johnnydun Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Just now, RossDee01 said: Fair enough but you just have to look at the results since January of the games where he’s been in the team vs when he hasn’t. Yes, I agree he hasn't been up to the level he was at the start of the season, he maybe has Long Covid but doesn't know it. But a player doesn't lose all ability in 4 months. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could be it, but on current form he shouldn’t be in the starting XI on Tuesday IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well no because he was obviously fit enough to be included on the bench. Are you seriously struggling with this? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I see what you're saying, the 4-4-2 was working well without him, maybe we should look at it again when McGhee is back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could say that about the whole team, the difference being Charlie has the ability and the testicular fortitude to try something different. If he was to just play it the safe 5 yards that numerous other charlatans try (and fail to complete) he'd have a 100% success rate. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you seriously struggling with this? In fairness to @Robin.HoodI think any confusion would be for the fact you @RossDee01weren’t particularly clear in your first post that you meant / thought Cummings was injured but only to the extent of having to sit on the bench. Given that McPake doesn’t know what he is doing I think it’s fair to assume it is possible Cummings is fully fit. Reasonable question by Robin in my opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Cummings is carrying a knock where he’s not fit enough to play 90 minutes but can come on towards the end of required he’s not going to be included in that is he? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alright then - a knock, not a full blown injury. Deary me, I didn’t think I had to literally spell things out.

He didn’t try many long passes today, but he did miss plenty of short easy passes. The rest of the team can run and contribute, Adam can’t. Far too many people look at the name on the shirt, and not the actual performance. He should not be in the team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludo*1 Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 (edited) I think it's fair to say that Adam has been shite for a number of a months. I think it's also fair to say that he shouldn't be in the first 11 come Tuesday night. On the other hand, it's equally as valid a point to suggest that the reason that he's not been at it is due to Covid/his personal issues and furthermore, it's also valid to say that he'd be the lynchpin of the team again if he had McGhee doing his running again for him and letting him do what he does best. And that McPake is a shite manager who can't get the best out of him. I'm watching everyone argue here and finding myself agreeing with pretty much every post!

Yeah I don't completely disagree with @RossDee01, but those who say Adam is past it, really don't see what he does. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are 100% correct a club our size does not have the luxury of carrying anyone. That is what makes the appointment of McPake so utterly bizarre. A manager with no experience of managing an adult team, let alone a Championship side needing an urgent rebuild and desperate to get promoted ASAP. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically he’s our best player by a mile. That’s unquestionable. However, he can’t run and that’s shown in the number of yellow cards he picks up as a lot of the time he just has to foul. If we were a better team we might be able to afford to carry him however we really struggle off the ball when he’s in the team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
