YOU need to take a LONG hard look at yourselfs and think about it, should YOU really call youself a fan...AND should you really be in charge of a supporters club??? Should you???

Collis Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 It wasn't exactly an inspirational goal, more of a tap in. Just a case of being in the right place at the right time. Apart from the goal he didn't really make a difference but he did do his job well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pickle Rick Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 It was good for Scotty to get a goal today. He really wants to play and suceed for the club and the fans. He shown how much it meant to him to be playing especially after his court case. He is the man and all the best to him. Theres only on Scotty Brown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tux1982 Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 well said wilksi, fair enough he died out in the second half but so did most of the team!!!! For me today keogh and murray were the weaker links. Keogh looks uncomfortable as a rightback and I'm suprised him and Carey didnt try swapping in the game, Murray was a bit off the pace and I hope he comes good on friday.

Godzilla Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 I posted my thoughts on the Scott Brown issue a couple of weeks ago, and after watching his performance today I stick by that. (You can read those thoughts HERE).Incidently, I thought early on today Scott got sucked inside far too often and got caught out of position a couple of times. I guess that's only natural, considering he's a right footed player who has played much of his football in the middle playing wide left. Whereas Wilkshire used to come inside to 'affect the game' (as GJ calls it) and make things happen, I thought it only served to leave McAllister a little exposed at times today.However, he improved as the game went on as he seemed to get his bearings back, and I'd play him wide left at Tranmere.As a side issue, quite a few people have grumbled about the central pairing of Johnson and Noble. Whilst LJ probably had his worst game for us so far today, I didn't think our back four looked in too much trouble, and apart from a long-rage effort from Carpenter, they only really got in behind us once where Keogh was caught out a little bit for pace. Nonetheless, we've dominated at Cheltenham and won twice since then with the Johnson and Noble central midfield partnership (In a 4-4-2, not including the Blackpool farce), so I wouldn't make too many changes to a winning team. What I do think we'll need, however, is the presence of Showunmi up top back in the team. We went direct far too often today and the ball didn't really stick with either Jennison or Jevo, so it's important we get Enoch back in the team to add some strength and steel to our front line. This isn't going to popular, but although Jennison was superb today, I felt Jevons was quietly efficient too and I would probably continue with him at Tranmere with Enoch.

Chappers Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 What did we learn today - we have no quality wide players, not enough cover up front, Brighton are pitiful in the final third, Basso looks better when he cuts out the flash stuff, Keogh is not great at right back, Williams is very one-footed and it was not quite the classic that some had predicted. In terms of entertainment, 2/10. But it was 3 points and a much needed lift!On the subject of Brighton, did anyone else notice that their fans hardly got excited when attacking? It was almost as if both they, and the team did not believe that they would ever score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was almost as if both they, and the team did not believe that they would ever score.Thats laughable to be honest.2 out of 10!?! The team shown good spells of good football. Especially in the first half, we were tearing them apart at time with the likes of Jevo and the pace of Jennison Williams. I was pretty happy with the performance considering the torment we have had to deal with. Scott Brown showed a great attitude on the field. Today we shown the character we have in the side.

Mr Roper Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 I thought it was not a bad game at all ,we did play well in patches & kept them to long shots only .Williams did brilliantly in his first full match & on another day could had scored a couple.I think he has massive potential. Why is it when we win a lot of fans will not give us credit ,only saying the opposition must be bad ,for a weakened side playing after such turmoil this week the boys did well !!

Robbored Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 I was delighted for Scotty Brown when he scored but I stick to my original appraisel of him as a footballer.What else did he do other than score?

Nibor Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 Delighted he scored. Fair play to him.Other than that he was poor. Gave the ball away far too much, but I doubt that your loving eyes picked that up.Carry on with your love festival though Wilksy, I''m sure you'll get good inside info.

Chappers Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 I must be getting grumpy in my old age - I really thought that it was a pretty poor game and 2/10 was realistic. City did well considering the problems, but the lack of width was evident, and apart from our young debutant, pace was sadly lacking. Ultimately, we can do no more than beat whatever is in front of us, but Brighton were truly shocking, they had a lot of the play in the second half, but at no time was I worried - They looked like City did in 81/82 and 82/83, when goals were as rare as quality ITV programmes.Orient must be better, at least I will have Clayton Fortune to laugh at!

He had his usual energy and enthusiasm but I thought he gave the ball away quite a bit, lacked an awareness of the players around him and didn't actually make many tackles.

screech Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 I thought Brown did ok like most of the other players, nothing special, got back to help Mcallister like Murray did and was average going forward. Did well to pick up the loose ball to score the goal. Everyone knows (well nearly everyone) that Scott Brown, no matter how energetic, will never be the answer on he left of midfield, he needs to be played in the middle as a holding player, and that is not going to happen while Noble and Johnson remain fit.I like Brown as a player, but Johnson has his favourites and wont change his mind, and he has more riding on it than you and I so good luck to him.If you want to talk about MOM yesterday then that was crystal clear, thank god Louis Carey is at the back at the moment, truly awesome display once again.

Robbored Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 To be fair to all the players - it couldn't have been easy coming out to 10500 fans after all thats gone on this week.They must have been more nervous than usual for a home game.They all did ok but as usual I thought Noble was excellant as was Carey.Those two stood out for me.As for Jevons - I liked the look of him.He made good runs and was not afraid to shoot from distance.He was unlucky not to score yesterday.I was suprised that Williams was given MoM. For his frst full game he did ok especially for the goal but he wasn't the best City player imo.He choked in front of goal twice which can be put down to nerves of course.After he scores his first senior goal we may see a far cooler finisher.Good to see another academy player making it through..

cider head Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 TOP SHOUT..scotty brown showed great character to play let alone scoreafter his stress with the court case and i take my hat off to himit took balls..top man, great little player.AND I TAKE MY HAT OFF TO THE REST OF THE TEAM, ALL OF THEM FOR A GOOD DISPLAY.END OF....It wasn't exactly an inspirational goal, more of a tap in. Just a case of being in the right place at the right time. Apart from the goal he didn't really make a difference but he did do his job well.right place at the right, YEP, and that is why he should playnot the drifting play that we have seen.

exiledinwatford Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 Well you thought wrong then didn't youI wouldn't disagree with Nibor - I thought Brown was average as were most of the team other than McCallister, Fontaine, Carey (obvios MoM) and even Basso. Keogh should be given a pat on the back for being OK out of position but everyone else.....Williams looked a good prospect and when he relaxes he may well become quite an asset!
