Really? Why havent we found one since JJ? Please dont say Rama and Watson.danstar84 wrote: Easier to find gun midfielders than it is KPP talent.
I guess we shall find out todayrobrulz5 wrote:It is a bit hard to say who is closer to number 17 when both clubs are so far far away at the moment.
Apart from last week is our midfield really that bad?Crazyman wrote: a midfield that can't get their hands on the ball or gets pushed off it too easily...
I'm not sure our game plan suits the fact we've got "plenty" of talls. Why didn't we use them last week? We seem to be playing as if we have Carlton's list of midfielders, not that ours are terrible, but we don't use our list effectively. Why don't we take advantage of the height we have? We kick long and high... but to a short forward line. Go figure.Jazz_84 wrote:good article but as they "seem" closer right now i bet in real terms we are.... that might sound stupid considering how we played last week but as Dan said we have emerging KPP talent and plenty of it! structure "should" always win out in the end
Probably not that bad, but let's get real...they are nowhere near the better sides...robrulz5 wrote:Apart from last week is our midfield really that bad?Crazyman wrote: a midfield that can't get their hands on the ball or gets pushed off it too easily...
Yep, both he and Colyer had great first up games. Now for them to show it consistently against great opponents...little_ripper wrote:we found number 17 tonight....

I fall guilty of the above. I will attempt to be more realistic in my appraisals.robbie67 wrote:This is so true.
