Title: Simon Richman
Post by: VofD on March 10, 2012, 10:15:28 PM
is not a F*****G football player. Drop the old pals act Lee, FFS.

Also, BS's FAT GIT played a blinder, whilst our FAT GIT was atrocious.Thankfully, only 9 more games to go before our FAT GIT gets shown the door.

Together at Port Vale i think. IMO Simon Richman is an average right winger which is his position but he is not a central midfielder and is being made to look a worse player than he actually is by Lee Sinnott constantly playing him there!

Lee knew him from Port Vale. Unfortunately.

I don't think richman was any worse than the other two central players yesterday, infact he was tracking back more and putting in some key challenges, his distribution was poor

Plus he's a winger not a midfielder.

i think this is quite harsh, he's done nothing less than any other centre mid this season, he's not going to be worlds best...its the conf north for god sake!

And is that where you think this club should be ? Where is the mileage in us persisting with players who are barely good enough at this level ? We need to be signing players who can get us into BSP and keep us there. And it won't happen overnight. A poll will be following shortly.

He is the victim of this managers muddled thinking.

Like a number of other players he is being played out of position.

At least two of yesterdays back four were playing out of position.

The midfield was the usual muddled mess of players continually drifting around from position to position.

Our two sharpest forwards were pushed out wide so that they were barely involved.

Instead of signing 'utility' players LS need to go out and get a few specilists in. A left footed left back would be a good start.    

If is said that one of the secrets of Martin O'Neils success is that he refuses to play players out of position. Football is a pretty simple game really.

Not really rated him since he has been here. Ok on the right wing but certainly not in centre midfielder, as he gives the ball away far too much.

Think he is a useful squad player, but don't see him holding down a position in our starting xi, indeed I think some of his best performances this season have been when he comes on as a sub. Lee said he was impressed by his work rate and effort, I think this could lift us towards the end of games when we need a new burst of energy.

I was under the impression he'd had a few decent games recently.
