Nogbad the Bad Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 Gary just on SSN - not giving much away regarding team news except Basso will be back between the sticks tonight. GJ also made a point of praising Weale for 2 or 3 fantastic saves against Wolves when the interviewer mentioned Wolves first goal. Two great goalkeepers to keep happy, Weale has been excellent and accepts tonights decision. As will Basso when Weale replaces him in the future: 2 true professionals. That's the gist of it anyway.

Redhyde Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 Basso is the number one, and I'd be very confident that if Basso makes a mistake tonight he won't get dropped. When fit he's number one. and rightly so i guess now, because Weale keeps making mistakes whenever he comes in. Competition for plces is one thing, but perhaps Weale's under so much presurwe for his place..maybe that's too much and unfair. Unless Basso gets injured again (more than likely) that's it for Weale IMO. Weale really hasn't displayed the all round ability i thought he had. He might not get another chance to.

Weale will be our no.2 and challenging Basso all the way until he chooses to seek regular first team football elsewhere. It's nonsense to suggest he's blown it at City. One mistake followed by 3 superb saves suggests that he more than made up for his unfortunate error of judgement. Little doubt Weale will be City's next permanent number 1 providing his patience doesn't run out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redhyde Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 Massive decision re McIndoe. If it doesn't work it's going to be hell on otib for a week or so for anyone who's happy with BCFC! Nice to see Noble is alive. Was worried. Says Louis/Elliott misses out, but not injured, hmmm. Maybe they don't know yet? Or maybe... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samo Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 Very interesting indeed. GJ did a similar thing last year after the Barnsley defeat and it worked a treat agaist Sheffield U at home, so maybe not as knee jerk as it looks. Hope it proves a positive move.

Red_Jim Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 What the hell is going on??!!!! This line up really REALLY worries me. Surely Louis/Marvin are injuries? I don't normally say things like this, but we wont win tonight with that line up. I don't know what has gone on behind the scenes, but it doesn't look good. 3 of our best players not in the squad at all. Glad to see Noble back though. Prove me wrong Gary and the boys... :noexpression: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elton red Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 I hate not being in the know!!! Carey's gotta be injured hasn't he??? Likewise Elliott?

dazza247 Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 Not the start to justify the team selections I'm afraid. Jamie Mackie 1-0 after 6 minutes. Grrrrrrr. Come on City...up and at them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 G.J rules o.k strange decisions lately, bring on Brooker, Murray, Mccindoe, Carey, Mccombe and Elliot and we may have a chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billybob Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 The team is wrong. Lacks balance. Johnson is a great manager, but sometimes he gets it very wrong. Fear the worst tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edson Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 I get the feeling that a few players are being punished for whatever reason, I can't see any other reason for such an unbalanced and weak selection. I hope GJ gets away with it, but I think we're in for a hiding. Edit: 0-2.... Well, Carey has a dead leg, but I don't know about the others. I'm just a punter and I know that side will more than likely lose, so I'd like to think GJ hasn't selected purely for footballing reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazza247 Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 What an absolutely awful start and expected with the line-up played. I'm sure Johnson will confirm afterwards that Carey and possibly Elliot are carrying knocks....or the latter just lacking match fitness still. The only options left for us are to change it around sooner rather than later. With Trundle and Noble on the bench we have a bit of creativity on the bench but unfortunately no options to put on the wing unless he takes a huge gamble and throws Akinde in at the deep end and hopes he swims rather than sinks. Johnson said not to let the Wolves defeat ruin our season and then he seems to have made what could be seen as unnecessary wholesale changes.... It can't get any worse can it? Come on....sort it out before there's not enough time left. I can understand the reasoning behind the Mcindoe omission but then if the result is that we lose badly at home to Plymouth then it can be seen as cutting ones nose off to spite ones face. I love Johnson and am a member of the Always Believe brigade.........but at times even God can be criticised and so far he's definitely paying the price for a huge gamble. Edit........just noticed Williams is available too but from what I've seen and others have commented he definitely isn't a right winger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tunley Legend Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 I'll get slated for this but perhaps the "freshening up" of the team could have extended to the Centre of Midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
