Drew Peacock Posted September 2, 2012 Posted September 2, 2012 (edited) Bad full backs - same as last season. Watching from behind the goal yesterday, it must be instructions that Ricketts and Mears drift into the centre, leaving Eagles and CYL to cover. It doesn't work - in the first half there was acres of space on both wings. We got raped using this system plenty of times last season - why bloody persist with it. I would seriously consider bringing Ricky back as left back. Edited September 2, 2012 by Drew Peacock Quote
enzo gambaro Posted September 2, 2012 Posted September 2, 2012 End of season robinson released mears is back, so fuck steinsin off and we have out 2 right backs in mears and riley and two left backs in ricketts and alinso Robinson no club, Gardner no club, Boyata loaned to McClaren at Twente. Steinsson made his debut for Kayserispor yesterday. Not a comment so much as an update. Klasnic has gone to Gaziantepspor but isn't involved tonight. NRC - no club. Quote
Atomic White. Posted September 2, 2012 Posted September 2, 2012 I don't think Gartside should sack Owen tbh. I think Owen should throw his hand in, he can't do anything with this team. Leave before you drill us into the ground please. Hand in your notice, do the right thing for B.W.F.C Quote

DazBob Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 (edited) bring Robinson back his only issue was no cover from Petrov.. hahaha - I so very nearly bit then. Edited September 3, 2012 by DazBobParr Quote
smithills_gent Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 bring Robinson back his only issue was no cover from Petrov.. Warnock had him on loan at Leeds last season and said he didn't offer him a contract because he didn't have enough pace Quote
birch-chorley Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 Warnock said El Hadji Diouf is an utter cunt then signed him for Leeds. I am not saying we should sign Robbo, far from it but we are on thin ice if we start taking what Warnock says seriously Quote
Whites man Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 (edited) we are on thin ice if we start taking what Warnock says seriously Warnock deserves his title as the biggest sh*t in football but was about the only person to come out of that fly on the wall documentary about QPR with any credit. Liverpool have the cameras in this season, hopefully their season will continue on its' current course & that DVD will be unmissable. Edited September 3, 2012 by Whites man Quote
Miller Posted September 15, 2012 Posted September 15, 2012 Posting this in the 1 in a trillion chance it is read. I have been a big fan of yours the last 3 years. I think you have assembled a fantastic squad whilst reducing the wage bill at the same time. Your eye for a player is up there with the very best in the country in my opinion. I have supported you through thick and thin because of this and also because of the horrendous luck we have had with injuries. I was with you 100% when we went down and thought the signings you made over the summer, once again were very good. You openly said you had made mistake (we all do, no problem) and you said you would learn from them. Some of the decisions you have made this season have been absolutely horrendous. I was thinking last night, I bet you wish you could start the season again and make the correct decisions, the problem is you have proved you don't learn from your mistakes and nothing would change. I have no lost faith in you. Not because of your signings in and out, not because of your training methods, not because of your ability to motivate players. The reason is your team selections. Please answer the following questions. 1) Why have you played the following centre back pairings in our first four games of the season. Knight/Ream, Knight/Mills, Knight/Mills and yesterday Knight /Ream? One of your biggest mistakes last season was chopping and changing the centre backs and not letting a partnership develop. Look at all the best defensive records in every single league, they all have a settled backed 4 that play every single game injuries and suspension permitting. You started Knight/Mills in our final pre season game against Barcelona which should have been the two that started against Burnley. Instead you changed to Knight/Ream where Ream had a shocker and was dropped. It was back to Knight/Mills for the Derby game where we kept a clean sheet which meant Mills kept his place against Forest. We then concede two against Forest and Mills is dropped again for Ream against Hull where he then has a nightmare. For fucks sake, can you not see what you are doing? Pick your best two and fucking stick to them. I don't care who it is you pick, just decide on your best two and let them develop a partnership. Tough luck on the one who is left out, he gets in when theres an injury, suspension or a CONTINUED POOR RUN OF FORM, not one fecking game. I want to see the same pairing for the next 20 games and I don't care if we concede 50 in that time, just stick with it and let them gel. 2) Just before the season started, you did an interview with Wanderers World. Now I understand this is probably a pain in the arse and most managers just reel off any old answer. In your words you are always honest which I respect, so can you explain the following. You said in this interview a few days before the season started you had built a squad where we have two players for every position. You went through the squad one by one and named the players competing for each position. You said we had two right wingers (CYL & Eagles) and two left wingers (Petrov & Wylde). Again, impressive and made complete sense. Can you answer why after the FIRST game of the season this has been thrown out the window? You said we had two players for every position, not me, you. If you felt the need to drop Petrov after one game, why was Wydle not in? Im not debating that Eagles is the better player, im not debating hes been one of our better players since coming in, but you said we had two players for each position. You scrapped this after ONE game and we had CYL on the right, Eagles on the left and TWO left wingers on the bench. We also had Alonso on the bench. Eagles should not have been on the pitch unless you felt Chungy deserved to be dropped. It once against shows in imbalanced squad, when you spefically went out of your way to make the squad as balanced and as fully loaded for every position as you could. 3) The old formation debate. I actually feel sorry for you here as the fans are fucking idiots. The whole time Megson was here (and during Big Sams time) they moaned and moaned for 442 instead of the boring/negative 451/433. You went about and shaped your squad to suit the 442 system. We have 4 out and out wingers. We had the perfect midfield two in Holden and Muamba, with Mark Davies coming off the bench and having his influence on the game for 20 minutes against tired legs. Losing Holden was the beggining of the end, we knew he was good but we didnt realise how good he was. I won't going into detail about the formations and selections since losing Holden as its boring. You played 442 with Andrews and Mark Davies where we get overrun and then when you sign the missing piece (Spearing), you go to a 5 man midfield FFS The only good thing to come out of yesterday is it exposes the myth of the 451 and Mark Davies being a world beater if used properly. He isnt and never will be. Hes an impact player living off the good game he had against Arsenal. 4) Bringing on Afobe before Sordell yesterday - WHAT THE FUCK? All of these are just minor things that contribute to one big old fuck up. Anyway im running out of energy now as its a waste of time, you wont learn and will continue to make the same mistakes. Without question, our best team and the one we should play is the following. Play it and we have a chance. You wont though. 442 ----------Bogdan--------------- Mears--Mills--Knight--Ricketts CYL--Andrews-Spearing-Petrov -------Ngog------Sordell-------- This is one of the best posts on here. What I would say is I think CYL is a good player but in your team I see no place for eagles? Has he not been the best player for you this season. I understand balance is important. Is eagles not better in hat position than CYL. Quote
enzo gambaro Posted September 15, 2012 Posted September 15, 2012 Currently, Eagles probably is better. If they're both at their best, Chungy is streets ahead. If Chungy is going to get back to his best, though, he needs to play. Catch 22. Quote
Gumbo Posted September 15, 2012 Posted September 15, 2012 Eagles and mears are the first to players on the team sheet arnt they? Quote

Rembrandt Posted September 15, 2012 Posted September 15, 2012 Eagles and mears are the first to players on the team sheet arnt they? Along with Knight (fair enough at present), Ricketts and SKD. Quote
