores 6 today

On the rare occasion that he shoots I think he hits the target , albeit too straight at the keeper, but I might be looking at this through beer goggles.
Jude should be front and centre of everything England do in the attacking third of the pitch.
Give him the armband now too ! ( AUG 2023 )

He's not the worst ever, I agree.

He would make the match day squad though.

Dunn had a house in Solihull it might even be the house Gary Gardner lives in now but it was on same little development. He might not have been there when he first moved here but he did at some point live down here.

Correct , Dunn had a gaff just off St Bernards Road.
I regularly ( inadvertently ) knocked golf balls into his garden back in the day.

Normally when Sammy was sunbathing, if I remember correctly?

Well, of course I do. I also like them to at least be purposeful, show effort and work for the team

It's apparent I'm not saying Burke's been great. I just don't think he's deserved quite the kicking he's getting.

Shall we get Leko back instead? NO.

No Leto was dogshit as well
15:04, Mon 1 Jan
OK. There you go. Leko had way more minutes and was a selfish, lazy player who ran into the corner a lot and didn't look vaguely arsed if we scored, unless it was scored by him - that one time.

He's not quite due the kicking yet. He may well be dogshit enough to get there, but not quite yet.

Anyway - game's started

Who?

Genuinely can't think of any.
With a reputation? Melchiot, Gronkjaer, Hleb, Bentley, Dunn, Mortimer. All of these had huge reputations when they came to us and all stole a living.

And the worst of all? Mike Newell.

Add Chris Sutton to that list. And David Bentley, the arrogant ****ā€¦.

I donā€™t itā€™s fair to include Dunn- his injuries didnā€™t allow him to fulfill his potential.

The same David Dunn who was miraculously fit as soon as he went back to Blackburn?

Walter Pandiani did it for me.

And then don't get me started on that bastard Mike Newell.

Yeah, probably the biggest disappointment in my memory. Obviously there was a personality clash with TF. Mind you Devlin did too didnā€™t he. I dare say there were other examples, didnā€™t someone mention Danny Sonner a few weeks back?

Pandiani played for Bruce.

Newell didnā€™t, thatā€™s the personality clash I was referring to
