Illes has tweeted that the team is selected 3 weeks prior to the match.
 
I know Freedman has said he picks his teams based on the strengths of the opposition but 3 weeks before hand!  Its no wonder some of his decisions are baffling.  How can form be taken into consideration?

Questionable to say the least

What is ? My comment ? Or the managers lack of knowledge ?

We have a small squad, with the injuries we have, etc, so rotating is to be expected, I'm bored of getting beaten each week too, but to all who want dougie out, realistically, who can we bring in? We're near the bottom of the league, small squad, no money to spend. Who's that going to attract?

 

Maybe we should get behind the team more , even though it's shit, show support as that's what we are supporters and a bit less criticism on match days?

Let the players pick themselves they couldn't do much worse.

Just seen the following tweet from Phil Gartside

 

"In Scott's with Dougie. Picked the team to face Bournemouth whilst downing Jagerbombs."

well it were Wigan at home and Muamba turned up late or something

well it were Wigan at home and Muamba turned up late or something

7 minutes late, due to traffic, wasn't it?

He must have turned up late fcuking regular

Sounds like proper coyle bullshittery to me

kinell,

 

anyone would think it is Sunday league

 

I can imagine Messi not getting back into the team because he was late once..

 

Shows how much of an arse Coyle was..

Or how inaccurate the story is...

 

On this whole 3 weeks thing (and I haven't read the thread entirely), anyone who believes that he picks his team and sticks with that selection 3 weeks in advance needs to re-think their life.

 

He probably plans on playing a team to face certain oppositions, and train with that in mind, but change it if it needs changing. I would bet that a lot of managers do this.

Right ok

 

So freedman focuses his training on a certain aspect of, say Blackpools, play.. They then change their tactics.. and that training has then been wasted..

 

So one week he has one tactic, the next week another, alongside different players..

 

Its no wonder the players don't know what the fecks going on

Whatever the truth is, the facts are that it isn't working. Sir Nat will be turning in his grave.

In 3 weeks we can play a minimum of 3 teams, so from what you are saying they have 3 different tactical situations buzzing around in their tiny brains.

 

No wonder they are confused and don't know what they are doing.

That's not what was said at all...

 

I said, and I quote... "He probably plans on playing a team to face certain oppositions, and train with that in mind"... I never said he tells the players this. And all this is speculation, it might be utter bollocks anyways.

Stick to one training method and focus on that, don't try changing every other. Week because who they play. Never change a winning team, whenever that happens, get back to fuckin basics

Good shout - I'm getting fed up of hearing comments on the concourse at 2.45pm "he's playing that wanker Knight again" , "he's not a fucking clue", why we playing one up front at home too ......."

 

Shout for the fucking team. By all means boo at the final whistle, but I honestly think that one of the reasons people stop coming to the home games is because of the pricks that come to the match to moan, whatever the formation, team, result etc. I thought it was just WSU where my ST, but after the the 2 FA cup ties I had in ESL it's as prominent there.

 

The manager may make strange, even ludicrous decisions in other people's eyes, but we're stuck with him and the squad for the foreseeable future. I can't honestly believe people enjoy coming to the game to moan. It's shit on the pitch at he moment, but fuck it, 90% of all teams in all leagues are like us, the football game experience (to me) is about the day, the morning, anticipation, beers with mates, days out, ninety minutes of football then dissection after.

 

It won't change, whatever, league, manager, team, ground or weather.

 

Seriously thinking of binning he homes next year and just doing aways.

 

Rant over

I too have never understood why some people go to the game week in week out then spend the entire game whingeing and getting angry.

 

If its that bad dont come. Take up golf or something. BWFC clearly isnt for you.

Which however you want to dress it up still brings what I put into play.

THe players must be really up for it and ready to die for the shirt when they're boo'd during a warm up when their name isread out on the public address system. I bet they feel well motivated and pumped to know that their supporters don't believe in them and don't want them there.

(Although we may not be as good as we think we are)

 

I'd sooner we spent training trying to organise how we want to play rather than setting up for the opposition. By all means acknowledge danger men, Ala muamba man marking Gerrard, but how about we give the opposition summat to worry about.

Let the opposition worry about us, oh hang on, we have nobody to fear. Eagles is a fanny along with lee who could be blown off the ball, knight is the worst centre half around so strikers know they have an easy game with him there, our full backs are wank so wide players know they will easily get by and whip over loads of crosses, our midfield is lightweight so the opposition always boss that too and our strikers aree just pure fuckin dogshit that the opposition know if they. Make a fuck up at the back the ball is gonna go high and wide

But apart from that, we're alright yes?
