RONNIE PHILLIPS Posted February 8, 2019 Posted February 8, 2019 At this moment in time our ambition is to survive as a football club....what other ambition do you think we should have?

We realised our 3 new strikers had even less goal threat between them than Wilbraham, Armstrong, Clough and Walker 3 We discovered that Morais is miles better than Wildschut.
DomRepWanderer Posted February 8, 2019 Posted February 8, 2019 Given a run of games with the same starting eleven this squad is far superior than last seasons, however keep chopping and changing for the sake of it means there's no continuity, even numpties must see that.

Boyd, Tomlin, Marriott, Assombalonga, Gayle, Mackail-Smith before he went to Brighton - it shows how dreadful we've been when a mid table Div 1 club has 6 better strikers just off top of my head than some we had in the Prem (I'm talking N'Gog, Sordell, Rasiak etc not the exceptions like Klasnic & Davies) and definitely better than anything we've managed in the championship years. For what its worth, all those boring sides have at least had 6 trips to Wembley between them in the last 4 years! And all were won except Bradford's 2 visits. Guess the big mystery for me is why we have had a one up target man style of play for as long as I can remember, but we never have a youth or u23s player who you would class as such. In fact both u23s and u18s play on the ground build it up from the back style football, so it must come as a culture shock when they train with the first team.

I suspect that to be just a general consequence of how the academy system is set up in this country rather than anything deliberate on the club’s part.
MalcolmW Posted February 8, 2019 Posted February 8, 2019 It's the lack of goals which limits our points potential. And the lack of chances to score does not help. Neither does the lack of possession.
birch-chorley Posted February 8, 2019 Posted February 8, 2019 From what I’m led to believe from friends who have had lads in academy’s they do look to fit particular playing styles I.e Man City training them like Barcelona It would make sense for us to try and bring through a target man if that’s the style our first team will be sticking with

Not according to Zorc at Dortmund who said in the paper today that English youngster are 'miles' ahead of their German counterparts. Maybe it's just Prem team eh

Where do the likes of Madine, Wilkinson, Eaves, Hanson, Wilbraham, Matt Smith play when they are 18 or 19? Do they get a kick while their coach preaches pass and move? Then they get to 22/23 and Megson, Parky, Warnock etc are queuing up.
Burndens Bogs Posted February 8, 2019 Posted February 8, 2019 Dunno, probably the school of negativity

Dr Faustus Posted February 9, 2019 Posted February 9, 2019 Who remembers that young Chesterfield lad scoring a hat trick at Burnden? Sure he was a winger As a side, the younger age groups are playing futsal too now in order you develop technically
Mounts Kipper Posted February 9, 2019 Posted February 9, 2019 (edited) Bonnar intimated on Twitter that bid was floundering said that there would be news on Basran bid in today’s news, in today’s news PP intimating new owners might be present, nothing about the Basran bid in paper. Bonnars a cunt. Edited February 9, 2019 by Mounts Kipper
