Laverde still has that new draftee “could be anything”* smell, mostly due to injuries. Also he looks like the platonic ideal of a footballer, so that gets him a bonus three years of hype.

*never acknowledge that “anything” includes “bad”

I just hope that if he does get a chance he makes the most of it

Jackson Merrett compared to Laverde… really?

Jerrett is 25 and has played 54 games.

Laverde is 22 and has managed 23 games (and also has his share of detractors).

It really shouldn’t be that hard to work out why there is hope for one, and not a lot of enthusiasm for the other.

All the best to whoever takes the field however.

Stants has retired and Myers played a very good game.
Green is a top notch professional ( our) scab.
Here’s hoping Jackson plays well, if only to throw the search for a whipping boy into total confusion

If Raz can’t play I’d be happy with Jerret - hope he grabs the chance & plays with confidence.

Hello Mrs Merrett

SplitRound is saying he sees Laverde as someone to be intimate and affectionate with, but not in a sexual way.*

*May not be true.

Laverde = platonic footballer
Langford = laconic footballer

What next, Goddard = hypertonic, Redman = Masonic, Myers = bionic

runs like a robot…

Which is more than green or Stringer

He’s not going to be our saviour. He doesn’t have to be. Keep the chase on, break hard into space, make good decisions with the ball, hopefully get onto the end of a goal.

Good sides are built on guys doing roles, not natural talent

I just meant he looks like a footballer. I guess it’s more a maths-specific turn of phrase than I thought?

Cue @barnz
