Sonny Bradley

[Deacster]

Hope he's back soon, a vital cog in a finely tuned wheel. We really missed him in Saturday and him and Vyner are a seriously good partnership, can't see a better one in the league.

Thankfully my wife doesn’t read this forum else she’d worry where I am every other Saturday, she does think every game goes to extra time and penalty’s though. Enjoy a debrief in the Kings that takes me beyond 1830 those days

I would have thought she would be quite relieved.

I wouldn’t know his name BG but Mr Relieved seems somewhat odd

You should come along to a game now and then, it’ll relive your angst.

Set you a challenge, name an ale house in London this Saturday and I’ll stand you 4-5 pints for free. I’ll even walk you to the ground to ensure you get there

Always interesting to read other fans views on players. If Bradley ain't that good why would Luton want him, seeing as they would be expecting to be in this league next season. Yann Song'o has been one our best performers across the season so far so I wouldn't get rid because he makes a few mistakes, bearing in mind on Saturday he was playing left side with the leg he only uses to stand on, he comes in goes out, comes in gives 100% and plays wherever the boss asks. Be interesting to know what their team mates think of them, and I reckon you get a whole lot more 'Team' than you ever will as an individual from these players. In my opinion they are GREAT team players,
Pete

I think Bradley is less than ordinary .... I know I’m right

So, by extension, the Liverpool team in the Anfield game was worse than less than ordinary then.

Slightly harsh on your plastic club that 'ankster... but I know I'M right :wink:

Indeed, albeit the line up was slightly awry Mr ‘isle

Yes they had to make do with Belgium international Origi and Welsh international Woodburn. Then when Sonny had stopped them most of the game, they brought on Sturridge and Firmino for 20 minutes in desperation!

By the way Sonny was MoM that day by a long way according to the BBC experts when up against 4 internationals. But you remember a game against Parkway?
He certainly wasn't "agricultural" that day against LFC, your favourite term for him.

Tbf argyle should’ve taken advantage of the poor display, lethargy and complacency of LFC that day, were by far the better team. Adams got his tactics nailed on I thought.

Origi and Woodburn can’t get a game atm, for LFC anyway, Origi is doing ok at Wolfsburg, hopefully get a bob or two for him.

So you thought Argyle were 'far the better team' at Anfield? He he he! You are a comedian mate.

Shankster for some reason has forgotten that the thrust of this thread was the current state of Sonny's health preventing him from playing in recent matches, and turned it into am opportunity to diss him as an Argyle CB.
In my years of supporting Argyle, I can look back to the likes of Chisholm, Nelson, McEllinney,Smith and Timar, none of whom were in the Beckenbauer style of CB, but all of whom were extremely effective in their role and some of whom were very capable in the second tier of the English Football Leagues. I would put Sonny in this group as a stopper CB, who is no 'fancy dan' in his footwork, but has been very effective in his role and commands the respect of his manager. Let's hope to see him performing his usual role soon.

Indeed, obviously we're all entitled to opinions etc etc, but it does seem a bit crass to use the opportunity of Sonny's mystery illness to repeat criticisms that Shankster has already aired a few times. Why repeat them? What's the point?

Fwiw I think Sonny's an excellent CB and is one of my fav players in the team. I wish him all the best to get well soon and hope he is back in our starting XI ASAP.

 

[Larry David]

The reason in my opinion why we miss Sonny or Ryan as a partner for Vyner is that one of your Centre backs should be the type that attacks the ball in the air and dominates. The other should be one that generally stands off and picks up the pieces, this Centre back has to have pace i.e. Vyner or Nelson. Also your Bradley or Edwards type of Centre back cannot afford to get too tight to a really quick striker when balls are played to feet as they when they get turned they get beaten for pace.

The problem for me is Yann gets too tight against the quicker strikers and is apt to dive in and whilst he is decent in the air he isn't as good as Ryan or Sonny at the back and he is less of a threat up front at set pieces.

That said, he is wholehearted and puts his body on the line time after time whether tackling or blocking shots.

Exactly, Shankster's criticism is completely baseless. Bradley has been up there as one of DA's best signings. That's 46 league games a season form (across two divisions) and performances against Premier League opposition in the FA Cup, rather than meaningless friendlies against Parkway. I'm not sure what scouts tend to focus on these days.

You can’t debate with Shankster, Knibbsworth. He seems to be someone who forms an opinion and will never change his mind. His stock answer when you try to discuss a player with him is ‘opinions’.

Sonny Bradley is as crucial to our progress as Graham Carey and Ryan Taylor and, if we did manage to go up to the Championship, he would prove his worth at that level.
