blackthorn slice Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 why is this bloke getting so much stick?to me he gives 110% effort at a time when we need it [ unlike others ]and to me drags defenders away giving brooker more time to do the damage up front he,s capable of doing.

City fans just need to be having a go at someone all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bs3 Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 I just think its because he not very good, I watched him a couple of times and thought he was poor. I never heard anyone have a go at him at the ground, the fans do get behind him, but speak to most fans in the pub afterwards and they think he is a poor player.

sambessey Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 If I played for City I would give 110% every time but it doesn't mean I am good enough to ACTUALLY PLAY. It takes the ability to play well enough as well as effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke_Ciderhead Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 Savage is a battler and a fighter, just the sort of donkey we need for a harcore relegation battle, rather than some fairy that doesnt want to get stuck in.Once we're out of this mess, then we'll concentrate on the pretty football again.

It takes the ability to play well enough as well as effort.Of course that's true, but the point is that we've 3 out of the last 4. So, why do we have to have a go at anyone at the moment? Besides, I don't think he's that bad. He got an assist on Wednesday didn't he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antman Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 On Tuesday I sat and listened to some braindead numpty at the back of the Atyeo yelling at Savage every time he made the smallest error.He didn't acknowledge the way he battled and won headers and laid the ball off for the goal, or the later runs and the sheer effort he put in. He also continued to tackle back throughout the game.He doubtless also failed to notice the fact that he carried on making runs off the ball up front al night, and these runs take players out of the play allowing Brooker more room.He's ungainly and looks like he needs to know that he can do alright, but just remember Devon White.Oh how we used to mock the lamppost (as he was known) but he demonstrated how a player of this type can work out.More interestingly on Tuesday was how Marcus Stewert did when he came on.little running off the ball, little or no link up play (we were watching him specifically) no won headers and not a lot to offer.Right here, right now, Bas Savage is working for us. - get off his back.

MATT BCFC Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 Hes not going to score bags full of goals but he gives 110 per cent and causes defences trouble at this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeordieDazza Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 He was very good for you today I thought. don't underestand why he was subbed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhatWill Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 Savage was very good today, before being subbed for ineffective Stewart.Stewart's total contribution today was to lose the ball 3 times and fail to find a City player with any pass. Oh and that lightening pace, just fantastic.Must go in January... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James M Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 I really need someone to explain the logic of getting rid of a quick, strong striker, who gave 100% in Madjo, who would score goals if given the chance.And replace him with, umm, Bas. I can't describe him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James M Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 I think Madjo was good enough, he just needed a few starts really. He's showing he can score at Forest Green (yes, lower standard and all), but even when he was here he looked far more like scoring than, say, Stewart.And he was quick, which is something we really lack up front.
