Agree with this. Certainly looked a lot more comfortable that Nyom did. Looked to play the ball forward when possible rather than just sideways or backwards.

Splendid tackle on Dawson in the 2nd half too!

Thought he for rinsed by a league 2 winger 5 or 6 times and was nowhere near as good as Nyom.

That's okay you are entitled to your opinion.

Rolling monthly contract, if heâ€™s cack he could be gone in 4 weeks whatâ€™s the problem?

Because if he's gone in 4 weeks, we still won't have a right-back and then won't be able to do anything about it until January.

is have to agree, he was nowhere near as bad as some people are making out, assuming heâ€™s only been with us a day a doesnâ€™t know the team he didnâ€™t do bad. First half he got up the pitch well and could have nicked a goal if I remember rightly. As a back up option we could do worse.

Somebody who works at the training ground informed me last night that Mears has been training with us for the last three weeks.

Didn't ask who else is working with us did you? You can whisper, you are amongst friends!

I thought he did OK last night certainly nothing totally disastrous on his watch

Just a memory, but in 1975 we signed a veteran right back and, whilst there were no forums like this or social media, most people reactions where I sat at the time, was just to roll their eyes, shake their heads in disbelief and moan, yes moaning is not a new phenomena and is not the domain of today's younger fans.

This player went on to be one of the most astute signings and one of the best right backs the club ever signed.

Not drawing any comparisons of course, just saying!

SmethDan · « **Reply #133 on:** August 29, 2018, 04:55:25 PM »

Paddy Mulligan was a seasoned international aged 30-31 when he signed for us.

His career total of fifty caps for the Republic of Ireland far outweigh Tyrone's cap for Jamaica.

I'm not going to draw any comparison with Tyrone Mears (35) either, just saying

Welcome to the Albion Tyrone, and all of the very best

strange that.... considering he actually played (on as a sub) for Minnesota against LA Galaxy, less than three weeks ago and was only released by them officially on the 27th of August......

Also mentioned "Iâ€™ve felt better each day Iâ€™ve been here" after about 1 minute 14 seconds.

Very true.

His last actual game for them was v FC Dallas on 19/08/2018 when he played 90 minutes as a centre half.

https://www.transfermarkt.com/spielbericht/index/spielbericht/3083797

As for the game with LA Galaxy he had three minutes as a sub on 12/08/2018.

Just passing on apparently duff info' while speed reading the forum with no time to check for myself (at the time).

Speaking of which, things to do.

Tara a bit.

No wonder he's been jet-lagged then!

Not been on the losing side yet.

Has come in and has done a job.

Fair play.

Needs letting go in January though.

It worries me that our academy isn't capable of producing someone who at the very least is at the same level as Mears.

I agree entirely. We seem incapable of developing players with a high sale value such as other teams like Southampton have been able to. Or perhaps more to the point Moore is not prepared to give our home grown players the opportunity to show what they are capable of in the first team, apart from occasional cameo appearances. Moore disappoints me. I expected more from him.

Adder · « **Reply #144 on:** October 04, 2018, 04:06:20 PM »

In fairness Mears did have one very good effort last night just before they got their second I think. Think it was him anyway doing a Matt Phillips style cut in from the right.

Dreadful again today. Should have been hooked a lot earlier. He must be aware hes past it too, feel a bit sorry for him.

He hasn't the legs or the quality to play the wing back role. I think he knows that himself. Can't hammer the bloke he's a stop gap doing the best he can but we clearly need an upgrade.

I agree, I actually feel sorry for him in a way.

Nobody has mentioned his assist for Gayles first goal though

That said, he shouldn't be playing.

gazberg · « **Reply #148 on:** October 06, 2018, 07:33:58 PM »

Thats why i feel sorry for him, hes clearly not capable and any footballer can feel it within themselves on the pitch. Not knocking him but should never have been signed.

Totally agree. When you feel sorry for a player, as many of us do, it tells you a lot. Totally out of his depth. Just cannot do the wing back role. The young lad Edwards, an out and out winger, was a big upgrade when he came on.
