How Long?

Do we give Dougie? I am a big fan and I can't see us getting anyone better,but if there is no sign of his "plan"it's time to take a gamble on someone else.

i missed saturday

 

daughter bear says its perhaps as well

 

i didn't do crewe either but dearden told me feeney played on the left at crewe and crossed for pratleys goal?

 

as in, saturday wasn't some random thing

That cross at Crewe was the only thing he has done in 180 minutes on the left.

 

Last night showed he's a decent player on the right. He's a one trick pony and should be played to his strengths.

 

Just another example of DF now maximising what he is working with IMO.

sorry, the thread had deviated...shit mods

 

should finish?

 

10th

 

i'm hoping for 6th

That's where Iam at, Iam Looking at top 10 at Christmas and then anything is possible.

 

Another simple question and again it's an opinion do you think Freedman is the man to get us in that position?

If your playing one of our wingers on the left it has to be chungy as he rarely goes down the line and swings a cross in anyway. He is more likely to play a killer pass or try and take the man on with skill so which side he plays on wouldn't really affect him as much imo.

fcuk knows, harold

 

fcuk knows

 

but go on, yes

 

based on the fact we have been finishing better than we start, yes

fair enough

 

and, i agree

 

i have no problem with one trick ponies, either btw

we talking games or last season?

Wage bill has been reduced massively so the replacements had to come from somewhere and also be cheaper alternatives than players that left.

 

Most clubs in the Championship are in that position though, although apparently not many could afford what we were prepared to pay Baptiste.

out of interest, what do we think that was

 

see, i know what we were paying mears and no way did baptiste get offered more

Most clubs in the Championship are in that position though, although apparently not many could afford what we were prepared to pay Baptiste.

Nowhere near the same scale of reduction that we have had to do though. Its very difficult to build a team while trying to cut so much off the wage bill imo.

 

Baptiste did get decent pay but we didn't pay any fee so that was always going to happen.

 

Also having a team already together on a smaller budget is one thing but having a squad like we had filled full of high earning shit that nobody will take off us suffocates the rest of the squad.

 

Once we have bottomed out and our high earners are actually the best performers again and we can start building around them we will rise imo.

 

P.S Im not defending Dougie here because I think he has done a poor job with the players he has got.

Casino stop quoting COYW ffs

 

he's as bad as snoop.

Also having a team already together on a smaller budget is one thing but having a squad like we had filled full of high earning shit that nobody will take off us suffocates the rest of the squad.

 

They were good enough to finish 7th and then he added to the squad over the summer. The start we got off to wasn't down to having to offload anyone. I'd be prepared to accept that they weren't his first choice players if he hadn't also offloaded players he signed.

That's the cut and thrust of it Tylds.

 

He's had more than enough at his disposal to put in a better return than he has.

 

As COYW rightly points out numerous times he took a team pushing for the play offs to our worst run in living memory in the space of a few weeks.

 

Things have got worse and worse as times gone on with not one sign of improvement.

 

We go round in circles here on a daily basis,but I'm pretty sure nobody involved with BWFC are impressed with the shite we see on a weekly basis.

 

You only have to speak to people in and around the ground to sense the mood of depression.

 

Theres No point cock waving over a win against Rotherham that we could have quite easily lost,the problems are still there,and that problem is the management wether you like it or not.

dawson coming saw us get better

 

dawson leaving saw us get worse

dawson coming saw us get better

Give over you crack head.

 

Your blaming our most catastrophic half of season in living memory on the fact we lost Craig Dawson?

 

Bloody hell you tire me out.

 

He had all summer to organise a defence.

 

Same goes for this season too.

 

There's always an excuse.

 

I just don't get it. Nobody is enjoying this. Plus nobody is making it up either.

 

It's been dreadful,is dreadful and will carry on being dreadful until a change is made.

everybody can have an opinion

 

mine differs from yours

 

no problem with that

 

its when folk quote facts that people can be pulled apart

 

you reckon we've more money than all but a couple in this league

 

its utter bullshit

 

so, i don't really know why i humour you

 

unless it passes the days for me :)

Where did I say couple?

 

Pulled apart? You've come back with a cobbled together list of transfer fee's off a bullshit website and included which bits you wanted to.

 

Our wage bill is higher than most of this division. That is fact.

 

If we were so skint,how could afford to bring in Baptiste,Spearing,mills and the likes all on extremely healthy wages for this division?

 

If your singling out this seasons expenditure and this season alone,yes that has taken a massive downturn. But my overall opinion of Dougie Freedman isn't just based on him not having much money to spend this summer. It's based on full season of shite last season and 5 weeks of utter garbage this.

 

You carry on fighting your losing battle mate,in your consistently condescending manor.

 

Casino knows best after all.

 

Folk should remember that.

so is this true or not

 

 

 

We have no less money than everyone else bar 4-5 clubs.

 

bearing in mind 6 clubs still have parachute money

I'm not sure it is now

agreed

 

i do think we probably have some of the highest earners in the league, though?

 

i suspect bogdan, mills, pratley, spearing, lee and a few more wont be with us next season

so is this true or not

Maybe I should rephrase.

 

Freedman has had as much money at his disposal during his tenure than all but 4-5 clubs in this division.

 

This summer no. During his stay yes.

 

You seem to he forgetting last season ever happened.

 

He was allowed to bring in players on high wages,most of those players are still in the squad and he's still yet to get them to perform to any kind of standard.

 

The rest of the division hasn't all of Sudden overtaken us this season due to a higher spending power.

 

We've been on a decline since from a time where he had money,he no good with it no good without it.

 

If you want to start comparing budgets have a look at crewe's or Bury's or sheff weds or any of the other lesser clubs from last season finance wise that have totally outplayed us.

Just sack the shit cunt

Did Freedman really spend £2m on Mills? I had in mind he was a Coyle signing, albeit one of his better ones eventually. And Mills got dogs abuse early days so has Freedman improved him?

This is getting boring now
