Express pace. God we’ve missed it!
Him and Harris!

Not sure this is warranted, stating an opinion that I should think some (including myself) agree with, he was bang average but the goal was superb, I want to see him being that direct more often, plenty of defenders at this level won't be able to deal with that sort of pace.Well you're a bundle of joy aren't you...
Can Everton recall him? Looking at their performance this afternoon they're pretty poor.
The expectation that I shouldn't be anything but chipper after a 3-1 away win at Barnsley is just another example of the kind of toxic positivity that's made me scared to give dogs abuse at football games these days and has resulted in me requesting the club to move my season ticket from the SSU to the away corner.Not sure this is warranted, stating an opinion that I should think some (including myself) agree with, he was bang average but the goal was superb, I want to see him being that direct more often, plenty of defenders at this level won't be able to deal with that sort of pace.
I don't think anyone was crap, Long gave the ball away a few times but I think he did okay, I also have no issues with what I saw from Bodin, not all our players can be rapid.While I'm here, Longy was crap, and I hope we've been able to locate Billy Bodin in time for me to let him know how slow he is on Saturday.
My tongue was in my cheek. I was delighted with the performance; I only had a contention with the remark that Mills was tremendous, but perhaps expressed it too bluntly.I don't think anyone was crap, Long gave the ball away a few times but I think he did okay, I also have no issues with what I saw from Bodin, not all our players can be rapid.
But, I agree with the rest of your post, you are entiltled to your opinion, and folks are entitled to challenge it
Long cleared off the line to keep us ahead yesterday and Tuesday, he wasn't great but not crap. Going forward yes he ain't great but he is there primarily to defend.The expectation that I shouldn't be anything but chipper after a 3-1 away win at Barnsley is just another example of the kind of toxic positivity that's made me scared to give dogs abuse at football games these days and has resulted in me requesting the club to move my season ticket from the SSU to the away corner.

Bloody hell, last time I attempt humour. I've a newfound sympathy for @greatunclekip all of a sudden.Long cleared off the line to keep us ahead yesterday and Tuesday, he wasn't great but not crap. Going forward yes he ain't great but he is there primarily to defend.
If Bodin had pace he would not be playing League 1, his ability to find space and link up play is important to the way we play.
If a player had Mills pace and Bodin's awareness he would play in the Premiership. If a player had Longs passing ability and Bodin's pace you could fairly call that player crap.
If Longy and Bodin are crap where to you rank Diaz, Tendialli et al.
Try doing stand up, the audience will be a lot more reasonable!! Humour does not appear to work too well in this forum.Bloody hell, last time I attempt humour. I've a newfound sympathy for @greatunclekip all of a sudden.
I'm a fan of both Longy and Bodes, for the record.
Tbf I thought Long hadn’t improved on last season but after the 2nd half against Carlisle and including the last two games he’s been bloody good and while he keeps playing like that I am more than happy.Bloody hell, last time I attempt humour.

Yes was listening too though he had Barnsley equalising as-a slip of the footy memory but nice to hear that he'll be watching every game.Danny Mills on talkSPORT talking about Stanley at us on loan, said how great the club have been and how great Liam Manning is with all the players, especially with communicating with people. He also praised us as fans.
I agree he gets the ball and just wants to make things happen my only question would be is he as affective against fresh defenders or tiring defenders I mean if he started the game would be run out of steam where as when he comes on in the second half the defence is tiring and he can run .Fantastic player, just glides past opponents. Hope we see more than just cameos from him.

I do like him tho I would love him on the right Tyler on the left just running at the defence
Yes we could but we'd miss his directness that's why I think he's a good sub to bring on rather than start a match but hey if he starts or comes on as a sub I think he's a great playerI guess we could sub him if he got tired ?
