WANTED A Cute Brute Midfielder ..

Right Boots your job is to archive the predictions. Here's mine, Jack will be a good player for Town but never make it to the top. Jordan Rhodes is going all the way, proper goal scorers score wherever, whenever they play, they can't help it. Whichever team get him this summer are in for a treat.

Where is Cryer to tell us how his mum can head the ball better than Rhodes?

Here Archive this one Boooothy (as its one of me own and I do like a sense of fairness) .. Larry and his Two Lambs WILL take us into The Championship .. This Very Season .. .. If after 12 days 38 doesn't think so then let him say so .. As Per Clarky 38 ~ Invitation Extended

archive this..
the bravest manager will get second spot.. the one that tries to win every game from whatever score it is..
hunt needs to learn how to defend before we have him scuttling up and down the wing..
kay is the spare centre back..
joey does not do enough.
rhodes cant play on his own.
we defend too deep too quickly and hang about in our ow box like a bad smell, we have done for 3 years and we are still doing it.
novak can play wide but not when he is told to stay in his own half.
hegginbottom is our secret weapon and will stay a secret under clark and grayson. they dont do flair..

I am still laying the blame at the door of Clark...it's his team Grayson is trying to mold into a cohesive unit, something Clark failed to do over 3 years plus..

We have all identified weaknesses and strengths, our back 4 has always been suspect, our strikforce is totally fine to me with Rhodes, Noval, Lee and Higgsy..we have enough there...but as we have all said, it's the midfield...berrett was released, Tom Clark sent away, Kilbane and Joey brought in, then ditched..Arfield,Johnson, Gobern, Miller, Robinson brought in...to add to Clarke, Kay, Ward, Roberts, Cads and we still don't have the right formula...non are consistent enough or do the right job and non of them are the hard working player we need and non of them work together as a unit.

It doesn't matter who or where SG picks, they will always fall short, because they always have. These are the reason Clark got sacked when he realised this himself and played Woods in midfield against Sheff Utd...he's dropped a totally borlork.

grayson should be knocking on Deano's door and say 'sorry Mr Hoyle, but I've given them all a go and non of them are good enough...if you want that 2nd place we need a finished article in there..not more 'potential' players'..

I'm expecting by the time this week as far gone, that will be the case..yesterday Miller and Johnson might have done a job, but neither have the energy or pace to compete with a unit like Bury had, that were cohesive and worked hard. Dropping deep is just admitting that you're not up to it, and hoofing it instead of controlling it and dribbling out and then finding a man..

It's a metal problem with the playing staff, need help from outside.

Mental

Maybe I'm just a muppet, but.....
Johnson's injury last season was the excuse we used when we got results like yesterday....
I still think he can do a job this season, and from what I can gather he isn't even injured....
He has the energy of Novak, and reads the central midfileld better than any one else we've got....
If we are going to play 3 in the centre of midfield again, it should be Johnson, Arfield & Gudjonson.
Use Ward on one wing, then one from Novak, Cads & Roberts.....
Rhodes showed yesterday he can hold is own up front yesterday, cos we actually were playing very good football in the first half and looked like we could score at will....
I quite liked the formation too, from what I could gather it was a mix of 433 & 451 depending on the state of play.....
We're just short of a leader on the field, one that would pull the lads together, and lead them by example when they were under pressure like yesterday......
But who is that leader gonna be.............?

Peter Clarke..........?

jordan was never on his own..novak was up there in the first half and ward was always close..
second half jordan showed he cant play on his own..
if neither central midfielder, or any of the 3 from yesterday dont get up and support rhodes its a giveaway..
I honestly dont think we actually played a forward ball anywhere near jordan in the second half anyway, if thats going to be the way then you need a really quick lad to chase lost causes etc and run the channels, thats not jordan, its not alan lee and only novak comes anywhere close..
it was just poor tactics...we dropped back and left a third of the pitch bereft of town players, it was too easy for them, a better team would have equalised long before they did and gone on to win the game..
lets face facts, they are in the same league as us(no matter what we have spent or how many of our players lee clark said were premiership quality), the difference is good players can play wether given time or space or not, bury are ordinary when pressured but like any professional team they can play enough when allowed to..
we have paid out enough for us to have at least a couple of midfielders who ;
a. have the ability to run a game
b. have the legs required to run a game.
c. have the brains to see where its going awry and change what we are doing, whatever the manager says.
d. Joey and kay have the brains but neither had the will/energy or gumption to push onto schumacker yesterday. He was the difference in the 2nd half, it all went through him and he used the small amount of ability he has to the full.. In the first half, novak clattered him, kay bumped him twice and even rhodes caught him dallying on the ball.. other than a spawny defelection on the free kick he was anonymous..
forget the lads they brought on, they were no better than went off it was simply better service that changed the pattern of the game after we surrended the middle of the pitch..
no coaching badges required to see it happening, no requirement for looking at the dvd of the game, blatantly obvious..
