Oliver Skipp Confirmed

[pmcla26]

Would people say Josh Cullen, Ilya Gruev and Hamza Choudhury are all comfortably better than Skipp? 
 

They’re the 3 players who play the same role as he does in the top 3 teams in the Championship this season. He’ll be fine.

What you are saying implies that you think Skipp is better than those two. I wonder when people realise that Skipp is dogmuck, whether he cost £25mil or £5mil.

 

I really don't think he's any better as a 25 year old than Armstrong is at 33 and im not Armstrong's biggest fan either.

At least Armstrong's had a respectable career, Skipp on the other hand is so bad that he has people bringing up that one championship season with Norwich 5 years ago to defend his ability.

Skipp will be one of the better players on the Champ next season. It was a terrible purchase, at a terrible price, but in that division he will be one of the better players.

The bloke will have an absolute cigar on in the championship next year. He’s never worth the fee we paid but that’s not his fault. Think people should be directing the agenda towards the board in his case and not the player.

Hopefully he gets a bit more stuck in defensively next season

 

4 tackles won and 9 interceptions

 

He has actually committed more fouls than that combined - 17

 

He isn’t that good a passer, not much of a dribbler, and has shown very little defensively

So a totally useless stat then

As someone else posted, Skipp (the whole team look well uncooked fitness wise).

 

I’d like to see how a fit Skipp looks. He does have an interesting running technique but before we signed him, I thought he was a robust CM that can get around the pitch.

 

One of the many internal investigations needs to be our players fitness levels. 
 

We looked unfit under Cooper too, so safe to say an underlying issue.

Gonna say it, think he will be a good player in the championship, he's only 24. As everyone knows this game is all about confidence, its like alot of our players regardless of their abilities/lack of your a much much better player with confidence.

Yeah but you asked for an explanation not a justification.
