mightyreds89 Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 Was one minute after Noble came on and was the minute of the match and where the best pass from a City player/midfeilder all afternoon. Noble simply has to play everytime he is fit, If he is the squad he should start, best player at the club by a mile, when he was on he lookedd like a Reading player!

Be careful though, you don't want to be tarred as a LJ hater or even......a GJ hater because you can see what 90% of the other fans can see!

MATT BCFC Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 That`ll be once in a blue moon then. PDG Maybe if he was given a run in the side he would become more fit. Hard to get match fit in the stands or on the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tunley Legend Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 Noble is now fit and was easily our best midfield player today. I await the TOTALLY OBVIOUS selection outcome next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats what the reserves are for, if he`s not doing it there what makes you think there`s any chance of him doing it in the 1st team. PDG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PDG Noble has been scoring goals regularly in the reserves and also notched last time out for the firsts against Plymouth. He then comes on today and was far better than EVERY other midfield player who got a run out today. Doesn't take a genius to work out what he should be doing at 5:20pm next Saturday afternoon.

PDG I understand that but I think with Noble hes surely a bit fed up with his lack of starts if he regular first team player I think he would sort out his off the field antics. With reserves aswell hes doesnt need to be fully fit hes going to be too good for that standard anyway, the pace is a lot slower its not the same as the championship thats for sure.

Alternitively we could drop williams or mcindoe and play two strikers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can stay fit long enough, i`m all for his inclusion, but coming on for half an hour is a completely different kettle of fish to starting the game. I`m not convinced he has the engine to influence the game at this level for any longer than he`s getting. The only person who can prove me wrong is Noble himself so i wait with interest and will quite happily post an apology the day he does.

PDG Noble is always a threat and regularly scores brilliant goals when he plays, and as a fine footballer, can also pick out a killer pass which is why he should be doing it in the first team. I would guess his minutes/ goals ratio this season is slightly better than anyone else? If he is fit he should play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would guess his minutes/ goals ratio this season is slightly better than anyone else? If he is fit he should play. Again, i don`t disagree with the bulk of your post. I`m not questioning his technical or mental ability but his stamina is holding him back, combined with his injury problems. PDG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds to much like the formation that brought all our success last season The manager must realise that was the formation when we played our besst football. Only problem now though is that we have 6 strikers and i don't believe Johnson would be happy to tell 5 of them they arent playing. Surely though he MUST play Noble somewhere/anywhere.

McIndoe, Elliott, Noble, Williams that way we can still play 2 forwards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McIndoe has more good games than bad, but again, he has no competition for his place, the only other alternative is Wilson who is currently having to cover for McAllister's injury. LJ has decent competition for his place in Noble and Williams, however neither get their chance in their best positions until today no one has even had a decent bit of run time from the bench and typical that's only when we are 4-0 down.
