Didn't really understand the stick he was getting during the game, I thought he was fine.Ran his arse off. He understood the assignment.
Lovely ball for Werner in that first half too
Just people who already have their minds made up and will refuse to see anything good.Didn't really understand the stick he was getting during the game, I thought he was fine.
That, my friend, is know n as damning with faint praise.I know it’s against the grain but I quite like Skipp. Sure he’s got limitations but I also think he has been poorly managed and coached. Since that year away at Norwich where he bossed the division he’s been really badly developed by consecutive managers. If he was somewhere like Brighton they’d be a queue of clubs trying to get him and we would be one of them because he’d be a much better player than he is now. Not sure that’s his fault.
Skipps best game in a long time todayRan his arse off. He understood the assignment.
Lovely ball for Werner in that first half too
Think you hit the nail on the head! He is a decent player and likely could start for a team wanting to finish 10-15th in the league. But I just don’t think he has enough “it” factor for what we need now! If he is happy to play the odd minute here and there then fine. But I don’t think he will ever be a permanent fixture in the teamGood shift today, he needs to play every week, but I just don’t see him getting that here.
He could stay here as a squad player or go somewhere and play every week. It’s up to him really.
