headhunter Posted August 31, 2004 Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 I first noticed this at Barnsley and again on Saturday, and I was not alone. When DW was in charge and others before him, for lengthy periods of the game we would have at least 2 players warming up on the touchline if not in readiness for an imminent substitution then just to keep warm, loosen up. At Barnsley it was a full 20 mins into the 2nd half before I saw anyone get up and then on Saturday there seemed to be a similar level of inactivity. Just before Orr came on Miller, Gillespie and Heff were doing some sprints but our big disappointment from Newcastle appeared to move from the bench with no preparation. I don't think Woodman moved at all in the 2nd. half. Anyone else notice this ? I think Millen should be more active in all respects, he even makes Danny look animated.

Guest Rob Posted August 31, 2004 Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 I think Milly is out of his depth to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stylus Posted August 31, 2004 Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 I actually noticed him give alot of verbal commands in the second half. It was good to see. Even his hands were moving and pointing at areas of the pitch. Lets let him settle in and then we'll see if hes out of his depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol Boy Posted August 31, 2004 Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 The overall level of discipline must be called into question so far this season, with our captain the worst example of leading by disent! One very pleasing stat from Saturday was no bookings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodman was doing a bit of running in his tracksuit bottoms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94th Minute Posted August 31, 2004 Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 I saw miller putting his feet on the bench, complete lack of disipline (btw I'm not trying to get him in trouble with his mum) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clevedon Red Posted August 31, 2004 Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 Is it true that Millen does a fair bit of training at Abbots Leigh? I heard he deals with the senior players more that Tins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted September 1, 2004 Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 The overall level of discipline must be called into question so far this season, with our captain the worst example of leading by disent! One very pleasing stat from Saturday was no bookings. ← I think this was more to do with having a sensible official who let the game flow ( perhaps too much according to the B'ford manager who has bitterly complained since we scored and his player was down) than Tommy who at times seemed to be talking a bit too much to the ref. I know he is captain and has a duty to question etc but there is right way and a wrong way. Tommy seems to not want to let things drop and move on. This qualiity makes him the player he is, but at times shows him to be the player he isn't aswell. I though the Ref and his assistants were amongst the best we have had down the gate for a while?
