Good post. I like Sidwell, has his limitations but gives it his all AND does get a few goals. Didn't he get the same as Ruiz last season but played about half the number of games and he is not a forward.
I think he will be a stand out this season. (as long as he doesn't get injured).
There will be a creative centre mid in one of the 2 centre mid positions, and I'm sure Boateng and Sidwell will interchange regularly.
He scores goals, no doubting that (and more often than not they're ugly goals too), but that's not why he's in the team. Maybe play him up front, get him chasing and harrying defenders while another midfielder does midfieldy things.
That'll be partly up to him not picking up needless bookings and missing games through suspension.
he is injured. don't know if he will be out for a while
Sidwell played alright today scored a cracking goal, one of him or Boateng should start with Gargano or Chantome partnering them
But so many people on here say he's useless.
Surely they know better than Jol, Roy. Mourinho and O'Neil.
Seriously tho' When he plays we play.
I love Sidwell, my favourite player in the club.
Sidwell is a good destroyer / press conference in midfield and not a bad passer. He went off injured today - we will need him next week at Sunderland
Don't think he's good enough in general play, had a decent game today though especially in the first half.
He is not widely appreciated, but when he is not playing we miss him.
We didn't earn many points without him last season. I am trying to be optimistic about the forthcoming season.
He tries hard but he is just not good enough

I will have the same of what you have been drinking. Seriously lads, the whole Premiership is laughing at Fulham for insisting that Sidwell is a good mid. In good days he is bellow average. Seriously, work rate has nothing to do with it (He has that, I will give it to him...., but that is it). Do you want to push for Europe places or not, for God sake?
Couldn't agree more fulhamking. Nest we will be hearing how great Richardson and Senderos are.
Irony on FOF is sometimes hard to appreciate.
I am pretty sure the OP is being sarcastic
I always liked sidwell but he has been pants this preseason (didnt see Parma game) and ended last season poorly. Bit over the top to say he is not up to it.
Him and Boateng are great to interchange in there and decent headache for Jol on who he starts next to whoever our CM savior ends up being.
when i log into general discussion i seem to have lost everything after 10th August, come on who has stolen all the threads?
:hook:
