January 20, 201412 yr Tomorrow night at the Reebok..... Could be interesting to hear their take on DFs comments.....
January 20, 201412 yr I thought Knight was an utter cunt who just laughs when we lose? Seems odd he should bother to turn up to this.
January 20, 201412 yr Fair play to him I say. The amount of shit he gets, he must have broad shoulders to turn up to something like this. What's the Q and A in aid of? Is it a supporters club thing?
January 20, 201412 yr I thought Knight was an utter cunt who just laughs when we lose? Seems odd he should bother to turn up to this. Behave yourself Zat knight is the black anti christ
January 20, 201412 yr I'm not a fan of knight but fair play to him facing the fans after Saturday, even bwsa will give them a hard time
January 20, 201412 yr Bet they are glad they agreed to this! Fair play if they turn up and face the music.
January 20, 201412 yr It should be heaving, folk have plenty to say to Knight at the match, so hopefully they'll pitch up to question/abuse him face to face Fair fucks to the both if they do turn up, as it won't be an easy ride I wouldn't have thought Edited January 20, 201412 yr by CWP
January 20, 201412 yr I'd rather they turned up on a Saturday afternoon than some bullshit q&a there's been far too much "time to man up" bollox talked for 3 fucking years they should turn up take all the flak say nothing whatsoever when they've earnt some respect they can have their say Edited January 20, 201412 yr by onlyoneawalker
January 20, 201412 yr It's with the BWSA, they most cutting thing they'll ask is what's their favourite soap opera. Cunts.
January 20, 201412 yr They're both planning to get pilled up and spending all evening trying to hug the front row by way of apology. ITK
January 21, 201412 yr big thing on FB on the FOMR Do tell for those not a part of that. Please say it was a civilised evening.
January 21, 201412 yr BWSA nights are usually quite reserved, friendly and chilled out evenings with players attending to answer questions and fans getting together to talk all things Wanderers. With this one following what was a diabolical showing at the weekend, I was slightly concerned that tonight would be quite the opposite and that some may show up purely to vent their understandable concerns. Thankfully though, it went for the majority of the time ok. Credit was given to both Zat and Ray...Jay for showing up when they could quite easily have bailed and straight away they apologised for the Reading display. That game has had an obvious effect on the two and from what they said, the squad as a whole. They know that what they produced on not just Saturday, but the whole season, isn't good enough and nowhere near what they and we as fans expected of the campaign. They understood that they could only apologise so much, but they realise the only way to really apologise is to produce better, much better, on Saturday and in particular next Tuesday in the league game against QPR. Chris Elsden asked the question about playing in front of the Reebok crowd and whether they preferred playing away, Zat understood fans frustrations at home, but asked for the fans to stay on board and become the 12th man again, he also pointed out that whilst understanding booing at full time, booing during the game and at half time does have a negative effect on the team. There were a few injury updates, Cavies has struggled all season with a series of niggly hamstring strains, and they confirmed that Holden is returning to the US for a week soon, and will return to step up match fitness. Zat was asked about his preferred centre half partner and it was pointed out that both had played better with Ream. Knight said with Ream being left sided and he and Mills both being right, it definitely brought more balance to the back four. Asked about team rotation, both said this was DF's choice and usually done with the opposition in mind. They let slip that keeping players happy was also a factor, but they also mentioned about 'rebellious' players in the squad. They named no names, but its clear there are some divisions there. I asked about the captaincy and you can see the answer on Claire Louise Wrights video the answer. A gentleman who turned up late took the mic and praised Jay for his spirit and fight, he then turned on Zat and started to lay into him, claiming he was past it and only there to claim his wage, which he also said of other players. Marc Iles stepped in briefly, but the mic was grabbed by Spearing who calmly, but firmly told the man he was out of order, not for his opinion, but for the manner he had put it across. I was surprised that he was the only one to voice this view as talk on twitter suggested masses of fans would be showing up to vent like this, but he was the only one. Spearing's reaction and defence of his team mate was admirable and proved to me there is a team spirit and togetherness in the majority of the camp. Pete Entwhistle, founder of the BWSA also took the mic and asked fans to stop the negativity and pull together and get behind the fans. When asked about formations, Spearing said he preferred the midfield diamond we played against B'pool. What I took from the q&a was that we have so far taken this league and some sides too lightly, both admitted a certain degree of arrogance and perhaps believing they are better than they are. Only time will tell, but for as awful and depressing as Saturday was, perhaps that game has served as a severe wake up call for the players. As Jay said, every game now is a cup final game....
January 21, 201412 yr Thanking you Fair play to the players & those there but especially Spearing for this: Spearing who calmly, but firmly told the man he was out of order, not for his opinion, but for the manner he had put it across.
January 21, 201412 yr But that's the problem - continuing onlyonewalker earlier. The players talk a good game, all of them (not picking on these two), but it doesn't appear on the pitch. I don't read any of the bollox coming from the players & DF any more ........ not till they play and show some passion & fight anyway.
January 21, 201412 yr but they also mentioned about 'rebellious' players in the squad. They named no names, but its clear there are some divisions there. Interesting... I'd have had ZK as one of those rebellious players (ie. not giving their all). The fact that "they" said there are rebellious players suggests that he's not... Let the speculation begin.
