Not the least his offensive play. It's time to stick together - not to find scapegoats for one single result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's time to stick together - not to find scapegoats for one single result.Can you not read?He has been at fault, for whatever reason for goals against Norwich, Saints, Charlton and Ipswich (2).Its not bitterness towards him, I think he's quality but its a fact.He is just switching off too often and we're getting punished for it at this level.

He didnt make mistakes when he had wilson in front of him, they had a good understanding and wilson tracked back very well. Sproule leaves his man and doesnt track the run far too often Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sproule leaves his man and doesnt track the run far too oftenThats true in general open play.The specific examples I'm thinking off, especially in the home games is a case of the player in front of him having possession or winning it, Brad then switches off and starts to jog back to RB without knowing the player in front has then lost the ball leaving him backing off with a winger running at him.A little more alertness would have prevented a few goals I'm sure.

Alex_BCFC Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 I thought Wilson did well yesterday when he came on considering he was basically playing right back and right wing. Hopefully he will do well given his chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidercity1987 Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 Yep just like Elliot did last season in London. Keogh has burnt his bridges here now I'm afraid. I'd far prefer Wilson in the team, he's always been solid and consistent for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezgimed Posted November 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 I think Keogh did alright last season at right back.But given what this level has to offer at left wingers I think he'd get slaughtered for pace and skill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry but someone that does not want to wear the shirt is not somebody I want in the team I like him but he as said has caused this himself. Would rather Wilson anyway. Keogh is much better at CB.

Andy Horsman Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 Can't see Keogh back in the side, so with Orr suspended, Carey possibly out, McCombe looking shellshocked and McAllister in search of form, my radical proposal would be to play with a back four of:RB: WilsonLB:RiberioCB: VaskoCB:Fontainepace, height,desire to prove their worth, and everything to play for.1.Basso2.Wilson3.Riberio5.Vasko6.Fontaine7.Sproule4.Elliot8.Skuse11.McIndoe9.Trundle10.Showunmi.Subs:Henderson, Noble,Johnson,McCombe,Jevons.As you might have also therefore gathered, I'm not a fan of Byfield, imo, a player no better than those we already had.

I like the player, but just think his defensive quailties and strength might be an issue.I still wouldn't mind a gamble on one of the younger lads, especially as they aren't actually that young so should be quite strong.Sorry but someone that does not want to wear the shirt is not somebody I want in the team I like him but he as said has caused this himself. Would rather Wilson anyway. Keogh is much better at CB.Does not want to wear the shirt? Thats abit unfair as no one knows what went on during the summer.But I've never seen Keogh give anything less then 100% on the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BristolCity1992 Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 Yeah I agree but that was before this summer. I trust Gary and clearly Gary feels at the moment he is not in the right frame of mind for us when Gary decides he is then that will be fine by me.

CiderJar Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 I find criticism of Orr for the 2nd Ipswich goal slightly bizarre. He was the closest defender to a strangely spinning ball which bounced and as he was about to hoof it clear an Ipswich player nipped in and Orr kicked him instead. The player got hold of the ball, took a bit of time to control it before crossing the ball where their defender rose unchallenged to plant a great header beyond Basso. McAlister was on the wrong side of that player trying to head thin air and was more at fault for the goal than Bradley Orr. Orrs challenge (for the 2nd goal not the penalty itself) reminded me of Danny Coles challenge to concede the penalty against Brighton in the play-off final. As a defender there is not a lot you can do if you have set yourself to whack the ball clear and a player gets there a fraction quicker. Just thought I'd offer an alternatve view.

Midge Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 you all seem to forget that had Lee Johnson not given the ball away(for the 10th time) with a stupid back heal which led to Ipswich breaking and ultimately winning the match,then Orr wouldn't have had to get sent off,I hold no blame for him whatsoever.

Tunley Legend Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 People are watching a different game to me. I find it bizarre to blame Orr for a few of the goals mentioned above. The opinion I would respect a lot more is that of Jim Magilton and the Ipswich coaching staff who CLEARLY identified JAMIE MCALLISTER as our weakest defensive link given that they spent 90% of the game attacking down that side. I also find it bizarre that many people who like to have a dig at Bradley get on their very high horse if anyone dares have a similar pop at Lee Johnson who genuinely has been playing poorly this season.

Redhyde Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 I love both our full backs, but there's a reason we've got four young professional defenders on the books.They're not the answer long term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
