What ever happened to good old fashioned wing play, beating your man and getting a ball into the box ? Compton manages to beat his man and get a ball across but very rarely a quality ball and franks either knocks it on too far or cuts back on himself 3 times. Not realy much point playing with a target man if we have nobody to pick him out.

Franks would find a way to hit the first man on an empty field.

Franks is incapable of this and Compton isn't much better.

We almost need to bin EVERY player on the books when this god awful season is finished and start again but we never do. Instead we'll sack Ronnie Moore, give Austin another contract and have Sam Collins running the show.

Not many wingers are going to beat their man continuously and put a great ball in. That's why they are playing in league 2.

Compton has the better ability but think if he had the attitude of franks he wouldn't be here. Think franks tries but ultimately isn't good enough

Agree with chunky. Compton could be a very good league 1 maybe championship player but hasn't got the fight or the consistency in him. And franks you can never fault his effort as he can beat a man and do the hardwork he just can't seem to get many crosses in the good areas. If we could somehow mould them together we'd have a good player. Jock cranks.

Franks beat a man twice in the first half yesterday.

Unbelievable scenes.

Of course his cross hit the first man but let's not be greedy here.

Compton had a good first half yesterday off the back of his best game in a long time on tuesday, as for franks, he pops up with 2 goals v plymouth and took them both very well and then goes mia since.

Fenwicks desire to get on the end of things and passion for the club is what we need all around if we are gonna have any chance of getting out of this. Harewood on the other hand is a complete joke, his shot that almost hit the corner flag v northampton and then fluffing it when connor smith sent him 1v1 coupled with a complete no show on saturday. He has nothing at all to offer us and is a complete waste of a wage.

Fuck the Wingers, forget them. As previously discussed, they rarely do the job anyway. Fenwick Franks Smith. Way to go.

Tommy Butler

Andy Monkhouse.

Ritchie Humphries

All pretty good wingers.

Both Compton and Franks are shyte though.

I agree with Elvis, no wingers 4-3-3 with Tish, Woods and Bates with Fenwick, Franks and someone other than Marlon or Marvin upfront

Like i said proper winger.

Butler used to cut inside.

Humphreys was a centre mid.

Monky never really used to beat a man like smith did.

Humphreys could play in quite a few positions and do a decent job.

In fact, he's doing just that in a team chasing promotion in the league above us.

Well done to him, didn't do it for 5 years for us.

I'm sure he's a great servant etc. though.

At left back he was worse than Austin, Jones or Holden.

Paul Bielby(MBE) was an outstanding out n out winger for us in the late seventies, as was Kevin Johnson.

How many players haven't 'done it for us' in recent years?

Humphreys,Liddle,Walton,Hartley,Monkhouse?
I'd have every one of them in our side now.

Our best ever Wing "Partnership" was without doubt Nigel Walker and Brian Honour in 85-86. If we'd have had Baker and Allon up-front, and not Borthwick and Shoulder, we'd have been promoted by Easter... instead of finishing 7th.

Personally wouldn't have Peter Hartley anywhere near my team. Was mediocre at best, a liability at worst and if a player has conceded more penalties for us then I'd like to know who.

The Turner/Zippy promotion season featured Humphreys on the left wing throughout it, he was absolutely quality as well scoring double figures (lots of quality goals as well) so I reckon he could be classed as one of our better wingers for that season alone.

Why the fook do we always play out to the wing?.every single attack ends up going out to the corner flag.the ball is put in to the middle only to be cleared time and time again.whats wrong with goin for THE GOAL.straight down the middle,attack there defenders.HAVE A FOOKING shot at the goal.sorry sorry.but every match is the same,play out to the corner flag at all costs even if a promising attack on goal is looking good.NO lets get the ball back out to the corner flag..WHY ??

To give the lumbering giant, who scares the shit of of defenders, a chance to amble into the box, where he cannot jump to head the ball of course, wake up man :angry-screaming:

He reminds me of a tortoise, trudging across a field of peanut butter, with 6 inch heels on banghead

Humphreys was more than a central midfielder

You can say what you like about Fenwick, but the kid consistently makes runs into scoring positions in the box. Shame the two that started yesterday dont bust a gut doing the same.


I think franks is utter shite. He tries very hard but just lacks the ability. However he put 1 fantastic ball in to box on Saturday and no one attacked it. Tbf no one probably expected it either.

Franks has footballing ability. He can get into good positions, can control the ball, pass the ball etc. He has all of the basics a footballer needs, he is just very slow with the ball at his feet, and for a winger that isn't the best of traits to have.

Upfront he is an okay player, and certainly better than Harewood, and anything I have seen from Morgan so far.
