    The thing I can't understand about Hughes, is, when Cook was having a bit of a leanspell, he dropped him from the team for about 5/6 matches, why doesn't this happen to, Smallwood, Costello, Walker etc, Cook certainly benefitted from it perhaps it will work the same magic on our lack lustre midfield

    all i could suggest is he doesn't think the bench is of good enough quality..

    personally i would swap at least walker, man looked shattered yesterday

    I don’t have the stats but can believe Walker is producing much more since returning to the first team. 2 goals and 0 assists for Walker? Chapman got the assist against Colchester and is that it?

    I’m not saying Chapman is the answer just making the point that if Hughes doesn’t fancy him then why not put someone else on the bench who he will use.

    The overarching issue for me is that we have a big squad and yet rotate the first team very little and use the bench poorly (ie making changes very late in the game)

    nee naw nee naw here’s the woke brigade.

    ever heard of free speech? Or are you part of the cancel culture society.

    if you don’t like something someone posts, just ignore it, block them or just don’t come on here.

    serious question - is there anyone at all on this forum who you don’t randomly pick an argument with?

    Why on earth would you take such deep offence at a post about a serial WUM??

    A forum usually consists of balanced, reasoned arguments and discussions. Most of your posts border on anger and insults. Maybe you need an anger management course? You seem angry and frustrated. There’s people out there you can talk to you know :thumbup:

    Serial WUM or not, why does it bother you? Just ignore it.
    The whole problem in society today is that people take offence to such petty things and insist people are cancelled.
    The only thing I’m angry and frustrated about is our piss poor home form and stubborn managerial tactics or am I not allowed to say that.?

    If that is really the case then the 'massive squad quantity but little quality' brigade are being proved right

    Why does SteveC bother you? just ignore it... You sound like the kind of person who takes offence at such petty things.

    Sorry that's me being a WUM, couldn't resist haha

    I have put quite a few WUMs on here on ignore and it has made life on here much easier. its just folk fishing for replies - nothing to do with bcafc matters just looking for a place to wind up.

    As Limmy says BAMO (Block And Move On!) wish I did it sooner! :rolleyes:

    I know you are saying you are being a WUM but to WUM the WUM makes me laugh, thats good in my book ;)

    Well that's certainly a new level of criticism. Maybe we can suggest they practice it instead of set pieces on a Friday?

    He can do what he wants, he’s got “Loyal” in front of his name. That’s what narcissists do isn’t it?

    You mean better set pieces than Cookies first on Saturday?Only asking!

    Agree though, that Banks’s attempt at Newport was it was absolutely lousy. Didn’t even force the keeper to make a save.

    liked the comment, but we did actually score from one on Saturday! And from a corner against Colchester. That's 2 this season!

    In my defence I was at a family wedding on Saturday and couldn't go. I'll pay more attention to set pieces on Tuesday :grinning:

    And Tranmere, Doncaster, Walsall and probably a few more I've forgotten.

    We've certainly not been overly poor from them this term but the 2 central defenders probably need to start chipping in.

    That’s more accurate, Platty hit a post against Colchester and Stubbs was unlucky not to score from a shot against Newport I think. We soon forget what’s gone , we have had a few as you suggest Dave.
