Title: Gardner
Post by: Branton Rover on December 27, 2021, 08:41:27 pm
Thought he looked quite good after he entered the fray today - probably because he’s a bloke who was playing in an adolescent midfield - but seriously if he can get himself fit might be able to contribute more second half of the season. I do realise this might not be a popular view but we’re in need of his like a bit of experience not necessarily a great player but can put himself a bit

I agree that he did well when he came on.
A couple of lads near me seemed very disappointed that he did so.

Thought he looked completely out of shape and was blowing out of arse everytime he ran.
Plus he could have been sent off for his lunging challenge 5 minutes after coming on.

He did enough to show that once totally fit he could contribute positively to the team.

To be fair, he has been banned from first team training for weeks on end so isn’t likely to be anywhere near peak fitness.

Think you’re thinking of Williams, not Gardner, Hound?

I wouldn't be surprised if he was banned. After he was dragged off after scoring an owl goal Wellens said to him you'll never play for this club again. Another cracking piece of man management from Wellens.

To be honest I was disappointed he came on but like others thought he did very well when he did and showed some fight at least

That pretty much sums up the entirety of his Rovers career.

Another hopeless signing, he didn't look fit when he was fit, can't run, poor passing, well past his sell by. We need better, much better.

I guess Sunderland fans will be asking for travelling expenses, only three goals against a second bottom side with half the team out from injury or covid and few of the rest worth fielding ............... and the worst GD in L1  :)

Oh, and a temporary manager.

Was completely vacant like the rest of midfield. And lucky he didn't connect with his reckless attempt on one of their players.

Shino, that’s twice this week I have dropped a bollock like that.

That was in retaliation to the chap coming straight through Rowe and getting away with it
Doesn't make it right though
