Do we actually have a spinless team that just isn't up for battles anymore?

 

I don't see anyone in the side as a true leader, one that will roll up their sleeves and start to boss the team and if nothing else give others either encouragement or a kick up the arse. The old age argument that they are all professionals doesn't wash with me, far too many players are passive and just coast through games that are not always going to plan. Controversial as this may appear I think Kevin Davies needs to be stripped of the armband but who the hell you would pass it too I've not a clue?!?

 

My honest opinion is that we needs someone like Kevin Nolan and yes many didn't like him but you could never doubt his commitment to the cause, something our current players are lacking big time. So who in the current squard is up for it and has the commitment, desire and holds enough respect to be captain?

I don't think a captain makes a lot of difference except for winning the coin toss. What we are lacking is heart throughout the team. We need players who would lay down their lives for BWFC. Players like Chris eagles are not what we need, he seems to be more worried about losing his hairband. Fuckin ponce.

Reo-cocker has been captain at every club he has been at? Must be something in that?

you realise he won't invite you round any more if he reads this?

I was surprised yesterday, when subbed, SKD handed the armband to NR-K to give to Knight. I'd have thought Knight had enough on his plate trying to deal with rooney et all, to want to be skipper as well.

My town team is more important, that will always be there as will the supporters, move on anewman.

 

The point is, are we spinless? What ever happened to that in your face attitude and the upbeat and togetherness of the team. We've always had a leader on the pitch and I just don't see it now. Jazza is kind of right when he points out Eagles as a ponce, we can't carry players like him who just sit out there waiting for the ball then fail to anything with it when it arrives. This isn't a knee jerk and yes we have had a difficult start everyone can see that but we need to mix and match teams. I'd say the captain to a certain degree anyway has an influence while on the pitch, if they don't then they shouldn't be doing the job.

in summary, yes we are fuckin spineless, no bottle on the pitch, actually soft as fuckin shit, you couldn't see eagles or petrov backing you up if it went off

 

 

ALSO I have noticed, when kevin davies form dipped badly last season, he was busy arranging a charity ball at the reebok, tomorrow he has a big golf day organised................coincidence or what?

This isn't KD bashing thread just a debate if we are spineless and need someone that has the grit to carry us through the tough times.

my apologies, thought it was a debate about the captain

He does have a point HW. Are the form of our skipper and the proximity to a charity function interlinked? Based on the evidence we have before us I'd say it's a distinct possibility.

 

Maybe the charitable stuff ought to be the domain of retired footballers hoping to give something back.

Some players improve when given the responsibility

 

I reckon NRC and knight are such players.

there should be 11 captains out there

That was what I was saying... You shouldn't need someone to motivate you, or tell you to get stuck in, it should be a given when you pull on a white shirt. We have too many primadonnas in the team.

my apologies, thought it was a debate about the captain

It is a debate about the captain etc also, just trying to say I'm not blaming KD as I dont' think he's captain material. Someone else shoulc step up the mark.

I would go for one from NRC, Cahill or Holden.

Give it to Reo-Coker.

Does that mean he has to play every game?

 

Fuck that.

 

Only two platers falls into the every game catagory. Jussi and Cahill.

 

Looks like Davies is keeping it.

fcuking hell

 

we;re spineless cos we get battered by teams with 11 players all better than our 11

 

we're spineless cos we don't kick fuck out of the opposition

 

fcuk me, what utter bollocks

 

i've even read the site cretins suggesting we don't try

 

 

our players aren't as good as the opposition and our manager can't organise them

 

 

other than that, i don't see why we can't beat the likes of city and united

 

davies is finished, and has been for pushing 18 months, but spineless?

 

bollocks

On 909 now they are talking about carragher being a leader and that's what keeps him him the team even though he isn't the player he was.

 

Davies isn't and has never been a leader in terms of being vocal

 

But he did lead by example.

 

Can't remember the last time he did that.

spot on Davies was puting himself about until he got booked Reo Coker kept going but you cant really expect to

beat the scum playing 4-4-2 when they are on top of their game ............Coyle needs to wise up & show some

flexibility in his formation

reo coker id consider for captain. Knight no chance, primarily cos i dont think he should be in the 11

I wouldn't have Rio Coker on the bench

That, and he's the best defender they have...

 

Dont shoot the messenger
