Correct. Which is why I keep saying "We'll see".
We'll see Chris.
- I
summarised Blackwell's transfer's Rich - not quite
the same thing. - but to
detail - exactly which observation on Douglas was
'well wide of the mark' -
I'm afraid I can't just take your word for it. Are
you disputing his
stamina? His goals? Please let me know....
Fucking hell Chris , that's priceless. His stamina and
his goals ! He's hardly prolific. 40 appearances , 5
goals. That's almost competing with David Batty
....!!?????
What about pace and ability ? Chris, he's wank and you
know it.
You claim that Blackwells tactics are exactly the
same this season as last -
in what way exactly?
Long ball , negative tactics. Playing players out of
position. Choosing players that aren't up to it.
Relying on a captain that isn't up to it. Crap
substitutions at the wrong times ..... need I go on !
The only shining light has been Stone , who plays
football even though Blackwell thinks he's a right
winger.
Perhaps you'd like it better if
we didn't score set
pieces from goals - but hang on - I seem to recall
in the dim and distant
past one R.Walker plaintively crying 'When was the
last goal we scored from
a set piece?'. I agree it can and should be better,
but it's obvious even to
the armchair listers that we are not utilising the
same tactics as last
year.
Oh Yes Chris, it should be better.
Setting aside the sport of dismantling Rich's
efforts at rational debate for
a moment
What a tosspot statement that is.
- it seems to me that Blackwell has made
strenuous efforts to
address the areas everyone agreed were weak - he is
playing Kilgallon
regularly (despite howlers that had they been
comitted by Gregan would have
had Rich behaving like a man who has just imbibed a
bottle of draino). The
sale of Hulse was not Blackwell's doing, neither was
the sending off of
Horsefield.
Chris, would you play Gregan in front of Killa ? No.
Get real. Killa has made 2 mistakes this season and
one of them was blamed for a goal against Cardiff -
everyone forgets the part (or should I say non-part)
that Butler and Crainey played in that goal. Killa is
our best player and I think even Blackwell knows that
now although it took him an age to recognise it.
Rich, it's way too early in the season to start
claiming 'I told you so'
though I concede that you will eventually be proved
right since all managers
are sacked sooner or later - but let's change the
record - have you any
ideas about how the team we have - with the injuries
and suspensions we
have, can be deployed to get say 6 points this
month? - personally I don't
think we'll do it, but I do think that the team has
shown some potential and
that once the injury crisis is over we will deliver
some good, entertaining
football. Much more than that I can't honestly say -
so put your credibility
on the line - let's hear how you would do it (and
please don't just say
'sack Blackwell').
You're the same as all the rest who were shouting that
Blackwell should be given another season and are now
having to think twice. At least Sean Emmott came out
and realised he was wrong based on what he's seen so
far this season. You say I will eventually be proved
right cos all managers get the sack. Don't talk bollox
Chris - it's a simple as this - if he gets the sack
this season or we continue as we are doing and end up
mid season then I will be right. If he takes us to
promotion you will be right. IT WILL ALL HAPPEN THIS
SEASON. Let's put our bollox on the line Chris. Then,
when we get promotion, you can send one of your long
tossy e-mails to me and this list saying WALKER WAS
WRONG, I DISMANTLED HIS ARGUMENTS AND I TOLD YOU SO.
On the other hand if I am proved right and will keep
quiet cos I know that I told you so.
Chris, we will see.
