Sweep Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 I will not watch them again whilst the curent regime are there For clarification, what do you mean by regime? The manager? The chairman? The owner? Do you want all three gone before you return, or just one or two? Either way, I'll bet you're back next season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The manager could leave at some point next season, but I don't see Phil Gartside going anywhere in the near future (at least until Kia take over) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rembrandt Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Let's focus on the positives Threlkeld looks the part polished performer, and Kellett excites me quick and direct not sure he's a full back but the lad could make a top winger. Dredging around there, Mounts, huh. I agree - the young 'uns look the part better than I'd expected. But ................. you know what I could add.

Arnold Jackson Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Indeed. Also, we've thrown 2 kids in, but people still want more. Fuck knows what. Some entertainment Less negative tactics Less defensive midfielders ... 1 preferably Consistent best 11 with consistent game plan as opposed to manager trying to prove what a master tactician he is 2 strikers, especially at home Not to be patronized by manager or told I understand what he's doing when I don't If we have to use loan system, bring in players better than what we have from teams much better than us Far more wins at home! Less defensive substitutions when we are a goal up An apology for one of my worst ever seasons football-wise in nearly 40 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter HomerJay Posted May 4, 2014 Site Supporter Share Posted May 4, 2014 I don't like lee Clark but watching running into the crowd on the final whistle is a great sight. You can't tell me he and them players don't care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Carlos Posted May 4, 2014 Moderators Share Posted May 4, 2014 (edited) Just watched highlights and threlfeld doesn't get anywhere near close enough to stop crosses and shots. This is true but is an overly simplistic observation. He goes wide, a midfielder moves into the massive hole (unless a CB moves over). Ball hoofed in and we've only got 3 defenders in the box, one possibly dragged out of position... Edited May 4, 2014 by Carlos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whites man Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Some entertainment If we have to use loan system, bring in players better than what we have from teams much better than us The loan system is here to stay. The gulf in finances between the Premiership and the other leagues mean the big clubs sign up all the young talent who then have to go elsewhere to get a game.

And that's an over complicated view When one on one, get tighter without committing yourself but basically stop the cross. I have doubt it's probably nerves and he certainly didn't want to get put on his arse, so played cautiously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gulf in finances between the Premiership and the other leagues mean the big clubs sign up all the young talent who then have to go elsewhere to get a game. And herein lies the importance of a good manager. Knowing that half your squad belong to another club must be an utter fucking nightmare. The amount of egos and attitudes a manager has to cope with whilst trying to settle a team is tougher than I imagine anyone realises. So stability is key. If a squad has an established leader at least some continuity exists along with a consistent philosophy. Which is why we have to stick with Dougie.

DaveTheRave Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Maybe it's the way our full backs are told to play. Baptiste has been guilty of it plenty times too. Impressed with Oscar so far though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whites4eva Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 We wernt at our best yesterday and some players just couldn't give a toss. Beckford is a lazy bastard! Can't argue with the result. Does anybody know when the stewards introduced the new 'don't celebrate a goal to much' policy? When we scored our second goal stewards came into the west stand lower telling a number of people not to celebrate the goals too much!! Tossers!

BoltonPro15 Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 I thought Yesturday was a fantastic example of how not to hold on to a lead. Our 2 goals came from when we played our game rather than theirs, then at 2-0 up we let them do what they were trying to do all game (Get the ball in the box). Birmingham offered very little with ball on the ground and I felt we did very well in stopping them from playing how they wanted for 60mins. We obviously got caught up in the occasion and decided to make a line of 9 players on the 6 yard box and it was a matter of time until they scored and equalised. As for the bizzare tactic of passing the ball around from our own 6 yard box, I cant imagine any of our 11 players enjoy that. Defenders so close to their own goal and forwards so far away from play. Bad management IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hughmungus Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Like I've told you all Super Dougie was looking 8 or 9 moves ahead of everyone else but the players tend to think 1 move behind, so it's not his fault and that's why I have confidence that he will sign players who are on the same wavelength this week as promised. In Super Dougie we trust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have doubt it's probably nerves and he certainly didn't want to get put on his arse, so played cautiously. It isn't, it's obvious. It's also coupled with the fact that everyone else could see he wasn't getting tight/going wide. The implication therefore is that he was either doing what he was told or as you say, didn't want to be mugged off. Fucking boo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullie Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Doesn't help when the midfield fail to track players, put any effort into closing down players, am surprised our defence only let two in. Completely unprofessional performance that, and I wasn't staying back to thank the players for that performance and the season as a whole....roll on August where I hope there will be more to celebrate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghana White Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 We were a bit unlucky but I feel like I'm saying that every week. To be honest if you leave that many players back from an attacking free kick you deserve everything you get. Its so negative its depressing. Birmingham City fans some of the loudest I've seen at the Reebok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
