TraffordWhite58 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 In Freedman's interview that has just gone on the website, he mentioned "fine lines" about half a dozen times, he must have dug out Coyle's book of phrases & excuses. Again we just need to take our chances and we've playing very well and are not far away..it's all a weekly theme this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Casino Posted September 30, 2014 Moderators Share Posted September 30, 2014 (edited) This speaks volumes about the bingo caller... A solid base is crucial for any team that cherishes success and it is something the Whites have distinctly lacked this season. In 12 matches in league and cup, Freedman has utilised eight different back-four combinations, using nine players. On only three occasions has he kept faith with the same quartet – made up of Tim Ream, Matt Mills, Dorian Dervite and Dean Moxey – who kept that solitary shutout against Sheffield Wednesday. They played in successive matches against the Owls, Rotherham and Wolves before Ream was omitted for the Capital One Cup clash at Chelsea. Prior to that, Ream had been an ever-present, albeit in a variety of positions, with vice captain Matt Mills now the one with the most appearances having sat out just one of the dozen games. And while last season’s player of the year was also on the sidelines in the weekend defeat to Derby, Ream appreciates the importance of stability at the back. from http://www.theboltonnews.co.uk/sport/11503078.Freedman_s_constant_search_for_the_best_back_line/?ref=mr theres a lot he can be criticised for but i don't think the defensive changes are one of them his first choice pre season wouldve been bogdan, mcnaughton, wheater, mills and moxey im not sure all five have ever been available together? the changes have generally been shunting ream to fill whichever gap has come up, haven't they i think all five have played in whichever league games theyve been fit for Edited September 30, 2014 by Casino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do believe it would have been the same back five whatever if they'd all have been fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rembrandt Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 We've just missed out on a Palace midfielder ? (BN) The missing link missed. <sigh> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was so furious I had to walk the 3 miles home too cool off. And at my age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Blixa Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Bruce Rioch had a similar policy when he came in.Big Sam did until recently. Nothing new to go for what you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoopJohnnyJohn Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Might have been more apt if all 3 pathways had us signing a midfielder from Palace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mounts Kipper Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 (edited) Bruce Rioch had a similar policy when he came in.Big Sam did until recently. Nothing new to go for what you know. It's a good policy if you know the player but if you know them and you know their shit it's not a very good idea to sign them.

tomski Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I actually think the back line is pretty solid, despite a lack of support from midfield. Which is crazy considering I have never know a deeper lying midfield so cut off from our 1 or 2 forwards! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arrested development Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 This Belgian chap at charlton has signed mainly Belgian players this summer and charlton are two points off top of the table. It would of been nice to get Jonny Williams as our palace loan midfielder. He scored for Ipswich 4 mins after coming on as substitute last night. But unfortunately we got Garvan,.

Juan.Kerr Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I nearly shit myself today. Walking up Brackley St. in Farnworth there was a notice board outside one of the paper shops saying we were linked with NGog. I thought no, this is the throw after the last throw of the dice. Fortunately it was an old notice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
