Fair point, but there have been articles in germany re:borner, moses has been a bruce player and again in paper. Doesnt mean true ofcourse. I meant ive only seen the bidwell link on here, did it originate elsewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess how many runs he makes without receiving the ball? It got to the point one match when we thought Bannan was refusing to pass to him out of spite as MM had not tracked his man back which led to a goal. Think it's more about not wanting to be giving the ball away needless. If all your striker does if miss the target you tend to take a different approach.

Be usual scrabble around in the bargain bins once the season has started to cobble together a squad. Wonder why we start most seasons badly with out of shape players who then become perpetual injury burdens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose a lot comes down to where you sit in the ground. If I'm ever at pitch level I have not got a clue what is going on tactically. I don't understand why this is as when I played (even at my low standard) I could soon suss what was going off. When I'm high up in the North it's pretty simple to work out what we and the opposition are doing or trying to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does mean any new/potential new signing can't train with us as a "trialist". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the North you probably get a better view of where Marco was going than I do on the Kop...It just seemed oft times he thought..."Off I go" I didn't mind him as a player...but we need better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If all your striker does if miss the target you tend to take a different approach. That's the thing mate, the runs he made would have left him often one v one against the centre back or in on the 'keeper. I don't think anyone would refuse that pass if they saw it. That said I swear blind Reach refused a simple 15 yard ball to Rhodes one game. Rhodes would have been clean through but Reach looked up, saw it was Rhodes, went to pass but then stopped and played it sideways. Reach had earlier tried a similar ball three times to Rhodes but Rhodes had either been twice out paced when he was favourite with a start on the centre back or once when he just fell over trying to control the ball.

So you seen it yourself. Players will refuse the ball if they feel it's a waste of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The embargo was pending type thing based on there findings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
