It must be a Viking thing - they were from both right?<BR/><BR/>I think Roy is accepting a certain ammount of "free play" from Bullard as long as it's tempered. Jimmy's playing in a very different way now to the way he played when Hodgson first arrived.<BR/><BR/>I'd also like to see Andreasen in the team but the difficulty there is I think that would mean either dropping Murphy (who is our orchestrator) or one of the strikers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2388784807245003537.post-6293999856090984802008-10-28T08:03:00.000+00:002008-10-28T08:03:00.000+00:00Good stuff Chopper.

I agree about JB, but I think the problem lies in the way he's being *allowed* to play - Hodgson must endorse his roaming and sometimes selfish play or he'd surely drop him? <BR/>The other possible solution is to stick a strictly defensive player behind him (Andreasson?). This would push him further forward (20 yard pot-shots instead of 30 yard ones?), and also make his wandering less risky.<BR/>(P.S. I think Mr. Nevland is Norweigian - 'Erik The Great Dane' would be an odd nickname to carry around!)smfifteenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11468550163136140715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2388784807245003537.post-16980699931025915092008-10-27T22:29:00.000+00:002008-10-27T22:29:00.000+00:00Very good stuff from Colin here.http://championshi...Very good stuff from Colin here.<BR/><BR/>http://championshipatbest.com/what-happens-jimmy<BR/><BR/>Which provides a more quantative view on the Bullard situation, but arrives at basically the same conclusion.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
