A Bit of Fun New Signing

[mrsblue]

RE the long throw,every manager will know this ploy,why not shake it up and do a quick short throw where the reciever knocks it straight into the mix.

Sturrock used to use the same tactic so 2 incompetent managers I guess.

Well it is a little hard to be supportive of a move that has been seen to no effect for several seasons. There appears to be some very limited vision from the club on this.

Every time I look at this thread and see a new post I get excited maybe some news on a new signing...... Always a massive let down.

We only managed to score once from a free kick last year and twice from corners. What do we practice in training? Brown is a defensive mindded manager with no counterbalance in his entourage. We have players that can score, but they need to be provided with the ball. Our midfield have no trouble locating Bentley, so why do they have such a problem locating a number 9 or 10? IMHO Brown puts too much emphasise on clean sheets. Goals win games not unemployed scorerboards !

How is not scoring from corners because he is defensive minded?

Does he ask our players to defend their corners as well as our own? :smile:

Most of our throw-ins are short ones! Unless we're losing the long throws are always the minority. Fortunately, as we never bloody score from them.

On the evidence so far 1 striker, poss 2.

Brown: "I don’t think anyone new will come in before tomorrow's game but one definitely will before Saturday."

Well, before Saturday leaves little more than 24hours. Hang on, perhaps PB has been learning a thing or two from Ron......................................he didn't say THIS Saturday. :smile:

Yeah.. Twitter only allows a maximum of 140 characters, so I reckon the finished phrase would have been, "Definalty be before the saturday hell freezes over, which incidently happens to be our opening home game at Fossets Farm" :smile:

It will happen .......... in "a few days" perhaps? I'm not holding my breath - I said I'm not holding my breath.

I don't think the issue this season is the mindset of the manager, I think the issue is that the manager has so many good midfielders that he doesn't know yet how to get the most out of them. To me last night was all about trying to squeeze as many talented midfielders into the team as possible, and even then he couldn't find room for Wordsworth or Payne.

We've a bunch of creative midfielders and we've three strikers all with a lot of ability. Brown needs to find a way to get the most out of both.

And Atkinson.

I think last night's team was about trying to pack the midfield and get a 0-0.

What I'd question is how many players are told to get beyond the ball? If Worrall beats his man and puts in a cross how many players are there going to be in the area to get on the end of it? If Mooney wins a header, who's going to get on the end of it. The players look as if they're drilled on how to get back into defensive position, but not on how to gamble and take up forward attacking positions. Where are the players like Hall, Mohsni, Ferdinand etc? There's Worrall and that's pretty much it, which is why I hope McLaughlin signs.

Otherwise that line-up looks to me reliant on set pieces and long range efforts for goals. And when there's not much in the way of height and aerial presence to get on the end of set pieces goals are going to be difficult to come by.

.. and Hurst. Although he seems anonymous half the time.

As above. Agree. :thumbsup:

Could we not have a sub-forum titled Whinge Fest for the Victors and Victorias leaving the others available for the topic?
I think we know what is needed, and more importantly PB does as well, however finding players that actually improve what we have is not easy- I am happy that based on who has come in so far PB is looking fr quality and improvements- this time of year its very easy to make a number of signings just for the sake of it..

I have lost track but unlike the rest of our team none of them are playing in League 1.

I am not as certain of this as you appear to be.

Doesn't fill you with confidence that one deal gets suspended to bring another in. Why not do both at the same time, we don't do anything quickly do we!
