Is Gary Bowyer a bully ?

Are you on about this thread or fordys car cleaner

 

I thnk you might be on your own on this one Ron. Even fordy doesn’t agree...

 

Straight from a Christmas cracker merry Christmas Ronnie

 

Bully no but I would say this he wants the players to play his way as all managers do and some players then struggle to show what they can do in a different role. I know it's not professional football but when I ran a sunday league team a few years ago we had 2 players one a very good central defender and one cracking midfielder who could spread a ball about for fun, during the season we tried something different with the team and both players struggled for 4/5 games then we went back to the old way and they thrived again. We had another lad who during that period got 4 MOM yet didn't get one before or after that change, as they say football is a funny old game.

 

Interesting article in the T&A this morning, citing the return of injured players to boost Bowyers options over the hectic Christmas period, and it’s a really good point. The manager needs flexibility and depth given the number of fixtures over the next couple of weeks.

For example, he could go with a defensive 532 formation, get men behind the ball and go long to Vaughan or hit the channels for Oteh, relying on opposition mistakes to give us a goal.

Or he could go with a defensive 451 formation, get men behind the ball and go long to Vaughan or hit the channels for Oteh, relying on opposition mistakes to give us a goal.

Or maybe try something new, like a defensive 541 formation, get men behind the ball and go long to Vaughan or hit the channels for Oteh, relying on opposition mistakes to give us a goal.

 

All teams have injuries.

Hate it when clubs use it as an excuse as it boils down to poor recruitment and letting certain players go.

We all knew Anderson and Devine were useless but still get a contract offer.

Having Doyle, Vaughan and Donaldson was always going to be better than loaning Oteh.

One thing Bowyer doesn't need is more tactical options. He confuses himself.

 

In a word...... NO.

End of thread.

 

I don't like the blokes tactics but come on son

 

You say "hate it when clubs use it as an excuse as it boils down to poor recruitment and letting certain players go".

Its not using it as an excuse its a fact
if they weren't injured they'd be playing instead of the players you mention.
The likes of Anderson & Devine were given contracts to fill midfield positions when we had injuries, it was never Bowyers intention for them to be regular starters, dont you underrstand that.

 

I think its more the negative tactics than anything thats got certain backs up Ron, me included. i think Bullying is tied to the likes of Hopkin who rules with fear rather than encouragement. I read a good piece today regarding Klopps style of management,

Its Klopps take on management but it works and work very well.

 

On Ronnie, not seen evidence myself to collaborate such a claim.

On Fordy, sick to f'ing death of reading all the negative, life is full of despair posts. Should rename this site, Fordytalk

 

You do have to ask the question if watching Bradford City is as bad as some make out, (and no its not been great most of the season) why go and put yourself through the agony and then relive the experiance by reminding yourself of the terrible afternoon you just had by posting about it.

 

It's all about context. Our position is decent, football is efficient but the social aspect is still enjoyable in my world. For me, its a game of 4th tier football, bigger priorities in my world. And following a path of negativity each and every day, not for me.
