Regarding Runarsson, Glen Williams reply to me

Fri Dec 15, 2023 9:55 am

Glen Williams:

“I keep getting told it's nothing to do with terms of loan, but I find it utterly bizarre he is persisting with Runarsson, too. Alnwick was really growing in confidence (and doing well with his feet until that Watford mistake!). Runar has made a mistake in almost every game.”

Totally agree no presence either looks like a youth player I would rather have Alnwick all day long

“That Watford mistake” when a defender passes it to the goal keeper on his weakest foot when a forward already closing in on him at speed. A suicide pass in every way. They nearly got caught out a few times in the first half of that doing the same thing.
Bring Jak back ASAP.

Bulut wants to look after himself as Tan might get trigger happy

We always say on here "give him a run of games"; I think that's what Bulut is doing, sussing if its worth upgrading from loan to permanent. Alnwick is contracted until 2024(i believe) so no rush

Do we need to return a loan player to get another one in?

Interesting view… do you mean buy a top/decent goalie?
May have even had a decent offer for Alnwick.

Yes exactly that ,
Surely he’s doing this for some bigger opportunity to get a top goalie .
He knows runnarson is shocking , he ain’t stupid .
Look at the players he’s already brought in ,
I’m really hoping this is the case

So you are saying Erol Bulut knows Runarsson is crap but plays him anyway...? :?

Surely, that would be the definition of 'stupid' in a cut-throat job...? :shock:

I really don't understand the past few seasons obsession with playing out from the back, like it's nice to have a keeper who's comfortable with the ball at his feet, but it just invites a high press with our keeper looking like a deer In the headlights, I was looking at etheridge on the bench at Birmingham and was thinking I'd give anything to have prime etheridge back, at least he shouted at his defense and organized people. But bulut can't not see what we all are so hopefully things change.

I don't think it's any coincidence that we've been poor since Jak has been benched. How can the defense have any confidence in runarrson. It is a strange one for sure

Re: Regarding Runarsson, Glen Williams reply to me

I can only assume Jak has pissed off Bulut in some way, or there is some financial reason. I think the wording given by Bulut was he was under no pressure to play Runnarson from Arsenal. Maybe we have to pay a higher percentage of wages if he doesn't play.. so pressure from above?

If it had anything to do with playing out from the back then he would surely play Panzo too.
