Pre Premier League Draft - Quarter Finals - MJJ vs. EAP
- Thread starter Indnyc
- Start date
Brutally tough one to separate. Lots to love about Edgar's defensive unit when we factor in Reid and Southall, probably the best in the draft, and can see the logic in Muhren and Currie's roles. My only quibble was servicing Gray and Smith with the direct and wing play game they shone best with at club level. The full backs were perfectly capable of doing that, but would struggle to get forward so much with Bell and Armstrong playing relatively high. Probably didn't help Edgar's case that I've got a boner for Nicol and Pearce's peaks within the draft timeline, both providing as strong a season as almost any full-back in the British game during their respective best campaigns. Beattie too was a superb player and an astute pick at no7.
Yeah, finally decided to vote, but the poll was already closed - smth like 2 or 3 minutesYou voted when poll was closing?
Ffs, a tie would have given me the tiebreaker victory!
Ah hard luck @Edgar Allan Pillow . Congratulation @MJJ great team and it'll be better with reinforcements
Damn...very, very unlucky @Edgar Allan Pillow .
Aye, it was a tough match to call. Edgar's defensive unit was the first thing to catch my eye but MJJ's was far from shabby either. I felt Muhren was well capable of providing the sort of delivery Gray and Smith would thrive on. I watched a fair bit of Ipswich researching John Wark and Muhren's delivery was brilliant. Somewhat Beckham-esque in the way he could ping crosses from deeper areas, so maybe not the sort of 'attack the byline' wingplay that they typically fed off, admittedly.

England did well switching from wingplay to wingless wonders. Both of these are well rounded CFs and will have ample service from Le Tiss, Muhren and Currie.
Great thread, well done MJJ and unlucky EAP, I'll certainly try and look in more of these types of threads
I loved both teams and could not decide so I decided it would be wrong to vote on a whim, unlucky @Edgar Allan Pillow and congrats @MJJ.
I couldn't decide before I fell asleep and then I couldn't get back online until now.
If it helps I probably would have voted for you this morning

Thanks for sleeping in guys.Cheers

You had an impervious defense blocking a barrage of shots in the final seconds of extra time. Alan Smith's flick sends Gray through 1 on 1 with the keeper seeming sure to score.... only to have the ref blow his whistle ending the match before Gray can shoot. EAP proceeds to have another tourettes meltdown at the ref
Eap: the pitch was dry.
Exam over
So guys what do you feel is the biggest area of weakness in my side?(other than the manager)

Reid - Souness would be the best DM base of this draft.
McGrath or a winger (Lennox or Heighway) will be fine too.
