Recurring nightmare.  How hard can it be to keep a clean sheet for the opening 10 minutes?

Interesting to see that Kusunga and Clarke-Harris are on the bench for Oldham as I thought they looked their best two players earlier in the season.

This Wilson fella must be useful to put Kusunga on the bench.

You'll be disappointed then. 

 

Moore; El-Abd, Flint, Williams; Wagstaff, M Elliott, Gillett, Bryan, Cunningham; Emmanuel-Thomas, Baldock.

 

Subs: Barnett, Burns, Pack, Reid, W Elliott, Moloney, Fielding

 

Another bizarre selection, I think. Burns not worth a start? Pack dropped?

Cunningham and Bryan is an unusual combination.  I assume Cunningham is playing more centrally?

I don't need to be at the game to know the type of finisher Baldock is.  he is a scorer of goals, he is not a good finisher. If i am there to witness it or not it matters not. If he hadn't scored 2 we would have lost 2-0, if he had scored the ones he missed we could of won, if MK dons had scored 2 sitters they missed we could have lost, it matters not, he scored 2 goals,if he hadn't we would have  lost 2-0. So he may have actually got us a point.

I didn't know Donald Rumsfeld was a City fan.  

He's an enigma.  You want to be cross with him, but he's got a brace.  Terrible finishing though - too often, in one on ones, he always goes for the blaster at the goalie.  Mind you JET should have put away that first minute chance too.

A 6ft 3 lump who's good in the air, not afraid to smash into anyone (ask Greg), was playing non league 4 years ago, is 28 years old and is on the transfer list for being involved in a night club fracas.

Burt or Cotterill? I think I know where my money is... This lad wouldve fit right into "the crazy gang" back in the day.

BORING.

You're not bored of this angle yet then? I am.

There is no angle. It was a light-hearted joke.  Relax.

I'm never really convinced by three at the back, it always seems to lead to confusion.

You could be forgiven for thinking we've played it all season.

If last week's second half team turns up we've got a decent chance.

I think it's worth pointing out it's a 14.00 kick off as I was casually assuming it was an old-fashioned 15.00.

We'll win 2-1.  

"Passion" is a buzzword people who know nothing about football use to describe an imaginary quality.  In answer to your question, I'd say the ability to motivate players and tactical awareness to get the best out of a limited group on limited resources.

I tend to agree with you although I don't agree that passion is entirely nebulous.  We've all recognised it in particular players in the past.  I could mention Hartley, Carey or Sean Taylor for example.  

What we do want is a manager that ticks as many boxes as possible.  And for me that does include a passion box as well.

I'm adding Warnock and Cloggerill to your list of one.

 

I've never felt so disillusioned with BCFC as I do now and that's not helped by JL's insistence that an intangible attribute like 'passion' is at the top of his priorities for the manager... 

 

If they get this wrong it's gonna take something odd to happen for me to feel the same way about the club and those destroying running it.

What should the top priority be?  Coaching. tactical nous or grandiose philosophising?  SOD apparently excelled in all those and proved to be crap.  I think just a smattering of passion can go a long way.

It's all about results.  I couldn't care less about the personality of who gets it.  I just want results and progress. Too many City fans worry about personalities.

Its hard to agree or disagree with your post as I have no idea what point your trying to make. 

Yes, there's a lot in there isn't there?  I wonder if using semaphore from Dundry Tower would have been more helpful.

What was the point in us getting McLaughlin in on loan if were just going to put Shorey on instead of him?

I was thinking the same.  He's turned out to be a wasted loan.  I'm not sure what he's done wrong, but I can only assume he's got no future here.  I still don't really understand why Taylor was dropped either.

Anyway, let's hope we can negotiate this potential banana skin.

My penny's worth, great to see him back, cracking player but... I concur his distribution still lets him down.

I watch so little TV these days, that I really can't moan about it. But from recollection anything with Ant & Dec in it pisses me off.

McIndoe? This post possibly proves women know nothing about football

Carey and Elliott are the only two contenders for me, really tough to split them but if pushed I'd probably go for Carey, purely for the fact he's a leader of men and we just look completely shite when he's not out there.

Eliott close second

Basso third.

That's a tad unfair. McIndoe's had a good season so far. However, for me it would be one of Basso, Elliot or Fontaine.
