Journalist - Make things up Media trained - Being vague to a point where no one remembers the question!

So Fox was more important than FF? Absolute testicles and if that’s true then Bullen doesn’t have a gypsy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Snooty Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 (edited) See this is why managers fib. Fernando has had a slight strain all week. Trained Friday though A 'proper manager' would have used that as a get out having lost the game. "He'd got a knock" And if he'd won the game he'd have admitted it was tactical. Because to be a successful manager you really have to be a lying bastrd and cover your arris at every opportunity.

But he did and it paid dividends straight away with 2 wins and 2 Westwood clean sheets after Dawson had kept 2 in over 4 months. So I'm not sure how you can say you think he'd have preferred to play Dawson (who hasn't done too much wrong when he's played to be fair) He kept Jos's formation but tactically was totally different. And he's playing 433 with 2 wingers this season, Jos would have nightmares playing that attacking! You live in a parallel universe. Neither Jos or Carlos would have been sacked if it wasn’t for fan pressure. DC doesn’t like getting rid of anybody, hence both times it’s been our fault. The fans were clamouring for Westwood and Hutchinson particularly when results went south and Jos couldn’t convincingly explain their omission.

Got to laugh haven’t you. Bar that wonder goal at Norwich, FF has done next to nothing for a few years now I’d like to think after the recent signings, and although with still a place off the bench, that FF is somewhat yesterday’s man He’s proved in his time with us that he’s not up to it, on a consistent basis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yellowbelly Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Why we appealing his ban if we’re not going to play him in the first four game anyway? We should have just bitten the bullet & taken the punishment & he would be available for next weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He makes things happen, finds different spaces, commits defenders, causes problems. Id have been much happier seeing him come on than Rhodes I'd have preferred Nuihu to Rhodes!

It’s a myth he hasn’t performed, he’s been injured for a fair part. Look at the season before last when he came back, he was brilliant for us.

I don’t even care about the Norwich incident and never really have, a purple patch for 5 games twice a year doesn’t do it for me, his best season was 15-16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest LondonOwl313 Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Amazing how everyone writes off FF and Rhodes, they’re both 29 and should still be in their prime. Performances haven’t been good from them for a while but would probably be more to do with them not having a run in the team or played in the right system rather than because they’ve lost their quality or no longer have the physical side FF has never played well for us in a forward two ever since he signed. He’s always been better as a wide forward.. so this system should suit him down to the ground. Just get the FA ban out of the way then give him a run.. he’s got much more quality with the ball than both Harris and Murphy who are speed merchants (which we also need in the squad). Rhodes plays best off a target man with wingers.. play him off Fletcher in a side that gets the ball in the box and he’ll get goals. The only time we played him was when he first came in and we didn’t use wingers. Then Jos chose Nuhui over him.. and Bruce tried to get rid for the financial aspect more than anything. Now that he’s staying we might as well use him properly. These two firing is crucial for us because if you look at their career records, Fletcher, Harris, Murphy, Bannan, Lee etc don’t score that many goals.
