prem this time last season we were on our way to safety ( inactual fact were never never really in danger of going down after the short burst of victories that gave us breathing space before the end of Feb )
There was a whole crusade of people calling for a change I was nt really one of them. BUT the basis of their crusade was we needed someone to get the new season off to a good start and not finish up2011/2012 like 2010/11. WE started bad and made the right move new manager, ( the cries for blood being answered) and whilst I stand by conviction of, like quite a few, "OK so if we go into Div 1 and re build so be it" certain criteria change and so does opinions with it.
Had we just mosied along in the bottom 2 picking up the odd points as we went, losing by the odd goal but seeing a progression toward a better future then div 1 would have been the bitter pill to swallow.
WHAT HAPPENED WAS we strung a few good results together, and the other teams around us played crap and were out of it, MAKE NO BONES ABOUT IT now though, on paper we are again in the bottom 3 but more closely attached to the teams around us point wise, and result wise playing the worst games of the last 5 years.
WE ARE -27 YES THATS RIGHT MINUS TWENTY SEVEN GOALS COMPARED TO GOALS SCORED THAT IS ONLY 1 GOAL LESS THAN WE SCORED THAT IS DISGUSTING
3-0 WOW HOW MANY TEAMS CAN BOAST THEY HAVE CONCEEDED 3-0 AS MANY AS WE HAVE
I have been very patient in the past few seasons in giving support to BCFC AND THE MANAGEMENT STRUCTURE from owner downwards. I dont think the board need to be or will be changed but I have considerable reservations about the manager and the team at this moment in time. If look at and compare some of the team selections and substitutions we have seen similar before......WOW WE PLAY WELL FOR ABOUT 15 MINS OR SO and lose 3-0 fantastic . Often I have said ( as do other pundits)on here get 2 goals and the oppo has little chance, indeed get 2 goals and be happy to defend ..

FOR THOSE THAT SAY THE MANGER IS NOT TO BLAME WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE HE PICKS THE TEAM THE PLAYERS AND THE WAY WE PLAY, THE PLAYERS WHETHER GOOD OR BAD PERFORM TO HOW THEY ARE TOLD TOO MAKES THE SUBS AND CALLS THE SHOTS 4-4-2 3-4-3 3-5-2 OR WHATEVER........
