Esmond Million's Bung Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 To rebuilding the unbalanced squad and warns us that it will take time. Now,where have i heard that before ? You heard it from the previous 3, who then proceeded to make the squad even more unbalanced, never addressing a pussy midfield only having one viable striker on the books and a reliable goalkeeper. if SC addresses that finally we might be getting somewhere.

Nogbad the Bad Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 To rebuilding the unbalanced squad and warns us that it will take time. Now,where have i heard that before ? Yeah, well O'Driscoll was building a team for some dream league in his head which doesn't exist - certainly not Division 3 in England. He's left Cotterill with a few good players but overall a weak, weedy, and ineffective team which would likely have failed to avoid relegation to Div.4. Very imbalanced under his stubborn leadership - no drive in midfield, no leaders, no wingers, almost no shots at goal. The team he put on the pitch was completely unfit for task. Cotterill knows he has to build a spine with strong dependable characters for this level, and then take the game to the opposition, rather than worry about them so much the players become impotent. It will probably only take 3 or 4 players of the type SO'D either couldn't find, or more likely didn't actually want, and we should see a set up where the younger or less physical players have a better platform to show what they're made of. Hopefully Cotterill will get them in place as quickly as possible next month, but I'm sure we all understand overnight is not possible, and he's little choice but to go with what O'Driscoll left him until then. Hence it will take time and a bit more patience will indeed be needed by us all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully contact already made with who he will try to bring in, then hopefully on board as soon into the new year as possible Can we really afford to go through to the end of January like this?

Aizoon Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 it's called the human gestation period. There's something about BCFC that reminds me of the MBA-qualified manager who recruited nine women to produce a baby in one month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
