fka dagest Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 Spudski's posts are becoming the equivalent of Pravda in the Soviet Union or maybe he's even the Joseph Goebbels of the OTIB forum. Anyway there's a reference to another Steve Davis in that report so I'm hoping someone at some point will make reference to the snooker legend or even our similarly named erstwhile player.

hippy273 Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 In other words, a squad with no depth because of the high turnover. It will take a long time to fill the shoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tezOfCity Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 Younger squads that have been together longer.

I can play a bit more central and make my own decisions, thanks SoD. There are enough references to Prada, however. Over-rated shoes, mine split after a week in the Mendips they refused me a refund, cornuti di merda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esmond Million's Bung Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 Did he sell his mbetter players in the summer?? really... jon stead maybe but 6 goals a season isnt a huge loss and replaced by a player who has scored 20 in the past 6/7 seasons.

Deanbcfc89 Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 to be fair i actually attribute the main reason for our lack of points this season is the new goalkeeper, he must be on good money and is more mistake prone than gerken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 Thats what you want your club too be isit ? a football league acadmey for championship clubs, or do you want to be a championship club I didn't say I wanted it, I'm selfish and would want to keep any good players for ourselves. I said I could see the benefits, look how Peterborough selling a player to Palace has boosted their income. I think being in league one it's harder to hang on to your decent players as Championship clubs come sniffing. Decent players in the Championship don't tend get taken by Prem clubs unless they are that much more proven or extra special. In our (league one) position unless we look like we are ambitious and challenging for promotion clubs above us will naturally look more attractive to players who are on the rise. We either will have to change our position and potential or take it on board we will be selling players and hopefully finding more to either progress with or again sell.

Its no coincidence reid and bryan hav been two of our best players this season as theyve both been here and playing together for years. But aren't we playing a completely new type of football? How come those already here under previous regimes are adapting better than those brought in specifically for this brave new world? SOD and JL can't have it both ways.

swampy Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 Yes let's aim to be a Crewe .. pretty decent place with a university or two .. an airport ... half a million population ... very aspirational. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bar BS3 Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 You must have missed my posts about him, and the info given to me about him by a whole host of Swindon fans... even before we were interested in him. I think they summed him up quite well. Good in the air even if he is a bit of a 50p head. Awful passer. Slow. Needs a organiser organiser along side him. From what I have witnessed they have have got that spot on. I wouldn't say he was an awful passer (port vale aside!) He is very slow though.

redsquirrel Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 forget knocking flint,hes done ok so far.ive seen him win enough in the air already to know our goals against tally is less than would have been without him. ok he looks a bit edgy on the ground but his team mates that cant win the ball in the air should be helping out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nogbad the Bad Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 Sounds like Flint either joined City with an underlying injury, or sustained one early on. With the injury seemingly being 'managed' from game to game it's impossible to know whether we've seen anything like the best of him. Perhaps he should have any necessary op. sooner rather than later - we can probably all remember how McCombe played through injury for several months during his final season before finally having an op. in the February/March. It would be a shame if Flint ever suffered the same abuse, and loss of trust, from fans as McCombe did, simply by being determined not to let down his team mates and the club and continuing to play when not fully fit, and almost inevitably ending up putting in below par performances, and harming his reputation amongst the fans, as a result.

Simon79 Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 I would say we are more of an Aston Villa actually. Just doing things the right way finally. Hopefully our results/luck will change ASAP to back up my theory! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 Are we the new Crewe? Dunno about that tbh, they consistently punched above their weight for years, brought through loads of players in the top 3 divisions, varied England internationals and always played good football- well run too. Can we say the same at this point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
