Whilst the midfield is the worst affected , we are struggling all over the pitch and having to fill the bench with U23’s with no first team experience, any delay will at least give our midfielders , all of which looked knackered against Luton an opportunity to get some well deserved rest, as well as time to bring back some of our loanees. I know they’re not first team ready but will at least be better than the U23’s bench sitting at present. Tin man made this point recently.
Shut the entire football schedule down for the whole month of January and hopefully by that time the figures may have come down to a level where it can restart. The possibility of matches being cancelled due to weather is high and we have talked at length about implementing a winter break so perhaps it's time is now. How could the virus affect transfer dealings in this window?
Unless it’s some of the current midfielders who’ve tested positive. Some of the ones catching it are struggling to get full fitness for a while now.
You say that as if I am the only person believing this does not add up, perhaps had the club been more open an honest from day one so many people would not agree with me, interviewers have had to prise this information out of Holden from day one of the season until now.
Add up? Do you think Walsh and Williams have eloped? They are injured, they both have had set backs. I don’t know why you think the club are settling out to trick you. It’s a piss off yeah but that’s life players get injured. Some return quickly some have set backs just bad luck it’s happening to two players at the same time.
So why did you launch into them for appointing a manager who had actual managerial experience (albeit limited and at a lower level), but aren’t launching into them for appointing DH, who has ZERO management experience? And you say I make it up as I go along. I guarentee if LJ had presided over the dross this season, you would be calling for his head again. Also, I’m sure you have used the “everyone has injuries, and we are no different” argument against LJ in the past when others have used that to defend LJ, yet you jump on this stance now it’s not LJ in charge. You do like a double standard Redprintt
Oh god yeah, he would have named every club with injuries.................Double standards, what RP? .................never RP is top dog for comments fitting the argument to suit....
'Double' Titch and Quackers you're joined at the hip and as daft as one another. Open your eyes, rewriting tripe to fit your stories is pathetic. Ps - Supcon you're late giving Quackers a 'like'. Pps Happy New Year
Nepotism makes a person a bad player and a bad coach = Daft and pathetic.... It's been fun...Happy New year to you too!!
I don’t give a flying fk about Nepotism. Our entire royal constitution is based on Nepotism. What I DO care about is the club I support. I want to see us playing at the highest level, but more than that I do NOT ever EVER want to see us in League 1 again. If we get relegated just to appease some loud people who don’t like Nepotism then I’m really not aligned to a significant minority of our fan base.
Ol' leapy Lee continues splitting us fans down the middle again, he has gone and he is laughing his bollocks off at us, he don't care a button, he has moved on and has feathered his own nest, just like he did when he dropped Oldham and Barnsley, all be it he was sacked by us for failure, DH is our head coach and deseves all the support we can give him, he was loyal to LJ and has never bad mouthed him, with the baggage he has inherited he has done no worse or better than LJ. Times are tough, conditions are choking all of us, we've just got to see it through, we sacked one for failure, for broken promises and false dawns, lets us at least give DH a chance but don't crucify him for divisions created by LJ and his time in charge.
No I think they are in a galaxy far far away. We know specifically every injury to every player, we even know that several had operations. What specifically are the injuries to these two?
Wiz, I like you and all you do for this site, but I’m sorry, once again you’re spouting utter $hite! DH is doing much worse in terms of performance, and now league position than LJ ever did at this stage of a season. I, along with pretty much everyone else at the time said LJ wasn’t experienced enough to get a shot at managing City, but the haters took that to a new level, and the rest of us who weren’t blinded by hate saw it more evenly. The whole point of removing LJ was to progress, which we haven’t, all the hater said we would be better off without him, and we are not. So as R&W said, so many of you wanted LJ gone that I honestly think you’d rather we struggled to stay in the top half of the table, or worse with a new manager, than continue to be pressing for the play-offs under LJ. That to me is crazy, just because you don’t like that LJ was picked to play for City by his dad, which is ultimately where all this stemmed from. Very sad really that we have so many bigoted ‘fans’ in this forum...
The performance has not changed one IOTA, it's the same **** different day different manager. The only difference is LJ managed that performance level for 2 years. Maybe Holden has reversed groundhog day, instead of a great first half to the season and crap 2nd half to the season, we are going to have a crap start to the season and a great 2nd half of the season, we are already unbeaten in 2021. In all seriousness the bottom and top of our spine is strong, it's the important bit in the middle that stops the whole body wobbling around uncontrollably that is and always has been the problem for 4 years, the bit that protects the bottom of the spine and provides for the top of the spine. I have given up all expectation of seeing either Walsh or Williams this season, certainly the important bit that will define where we finish, as usual we seem to have decided to go for the cheap option in January by recalling loans several of whom were not getting regular football in the lower leagues. Without a Bannanesque midfielder we are in danger of dropping like stone. We are still being spoon fed BS from the club, I thought Diedhiou was very close to signing a new contract 6 weeks ago (maybe the reason he is on the bench despite scoring 2 recently), it looks like he is on his way, Walsh's contract is up in June (as pointed out by Gregor Mcboatface) along with 7 other players luckily nearly all of them won't be missed in my eyes.
You're quite a reasonable chap yourself but you are so blinded in your support for LJ you don't come across as so balanced as you are kidding yourself, I'm not a hater as you continue to insinuate, I don't consider I spout utter ****e as you contiually accuse everybody that has a different viewpoint to you, I'm not even going to self explain my self to someone who is so biased as you continually, so move on mate, I have never been an LJ fan correct, I disliked his light weight approach as a player, as a head coach overall he achieved zilch,, the best thing this club ever did was blow him out, on and off the field DH is no worse than LJ, in fact he is a better man, he has suffered far harsher consequences in life, you never hear him blaming players, moaning about long grass, declaring his great love affair for the club, he is a solid, mature human being, he just gets on with the job, quietly and as I have said I have never,ever heard him bad mouth LJ once, no warbling on with false waffle, false promises and then disappearing and let someone else answer the press when times are hard, the other side of the coin is he is on a short term contract of 12 months, if he is not good enough he will be gone, quite rightly, I never supported signing DH but he was chosen and I think he warrants the same back up from the club LJ had and wasted. As I have said before, we all have an opinion, that is mine, I've alway expressed it, if people don't like it, tough.
You are 100% correct the irony is that, it seems that people who were never convinced by LJ are haters but it would appear to ok to be a hater of let's say Pulis or Osman or Cotterill and several others.
Context. The team when Lee Johnson was sacked was 12th. His team was going backwards. His average league placing twelfth. Not good enough if promotion was the sole aim. In four years he had not put into place his goal of a playing identity running throughout the club. Fans in general could not explain how Lee Johnson played his football. Its fair to say that many fans found BCFC uninspiring and boring to watch. You placed a cheeky unfair caveat in your post at this stage of a season. A few weeks ago points wise he was doing better. That goal post can be moved to suit when Mr Holden has been in the role for only months. Its without meaningful context when you omit resources and time v solely points. The whole point of removing LJ was to progress? Could you define what progress is and what its timescale is? Because if its just more points in months or get rid you would sack some of the finest footballing minds in the world.
