He got booted out of the FA for not buying into their pass and move philosophy. ;)

:D In all honesty I’ve got no idea why Nesbitt doesn’t get on the pitch.

And I don’t think Agard is a bad player either, it’s just that playing with his back to goal doesn’t seem to be his forte.


Agard tries, he just is not that good and certainly with his ball control does not suit the way we play.

I believe it may have occurred once during his tenure with the Dons, but only once.

Agard is not a bad player and was a very successful goal scorer with Bristol City. He is not suited to being a single striker. Indeed he has suffered from playing under three successive managers here who have been obsessed with single striker formations. The fact that we continue to play this way when we have a squad stuffed full of forwards is beyond comprehension!

I think it's a case of we don't suit the way HE plays. :ugeek:

Or our player recruitment is utterly flawed, buying player who do not suit our style of play.

DM obviously takes exception to the lad's haircut

With good reason.

We should only pick players with good barnets. Sell all the rest.

If we want a winger with a good haircut, we should get Tahith Chong on loan from United (along with Angel Gomes).
As well as being a quick, skilful winger, Chong's the only player who can make Fellaini look bald. :)

BTW I can never get the photos to work, so if some kind person would post a picture of Chong's lovely mane then that would be much appreciated.

Ah maybe that's the answer to our problem. Put blinkers on our mid-fielders.
