Crikey, let's not judge players in friendlies against a team from a higher division 3 days after signing. It's not a good look.

Well Rossi came from a Prem side and played for them while in the Championship and Hugill could barely buy a goal last season but ok and 2CWs are OK then? Youll have a view on that Andrew as I like your posts. Really!

I'm conflicted on 2CW's. I only have eyes for United so I don't understand it at all. I don't really like it either.
That said, it's be interesting to know what percentage of United fans are 2CW's and what our crowds would look like without them. Also, one of my best mates is a 2CW so I can't be too harsh on other people (fortunately not a Spurs fan otherwise he can get in the f*cking bin and stay there).

Streatham’s answer to Paolo Maldini. That’s all.

He's got a lot of improving to do but you can see the talent's there. Positioning is a bit questionable at the moment & he's quite slow, which is not a great combination as it makes him very vulnerable to an early ball over the top that gets him on the turn, but it's the sort of thing that with time, experience & a settled side he'll get to grips with.
Would like to see us stick with him alongside Jones for the time being as that consistency will only benefit him & the rest of the defence.

I thought the pairing of Jones and Rossi showed a lot of promise on Saturday. Both look reasonably comfortable on the ball, neither afraid to bring it out of defence rather than just hoof it. His height is an added bonus. He got some decent blocks in, only slight concern was that he went to ground a little too regularly for my liking, but that will come with experience. Lots of great commitment to get stuck in was nice.

Ffs out for a month with hamstring, we need a serious NUMBER of reinforcements in Jan.

Shame for him just as he breaks into the squad, but he'll be back by Jan so we should be fine for centre backs by the time the window flies open.
Although I have a theory Greg could be out on loan once his testimonial is done and we'll look to bring someone in.

Andrew You don't send senior players, and certainly not your club captain, out on loan.

It's what we did with Josh. He wasn't club captain admittedly but I do see parallels.

Greg is 32 now, I expect him to stay to see the season out and then be released and finish his career as a player coach at a Conf club somewhere localish.
