So You Were Not A Happy Clapper

[Markman]

Yes - things have gone from bad to worse and now from worse to, well, even worse!!!

I guess Tin's had to go after Swansea, all of us want to see GJ do well but he is making some really dumb decisions:-

Today's defence was HIS - not Tinnions

No striker cover in case Brooker (or Stewart) got injured (Surely Bridges or Gilly should have ben on the bench)

Bradley Orr(full) - come on - J Smith must be a better option?

Gary - for the sake of all of us - GET A GRIP

[Guest Ronmeister]

Nice to see someone agrees with me about Smith - Orr, Johnson & Heywood were having a full scale argument about why there was a gaping hole in our defence on the right, and Orr was blaming it all on Scott Murray

So Heywood and Orr weren't Tinnion's players?

Cotteril wasn't cover upfront?

Cotteril is not a striker IMO, he is a winger

[Guest tommy doc]

damn right cotterill wasn't cover up front becuase he's not a striker. thats why murray spent most of the rest of the game up front and cotterill spent it on the right.

Orr at rightback a few weeks ago I don't think was such a bad idea. He looked to be settling in and making a go of it in that position. However his distribution has gone back to being awful, and just seems to have completely regressed.

Put Psycho back in.

He can play both and his preferred position is striker. I've heard people say countless times that Cotteril is not a winger too! I'd say he is not great in either but I think it's wrong to say we did not have a striker on the bench!

Don't agree.

Heywood was signed by Tinnion. Orr is playing poorly, but Jamie Smith is poor anyway. The two loanees were brought in, but don't forget that Partridge and Golbourne are injured. What else could Johnson do?

An extra striker on the bench would have helped, but it wouldn't have improved the general performance a great deal, cotterill's a skilful pacy attacker after all and he came on and he scored.

Dumb decisions? - GET A GRIP

All about opinion - Orr is out of place (although I am not sure where the right place for him is) - the team is struggling big time - you need experience even if it is a sometimes hot head like Smith - a lot of people said Tinman had lost the players - now we hear GJ has lost the players - the supporters have lost their season - lets be frank - today the support was good but ONLY after a large section walked out screaming abuse (and you could kind of see why - although I would not walk out, nor criticise continuously through the game) - our fans then turned on those fans and thats what kicked off the support demonstrated later in the game - had that not happened what was going to bring on that display of support? It could have been a very grim "booed off" scenario - yes he has made Dumb Decisions and he does need to Get a Grip!

[Alex_BCFC]

What dumb decisions? I would say that most of what is happening to us is down to our reaction after conceeding a goal. We have no bottle in the side. We played well for 20 mins today but Brooker going off was a big blow. We don't have much luck either- and I know luck isn't everything but it looks like relegation due to our poor luck/injuries/ and Tinnion leaving us without four or five vital players (which I have metioned in other threads).

I fully accept the "luck" argument - we get no luck at all - I have never known shots scream in against us like they have recently - normally they would hit the roof or corner post - reminds me of the old blues line "if it wan't for bad luck I'd get no luck at all"
