PFA Team of the Year

[hodge]

Gallagher deserves a place in that team but that's a good midfield.

So he doesn't deserve a place then.....

Where did I say that?

I said it's a good midfield.

 

[JJH]

I may be interpreting it wrong but I think he's quoting you saying it's a good midfield, therefore Gallagher deserves no place in it..

I may be wrong though?

 

[JJH]

Is it Massimo Luango?

If it is - I've said his name on this forum wrong many times..

 

[PrestonCha]

Yup take a player you don't see much of, for one from the team you support Smith definitely deserves his place, he's been a key player for us this season and much of our success is due to him in the midfield.

Daniel Johnson has been instrumental in the more successful periods of the season, for 3 different clubs.

I don't think suggesting he possibly should have been included, should be ridiculed, fobbed off and simply attributed to club bias.

So shove your sarcastic "Brilliant" emoji up your shitter.

He does deserve a place in it, doesn't mean I can't rate the 4 players who have been picked though.

Gallagher has probably been our most effective player all season, joint top in the assists chart and has chipped in with goals too. Best set piece taker in the division from what i've seen.

There ^ you say he deserves a place, but if he's not been as good as the other four then he doesn't deserve a place as well as he may have played.

The whole point of it was picking two Preston players who he watches and suggested taking out Smith or Luongo who he hadn't seen much of so not much of an informed idea of why Smith was in the team in the first place. Like others have said you have to watch Smith for a fair amount of the season and when he's not playing to really understand what he brings to the team.

What are you going on about you thick gimp?

Where have I said he's not as good as the other 4? I think he's better that Korey Smith for a start and probably on par with Freeman.

I'd have Johnson over Luongo - not sure about Gallagher over any of those 4 though.

 

[TTOCS]

Gallagher v Smith not exactly a like for like comparison is it.

Gallagher v Freeman, now you're talking.

Hard to compare two players like Gallagher and Smith and what they contribute, Gallagher vs Freeman is a fairer comparison to make.

I'll be honest, im not particularly bothered about it all to be honest mate but, your reasoning here sounds exactly like the club biased opinion, that you've just accused Ben of.

Korey Smith has been a big part of a successful team, expected to do well.

DJ was running games for Chesterfield & Oldham (2 clubs who weren'texpected to have any sort of success) before moving to us and being a part of our rejuvenation.

I think that's a pretty strong case for inclusion over Korey Smith. Present club bias aside.

As I said though, I genuinely don't give a flying carrier bag of shite. I just found your attempt to ridicule Bens opinion pretty uncalled for.

As you were....

 

[TTOCS]

Don't think it was 'Alec' calling 'Ben' a 'thick gimp' though was it.

I misinterpreted what he meant, I read it as though he thought Gallagher deserved to be in the side but the other four were better, clearly not the case as it turns out.

I don't think we'd be anywhere near as sucessful if we didn't have Korey Smith in our midfield, it would make us play in a totally different way without him cleaning up for us at the back and wouldn't give players like Freeman their freedom to play the way they do, in many ways he does the job of a CM and a CDM playing together at the same time.

But anyway like I said I misinterpreted so nothing to this anyway.

 

[SF_]

I'd have Johnson over Luongo - not sure about Gallagher over any of those 4 though.

Paul Gallagher is a much better player than Daniel Johnson.

Johnson is great for his moments of magic but he can go missing in games, Gallagher has stepped up to the plate all season and should be plying his trade in the Championship. Our best player after Garner.

 

[JonBCFC]

As much as i love Korey, I do think Gallagher should of made the team ahead of him. The quality of midfielders in this league is extremely high this year.

 

[PrestonCha]

I wouldn't say Gallagher is much better than DJ.

I think they're technically on a par, at the moment.

This season Gallagher has 'stepped up to the plate' so to speak, but lets not forget, he's been just as guilty of shirking the big games, in the past.

 

[Krazy8]

No Bajner?

Absolute disgrace

Not this season though, he's also become a lot tougher off the ball and his defensive work has improved tenfold.

He's a much more complete player than Johnson who offers nothing defensively.

Who would I be to argue - basing it off the 6 or 7 times I've seen you this season.

Both impressive players - Johnson has always provided that moment of magic whenever I've seen you though.

Apart from of course - the game against us at Deepdale, where him and Freeman both cancelled each other out.

 

[zanderpne]

Daniel Johnson should easily be in

11 goals and I think 16 assists for three different teams.

MK reject.

Johnson said in an interview that he rejected you.

[Bacchus]

Only because he wanted a guaranteed spot in the first team, with Alli ahead of you in your main position I can't see that happening somehow. Shame it's one of those badly timed things, Johnson would be the perfect replacement for Alli and we'd have got him on a free rather than the hefty pricetag he's going to be worth now. Similar players, both excellent in the deep midfield role coming forward and creating attacks while scoring the odd goal or two.

Although while it does sound a bit Americanised, thinking about all these end of season best XIs does make me wonder how good a Football League All-stars mini tournament would be at the end of every season between the League Two, League One and Championship XIs of the season for a yearly title like a kind of FL Community Shield. Although the logistics of putting together teams of multi-club players could be awkward, it does sound quite appealing the prospect of seeing some outrageous sides. If there was some practical way of making it happen I could see it being a hit, who wouldn't want to see a team with Luongo, Alli and Freeman in a midfield trio with Garner up front?

 

[Coalite]

Well done Eoin Doyle, fully deserved [runs for cover].

As for Daniel Johnson, there's definitely a case for him being in there. The TFF vote will be interesting.

I thought Alli played more of a holding role?

That sounds like an amazing idea, would love that to happen.

 

[Bacchus]

Yeah, you'd play him as a holding midfielder paired up with Johnson and Freeman in the no.10 role.

 

[TomPNE94]

Hmmm, I've not seen Johnson in a holding role, he always plays behind the strikers.
