Ratings.

[Ronnie Hotdogs]

Kenny just dug out James in the interview making clown boy seem even more of a clown.

Just looked up the independent player ratings websites. Over three, James ranks in the top two across all of them averaging 7.3. Sofascore had him as our top player against Mansfield at 7.4. Pretty good I’d say. Consistent opinions.

It’s a game of opinions, but to rate him at such a low as 5.5 is frankly ludicrous. He had a good solid game and much of our creativity comes from him. It is just so good to have that in a number 2 at long last.

My guess, that score reflects sour grapes that he is such an upgrade on he who went before. I just cannot fathom another reason other than knowing feck all about football.

Bera the ling fanboy has had it in for James from day one.

Found out at the game smith (apparently) has a tear in his knee from the challenge at home against Oldham… but is determined to carry on playing so is managing his training load in order to be available on game days. Thoughts?

No doubt the club can determine the risk of him playing, whilst managing training and the risk of serious damage and prolonged absence. I doubt the club will risk him long term for short term gain. They know what they are doing.

Jackett 7 - we were second best in the first, got them going after the break.

Ref - 2. Shocker

Mansfield Town - 0. Racist pricks.

It's a free country, if Mansfield don't want to take the knee, that is their porogative, doesn't make them racists, your obviously part of the problem as well, as you think your right and anybody not of your opinion is wrong.

You might not believe this but yes, I do think my opinions are right. What sort of f*cktard are you if you think your opinions are wrong?

No need for abuse unless it's because you think you are on a sticky wicket, the rest of it doesn't make sense either, Dumb cluck?

Do your own ratings then clown boy!

Says a Bloke who quoted John Sitton to explain his score

I noticed that too, but chose not to mention it.

I literally have no idea what you are waffling on about. Anyone can do the ratings, it’s easy, type ratings in a subject bar and start doing it or just do it under mine, either way, it’s just an opinion and as nobody else seems to bother. Again, it was just my opinion, there was no ulterior motive about Ling or any other conspiracy theory about why he got 5.5. Secondary, and I don’t really know why I am responding, pfffffttt, James was the player that I liked from day one, I was giving hotdogs stick because he had doubts. James has got high marks every week, yesterday I thought he was poor. Kenny is not the kind to dig anyone out but even he mentioned his name and how he didn’t put the crosses in he normally does. Sounds like next Saturday I better up my game and the time spent doing it from 30 seconds to at least a minute as I had no idea how much influence I had. Pfffffttttt x2

James has been excellent in recent weeks. A drop in standards doesn’t mean poor. Good, but not as good as he has been. Not complex. Do we rubbish Smith, Drinan, Archibald because after some good performances they didn’t score!

Nothing that rates 5.5 which just about gives him credit for putting his boots on the right feet. Sure others do ratings, but it wasn’t just one site, consistent across all three a point I made, and yours is lower than anybody else’s views.

Mind blowing.

That’s not great, is it. And is possibly showing in his performances (understandably) now it’s been pointed out. I was actually hoping on Saturday that Ruel was coming on for him, not Drinnan, as Aaron looked the better bet to get something. (Then Smithy goes and sets up a gilt edged chance for Ruel, so what do I know!)

Could really do with Smyth back to share the load, though.

Can't believe we'll never see him on the bench at an EFL Trophy game.
