It's a mad league. Last season we lost 13 from 46. We've already lost 10 from 25 yet here we are on the same points as this time last season. Weird innit?
Yeah Agree. Contractual requirements methinks They are trying to make him into his brother but he's not him
But they aren't. And others who are better are on the bench mate. That's the bloody point. Not to mention persistent overuse of loan players who we have contractually agreed to play that are not good enough. Either or. Be the same till the end of the season. Mostly fart no ****e. Hope some of the younger players progress. And I'll take a play off place right now. But guess it will be 10-12th. Genuinely no arsey post , just my thoughts.
Pretty sure he was a box to box player at Le Havre. We have played him in I think 6 different positions so no wonder the lad has found no confidence or consistency.
The club need to work out his best position and play him there. He's been played as a 6, a 10, a striker and a winger. Rarely has he had a run of games in one position. Having said that, he's played about 1 good game all season
An 8 i think mate, Ba's biggest issue has always been what position gets the best out of him. I watvhed him a few times for france before we even signed him and he played lots of different positions for them. Best game i ever saw him was as a right wingback in a 352 formation
Im not bothered about other teams. Personally i find it concerning that were coming into Jan with 4 strikers without a goal between them and its now got to the situation an 18 year old kid is playing upfront ahead of any of them. Im also concerned we sacked a manger, granted not the best but a manager the players had a bond with, majority of fans took to and we sacked him to bring in Beale who is far less experienced and we're now arguably playing worse than we were before with yet again no strikers still, no new tactics and no extra passion from our players??
Sorry mate, it's not the point, it's your opinion. Other people's opinions are just as valid, none more than the coach's.
I thought he was described as an attacking midfielder, could be wrong though. Hes only a kid as well isn't he 19?
I know we are all disappointed with the result and to be honest the last couple of weeks. I am no head coach but all I will say as soon as we seem to increase the tempo we look a different team. Now someone who has coached/played at a far higher level than me might tell me how hard it is to change in mid game but it is clear to see. They were the type of team we have continually struggled with (in League 1 and the Championship), big, rough very direct etc. I do feel sorry for Jack Clarke who has to carry everything going forward at the moment. I also think the Roberts injury did upset any early rhythm (but not an overall excuse)
20 but yeah, doesn't deserve some of the stuff that is being said about him at all. Has been messed around, mistreated and misused since the minute he got here. A lot like most of our other foreign signings.
Beale will need time mate, the Christmas period is impossible for him to get ideas across. There just isnt the time.
The striker issue is a worry, but 3 of them are miles away from being ready (and the 4th cannot get on the pitch). The biggest worry is that an injury to Clarke absolutely ****s us. I've no real concerns about the Head Coach and the supposed bond - footballers are notoriously fickle, most of them will have forgotten Mowbray's first name by the New Year. It's way, way too early to judge Beale. Mowbray's start wasn't exactly thrilling
