Tactics - after scoring our 4th goal we should be looking to close the game out.
Pack the midfield ??????????????
Dave - replace 2 strikers with 2 strikers ???????????
Field for Barry with 3 minutes left ??????????????
who cares we won
now shut up
a win is a win
yes we made it hard
but 3 points are ours
I care how we win.
Please don't tell me to "shut up"
I'm trying to reflect on how we could improve.
I'm greatful for the points and win though.
i think i can tell you to shut up
i been supporting the Albion since i was 10 years old i`m now 53
i have seen some great sides
also seen some piss poor ones
regardless of whether we win or lose or draw
i`m proud to wear my colours
wasnt you the one who stated that Hoolihan was a has been?
we are taking a back road by taking on "has beens"
i`m not having a go at you
but a 36 year old dont make him a has been
age is experience
and im sure he can bring experience to our squad
so please dont spout rubbish about us signing over the hill players
53 your but a youngster, I'm looking at us building a new team and we ain't gonna do that by signing players
like Hoolahan & Mears. They can only help us in the short term. I want our youngsters to play a part in
our resurgence as an exciting young team. I see Roberts scored 2 goals for "Leeds" tonight - If he was still
here he wouldn't even be making the bench. Excuses like he ain't ready just keeps coming up. Do you see what i'm getting at.
I want Harper and Edwards given a chance before these has beens. Sure they can do a job for us, but they are not the future.
Let me jump in the middle of this for a second. I think you are both right to a degree, as Quantum states a good experienced player is vital at this level, you need those players to guide the younger ones. Phil is right that they are not the future but where I would take exception to this is what is your future?? Your one and only goal this season should be an instant return to the PL, you don't need to rebuild a team for the future, you only need one for this season, you need to get promoted before the money drops next season. If you gain promotion there are about 2 of your players that you would keep in the PL, so players like Hoolihan are only ever going to be short term and they will be discarded if you gain promotion!!
You are up to 3rd place, there are very few good defences in this division, you need to score more goals down here generally and your forward line on paper is as good as any other in the division. Winning games 4-2 is exactly what you need, score goals and the defence don't need to be perfect, that takes the pressure off them and allows them to once in a while have a perfect game that you end up winning 1-0!!!
