Coach Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 Marv does'nt give the ball away then? Yes, he does. But he is also a danger in the opposing box, an asset defending in our own box, a competitor in the air in the midfield area and a great ball-winning tackler. Those assets outweigh the positives I gave earlier of LJ. In my opinion of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those assets outweigh the positives I gave earlier of LJ. In my opinion of course. I respect what you say and Marv is a good footballer and deserves a chance when it comes to be in the side as well as LJ, but although these assets you say Marv has are commendable I also think that what we have now is a very good midfield blend and Marv could learn lots of things from it i.e distribution skills to go with his ball winning. My thoughts are that we are now giving the forward line that little bit more subtle link play and unpredictableness that we lacked before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 John Madejski said on the radio recently (only partly tongue in cheek I reckon) that the first words spoken in every meeting with a Manager were always "I need three more players"! Whereas Steve seems to have to practically beg Gary to spend his money at times. I've noticed that too, and I've got a theory... Gary gets a budget, Steve says to him ''that's your lot, do what you like with it as long at it brings success ie an improvement on the previous season. If you can bring in players for less than I have given you, you get to keep the rest. If the players fail you have to give me back any money unspent and pay a penalty' Yes, it's fun spending money but twice as satisfying when your 'bargain' repays you over and over!

BCFC_Dan Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 The one thing that does strike me here is Garys ability to bring players up from league 1 mediocrity that nobody wants to championship players giving 100% and looking quality where most other teams around us tend to spend a lot of their chairman,s dosh. It's more than just league one - four of our current first team squad played in the Conference for Gary's Yeovil side, and 3 of them started against Reading! Shows that Gary can not only spot a good player and find a bargain, he knows which ones can progress too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUMMAT OUTTA NOWT Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 It's more than just league one - four of our current first team squad played in the Conference for Gary's Yeovil side, and 3 of them started against Reading! Shows that Gary can not only spot a good player and find a bargain, he knows which ones can progress too. Yeah, well said. Shows a lot of other clubs that with the right team in place you don,t run a football club by bankrupting it in the process of seeking sucess. I remember the bad times like a lot of fellow city supporters and if we gain Premier League status we will love the tv money etc, etc, but Steve and Gary will still run this club with a good business sense.

Simon79 Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 What did you just read??????? Not having a pop at you my friend.Just that you stated that most thought he would be good when he got fit.I just seem to remember a lot of people slagging him off earlier in the season.Another bad buy apparently!

Tunley Legend Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 Man of the match in the Mirror - for whatever that's worth All it shows is that the Daily Mirror were not represented at the game. As others have said LJ was a mixed bag on Saturday mixing a few poor moments with some very good ones (including the quick free kick that McIndoe should have buried). Skuse and Williams, on the other hand were immense for the most part. I am not knocking LJ by the way but just calling this game as I see it. For a reporter to even remotely think about giving the MOM award to anyone other than Carey or Fontaine simply suggests to me that they were not at the Madejski on Saturday.

bh red Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 Man of the match in the Mirror - for whatever that's worth think that says more about the mirror and their quality (or lack of) as a sports newspaper Johnson alongside Orr on saturday were the poorer of the performers without doubt, both giving the ball away constantly in silly positions by overplaying the ball and not playing things simple, if it had been Skuse, Williams or Dele getting man of the match. then it would have been a report maybe worth reading.
