Whether we’re persevering with Atkinson or not, we need a starting RCB this window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ignorance is bliss eh He had a long break between the Olympics finishing in July and the A League starting up in November. He should have been fresher than just about all our squad in January. As for playing through June, the Peru game was 3 weeks after the cup final and he was given extra weeks off. I'm not sure that made a huge difference. Not everyone is the same, but Rowles and Devlin adapted to the league easily. Atkinson hasn't yet and I'm not sure he has it in him. He's too far short of the required standard in too many areas imo. He's still young enough to improve and I'm not suggesting we bin him yet. Come January that might be different, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't disagree with that, taking him out to build him back up would not be a bad thing if Smith can manage, with possibly Sibbick and Neilson covering him at RB.

Some absolute zoomers in our support! Correct. Won us a penalty in an away European game. For their goal, the middle ch has to drop deeper and attack the ball, the very thing Halkett would do.

He looks the same because we have not had the opportunity to integrate as the project he was meant to be. Similarly now any signing will basically be play and recover until November, its not ideal.
