"I feel as though we have tried different formations and different personnel in the back four and, through injury and through choice, we have picked what we have felt was the best back four for the day" So play fontaine at left back to keep him in the side is your opinion of the best back four is it del You brought in a lad from Liverpool who had great reviews at a promotion chasing team last season and you've kept him out of the team because of fontaine? ****ing clueless. "I'm not going to sit back and watch this every week. I feel we've tried our best to protect the back four, but it is difficult when you lose the goals that we've lost" So why have we been sitting back and watching it for the whole season? you pick the team you do the training so if that's our "best" what the hell are you telling the players to do? Again clueless "January is going to be a big month for us and how active we will be will depend on the next few results" WHAT! are you having a laugh. It will depend on the next few results? jesus Christ what have you been watching all season January should be based on the season so far which has been terrible. If you cant see that I sugest you find a new job. We need Central Defenders and right back and a new CM even if we win the next "few games" we need these players. Again Clueless "I'm looking to bring in a few in January if I can but, for that to happen, a few boys will need to be leaving as well. I'm well aware of the restraints we have, but the owner and the board have always been very supportive" Yeah the few boys that need to leave are mainly the ones you brought in, Morris, Pearson, Mark Wilson others being fontaine and Elliott if he dosent pull his finger out and once again Clueless "We'll never get ourselves away from trouble unless we start dealing with that side of it. A lot has been said about formations over the last few weeks â I agree with a lot of it, I don't agree with most of it â but we still have to defend better" Clueless You're in it for the whole season del so you've got January to save yourself. You're the only man to sort it out so you better
Telling you now shiny the next three games are must win and I mean must win, if these points are not collected we will be to far away to stay up. My opinion jan 2013 will be to late. I also do not think he would save the relagation threat even if he got the players he wants.
The next three games and my predictions... Ipwsich (A) 0 points Watford (H) 0 points Peterborough (H) 0 points We will probably be rock bottom by the time we play Millwall (A) on New Years Day which is another game with 0 points In between there is Blackburn (A) in the FA Cup followed by Leicester (H) 0 points, and then Leeds (A) 0 points.
The problem is Shiny and I keep harping on and on about it is, this divison has been a total shock for Del compared to the Scottish league. Hence the reason he is so out of his depth. The quality of attacking players, quality midfield players & defenders in the championship is totally different, many, not long ago were probably playing in the premiership. I along with many on here agree, you start with the spine of your team, they are the ones that if, you havn't got you get either in the transfer market or on long term loan (plus cover in case of injury)......you then build around them.. Del failed in this department.
"January is going to be a big month for us and how active we will be will depend on the next few results" I think this is relating to who comes in and who leaves the club Could be he is trying the fear factor IMO he needs to keep our best 6 and put all the others on the list
He wants to get people in but has to wheel and deal...... The only player we have who might raise enough to get a few in is Albert. So watch out for Del selling our prize asset and wasting it on more dead wood. Angelic - I think you have the makings of a fine Football Pudit and tipster - spot on with your forecasting there!
So are you saying Elliot should go? It took you about 3 seasons to realise he's not up to scratch! I assume you haven't seen Wilson III play? Weird that he hasn't been selected but we don't see them in training - for all u know he could be carrying a niggle, or he could be unfit.
"January is going to be a big month for us and how active we will be will depend on the next few results" what is this bloke still doing in charge? the next few results? so say we get a fluke win against ipswich like we did at sheffield he will keep the current crap we see on show every week?
you forgot Foster on that list but more than likely this is the list of players that Del would keep and sell the rest
