Alan Partridge So, in summary...
Doyle hasn't proven himself at this level despite most pundits lauding praise on him.
Who the hell has said that?? No one
Lita and Kitson work best even though Lita has one solitary tap-in and one decent performance to his name this season and Doyle is our top scorer.
No one's said that either, only that Lita has worked well with Kitson before and probably would do again, Kitson and Doyle works well as well. All everyone is saying that it's not all that fair to have a go at Lita when he hasn't had the big man alongside him at all.
Convey has done nothing this season and Hunt is far better, despite Convey leading our assists table.
Of course again you've worded it to your advantage, either that or you've missed the point entirely, probably both. Convey in terms of his overall performances has been one of the biggest let downs. Hunt has played in his absence and has played well and should keep his place, who saying Hunt is a better player?
Long hasn't done anything this season and shouldn't be given a chance because he hasn't scored more goals than Lita in his 10 minute substitute appearances and clearly isn't up to Premiership standard.
Who's said that? Lita is playing reasonably well still or as well as the circumstances have allowed like being marked by world class centre halves. Long is a very talented young player but in the chances he has had (Darlington in the cup, reserve team football) is yet to really show or is yet to prove without doubt he'd be a better option. 10minute cameo's mean nothing. If he plays well up at Liverpool then that would be staking a claim.
...I knew it was me who was the stupid one.
That can't be denied, Spot on.
1. It's been mentioned in another thread today on these boards but I can't be bothered to find it.
2. I think you'll find that with Doyle and Kitson together, we have far more play in the attacking third, as opposed to either paired with Lita. This is because Kitson and Doyle do more work, hold onto the ball and link up better (and actually have a first touch).
3. LOL! Convey has done nothing, but he does indeed top our assists table. Right you are then Ian!
4. I've worded it in my favour? Hardly, I don't make up the facts! Convey doesn't run around like a headless chicken if that's why his overall performance (whatever you're defining that by if it isn't goals, assists and influence on results) is supposedly poor. Hunt did a Hughes for most of the game yesterday and kept coming inside, giving us no width until near the end. Also, according to most reports I have of the reserves and Darlington game, he was poor in those, which completely defeats your ridiculous reasoning as to why Long shouldn't be given a chance to start in a league game.
5. Yep, keep thinking that, you're always right - look at your amazing insights into Goater and Hughes and the like before they got sold at the first possible attempt and their careers faded into oblivion.
