in answer to whether he should drop Varney, i said

'But one of the things we went wrong with last season was by chopping and changing too quickly. Varney has not fully impressed in the last couple of games, but equally needs some form of loyalty, if the manager rates him, to play through it.'

I think this picture answers that one !!

    Adam, do you know why this is showing as an attachment and not a picture ?

    lets hope he can finally kick on now. When confident, he looks a different player.

    You know what AFKA? I was all for Dicko to play but after your comment on that thread, I agreed with you and glad Pards did too. That was a lovely moment (pic) and I hope it won't be the first bit of good man-management from Pardew this season.

    Have to say I loved that they sung his name at the end (Pards that is) - deep down I am dying for him to succeed - don't know why.

    I thought Varney had one of his best games for us yesterday. Took his goal really well. I don't even remember him getting caught offside once!

    brilliant header....... just want to find a way to see it again..... If any one can get it uploaded Id be delighted...
  • CarterCarter
    Players who work as hard as Varney deserve to have patience given to them. He worked his nuts off all afternoon and gave Readings defence headache after headache, he is the sort of player we need to keep and encourage.

    I've always thought Varney couldn't head the ball ....... cheers Lukey, for proving me wrong!

    No Bouazza was beating him to it for the offsides.

    Alays rated Varney and it goes without saying you got to give Varney and Gray a run of games to hit it off.

    love the bloke... can't fail to see how hard he works and how much he wants it, great header yesterday when others may have still been lying on the floor trying to get the penalty

    he's missed 4 one-on-ones in 4 games but he gets himself there, the confidence and sharpness will come with the pace and effort that's there already

    keep it up Luke Luke Luke
  • RothkoRothko
    He works like a dog, I get the feeling with Luke is that he tries to hard to make things happen when his confidence is down, but once he scored he was back to himself, and by god it's going to be fun to watch him go in weeks to come

    if fit and played for most of the season he'll get 15-20 goals....

    Totally agree Rothko. Our best home performance last season for me was against Palarse and Luke was on top form that day as well. The trick for Pards is to keep his confidence up. If he can we are in for something special.

    Hands up from me maybe i was a tad quick to dispute his forward capabilities i watched the whole game on sky+ last nite and Varney did well great header for the gooal and with Buzz on the wing there seems to be a different feeling with our front 2.


    lets just hope it continues 4 in 4 at home for gray as well cant be forgotten
  • Weegie AddickWeegie Addick
    Just hope he hasn't caught the flu from Pards after getting that close!
  • northstandstevenorthstandsteve
    he could catch a lot worse from pards ;-)
  • Weegie AddickWeegie Addick
    Careful, NSS, we'll have the Pards fan club after us again!!!

    No danger of that Varney always uses protection........................................... as can be seen Luke is wearing shinpads ;-)

    I look forward to singing it at the top of my voice after Easter once we are guaranteed top two - or I might even let him off with top six, all things considered...that's the kind of humble pie I would very much enjoy eating.
  • northstandstevenorthstandsteve
    totally agree weegie I would love nothing more than to be proved wrong.

    I thought Varney worked the channels a lot better on Sat, but more importantly when he got the ball wide he was looking to attack and put the emphasis on the defender to stop him.

    So much comes down to confidence.
  • Weegie AddickWeegie Addick
    He also won a fair few headers - not only for the goal.
  • Oggy RedOggy Red
    And Pardew gave him a knee trembler
  • Addick AddictAddick Addict
    Can't remember too many players jumping on Curbs when they scored - here or at the Hammers. Could it be something to do with Man Management? How many players did Curbs fall out with who never actually "played" for him again? Steve Coppell banned Sonko for 2 weeks at the end of last season but never shut the door on him and hopefully we will the same strength with Pards.
