Frome Red Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 If I may just jump to Potbelly's defence, I do know Pete and I'm sure he wasn't having a go at me personally. No offence taken anyway. I think he is making a serious point though, wishing that myself and Tim would read out the teams in formation order rather than in squad number order, which we always used to do. Sometimes football is about gaining the advantage in the slenderest of ways, and there is a concern that telling the opposition what formation you are going to play might give them an early advantage. So we just read the teams out in squad number order. I understand where your coming from but surely the teams we play already knows what positions our players play in before playing against us ? mind you saying that a previous manager of ours didn't !

Mad Cyril Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 Perhaps announce a 4-5-3 formation. Including Benson and Hedges. And not one of you has shown any sympathy for my grapes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glynriley Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 Just for a nobble , dont read the names out.

WhistleHappy Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 Maybe , one day, SOD will sort the team out good and proper, and the team will read 1 to 11. Just like the good old days! My favourite.....Galley 9. Wonder if he's still got his boots. ok lets make up a typical Galley/AlanDicks era team from 1 to 11 + 1 sub... 1. Gibson, 2... 3... 4... etc add one name at a time..

Admin Maesknoll Red Posted February 1, 2013 Admin Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 Do we have to have squad numbers? If not lets set a trend and number the team on the pitch 1-11 and the subs from 12-18. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes PLEASE!! (An added bonus to that may be that players would really want to earn(own) that no 4 shirt... no 10 shirt etc, ... at the mo the squad number on the shirt is little more than an employee number... make 'the shirt' mean something again!!)

CamBCFC Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 Main poster got a point although has nothing to do with Dave L personally Thought the tannoy system was too quiet, obviously not if you can hear it from your armchair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Skin Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 That Dave L annoys me too. Coming on here reading threads and sorting out fans grievances and stuff. I was going to post something about the leaves blocking up my guttering, but I'm worrying I'll find the pesky bloke up a ladder outside my bedroom window tomorrow morning when I open my curtains.

One Team In Keynsham Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 Do we have to have squad numbers? If not lets set a trend and number the team on the pitch 1-11 and the subs from 12-18. To be fair, if we are reverting back to basics, ditch the 7 subs: just have some ginger-haired Scouser wearing number 12 and pray the centre half is decent in nets if it goes tits up.

Tins Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 I can't say it's helped us much this season! I'd like to ditch all this squad number nonsense.

If not why do you do it when the team is already over the interweb? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
