tylswhite Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Wait until he starts hacking down all sorts in the penalty area, they will soon go off him. I see he already gave one penalty away last week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZiggyStardust Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I work with a Rovers fan who goes homes and some aways, he will confirm Baptiste's playing very well and their fans have taken to him. He's been played in his best position and hasn't been asked to play left back yet. Freedman's handling of a player he'd presumably sought after for one or two specific positions, was diabolical What does he think of Kevin Davies ? Some players just fit at a particular club, whilst at others fail miserably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diego Forlan was a big joke at manyoo. Turned out to be one of the top players of his generation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waffer cup 07 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 He doesn't want to come back. Thank god for that. What makes him think we would want him back. The clue's in a season long loan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jules_darby Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Not another totally mismanaged by Freedman?Not according to Mrs Freedman Apparently Douglas was right to play him left back (and then I assume to hang him out to dry) and it's all his fault for moaning That is right to play him LB ahead of his much coveted husband's current choice of LB Who we would assume is even worse than Baptiste.... Yet that's still not DF's fault The ongoing Dougie Defenders are really pushing the boat out now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet that's still not DF's fault The ongoing Dougie Defenders are really pushing the boat out now His flaws at left back didn't make him give away those penalties though, he was a liability not through poor play but through making stupid decisions. Not sure playing him at cb or rb would make him less liable to the rash challenge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure playing him at cb or rb would make him less liable to the rash challenge. He was Blackpool's best player in the Prem, The fans were pissed off to lose him. Freedman signed him and clearly wanted him as a key player. 12 months on, the player is happy (relieved?) to be out. Whether from a previous regime or his own, he seems to fall out with players and rarely (ever?) improves them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COYW Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 He was Blackpool's best player in the Prem, The fans were pissed off to lose him. He was their best player when he played at centre half. He obviously thinks it's his best position as well. There's a lesson there somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter only1swanny Posted August 28, 2014 Site Supporter Share Posted August 28, 2014 Good luck to him.. we haven't had many players over the last 4/5 years that have gone onto better things having left us (excluding loanees).

Site Supporter only1swanny Posted August 28, 2014 Site Supporter Share Posted August 28, 2014 Clearly reading isn't a strong point.. I said last 4/5 years... most of the west ham squad ( Bar Jussi ) went long before that. Cahill is an exception, as is Alonso.. We really scuppered Sordells career path from being a up and coming young player to a "sell for whatever we can get), although it could be argued he managed that himself Ricketts and Al Habsi joined us as Premiership level players and are now playing in the Championship, we've had loads come in and bombed.. which speaks volumes about the management Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
