Most liked posts in thread: What we know that Bowyer apparently doesn't

He's absolutely gagging to be offered a deal here. Made the point of Tweeting he had some big cup nights at VP - referencing the same thing Bowyer did in the press - to which none of the current lot seemed to take heed of!

Clarke on a short term contract to the end of the season would make perfect sense unless Bowyer really thinks McCartan is up to it.

I hope Doyle's agent is prostituting him out everywhere before our window shuts. Australia, China, anywhere. Just show them a few clips of his goals from years gone by and hope someone bites the maggot. We need his resource invested elsewhere in this team now, badly. Bugger having a back up striker.

 

Like last January, Clarke will be brought back on deadline day as a last minute panic signing, when all else has failed

 

Your last sentence is interesting. I'm not at that stage yet but i'm yet to be impressed with anything he's done on the pitch so far. Very early days yet but football is a very demanding sport especially from fans with ambition. 12 months from now i do not want to be watching league 2 football, i've watched 2 games so far and it ain't any better than it was last time. Perversely it was pleasure to watch some decent football on Tuesday albeit none of it from us. Struggling to get motivated for tomorrow as it stands.

 

Hope that's not the source of discontent, because Evans is a gambler who has already used 3 different formations in 3 different games.

Short term thinker who needs a ton of money to have a chance.

 

It makes it even better for Evans to achieve 43% over 900 games is remarkable, Especially given Boywer has only achieved just over 29% in his 250,

 

you dont get lucky over a season, thats why its a season and not a knockout competition. Evans also got pretty comprehensively done for exposing himself to a female member of staff at our club a while ago. I know we've had some interesting characters play for us over th eyears but personally I would prefer we avoided hiring weirdo perverts.

 

Yes I understand that, but he has just brought in two creative midfielders and he leaves them sitting on the bench and players the same three that didn’t work every time he plays 433 or diamond. That systems requires creativity in midfield as you have no wingers to get the ball up there. I nearly cried with frustration when I saw the team sheet.

The 442 formation hasn't clouded my opinion, you are right our wins have been lucky, so the question is do we play 443 end up with draws or loses, or go for 442 and keep our fingers crossed? The answer is neither. How about this one, we play our best players in their best positions, if that is 442 then so be it. If he wants to play 443, great go get players who can play in that formation. Our strikers were thoroughly exhausted yesterday, whilst that lazy lump spent 90 minutes on a football field trying to work out what he was supposed to do. He put one pass into Vaughan, and that is all I saw him do.

If the Money has run out and I understand if that is the case, but the powers that be must no that we will be spending more that one season down here! Don’t do half a job! We now have two midfielders who might makes the difference, they looked ok yesterday so we will see. I still think we need a pacy winger, and striker. I would rather see AOC in midfield in order to allow the midfield to operate, bring Paudie back into the back line. That would allow us to change formation during the match if it wasn’t working.

 

I was in the Wireless Pub on North Parade. We just sat and looked at each other, we had no idea why he would go with that yet again! GB is living on a knife edge here, he is showing a level of stubbornness that is beginning to look like complete inflexibility. Why Akpan??? He can’t or won’t do what he wants!! Palmer worked his socks off yesterday, but he is the one that gets hooked, why? The whole of the midfield looked like flaying fish out of water yesterday.

 

Swings and roundabouts.

Play 4-3-3 and Vaughan and Donaldson are the ones to suffer.

Switch to 4-4-2 and it's the midfield that will struggle as none of them are good enough to play as part of a 2. This happened in the first half vs Oldham which was the worst we've played all season.

NO formation to date has worked so it's pointless blaming it on one.

Unfortunately for us Bowyer's recruitment leaves a lot to be desired for as there are major holes in whatever system he opts, including the one that some think is the answer to all of our problems. Let's hope that Cooke and Devitt address these holes or it's going to be a long old season.

 

A top 6 budget - with a bottom 6 performing team ................

C'Mon Stefan, and Gary ....... Let's plug up those many gaps NOW !

 

Right let’s get this sorted now. Anderson a complete waste of time. What does the hell our manger see in him. Akpan another waste. That American full back complete joke. Gibson and Devine not up to it. Ant o’connor slow and crap. Everton poor. Oh I can’t be bothered anymore. So disappointing in both games.
Midfield. ha ha. what midfield. Sort it and quick !!!!!!

 

@Fordy117 knows football

 

We cant afford him

 

Can someone honestly tell me why does Anderson start. Seriously please tell me what he gives to the team. Maybe I’m missing something so please let me know

 

Presence.

 

Whats poor about 2 games unbeaten and looked unlikley to be beaten?
