But in good news, I am 4 games into an 8 game accumulator to go with another 8 game accumulator and 6 game accumulator that have come up in the past 10 days, so happy days for me.
According to the post from ROD earlier in this thread, HNM wasn’t injured for the whole period, rather he was dropped? Right now, it doesn’t matter who plays, there is no cohesion or plan to our play. Too many player and formation changes from game to game. Before everyone starts bleating on about no money to spend, look at Luton, Blackpool and Coventry, all spent less than us and are up much higher in the league table.
That’s bollocks regarding Massengo. IMO Can get injured any time, first half, second half.. makes no difference.. play your best starting 11 and if they get tired, then bring them off.. how do our players become consistent, when the manager is inconsistent? Tactics & team selection was all wrong.. that’s the only thing that’s becoming consistent again IMO. And LJ was accused of being streaky. NP needs to get back to the drawing board, as that was worrying and without a plan B I believe will get worse..
That was absolutely shocking -we are in free fall and I’m not sure if NP is going to hang around. SL got some big decisions ahead in January if he is still here. There are players in a red shirt that don’t deserve it.
This has been coming for a long time. We are dreadful. I can't see a decent Championship 11 from the squad we have. Reminds me of the games at the end of last season just throwing kids in who aren't ready. No surprise to me we're in free fall.
managed to hear the last 16 mins [ Graham scored as I switched on ] and how sad was that performance ... commentators didnt have 1 good word to say and I think only shot was xtra time +2-3 mins. WE could be 19th tomorrow [ might even be 20th on points gained!!!] .......... MASSENGO NEVER STARTED !!!! .. W t f ...... played half the game almost so why not start and sub at 55-60 mins! what gives with Martin? a crazy mixed up BCFC at the moment desperate times ... very desperate times how long will it last!!!!!
I find that very difficult to believe about HNM. Luton brought in 11 players and some of them on big bucks. Blackpool have brought in 17 players. They are not playing for nowt. Coventry have brought in 11 players again some of them on big bucks. I suspect when you add the wages up probably not a lot difference in overall spend.
Not bollocks, he is still a kid and our most valuable asset but you would risk him? ok. I am assuming you must know the exact nature of the injury that kept him out for over a month? Never mind LJ is on a streak as we speak, no wins in the last 4 league games, shipped 8 goals in the last 2, but still in the carabao cup though, might be available soon.
What rubbish, Have I ever said I want LJ back.. I don't even know how Sunderland are even doing, you obviously do.. you must follow his every move,, is that what you call man love?? Massengo is not a kid, that’s bollocks. If he’s not fit, why did he play v Barnsley and come on the 2nd half? Why’s he even on the bench if not fully recovered? Most valuable asset not being played when we struggle to create at the best of times? That is utter nonsense
HINDSIGHT ...DH backed up by S&D on losing streak [ always seem to get one about this time of the year but then recover? ] ... we were 8th then lost 6 on trot ... DH out ... S&D 2 wins next 2 were winnable ! ..... enter NP ..... enter CF .....
FFS this is not down to LJ he failed and was sacked, DH failed and sacked, we have now got Nige, he inherited the problems with knowledge, he has to deal with it, LJ and DH are failed history, time has moved on, failure now is the fault of the current incumbent, he is our gaffer, he is the guy we are willing to succeed. If it's LJ or DH you are concerned about follow Sunderland or Stoke, their days with us are long gone, they don't belong, good luck to them and even better fortune to Nige and Bristol City FC for **** sake we need it.
Possibly-think it depends on what SL and NP have lined up going forward. That side needs four-five replacement players in it.
Possibly, I think new players always help, but ultimately they have to be managed and coached better. So far I have not seen any improvement in any of the players (maybe HNM), in fact many have gone backwards. A lot of criticism was levelled at a former manager for not coaching people like Fammy properly, which was fair. But, that same criticism has to be levelled at NP, he has vast experience so should be getting better out if these players than he is.
We have too many players that aren’t championship standard, Vyner , Bakinson, Palmer to name 3. Two of our back line were player at a lower level last year, I struggle to see how we’re going to manage unless somehow some quality is brought in soon.
I’m beginning to wonder if the problem is Nige is used to working with better players, maybe it’s a different mindset to having to try and convince poor players that they are better than they are.
They were good enough to land us a top half finish in consecutive seasons under Johnson - just missing out on the playoffs - and he was sacked for ‘failing’. Now NP can’t get a tune from them people feel sorry for poor old Nigel and blame the same players and the regime that signed them?!!! One thing is very clear - Sparkey was right, we are ****.
Change the record, we’ve explained umpteen times the difference, you just don’t want to/ or can’t get it into your head.
