And they did fail to win. Needed an injury time penalty save to draw 0-0.

First couple of months of the season? Unstoppable.

Last couple of months? Definitely stoppable.
 
Aberdeen?? And some clueless folk said he should be starting Premier League matches 😭

Who and where have said he SHOULD be starting Premier League matches?
At some point it might have seemed that he would HAVE TO, just due to the massive injury list in defense.

But I would have liked him to start against Non-League side and give some rest to either Radu or Archie. Though seems that loan deal was in works already before the game.

I guess we'll learn his true level long way down the line.

Loads of posts on here saying he should be playing league games. I think even last season people wanted to see him play PL games.

How about for every post / poster I find you make a £10 donation to a charity??

I’m stuck waiting for a delivery for the next hour. Time is my friend!!

Feeling rich and charitable???
:bissoumahear:
 
The league splits after 33 games so there's more fixtures not scheduled yet plus they're obviously expected to go quite far in the cup.

rysharp rysharp Zomb all did in the wake of the potential Dragusin injury.

Your argument doesn't make sense anyway, whether he would have to play due to injury or not people still wanted him to start when it was OBVIOUS he wasn't good enough

This love just confirms it.
 
SPL will have a good range of challenges for Dorrington - on the one hand Celtic and Rangers will be difficult opponents with good players, and at the other end of the spectrum a number of other clubs will be closer to L1/L2 or NT standards.

EXACTLY - suggestion was in light of potential Dragusin injury.
That was already on top of Davies injury.
That came on top of Romero and VDV injury ffs.
I do not know what to say at this point. Is there absolute zero ability to grasp CONTEXT of things and situations?

No one have suggested to start Dorrington in EPL if... you know there would be like real alternatives.
For matter of fact, IF Dragusin would have been unavailable, maybe Dorrington would have had to start. We will never know.

At this point taking pride and happyness from suggesting our academy prospect would not be good enough (which as I pointed out - only time will tell, you or anyone else have proved fuck all) just says quite a lot about you as person and poster though.

What the fuck are you talking about lmao

You're doing way too much, trying to look for context that isn't there..at the end of the day I said he should not play and the manager didn't play him when he could have and I agreed with him...certain fans were adamant that the manager was wrong for leaving him out because he doesn't know what he's doing...

There's no pride of happiness here, I want him to improve and I'm glad he's going to somewhere where he's playing regularly.

Yep. I would have played him there over Bissouma or some other bastard solution
