A typical Pards player?

Weegie Addick

Following the debates below re Reid etc, who do you think is a typical Pards player? What qualities does he look for?

For me, he seems to prefer the younger ones as he can bring out the best in them.

well Ambrose seems to have had a new lease of life....just hope he keeps it up!

Fitness, pace, ability to defend as well as attack (hence Dennis being out of the side), workrate.

Diawara back in the side - pace

Holland in Faye out - Workrate, fitness.

Thomas and Ambrose in - fitness, pace (maybe not defensive in Ambrose case)

Re my post on Reid - I dont doubt his natural ability, he has a sweet left foot but I dont think he would have lived withthe pace of the game on Saturday. He is more a foot on, slow the pace down kind of player with the ability to spot a good pass, we are more all action in your face at the moment.

I don't think there is a Pards type player yet, he seems to have got underperforming players to play which is great.. he put a fair bit of faith in Romm before now.

Agree with a lot of that, Southend. I'd add controlled aggression - another reason why Dennis is on the bench.

BlackForestReds

Pace, passing ability, team-work, running at players, positive aggression.

Maybe Thatcher is a typical Pards player, as he's the only one he's brought in

Song? Magic?

Salad

but surely that is about the first game Pards hasn't selected Romm?
