I thought I was the eternal pessimist on here Jules lol, but SB is the absolute leader there no doubt. He could teach us all a thing or three couldnt he!!.
them were the days. Stephen Dawson in midfield tearing it up n all
As tha sez, it's always bin same. 11/12 season was Crynes decision to go early with FFP then put Robins on gardening leave. Hill and Flicker appointed, a host of league 2 players signed, the likes of Jason Shackell and Paul Mcshane wo in our defence the previous season to be replaced by Jim McNulty and Rob Edwards.
The writing was definitely on the wall
Thoughts ........
We didn’t have a forward line.
Or should that be - we didn’t have the right mix of a forward line.
Consequently Chaplin was made to look a poor player - he’s NOT a target man - and he’s NOT a wide player.
As with all our strikers - they are equipped to play alongside a target man.
We have a good defence.
We have a good midfield.
We don’t have a forward line - because all the strikers are of a similar type. If we don’t sort this out then there is a risk of relegation.
As for the rest of the players:
James - is a player that the team has been crying out for for a long long time - an experienced midfielder.
Mads - another mistake another goal conceded.
Mowatt - that goal - WOW!!! - we all know he has this in his locker - so why isn’t he showing this regularly !?!?!
Subbed and I can see him spending more time on the bench as the midfield gets stronger.
Walton - 3 (not 2 as what was reported) world class saves that kept us in the game - as the strikers failed again to make an impact.
The good days and players to enjoy are soon forgotten it seems
promotions, cup runs, Millennium Stadium, three Wembley appearances, an FA Cup Semi Final, Hourihane, Hammill, Stones,Pinnock
As I said it is irrelevant to this season what happened under Cryne. Time to let go and look forward to the joys to come under Conway (arseoyle)
