RedTide Posted November 4, 2003 Report Share Posted November 4, 2003 SIZE=14]Been reading the post about Miller and Wilkshire, and it got me thinking. I just think that no-one at the club plays for DW. Whatever strengths as a manager he's got, motivation isn't one of them. When a player is subbed, he doesn't even acknowledge them, let alone pat them on the back. He calls every other club in the world, even Bradford Park Avenue, a great side. He said Luton, for instance, were hard to break down, but they'd shipped 21 goals in 8 games before we played them! So Miller and Wilkshire might well do it in time, but we have to wait til he's gone and we get gary Johnson, who is always totally gutted if his side loses, doesn't say his strikers played well if they missed chances and always expects his team to be better than the opposition. One consolation is the squad. It's not has beens, like say Tottenham or Bolton, or neverwillbes, like the Gas, but young, capable players. I looked at the ages of the squad and their location, see below, and that - above all - gives me hope. 1. Bath 25 2. Bristol 26 3. Newcastle 32 4. Bristol 24 5. Stockport 31 6. Bristol 22 7. Australia 22 8. Bristol 23 9. Scotland 27 10. Scotland 20 11. Durham 35 12. Bristol 23 14. Preston 38 (GK) 15. Plymouth 23 16. Shaftesbury 22 17. Middlesbrough 24 18. Cardiff 24 19. Bristol 22 20. Kenton 21 22. Bristol 21 24. Tiverton 21 25. London 21 27. Congo 19 28. Bristol 19 29. Bristol 19 30. Telford 19 Squad total: 26 players (2 goalkeepers, 9 defenders, 8 midfielders, 7 strikers) No of Bristol lads:09 No of local lads: 14 Average age: 24 (23 if you take out Tins and Stowell!)

Mr Mosquito Posted November 4, 2003 Report Share Posted November 4, 2003 Good shout smiler Danny Wilson, the manager that can't/wont motivate is the weakest link. Bye, bye Wilson - but hang on!!!! Wilson may actually want the sack and maybe happy for his 3 year contract to be paid up and it seems Steve Lansdown may not want to pay. Danny Wilson got into the same position at Sheff Weds and got paid off - we've been had !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fct Posted November 5, 2003 Report Share Posted November 5, 2003 I agree that a motivator is required. Amankwaah's attitude ws disgraceful against Luton but that must point to dressing room unrest which is bad news for the team's chances this season. As I said before, all is not well in the State of Denmark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
