Tim S Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 Gary needs the fans on his side as much as possible at the moment. Lee Johnson could have the game of his life tonight but just by seeing his name on the teamsheet automatically draws a negative effect from most fans. But if he plays him and he has a stinker then the fans straight away look to this selection. For morale alone, I would keep him out the team.

bcfcnick Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 He could be the key link that gives the team a winning mentality. It might be a bit too simplistic but he was a regular in the promotion side, a regular when we got to the play-offs and a regular when we were in touch for the play-offs this season. I'm not one for too much emphasis on stats but, that said, he is always high if not top of the list for assists and one complaint has been that it's not the strikers fault for the lack of goals because they haven't had chances supplied. We've slipped since he hasn't been playing and I think he does give the team strength of character and a positive, winning mind-set but the midfield has to have the right balance to get the best from him.

So don't play a good player because of the attitude of moronic fans. If he deserves his place, then he should play. Its not his fault that City seemsto have a higher than average proportion of fans who don't understand football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I agree with you that its crazy if a player has qualities to bring to the team and then to leave him out for the sake of some fans. BUT everyone at the club is saying how much they need the fans behind them right now, and to have the fans 100% behind the team, sadly means leaving this player out. Its wrong. But sadly, its true.

Portland Bill Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 We have missed him, he keeps the ball moving, but he like any midfielder needs movement when on the ball.We have to play with width and Imo Sproule must start at home. Notice how Coventry had to double up on Sproule when he came on.mccindoe's threat was nullified because he had to help his fullback cope with Sproule. Leicester will have to do the same if Sproule starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to clarify that LJ has the grand total of 2 assists, thats including last season and this season added together. Thats 61 full games plus 6 subs = 2 assists. Woeful stats.

Too true, though I'd say many fans, not most and that's why I thought it made sense for him to stay at Derby where he was clearly doing ok. He isn't the answer to our bad run of results but he's also not the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coxyboy Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 Cant pass, gives the ball away, cant remember last time he scored, not strong enougth, not good enougth to be a championship player, Williams, Skuse, Hartley, Sno, far better than him. No thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree - width needs to be the way forward when playing at home and Sproule seems the best option - always causes problems and creates space for other players. Unfortunately though tonight it seems to be far too narrow again and Lee's impact isn't as great as it could be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keepers Ball Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 I'm sorry but on what basis was lj a joke tonight? In a nutshell when I could be bothered to count he gave the ball away badly three times at crucial points of the game. Sorry but for me he brings bugger all to the game.

He did OK- couple of nice passes. I'd rather we kept the same team for Sunday as well to keep things ticking over rather than chopping and changing.

Sorry but for me he brings bugger all to the game. LJ was involved in most of our creative play and it was his clever pass that paved the way for Sproule to set up Clarkson in the second half which he should have scored from. It was our best move of the game. Elliott was absolutely shocking tonight, didn't tackle and couldn't pass for shit. LJ outshone him comfortably I thought.

Would be interested to know if you were at all 'bothered' to count any of our other players misplaced passes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenyards Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 Johnson had a good game tonight. Elliott was poor and has hardly had a good game all season. I can't understand why Sproule was not picked to start - he causes the opposition all kinds of problems and it was noticeable that we created more chances after he was on the pitch than before - with LJ feeding the ball to him nicely.
