alandicks Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 Am I the only one who thought that although Basso's handling and shot saving was good his communication with his defence was shocking.In the last twenty minutes on numerous occsasions with City under pressure the ball from long Hull punts forward should have been his.Instead there was obviously no call and the defender attempted to clear which in blustery conditions was difficult & ended up with the ball back at a Hull players feet..Just felt he could have shown a bit more confidence & helped the defence in difficult conditions by claiming the ball.Not really a critisism just an observation.Well done the lads today though I felt the wind spoiled the game.

windmillhillred Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 absolutely right. He didn't deserve man of the match - quite what was going on when Hull hit the post is anyone's guess, although presumably the decision had been made by then. He didn't make any stunning saves, although I appreciate as a keeper you can have a cracking game without doing so. Johnson was quality today, McIndoe covered every inch of the pitch and Dele's first half performance was out of this world - immensely powerful and dangerous.

Will Rollason Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 Adebola for me. Took on half the team on his own at times .. and won....... DELE!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossjonesuk Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 Dele and McIndoe head and shoulders above everyone else for performance... I rarely agree with the MOM decisions though!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddog Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 I can't see beyond McCoombe, absolute colossus at the back and a stunning winning goal. McIndoe played well without support or end product.Adebloa worked hard, again with little or no support and could hardly move in the last 15 minutes.

daisybcfc Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 McIndoe covered every inch of the pitch, defo Man of the Match todayhe always does, his attitude has been exemplary this season. he's seems to get my vote every week though!!!

The wind did spoil the game at times but the wind did seem to be on our side unlike one of the linesmen that gave 4 decisions for offside against us that clearly seemed onside. :noexpression: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_BCFC Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 McIndoe and Adebola were our best players today- just like they were at Colchester. McCombe also did his duties very well along with scoring a fantastic, yet somewhat hilarious, goal.I don't really remember Basso making that many saves or any good ones anyway so not sure why he got it.

But for me it has to be Ivan Sproule, never shirked his duties, always looking for the ball, fantastic engine, great runs, immense speed and superb positional play. Well done.

I thought Sproule was quite average again. Yes he works hard but he didn't offer much going forward except one bursting run. For me he is very frustrating.

The 1976/77 side probably was better given that our first game back in the top flight was away at Arsenal's 'all stars' and we beat them. Things seemed to fall apart when Paul Cheesley got injured against Stoke, had that injury not occurred I don't think we'd have been battling relegation but challenging for Europe.

tin Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 Dele and McIndoe head and shoulders above everyone else for performance... I rarely agree with the MOM decisions though!!Spot on. I thought Dele was superb yesterday. Clearly that was one of those 'one games in four' when he's unstoppable that the Coventry fans said when we signed him. McIndoe continues to amaze me. His performances just seem to keep getting better and better with every game. I don't think I've ever seen such a naturally fit player in my life.

Is there any fat on McIndoe's frame? - he just seems like a lean, mean football machine to me and his dribbling skills are fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been a superb signing for us and just keeps getting better. I was a bit sceptical when we signed him with what I'd heard about his attitude and off the field antics but fair play to him, the attitude he's brought a huge belief in himself and unreal desire to win.

McIndoe's been at a fair few clubs in a short space of time so hopefully he'll stay with us and continue to be a fantastic asset to BCFC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bh_red Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 thought Basso had a pretty decent game, and made a number of good shots look comfortable.wasn't a basso fan when he joined, but looking to be the best keeper we have had in a VERY long time, as for Man of the Match for me close call between McIndoe and Adebola, but Dele just shades, has hit the ground running and looks to be an EXCELLENT signing which has sure proved me wrong. Looks like he will get a fair few goals between now and end of season.if we don't go up and we can keep the basis of the squad we have now, I wouldn't be shocked to see him get 15-20 next season in the championship.
