Portland Bill Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 bh red, you're dead right as Neil Warnock is one of the shrewdest managers in this division. I got the idea he was surprised by the passion of the supporters at this club and holds us in high regard as a result. Neil Warnock was quoted about 5 years ago as saying he would love to manage us, he felt the club had so much potentiel and a passionate crowd.

The passion at this club is intense and we've not even known top flight football for almost 30 years. As for the potential, this club is like a coiled spring ready for release to propel us back to the top flight. We just need the right management as we've now got a Chairman putting money where his mouth is and a fanbase hungry for success. I saw Neil Warnock on the coach after his Palarse Eagles were defeated in the play-off semis at Ashton Gate and he had that kind of envious look on his face that suggested he wished he was manager of this club. Gary Johnson's got another 4 seasons worth of contract left to prove himself as a top flight BCFC manager and I hope he does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickJ Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 Fair enough. But Gary Johnson has both David Noble and Lee Johnson available for selection on a fairly regular basis and almost always selects Lee ahead of Noble. Why do you think that is? Well, I had always assumed that its because he feels Lee Johnson is the better player, but my interpretation of your comment is an implication that you know there to be more to it than that. So what is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcfc_4_life Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 being an alleged drunk is the kind of supposed character assasination GJ is into, he got rid of all our players that used to go out every friday night and replaced them with proper pros So if noble is a "Drunk" why did johnson offer him a new deal? surely he would of released him and replaced him with someone who isn't a drunk???

megansdad Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 what a load of carp. Carle was signed for 600k for us, and in 6 months increased his value to £1.2m and was signed by one of the shrewdest managers in this divison and was rated many Media outlets as a key signing for them? he was sold for ONE REASON and ONE REASON only we needed the money for a striker. If we were too sale LJ or Noble we wouldn't get 600k for either of them, maybe not even both of them combined, let alone £1.2m for one of them. while I agree with your reason being a good reason for his sale I would question whether it was the shrewdest manager who bought him for 1.2m or the one who bought him for 600k and sold him for 1.2m. What would he fetch today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Jamie McAllister out we also need a proper left back player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petehinton Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 IMO Nobes should be given more of a chance to play in the first team as he is at this moment only been on the bench two times and one of those times he bloody scored ! i stick him in CM or put him CAM instead of LJ anyday, vision is top class Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However from what I've seen he works best in a 5 man midfield where he doesn't have to get up and down the pitch so much and can concentrate on using his skills in forward positions. I still fail to see the point of playing a right winger in a 4-4-2 when we don't have an effective one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see him as the solution to our scoring problem, he's proved he's good enough with vital goals... preston, palace, plymouth to name a few even if it is for 60 mins or so he will create chances and score the odd goal which is more then our current centre midfield are doing. Maybe a return to the 4-4-1-1 system will work as johnson and nobes will both get a game and LJ may shine ina 5 man midfield??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strictly Obi Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 Same old, Noble likes a drink, Noble cant last 90 minutes. Again I ask does anyone have any evidence or proof of this? I defy anyone to have 90 minutes of match fitness when they barely play any competitive football. I guess it's easy to bang out acusations like these when it acts favorably for your own argument, for example when defending LJ. I hear stupid comments like ''He just doesnt have the natural fitness'', well logic dictates if he gets (entire) games under his belt, he might just reach the desired level, unless his cardiovascular system has a major flaw and is unlike that of any other professional athlete. You've got to be Nobles MOTHER to defend him that much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strictly Obi Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 Whereas people like yourself who defend Johnson to the hilt and call David Noble "allegedly a drunk" in another thread are not being hypocritical in the slightest are they? If Dezgimed ever criticises LJ it is on his perception of LJ's football ability rather than the type of character assassination you are obviously into. You Hypocrite!

Strictly Obi Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 Give me some of what David Noble's been drinking. We all know - and the nation knows - what Nick Carle and David Noble were able to do against Palarse at Palarse in the play-off semi final last season. Nick Carle's brave knock down header to the boot of Noble who subsequently rippled the back of the net of one of THE best goalies the Southern hemisphere has ever produced. Stuff of legends.

Strictly Obi Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 So when did GJ put David Noble on the transfer list for being a drunk then? He has'nt but there have been many clubs eager to sign our unfit, crock-magnet, one half wonder - play boy! These clubs include.......ummmm......ah.......wellll.........Forest Green, no i meant...ummm anyway thats not the point!......or is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strictly Obi Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 Nick Carle was bought by Palarse for a £million. Neil Warnock is no idiot and he knows he got a good bargain. Seriously, would we be able to sell Lee Johnson for a £million? That's the acid test as to who's the most valuable midfielder. Sorry.....but thats exactly what Neil Warnock is!

Strictly Obi Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 David Noble's shock first-half opener against Middlesbrough away at the Riverside was another legendary goal. Noble stormed through the middle of the park to beat Schwarzer in February 2007 live on TV for the world to see. Why the hell isn't Gary Johnson playing Noble more often ???!!!! More to the point with your perception...why the hell are'nt you the City manager? Your a sheer genious!.......not! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lack of Action Man Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 I personally thought that Noble had seen his best days in our promotion season in league 1, and in the two palace games and that this season he might not see much in the way of first team football, however after seeing him again on Saturday I can't help but think he should at least be on the bench to add another option to our midfield?
