Smoking Kills Dancing Doe Coppell again in The EP saying he's going to buy a right winger.

I think Bobby will find himself out the team in January.

No way Hunt is getting dropped. Espicially after Coppell's recent comments about Hunty...

No chance, once Bobby is fully match fit, which after only a handful of games he still isn't, he will be far more effective than Hunt. Bobby's workrate isn't that far behind Hunt's and he doesn't look like starting a fight avery 5 minutes. Hunt will become a very useful addition to the subs bench.

I'm not sure if you are agreeing or disagreeing with me there.... :?

Ian Royal Lets not expect too much of the team and Convey going into the next game. We were given space on the wings and time on the ball.

Birmingham won't do us that sort of favour, but hopefully the team can use the confidence and boost in form they've got to battle through and get a victory.

Just don't expet to see bobby rampaging down the wing. He's likely to have two markers rather than none.


You're probably right, but attracting two markers leaves space for another Reading player. Just hope it's one of our smarter ones who sees it and knows how to use it. Kitson best bet there.
Exactly what the pass to harper looked like, Convey attracted the attention and was able to split an off balance line very nicely.
Convey is not going to be a right sided Little, but as we saw two years ago, they were both better because of the other. Now, i don't believe we'll ever see little again (which is horribly sad). But the whole point about weak crosses misses the point of width, doesn't it? He creates it, spreads the defense, creates gaps, and manages to exploint them, or put others in position to do so.

Having a great day doesn't mean much, but it's a nice start, and the problem this year has been we've looked so off balance. At least he's been giving us width and balance.
Agree with the idea of seeing Cisse. Gunn seems much more effective in spot play, not week in, week out.

starbug I guess he's a love him or hate him sort of player, going through the comments here you'd have thought he was another Little in the making whereas the performances I see are like watching a little boy who is out of his depth.

Yes the pass to Harper was good, but seriously I think we all could have done that one... winning a header when not challenged to Gunnarsson hardly constitues an goal assist :roll: and yes he had a vicious shot in the first half and very unlucky to see it just miss.

My problem is that he is a winger, and when he's on the ball on the wing he rarely goes past anyone and rarely gets a cross in. And dont get me started on tackling, I lost count of the times I was shouting for him to get stuck in on Saturday.

I'm not having a go at him per se as he's probably the best option at the moment in that position, I'm just baffled as to why people like him so much, maybe I've been spoilt too long watching Little :lol:


You are without doubt the most blind and unintelligent poster ever.

Yeah, I wondered about that. Is that an Americanism for substitute?

We'll see. But there's no way Coppell will drop Hunt.

No way. He's his perfect winger, everything he loves in a player.

Coppell's 11 Steven Hunt's comment shows that clearly enough.

SKDD, didn't he say something similar about Andy Hughes and yet sold him at the end of the season to Norwich for a half a mil?

Ah. It's all a cunning plan.

As you say worked a treat with Hughes.

£500k?? Still makes me chuckle!!

I'd be more likely to agree with the suggestion that Convey will be dropped upon signing a new right winger if it weren't for the fact the he is now back out on the left and Hunt has been shifted to accomodate that.

Coppell has signed Hunt on three separate occasions - for Palace, Brentford and for Reading.

I just think he thought Hunt was better on the right, rather than wanting Bobby on the left.

None of us really know though. Hopefully we'll see when we sign a top quality right winger in January!!

I don't see the reason for the animosity towards Hunt and the virtual deification of Convey

Is it something to do with appearance/culture/style

Hunt looks like an Irish pikey and runs around like a duracell bunny
Convey is the cocksure American with style, pace and grace...however that doesn't make him necessarily a better or more effective player

perhaps we are judging the the two players using the wrong criteria

Hunt often follows up his good moments with moments of Bas Savage numptiness.

Convey's weaker spells are pretty anonymous in comparison.

Hence, when Hunt does something wrong, its more obvious.

Convey has also not had any of the headline grabbing moments such as the Cech accident, Gillespie or that poor lad up at Citeh who Hunt tried to maim.

we'll see
but hunt had all those attributes when convey was a head of him in the championship and half the 1st prem season too


perfect winger is just rubbish, and makes copps out to be some sort of a dumbass.
he is, and has been our best option on the left for about a year now. ill give you that
and the 11 steven hunts comment was just saying that if we had 11 players with hunts effort commitment and energy levels it would be great
which it would be-it does nothing to show that coppell would actually like 11 steven hunts in his team

If I quality right winger comes in January - I would expect to see Convey start over Hunt. Only my guess.

no animosity

nor deification(just defecation from some)

just honest appraisals of both players strengths and abilities in comparison to each other
according to peoples opinions

personally i love them both, and think they should both get their fair share of starts depending on the opposition
but that essentially convey is the better football player
IMHO

In most circumstances in the premiership yes.

Just look at the last match. Convey set up the penalty and Harper's goal. He also had a great shot that narrowly missed.

Hunt ran around a lot caused problems and was a nuisance. He also scored a penalty.

I'd say on that Convey was the more effective. Hunt will be one of the best impact subs around and we already know Coppell likes to bring his wingers off with 20 to go to keep them fresh. I can see Hunt being picked for games where hassling the oppostion and getting in their face is more important, as well as cup games.

I think whilst not over the moon he would be one of few players good enough to step in seamlessly when needed, who would be wiling to stay and do that rather than move on.
