So you’d bring a keeper, giving us four on our books? Nobody is coming for Jack. Davies has conceded 2 goals in 4 games, give it a rest Yes. We need better. In the four games he’s played, he made two outstanding saves vs Brentford, saved an early one on one vs Bristol City, made some decent stops last night. He’s not Banks, but he’s doing very well and is a very pleasant change from Butland Are there any footballers that you enjoy watching?

You forgot he made that 1 blunder that led to a goal against Brentford in the cup, after not playing since signing. So he is damned and forever deemed crap.

Not now you've seen him in the first team no. You were spunking your pants over him when he was in the Under 23s though, as per normal. And? He’s been messed around something rotten by this club. He’s about 12 months behind from where he should be down to club incompetence but still better than Thompson imo with much less football under his belt. And...it goes to show that the crap you throw the way of managers who don't pick these players is, 99% of the time, unjustified. You're always the first one to start calling managers twats and cowards and pathetic because they're not picking some kid you like from the youth team, despite them being the ones who see the players in training and thus, being in a much, much better position than you to judge how good these players really are. You've started using those terms in relation to Michael O'Neill already (a man who has just saved our club from a fate I can't even begin to imagine) and doing your usual trick of trying to spread negativity about whoever is in charge because, for whatever deluded reason, you seem to think you'd do a better job based on your Football Manager achievements in your bedroom. Even though it's fine to disagree with something that MON is doing, and that's what this message board is for- to discuss these things, the language you use in relation to him is a disgrace. That, amongst other things, is what winds people up and has them on your case. In terms of your last point, I'm not a fan of Thompson particularly- I think he's a League One player who MON signed because he needed a body in quick (as most of the midfield were out on loan or injured). He knew him from N.Ire, thought he was a good egg who'd try his best and fit in behind the scenes, and most importantly he was able to pick him up cheap. He's been a 6/10 player for us when he's played- not awful, but very, very average. About what you'd expect for the £500k or so we spent on him. From what I've seen of Sorenson, I don't think he's even at that level, and we can't afford to carry players who are learning the trade and giving the ball away every other touch. He might get there in the end (I hope he does), but your previous claims that he should be in the first team now, better than Joe Allen etc etc clearly weren't correct were they? You'll no doubt shift the goalposts and start down the road of 'well, if he'd been loaned out he'd be the new Puskas etc', but that requires another team to have made an offer for him, and us to be in a position to be able to let him go. (I do think once Allen is fit again, Sorenson will get a loan somewhere, and I agree- he does need one.)

And just for reference. Sorensen is 20, Thompson 23 Sorensen has 8 pro games under his belt. Thompson 140 and 7 full caps. And there’s a gnat’s cock between them. I don't get the obsession with Sorensen and the hate for thompson. At least thompson knows how to play the ball forward. Both can't tackle but at least thompson can bring something to our games. Only other players who can pass like thompson forward in our squad is powell and allen.

I think Davies has done great and absolutely deserves to hold onto the number 1 spot for now, ideally we would sell Jack and go and get a new keeper that can challenge Davies for his jersey, but while Jack is playing number two who will give us anything?
As for the Sorenson debate, personally I don’t think either him nor Thompson are up to it, in my view it would be best to give Sorenson a loan for a season to a division 1 side and Thompson can be one of our squad players. I also think most fans would see that as being sensible.

I'd rather see Sorro get the games than Thompson tbh, Sorro is a decent passer and we've seen glimpses of it but he needs more games to bring him on, Thompson has shown similar but nothing to show he was worth signing, as has been said they're at both a similar level as it stands but Sorro is young enough to improve and shouldn't be written off just yet, Thompson wasn't needed imo.

Even with a lack of football he’s on a par at least with someone who has played loads of football. MON has been a massive coward with the youth team players. Calling them out and hooking them when someone else deserved it. Lockdown being case in point. Thompson was easily the worst player in lockdown and played where more than he should have. He’s a better passer than Allen for sure and of the two Id keep Sorensen over Allen. And the loan isn’t shifting the goalposts. It’s emphasising how badly we’ve handled him. We haven’t allowed him to develop properly. He’s 20 and has 8 pro games under his belt because we fucked up and didn’t allow him to go out on loan. If you can’t see that’s an issue then more fool you.

The only thing he’s been ok at in open play I would say is he when he carried the ball. In lockdown he was easily the worst player for me. So weak in the middle and brushed past so easily, cost us a few goals.

