Tomo Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 A game ! FFS - talk about negativity! It maybe reality but lets believe that we can win a game - surely a statement along the lines of "keep it tight at the back and across the midfield and hopefully our forward line can take our chances and we will be celebrating a home win against the very top side in our division" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aizoon Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 A more cynical person than I might suggest that we have to be tight to watch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cider red Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 That's what odriscoll does though, he sets expectations low in the hope that we perform and everyone is elated, when in fact we SHOULD be competing adequately with any team in this division. I listened to cloughs pre match interview on Friday, and he said that we wouldn't be able to cope with them if they played as they can, that is the kind of confidence that floods through to the team (okay they were shit, but they beat us!), I would like for once to hear odriscoll say 'we can win this' or something of that ilk!

We have to stop being so dreary play 2 up top with Jet behind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chinapig Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 That would be one of the numerous chances we create every game I assume? If we get 1, which seems to be par for the course, and it falls to Baldock what are the odds on him taking it, given his record so far, particularly when one to one with the keeper? And how often has keeping it tight brought a clean sheet? Invariably somebody makes a stupid mistake and bang goes the 50-50 chance. It really is depressing that a coach with SOD's reputation as an innovator can't think of anything better to do. I could understand it if these were the tactics specifically for Orient but they are now the tactics for every game. It didn't work against Crewe, it didn't work against Sheff U. Is it more likely to work against Orient? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Right Honourable Les Q Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 "How's yer keeper? Alright! How's yer back four? Too tight! How's yer striker? He's How's yer sister?"

I'm sorry but why is it that we should be competing adequately with any team in this division? The majority of our side are below average footballers with the exception of a few. The sooner some fans wake up and realise this the better. I can think of countless players from this division I would rather have playing for us. With the exception of JET (and Liam Kelly) I don't think we have anyone else that our rivals would take to improve their side. I'm not a massive fan of SOD but I recognise he's got some right rubbish at his disposal down there. Please remove the rose tinted spectacles and realise that unless we add another defender, a creative midfielder and a striker with pace that can score some goals in January (hopefully before) we are fcked.

Aizoon Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 Thanks for that. With this squad, Sean is more likely to keep us up than any other available option. It won't be pretty though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

handballbygordonparr Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 We have to score a kin goal to have any chance of winning let alone a 50% chance. SOD really mumbles some rubbish at times. We could be as tight as my boss and not concede - but still have 0% chance of winning playing 1 up front at home.

Forza Revolution Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 Long journey for me tomorrow. Following another disappointing day Saturday I thought I would look to Bcfc player tonight for inspiration to make the journey. Maybe a battle cry, or even sod saying we will be alright. What did I find ... Nothing of interest. I then looked at bbc football to look at the table for the first time in a while... Wish I hadn't. Anything to look forward to ?

Sleepy1968 Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 We've got less than 27.5% of the points on offer so far this season. I'll take a 50% of the remaining points any day of the week, but especially on saturdays and tuesdays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but questions need to be asked why he's chosen to barely use the likes of Wynter, Harewood, and particularly imo, Burns.

Nogbad the Bad Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 Ask him. I've no idea,. You're stymied too. Well their wages are all out of SO'D's budget, as you call it, and he's given them little or no chance to justfy being so. Why is he contemplating bringing in yet more central defenders with Carey and Wilson, not to mention Brundle, already here? He's confined by budget restrictions, we know that, but he can hardly claim to have made the best of the budget he's got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshtonGreat Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 Because the ones we already had were worse, and we couldn't afford their wages. Well, they weren't. But true they were too expensive. I blame SOD's management more than the players anyway. AG has never been more negative or less appealing than under SOD's rein. At least under McInnes you could expect some entertainment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not seeking to justify Sean's tactics - just pointing out the constraints he's operating under. Some people still don't get it, I'm afraid.

Bringing in another defender is nothing to do with tactics, with the defence apparently at the moment not the problem, it would appear to be a waste of the 'constraints' he operating under and everybody get's it, perhaps SOD doesn't.
