Re: MATCHWATCH : Peterborough United (a)

If I were manager I would send a reserve team to this match and keep the players that played yesterday fresh for the Cheltenham and Exeter games which are both very winnable. Can we all laugh at Andrew. Thanks The priority is the games against the bottom half. A point against Peterborough is great ...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Peterborough United (a)

Andrew sounds like a fcuking idiot Your plan. Play the first team against Peterborough. Lose narrowly then a tired team loses to Cheltenham and Exeter. Nil points. My plan. Preserve the first choice players. Lose against Peterborough but beat Cheltenham and Exeter - 6 points. But I suppose that mak...

Re: Selles In

I got fed up with Selles earlier in the season due to the constant and huge team rotations and the odd substitutions. It seemed as though he was panicking and just trying everything without giving any team selected the time to bond. Now we are playing a more settled side and the subs are less odd we...

Re: I've lost count - Embargos, HMRC Payent defaults, non payment of wages, the usual under Dai Wrongge

Unless I am missing something this seems like very good news, as there was a concern about further points deductions for Mr Dai's breaches. Looks like common sense has prevailed and they have gone after the owner rather than the club.

Re: Confirmed - Ejaria gone

People forget that in terms of points per game we did better when Ejaria was playing then when he was not. He was an undeniable talent and it is sad that something went horribly wrong behind the scenes. No point speculating what now that he has gone, but I wish him well and hope he can make it somew...

Re: Selles In

My reasons for being Selles out were that he constantly changed the starting 11 - dropping players that were doing ok and often bringing in players that were no improvement. On a lot of occasions he seemed to choose to play people out of position for no obvious reason. Then his substitutions were ba...

Re: Potential New Owners

There is little doubt that Dai will end his tenure completely screwing over the club by choosing the worst possible new owners. I agree So, a bit like SJM then :wink: As it turned out yes - but I honestly think SJM thought he had found a real billionaire rather than the wide boy son of a billionair...

Re: Potential New Owners

John Percy in the Telephone, who fell hook, line and sinker for Storey's bullshit, has written an article on our demise. In it, he says one bidding consortium has the involvement of Ken Anderson, who nearly ruined Bolton. He can be added to Genevra's involvement with the guy who screwed Wigan. Hold...

Re: Selles out

Snowflake Royal Kingsley could do a better job than Selles.


Job swap?


Actually it is a bit of a surprise that Kingsley hasn’t been given a go at LB. It seems everyone else has had a go.

Not sure a job swap would work as Selles would probably keep tripping over in the costume.

Re: Selles out

I think the thing that's most frustrating is that it was all set and ready to go. If Dai pays the players and HMRC at the end of last season, we get Wilder in charge, a couple of better signings. Different coaching staff so maybe Smith doesn't get injured. Better manager so maybe doesn't fallout wi...

Re: Selles out

Saturday was only the second league game I have missed all season and to be honest my weekend was much better because of it. I mostly disengaged myself from the game, but I did listen to BBCRB at the end. Selles, literally doesn’t know what he’s talking about. It’s all just meaningless words and he...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Shrewsbury Town (a)

It’s cone to the point where all you can do is laugh. If Selles isn’t sacked tonight I doubt he ever will be. Perhaps in an effort to totally destroy the club Dai’s last act as owner will be to appoint Selles manager for life.

Re: Bowen speaks

Interesting no mention of the manager whatsoever. When I read this part copied below I thought he was obliquely saying the performances are understandable. It must be very hard to any manager to motivate young players when there is a constant threat of points deductions hanging over the club. It wa...

Re: Bowen speaks

Thought it was a fair and excellent statement - the most Bowen can say under the circumstances. He also seems to be implying its not Seles's fault. To be fair we just don't know how awful its been behind the scenes. We just have to hope that Bowen et al know what they are doing and there is still ti...

Re: BFTG - Bristol Rovers

Agreed it is both the manager and players that aren't very good. Watching us last night against a team that sacked their manager for being mid-table and with the slowest striker in English football was seeing a side drifting towards relegation with no great effort to prevent it. For me, seeing Azee...

I am beginning to think the club is just a black hole.