He was talking utter shite like managers do. He was only praising Thompson because he signed him. Maybe so. Praise in public, chastise in private. Basic motivation strategy. The opposite rarely results in improvement. You might as well say “the beatings will stop when your performance improves”. I don’t know many people that would respond positively to that. I know I wouldn’t. Yet he doesn’t mind doing exactly that but not his little pet project. Pure favouritism.

If we didn't loan him before, how can you be sure anyone actually wanted him? We can't force our players onto other teams, abandoning them on doorsteps like unwanted newborns.

But yeah calling MON a coward is a bit over the top, and your reluctance to give Davies a chance just shows how blind you are on some issues. Anyway dont agree with everyone attacking you in general, you are allowed your opinion. Just maybe try to stop repeating yourself every 2nd post I think he has been cowardly with them and always willing to hook them when he wouldn’t do it to a senior. It’s frustrating. I’ve given Davies a chance, I think we need better, what’s wrong with that?

The issue with Sorensen is he should have been loaned out about 2 years ago and now we’re playing catch up. 1) Even with a lack of football he’s on a par at least with someone who has played loads of football. 2)MON has been a massive coward with the youth team players. Calling them out and hooking them when someone else deserved it. Lockdown being case in point. Thompson was easily the worst player in lockdown and played where more than he should have. 3) He’s a better passer than Allen for sure and of the two Id keep Sorensen over Allen. And the loan isn’t shifting the goalposts. It’s emphasising how badly we’ve handled him. We haven’t allowed him to develop properly. He’s 20 and has 8 pro games under his belt because we fucked up and didn’t allow him to go out on loan. 4) If you can’t see that’s an issue then more fool you. 1) He really isn't on a par with him though, that's the issue. Thompson (and while we're at it, Cousins) are both 6/10 League One players who can do a steady job for a few games at this level. Sorenson looks below that level to me, and MON clearly agrees as both senior players are ahead of him in the pecking order. 2) There you go again- 'a massive coward'. 3) Then you're a worse judge of a player than I thought. 4) I've just said he needs a loan. If we didn't loan him before, how can you be sure anyone actually wanted him? We can't force our players onto other teams, abandoning them on doorsteps like unwanted newborns. During lockdown Thompson was easily the worst player we had. Cousins imo was probably our best midfielder and him coming in changed it all. But he is League one standard generally. Thompson is below that, he couldn’t cement a place in a league one side. And clearly the manager favours him because he signed him. I think he is one for how he’s done certain things. Allen is pretty much the root of our demise on the pitch for the last 4 years. Why in Gods name would I want to watch that? Because I get told stuff? We kept him because managers liked him but never played him because they were too scared. As has happened with a lot of players. It’s really poor.

In the four games he’s played, he made two outstanding saves vs Brentford, saved an early one on one vs Bristol City, made some decent stops last night. He’s not Banks, but he’s doing very well and is a very pleasant change from Butland Are there any footballers that you enjoy watching? You forgot he made that 1 blunder that led to a goal against Brentford in the cup, after not playing since signing. So he is damned and forever deemed crap. I thought that goal was a bloody fluke! There was no one more surprised than the Brentford player when his cross sneaked in.

Its 1 instance the rest of the time he has been great for us and without him i believe we wouldnt of stayed up. But some people cant change their opinion of someone after its been made

But some people cant change their opinion of someone after its been made He has indeed and if Butland had remained in goal I'm sure we would now be in league1.All things said Davies had had no game time and it was a lack of judgement (understandable)not the massive unforgivable error some dick with an agenda is trying to claim. Davies has been superb since he got his chance,as most observers would agree.

And anyone who thinks the Brentford one was a fluke needs to give their head a wobble.

Your posts are becoming boring and monotonous. You aren't some oracle on football like you lord yourself to be, you have an opinion that's it but a lot of the time its just an agenda against what or whom you don't like. Give everyone a rest will ya

Give everyone a rest will ya If anyone believes the agenda shit then I despair I really do. It’s complete horseshit. And just an easy way of people stopping discussing things. My one agenda is Stoke City winning games and the best way I think that needs to happen. I’ve said Davies has done ok. How does that fit an agenda?? 🤦♂️😂 And if you don’t think the u12s goalie saves the Brentford then there is something wrong. It was a right cock up. But it happens.
