The problem with @worthosoriginals is that I don't think I've ever seen him post an opinion on football. A view, whether right or wrong..something to interest us, to concur with, to define him. All he seems to do is to troll other's posts, pulling them for something up whenever he can. It's a little sad imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would it be worth recalling him straight after the game next Sunday to get him in for the last two games thereby reintegrating him into the team and giving Drinky a breather? Just a thought. Yes I don't see why not. Let's see if he can still perform at this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I'm saying is it would be refreshing just to know what his views on football are, not just his views on others posters posts, which seem typically to be very negative. If that makes sense.

Stadt Posted 30 April 2017 Share Posted 30 April 2017 When Drinkwater plays well we play well as a side, I don't think it's a coincidence that we've not been particularly convincing whilst winning as Drinky's out of form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickyblueeyes Posted 30 April 2017 Share Posted 30 April 2017 Every time Drinks has been tested and come up short, he's adapted, acclimatised and and improved. Next year, we'll be singing his praises again. A fit a rating to go Marty James and full season with Ndidi will no doubt assist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaelicFox Posted 1 May 2017 Share Posted 1 May 2017 Welcome home Matty ! Comments from Barnsley supporters James - Best player we have had in a Barnsley shirt in years would love him back but it's as likely as us signing Harry Kane James too because he's pure quality at this level but he'll be playing premier league football next season. James is beautiful to watch but out of reach. It's been a pleasure to watch you and I wish you well next season hopefully in the Premiership where you clearly belong. Absolute class above most we've seen in this league all season James has been the classiest player we have had for absolute ages. Thanks Matty for choosing to come here. I got the impression when we signed him that he had the choice of 3 or 4 clubs and wanted to be here. He's played like a player who wanted to be at this club. We managed to get the luxury of a Premier League player at a midtable Championship level. He's been a class apart in every game. Graceful and beautiful to watch. Poetry in motion. Makes the very difficult look very easy and effortless. Thanks Matty. Natural born footballer. Different physique, bit the way he moves around the pitch, and goes past players, James reminds me a lot of Peter Beardsley. Matty James is sheer class and it has been a pleasure to see him play. If only.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AjcW Posted 1 May 2017 Share Posted 1 May 2017 Surely the only issue was ever the injury wasn't it? People didn't actually question his ability before that did they? (Not really read through so interested to know) If he hadn't got injured when he did he'd be in the England squad right now, I really believe that. Great to see him getting back to fitness and doing well in the championship and I hope to see him back here pre season!

Matt James was pretty much ever present in a team that spent 3/4 of a season firmly rooted to the base of the Premiership. If he (and Esteban) were as good as everyone is making out, why was this? In a team that had Mahrez, Vardy, et al (not far off the same team that won the league the following season). Was Huth SO influential that he made nearly all the difference? I always liked James as I said before, but I think people are forgetting just how bad we were for very lengthy spells that season.

I think because it was his first season in the PL, just like it was with the others you mentioned. James would probably have progressed alongside Vardy, Drinkwater, Mahrez, Albrighton etc had he not got injured. Simpson and Albrighton barely played in the 14/15 season but they have improved drastically since. I'd like to think James would have had the same trajectory as his team mates.

We certainly were a boro or sunderland! The reality is that we generally didn't look too bad. Generally. There were quite a few games where 'we should have won' or 'should never have lost' was dead right. However, there WERE games where we looked utterly utterly awful. Two off the top of my head were Villa in the cup and Swansea away in the league. But there were many more. And didn't we have our longest run EVER without winning, under Pearson that season? People focus, with hindsight, on the great escape. And rightly so. But Christ, a midfield two of primarily Cambiasso and James hardly set the season alight did it? Until the last 7 games. Id love to see a midfield three next season of Ndidi, Drinks and James. But playing for Barnsley in the Championship is a million miles away from playing for Leicester in the Premiership. I'll reserve judgment until we see him play again in a blue shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huth did make a difference I thought we were close to getting results all season and can't remember being far behind any teams in most matches. I think something just clicked and where we are right now Matt James seems to fit the profile needed to give DD competition, you are right we need to see him Look we were bottom and it's pretty hard to argue against that.

Bazly Posted 1 May 2017 Share Posted 1 May 2017 Drinkwater started the season on fire. It was him and Kasper the only ones playing half of their usual game in the first six matches. When he got injured and had a couple of games off he came back like a lumbering carthorse with no sense of direction or timing. That was a long time ago and if anything he has got worse. If Musa was any good he would have pushed Drinkwater to the bench months ago so its a position we need to recruit for in the Summer. At least to give Drinkwater some competition.
