Can’t win We could maybe not have a mini two week training camp during an international break and instead give the players some time off to rest ahead of an extremely busy schedule. 1 Quote Link to comment
Bobtherobin Posted December 9, 2023 Report Share Posted December 9, 2023 We are back to the days of having a forward thinking coach that over (forward) thinks and ends up making crazy decisions. 2 Quote Link to comment

BCFC Rich Posted December 9, 2023 Report Share Posted December 9, 2023 1 minute ago, Jose said: STOP PLAYING SYKES OUT OF POSITION. I don’t get it. I like Williams but free flowing he isn’t. Very strange and a tad depressing. I suspect you are right about Sykes LB - although we don't know for sure, Bell had a few games as Wing back when first breaking through. Also, it's difficult to know who else to play there. Sykes is versatile and is good 1v1 in defense. If Pring and TGH did take a knock who do we play LB? I'd argue Sykes is are best option, not saying it's worth the trade of losing him from attack, but if it is a case of not being able to start Kal, TGH or Pring then who would be better?

Numero Uno Posted December 9, 2023 Report Share Posted December 9, 2023 That's the line-up, we can't change it, let's hope geezer knows what he's doing. I'd love to ask Tins if he felt it was a fully conditioned Top 6 line-up though....... Quote Link to comment

Better to keep the opposition guessing and a little unsure of things. Tbf you’d hope teams aren’t checking twitter an hour before the game so they can decide on a game plan 1 Quote Link to comment

Nige was very open later in his tenure and you could pretty much guess the team. Mannings cunning plan ? Edited December 9, 2023 by Wade Wilson 1 4 Quote Link to comment
1960maaan Posted December 9, 2023 Report Share Posted December 9, 2023 So the pre match with the in house geezer, what's the point ? Basically gives Manning the answers to the questions he asks and doesn't ask the questions every wants. It's why I don't listen to the pre match pressers, except for fitness news.

I'm not sure playing all right footed players on our left hand side is "as good as it gets".

Manning said he wants legs and energy so he’s made tweaks to increase energy and a bit of a tactical change as well. No injuries 2 Quote Link to comment

And you're definitely going to give a team talk before the start of the game. It probably makes very little difference them not knowing, but it might confuse a little and there is no benefit to us giving that info before the game starts. Quote Link to comment

I don't know how we're lining up but lets say Sykes is playing at LB then that will be because he's seen something in the data which makes him think it would be beneficial for us to play Sykes at LB. I think he tries to be too clever is an early observation of mine. It just seems rather bizarre. As I said above, LJ all over again 1 Quote Link to comment

Yes, maybe he thinks it will help them play better in the second half, as that hasn't been the case lately. Quote Link to comment
And Its Smith Posted December 9, 2023 Report Share Posted December 9, 2023 (edited) Could well be this Max Tanner. Dickie. Vyner Weimann. James. Williams. Sykes Bell. Conway. Knight. or knight behind two strikers Edited December 9, 2023 by And Its Smith Quote Link to comment
Spike Posted December 9, 2023 Report Share Posted December 9, 2023 TGH out of the line up but Weimann is in... I just don't understand it, Weimann must be incredible in training to keep getting games. 1 Quote Link to comment

BCFC31 Posted December 9, 2023 Report Share Posted December 9, 2023 I cant beileve he has put sykes at left back that's madness and weimann who's completely out of form at right wing which isn't even his best position conway up top alone again seems a very underwhelming line up this will certainly be interesting 1 Quote Link to comment
