That's how I I felt after todays game, started with a good cry when the team was announced, no Wickham up front, Vaughan dropped and Elmo in. The crying got worse when I found out why no Wickham or Vaughan, no bloody luck. We kicked off and I could feel the laughter coming, not to bad, well for a few minutes then would you believe it, crying again with Morrison, that giant striker beating two players, one of them Brown. Those gentle tears then became torrents and we are now 2down, Turner always did have a good turn of speed, or am I getting mixed up. By half time I was at least smiling, the players showed bottle and determination, Bendy had scored and I know, it sounds unbelievable but so had Elmo. By full time I was happy with a draw after the terrible start but unhappy with the draw because WBA are not that good. With Bardo back I would leave Richardson at LB because I dont like OâShea at RB and Turner, for whatever reason, is not up to it, Bardo..Oshea..Brown ..Richardson. In midfield I just am not happy with Catts and Gardner and would prefer Meyler when fit but for now Vaughan and Colback. Bendy shone and will be a very big loss at Arsenal but at least Sess looked like his old self today. Bruce, well Iâm side stepping that one because I think he will be with us for a while whatever we think. They say football is a funny old game, well it was today in bits, tragic in others.
We still have some way to go, but this was more encouraging than Norwich. TBH though, we should have turned West Brom over. They're not having the best of starts and we know they can play from last season's results so this was the time to get them. Good recovery, but still not too great if truth be told.
Just not good enough. Yeah wed have all took a draw at 2-0 down but we simply shouldn't be 2-0 down to west brom. The players showed great character to drag themselves back level but I think once again like stoke we had the perfect team in front of us to do what we did. West Brom simply didn't know wha to do with their lead and any decent side would have beat us, likewise any decent team coming back to 2-2 against wba would have gome on and beaten them.
Hello MrRAW and Shamless, why not Vaughan was because he took ill so could not play and Elmo playing was oh my god but he did end off being one of the better ones. Turner is not match fit and I thought got better during the game. The second goal however was nothing to do with match fitness but all to do with his fantastic pace. It was a freaky ball that put Long in but Turner was never going to out run him. The only comfort, if comfort is the right word, is we at least have two weeks before we suffer again.
A song about a certain manager... [video=youtube;_Om-nZeSBUU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Om-nZeSBUU[/video]
Slight inury in training, we could make the top 4 in the injury in training league, cant remember, hamstring or groin.
Not happy with a point that WBA team was terrible and if we keep leaking goals like that we are in trouble. Surprisingly enough i am not a member of the BoB and i really want Bruce to do well but i do have a few things to say. My Opinions 1. He really needs to look at his Captaincy Catts is a liability and i think he needs to give it to brown, if he can't calm Catts down he needs to get rid. 2. Our diciplinery record is not good and although Catts got slated last season for his early sending offs Bardsley has done exactly the same his stamp on Mata was unforgivable and a heavey fine should have been given to him 3. I am not happy with the GK situation and would rather have a fit gordon back although to be fair to Mig he did play well at Stoke but his ****e games overway his good ones. 4. One of the main problems for me is the lack of players in certain positions two players dropped us in the **** (Bardsley and Bramble) and we were in disarray with no cover. 5. The two positions for me that have not been filled are the L.B and Two Experienced Strikers. these need to be filled in Jan. There are 30 to 40K thousand managers in the SOL and god knows how many more on here so you are always going to get some difference of opinions but i think the majority have set their sights too high too quick. the next move by Elliss Short is going to prove what his ambition for the club will be and im sorry to keep saying it but the likes of Hughes is no better than Bruce. Moyes is not going to come unless he is given megabucks which i don't think we have and for that reason neither will O,Neil To put things in perspective. Look at Blackburn owned by chicken farmers who don't have a clue Fulham players this morning saying they are not happy with M.Jol We still have a good Chairman in Quinn and we still have the players behind Bruce Ill hold my hand up and say if we are in the bottom 3 at xmas then his time is up
Can't believe we dropped Vaughan for Cattermole. It was a bad decision. Vaughan and Gardner really suit each other and play off of each other really well. To break up their partnership is bad management. PLEASE don't play Vaughan and Colback, however. Turner is a good defender. Can't really blame him too much for their second goal. And not many defenders could have got back goal side of Long. I'm glad he's back and looking fit. You don't like O'Shea a right back but you like Richardson at left back? O'Shea is a class act. Richardson is appaling. Absolutely appaling.
Would not mind a good old Sunday argument mitch but cant find a thing to argue about in that, well maybe the bit about all the managers, we all know its me.
Mitch - what makes you think Moyes will want megabucks. You keep saying this. But Moyes is hardly used to megabucks, is he? I think you're right that O'Neill probably would be expensive to run. But Moyes?
