So yes, you can blame the injuries as having an impact on the woeful quality of football. Behave the football is awful another deluded happy Clapper.

So yes, you can blame the injuries as having an impact on the woeful quality of football. We played three youngsters on Saturday and one of them has played nearly every game this season. One of the youngsters was hung out to dry by management (Towler). The other cost us £4 million or so and has quite a few minutes under his belt at this level. That is not relying on youngsters due to injuries. The performance was purely down to a poorly set up and motivated team..... plus using Towler at LB against a £40 million pound winger.

Mr Chappers Posted February 14, 2021 Report Share Posted February 14, 2021 Doesn’t really matter, the midfield options are lacking. Not necessarily bad players, just inexperienced or wrong type, meaning little support for attack or cover for defence. The gap at left back likely to be exploited, and neither full back/ wing back gets much support from those in front. Not really sure what any manager could do, a weak squad of available players, lot of inexperience, and playing twice a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being in the relegation zone halfway through the season means definitely relegated. I’m with you. Johnson moved us up the table because Uncle Steve’s closed chequebook miraculously opened. Funnily enough it stayed open for LJ’s whole tenure. Cotts’ team had unity and spirit. LJ fluked that for 5 months in 4 and a half years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curr Avon Posted February 14, 2021 Report Share Posted February 14, 2021 8 hours ago, Hampshire Red said: Many people realise DH is picking teams knowing some players just have to come in and 'do a job' even though they are not fully fit or not match fit. Two of these should be our best, experienced midfield players. Would you rest some players on Tuesday in the hope we rest players for a more winnable 3points on Saturday? Having just discussed this on a WhatsApp forum of Dolman season-ticket holders, I see Barnsley have just gone 2-0 up at Brentford!! Strange league, strange results, well done Dean for getting so many points so far:time to get out of this disappointing run. What would others do with the number of injuries we've got to deal with? If I was Dean I'd make sure that whoever he picks can tackle, pass the ball to a team mate, defend and show some movement when we have possession, because we're not even doing the basics right. And that's not strange, it's bloody infuriating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But SC was sacked in December, the season ends in May. With a couple of signings in January - who knows......I think with even half the support given to LJ he would have kept us up. Remember Harry Redknapp got him in to coach Birmingham and he kept them up beating us on the last day SC was sacked because he refused to work with Ashton or his scouting system - don't forget Cotts was sacked on the Thursday at 5pm and Ashton was installed 36 hours later, hardly a coincidence. Hindsight tells us he was right to want nothing to do with Ashton or his recruitment system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roadrunner Posted February 15, 2021 Report Share Posted February 15, 2021 If i was manager i would be totally feed up with the players i had asked to give me 100%. So i would go with the players i still had some faith in, even if not 100% fit, and also try the youngsters. I still remember when we nearly went bust and put a team of mainly youngsters out against top of the table Fulham and came away with a draw and the fans loved it. Bentley Pring, Mariappa, Taylor Moore, Sessegnon Vyner, Nagy, Massengo, Patterson Britton, Semenyo Subs; O'Leary, Nurse, Watkins, Bell, Z Smith, Pearson, O Edwards, Hunt, Lansbury. If he puts out his usual suspects we all seem to think we will lose. If we put out my team most of you may feel we would lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sglosbcfc Posted February 15, 2021 Report Share Posted February 15, 2021 I'd play 3-5-2, despite the disaster of Saturday, but with different personnel.

Clueless. How quickly? Fielding - 96 Championship games over 4 seasons Little - 51 Championship games over 2 seasons Ayling - 34 Championship games over 2 seasons (just) Flint - 129 Championship games over 3 seasons Williams - 24 Championship games over 1 season Bryan - 127 Championship games over 4 seasons (just) Pack - 167 Championship games over 5 seasons (just) Smith - 131 Championship games over 5 seasons (almost 2 years injured) Freeman - 59 Championship games over 2 seasons Wilbs - 74 Championship games over 2 seasons Agard - 25 Championship games over 1 season Thats 917 Championship appearances between them. Fielding we have replaced with Bentley who is immeasurably better. Little and Hunt, similar levels of performance for us, I'd say Hunt was the better all rounder though. Ayling we have to presume was sold because of the racecourse incident. He was never really a world beater for us, but that could be due to the way we played him. Flint, many on here were saying get rid and we got good value for money for him, not done great at Boro or Cardiff. Williams wasn't a 1st teamer for us every game, doing well at Blackburn. Only bonus to us now is he is left footed. Bryan, wanted to leave, got some money, went to the prem. Pack stayed for the longest, sideways passes, a lot blamed his play for how slow our build up was, Smith was injured for a lot of the time over the last two years, Freeman liked running at players, cutting back and then lost the ball, Wilbs is 41, Agard we replaced with Kodjia. Out of all those players, I'd say we would take back Ayling (if we played him a right back), Bryan (because we need a left back) and smith (if he stayed fit). I wouldn't call the club clueless when they did give the majority of these players a chance at this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
