giles_23_bcfc Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 WE NEED A KEEPER ON THE BENCHWhy do we? All it does is take up a seat on the bench that can be taken by an attacking player.

We have only needed a keeper on the bench once in years!So those 3 games that Basso came off last season to be replaced twice by Phillips and once by Abbey were a dream, were they?

giles_23_bcfc Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 So those 3 games that Basso came off last season to be replaced twice by Phillips and once by Abbey were a dream, were they?Yes! To be honest i don't remember that happening but youre probably right. My point being is that it is a very rare occurance that we need a sub keeper on the bench as opposed to an attacing palyer that could be the difference between 0 point and 1, or 1 point and 3.

Bristol Boy Posted March 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 Whichever way we go is tough on someone with us having our strongest squad available in months.Orr was MOM last week but could miss out in a 3-5-2.If we play with two central midfielders then you can't get LJ & DN on the field.It's a tricky one but those are nice problems to have, not having any strikers is where you don't want to be.

Guest Ron Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 So those 3 games that Basso came off last season to be replaced twice by Phillips and once by Abbey were a dream, were they?While the other 2 occasions were injury related, he came off for Abbey to give Abbey a run-out in his last possible chance at Southend.
