Tom Edwards Signed - Terrier Inbound!

[Paphos Terrier]

I thought Tom Edwards had a decent game yesterday for his debut but the game turned out to be a bit of a non-event with the sending-off.
The lad I was impressed with for them yesterday was the mid-fielder Sahraoui I think it was, very technically gifted and comfortable on the ball.
He's just the sort of playmaker Town needs Mr. Warnock

He might not fancy coming in to training to get 2 footed by Pearson again 😖

Pearson was very lucky to not get sent off for that challenge, league game he would have been off. Pity about the sending off for them, would have liked Town to have had a more sterner test before the Plymouth game.

No, you are wrong. I watched him play when he first signed with my own eyes. I was at the matches. He was abysmal.

Fans changed their opinions of him when he started to improve, and eventually became one of our most reliable and consistent performers.

But if you want to re-write history, you crack on.

Just a silly use of the word 'abysmal' isnt it because he was nothing like that. Total over-exaggeration that makes the point youre making nonsense.

he struggled initially with the step up and was perhaps 'poor' until he got up to speed. Then he was surprisingly good.

I stand by my original point. I don't think it was silly or nonsense. I have explained clearly why I thought Turton's early performances were "abysmal".

I have given Turton plenty of credit for his improvement at Town in this and other threads. I have given what I consider an honest and balanced assessment. We'll agree to disagree. As I often do with you.

Heard on the HTTC pod he likes a beer ?

It was rumoured when he came through at Stoke he was seen out most Saturday nights.

[Henry Mcgee]

You can understand our manager being a bit non-plussed by the booing of Edwards - his stats under AB ...

- Has come on as sub in 4 games
- Played 50 minutes in total
- No goals conceded
- Town have scored 3
- 2 wins from losing/drawing positions (AB's only 2 wins!)
- An assist for one of those wins

So was Frankie Worthington and the rest of that late 60s 2nd division team . Probably one or two made it out Friday night too 😁

I think you are letting facts get in the way of opinions. You forget to add that he did a solid job when he came on Saturday and allowed Headley the space to get forward for the corner that won it. Let’s hope he never scores as the boos will reach fever pitch.

I sit in the KB stand & initially presumed the boos/groans were because Pat Jones was not the final sub that I think most wanted or expected.......Comments around me were directed mainly at AB, rather than TE.

[duncfost01]

I think the boos are as much aimed at Cartwright as they were Edwards.

He was embarrassing at Leeds Away.

Cartwright is on his 4th manager in less than a year.

[dugnet]

I don't particularly like digging individual players out but I would make this observation; If Tom Edwards is the answer I don't think we have really understood the question.

[boooothy]

Hurry back Ollie Turton

I know it’s all about levels and this is a shit comparison by me.
I remember Lowe got absolutely rinsed by Antonio at West Ham. I mean really rinsed, looked like a pub player. 

[overtonterrierspirit]

Between us all there are hundreds of things we are not happy with but surely when we are in the middle of a fight to avoid dropping into the football backwater of League 1,there is currently only one thing that matters.
Getting behind the team.

[Captainslapper]

Its irrelevant if hes not very good ( he isnt but nowhere near as poor as some make out ) .. if hes wearing a town shirt out on that pitch then booing him is about as dateless as it gets.
Any Town 'fan' doing that is a damned sight more embarrassing than Edwards performance was at Leeds.

Most fans in the ground won't have a clue or indeed a care what Cartwright is responsible for, if they even know who he is.

[drumriggend]

I don’t boo my own players..



He’s done ok as a sub when needed recently..




However how does a professional footballer in his 20s have a beer belly..




I could see his paunch from the top tier of the family stand..





🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

Blows my mind that fans think it does anything else than add pressure.

Oh but “they are paid well enough to deal with the pressure” is what often then gets said, but it’s not the point. We want to help build confidence as a fan, not make them feel on edge.

Completely understand boo’ing a player for being half arsed, that’s not acceptable but for being in bad form/not good enough isn’t one.

[Detective Boyle]

His cameo on Saturday was one of the worst I’d ever seen, genuinely, lost the ball twice in the middle of the pitch attempting a lofted pass which he couldn’t get above waste height. Let’s not sugar coat it. The boos though do absolutely nothing to help us, it’s just not what you need.

[buxtonboys101]

Me and my mate were having a right moan on Saturday during the match. Moaning at Millwall’s tactics; moaning about our failure to put the ball in the net; moaning at various attempts by players to pass the ball to team members; moaning at the manager for not making changes although he did eventually and they were by and large successful although I still don’t know why Koroma is the fall guy of so many managers. To me he is one of the few who can actually score. Anyway it came as a shock when the boos started when Edwards came on. Moaning amongst friends is one thing but booing a Town player, no matter how poor is not helpful.


PS no complaints this week on the ref. He was far better than some we have had in recent weeks. If we had him against Rotherham we might have won.

[Mastercracker]

I still couldn't be arsed to do it but I think it's only acceptable to boo players if they are blatantly taking the piss. Think Kongolo after we got relegated.

I don't think Edwards is doing that, he's just crap. Middling L1 at absolute best.

And he knew it - he immediately apologised to his team mates both times...and got on with getting involved.

I think we underestimate the impact the blustery wind had - especially as a player coming into a game where everyone else has got used to the conditions.

Has a keeper repeatedly booted the ball into touch as many times as the Millwall keeper did - and I've no real idea what we were doing in the last minute hoofing it into the south end of the Kilner Bank, it almost seemed like some kind of bizarre tactical choice but I'm sure it was just the wind?!

All the subs seemed to struggle with actually finding a Town player...except when Wiles had the vision and ability to complete this Mooy-esque pass...maybe there's hope for him to contribute to the future yet 🤞

[bells ringing :)]

I respect AB for defending his players, it shows a possible connection building which is good to see. The players would rather be defended by their bosss, than being left out to dry. This may help in the full team effort we need to stay up.

I don't think you'd find many who don't know who the DoF is?!

Edwards is unfortunately the fall guy since he just looked such a poor signing from one of MCs old clubs. Other fans saying he struggled in L1 and Stoke not wanting him. Seemed he'd be substandard and that seems to be the case.

Factor in the Leeds game and he looks overweight and unfit. Booing him is bang out of order however I think a lot of fans thought they'd just witnessed town relegated and hope had turned to anger like it does.

I'm not excusing it at all, I let out a quiet groan myself mainly because I thought Jones would be coming on!

I’ve been watching Town for longer than I care to remember and if Cartwright was stood right in front of me I’d have no idea who he is. 
The players, the manager, the owner. That’s all I want to know. I know it’s a totally selfish outlook and I know I’m in a minority of one. 

[sabailand]

Someone left a good comment the other day basically saying that apart from being run ragged by Summerville v Leeds whats he done thats particlarly bad, ok he was out of condition and all the rest, hes come on as sub a few times and had an impact once (assist v watford), hes not the devil incarnate and anyone who boos their own players should just go jump in the sewerage works with all the rest of the shit.

Totally agree, look at a lot of the Leeds crowd at the end of last season, disgraceful how they treated their players... no doubt none of the booers then are still going though

Playing like he did against Leeds, claiming a concussion so he could come off at half time and then going out on the piss that evening means I'll never have much time for him
