Re: BFTG Wednesday.

A draw was fair-with both sides having the odd opportunity to score. Sheff Wed were a typical Championship side-worked extremely hard-but despite Fletcher no quality up front. I wont bother with ratings suffice to say Bacuna and Barrow were our best players. On Tuesday night, it is time for Stam to ...

Re: BFTG - Wolves

I agree with most of what has been said. Why change a winning system;even if a few players are injured, at least the rest know what they are doing. Plus Stam's devotion to his two Dutch players is absolutely killing us.Hugely disappointing.Wolves really weren't that great. Mannone 6: Couple of good ...

Re: Back from booing at my tv screen

Trying to be even handed here. I cannot recall a Reading game when everyone had a below par performance-even Moore (eventually). Stam mentioned working harder, sometimes that is the answer, but more often it is about working smarter. So many good players are right off their game-why ? Is the trainin...

Re: BFTG - Hull

Don't agree with Boo Boys (we probably don't pay the players wages-the gate money is not enough),and I have seen us play far worse than today, under the previous three managers, and at least Stam was honest in expressing his annoyance with the booing-far prefer that to the usual stock platitudes.

Re: BFTG (H) Brizzle

Well that was a bummer. Admittedly I haven't seen it again, but surely that had to be red card ? Clear goal scoring opportunity etc ? Although probably Joey was down for a second yellow shortly afterwards. All credit to a pretty crap Brizzie,with no talent, but through sheer hard work and massive sl...

Re: BFTG - Villa

While the result and performance should not paper over the cracks;for an hour or so last night as a team we were very very good. The last 20 minutes however was very different & we were lucky to get away with all the points, when we could have easily let them slip. IMHO: Mannone: 6: Distribution...

Re: BFTG - Wembley

What a waste of time that was-that was by far our worst performance of any of the last three play off attempts or the FA cup semi. We never really gave it a go apart from some poor long range shots and a couple of half chances. Our lack of pace on and off the ball , meant that although we had a lot ...

Re: BFTG - Rov'rum

Just shows what Adie Williams knows-we were never going to score six-idiot. That was very, very hard work and all credit to Rotherham in making it as difficult as possible for us. We were poor in the 1st half, when only Williams kept us going-the rest seemed half asleep & we were far too slow to...

Re: Back from the game - Norwich

Re: BFTG - Blackburn Home

Bit like the Leeds game, we were excellent in the 1st half, and then lost the plot in the 2nd half. But just when Blackburn were building up a head of steam, with their goal-Macca smacked in the third and game over. Still a good night. Ratings IMHO: Habsi 4: Indecisive, poor kicking, a game to forge...

Re: Back from the game - Leeds (H)

Great entertainment, and the fans got right behind the team, esp East Stand. Two more wins and that should do it-for twenty or so minutes in the 1st half, Leeds were chasing shadows and looked very, very average. Last twenty minutes, without Kelly, we just didn't play any football & could have c...

Re: BFTG Newcastle (H)

After Saturdays dross-the team played exceptionally well-albeit that a few players are struggling. The system suits us & Stam got the tactics spot on & I thought we shaded the game-that said there is a lesson there-they shoot on sight & we don't (except for Macca). IMO Al Habsi 7 : Coupl...

Went to the game today , some gob s****t in a series 5 BMW decided just to dump all his empty beer cans on the green outside the Fire Station-who does he think is going to pick them up? Hope he gets done on CCTV.

Very low quality game-but a wins a win, only two bits of real class won us the game. Although Dim reckons Kermit meant his goal ? I couldn't really tell. Al Habsi 6 : Couple of good saves-but pressure distribution as usual and one howler(which didn't hurt us). Gunter 6: Lower end of his usual averag...

Re: BFTS - Brighton (A)

I have to be honest-I was ashamed of that performance. Some of the team need to take a long hard look at themselves. I think this is the first time I have seen them on TV this season; so maybe my player ratings are a bit skewed-however, I believe these are the lowest ratings I have ever given. Al Ha...

Re: BFTG - Barnsley home

Brrr it was cold. Typical Championship game; lots of effort but just when some quality was required; both teams came up short. Until Danny's shot late on we never looked like scoring-despite four times getting close in the box 2nd half-while they nearly scored twice. Al Habs 5: One horror moment in ...

I actually resented going last night-after the postponement fiasco, but in fact enjoyed the game.

Welcome to being a Championship manager Jap. As Mick said last week as long as you are paid-it doesn't matter who owns the Club. The one provisio for the Manager with the current situation is that he gets what he asks for in terms of transfer budget-so far £2mill on Iliori seems to confirm he has-pl...
