ashton_fan Posted October 12, 2013 Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 If you read the Fans Parliament thread SO'D says we're too short of defenders. We lose Williams and if someone else then got injured in training we could be faced with putting untried youngsters in the defence, he rightly says that if we then lost the game he would be asked by the fans why we agreed to play.

fka dagest Posted October 12, 2013 Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 why did carey get a contract then>??? and why did we sign dunk this is there chance to play?? Exactly. It's bollocks and it really annoys me. We're the only postponement in League One today. We've also got Fontaine and Wilson out on loan. In the old days you'd recall a player if you were short. Not any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

formerly known as ivan Posted October 12, 2013 Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 I dont think any clubs should be able to cancel fixtures for internationals. If clubs want to sign the worlds best players they should do so knowing they will miss so many games playing for their country. When international week comes that should be when the players not called up play along side the clubs younger/youth players. Would give them a better chance to break into the first team and impress.

Deanbcfc89 Posted October 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 Exactly thats the point in having a squad, so many players getting paid great money even in the lower leagues just to sit on there ass on a Saturday and train in the week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redcityman Posted October 12, 2013 Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 Exactly thats the point in having a squad, so many players getting paid great money even in the lower leagues just to sit on there ass on a Saturday and train in the week Or play in a week when they wouldn't have had a game were it not for the postponement, they still play forty six leagues games. Seems to me there's an awful lot of Norris Coles on here lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how it always used to be. This cancellation of the league programme idea has been with us less that 20 years. Last season we were scheduled to play Brighton away on a September Saturday. Because of the international break we had to go there on a November Tuesday. That will have reduced City's support and also Brighton's gate receipts.

We've also got Fontaine and Wilson out on loan. In the old days you'd recall a player if you were short. Not any more. Quite a few problems with that latter suggestion. Wilson was on the bench for Wales last night, Fontaine is injured and as I must have posted 96 times over the years on here you cannot recall outfield players in the first month of a loan.

Graham, the point I'm trying to make is that you probably shouldn't be sending out players on loan at all if it makes your squad so thin that it can't handle a couple of insignificant call-ups.

marmite Posted October 12, 2013 Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 If we'd had 3 international players injured we would have played today. Surely we have a large enough squad to cover 3 players who , after all, are not all 1st team regulars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

handballbygordonparr Posted October 12, 2013 Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 If they were 2 or 3 first team regulars then taking the opportunity to postpone would be understandable but the rest of the league could be forgiven for thinking we were afraid to take on Crawley - it certainly seams strange to postpone what was already a difficult tie and probably have it moved to a wet and cold Tuesday night in February when the pressure really be on if we are still in the bottom 4 by then. If I were in SOD's shoes I would have sent a rallying call to the team and the supporters, making a play on standing shoulder to shoulder and pushing on through adversity etc, etc, - eventually we will win a game and today could have been that day...... and if not, there would have somebody or something else to blame. But perhaps that's why I'm not a successful football manager and ........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Ian M Posted October 12, 2013 Admin Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 When we do play and fail to emerge victorious SOD gets slaughtered. For postponing the game he is merely being criticised. Sounds like a win to me. Now if we could just transfer that to the league.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
22A Posted October 12, 2013 Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 I had a look at other sports. Rugby has a complete break with none of the top teams playing whether affected or not (similar to footy's Prem & Champs). In First Class Cricket, the county games continue and clubs are expected to arrange cover for their best players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In First Class Cricket, the county games continue and clubs are expected to arrange cover for their best players. In County Cricket the counties don't "own" the players as they are contracted centrally to the ECB and released occasionally to play for "their" county. Sometimes the ECB even release the player to play for a different county. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
