Yer that were it Loui, you said it was Cas that kept getting caught watching the Town play off games in the Dixons window...
Aye hydy I was is in Devon, guilty as charged. I was sat watching the final on the big telly on our caravan site with me town shirt on, argueing with about 20 southern softies who were adamant that the monti Carlo grand prix should be on the telly and not some 3rd division game.....So it was me and my lad against 20 southern softies...
Yup we watched the football, then all of a sudden i found I had just converted the southern motor racing fans into Posh fans... What an aftenoon that was, I got jeered & laughed out of the club house at 5.00pm that day... What an holiday that was...
Arro, I don't think we can blame Benik for the system LC played him in, I think that comes down to the manager and him alone, only so much the young lad could have done. Now in this system with 2 up front......I think he'd be an excellent choice. Although I very much doubt Wenger would let us have him back, not after how much we wasted his talents last time by putting too much on his shoulders.
Afobe cost us
Loui, you do talk some sense, but when it comes to Strikers you do talk some Shhhhhiiiite
Oh yeah I forgot about that classic, I go and watch the matches in Dixons, because Town are always on TV!
Afobe cost us!
Loui - You aint come across Boots on your visits to St Lukes have you ?
afobe could play with alan lee or novak..
i dont think he could partner rhodes..not from the start of a match anyway..
id take him back like a shot as i dont think it would make clark go back to 4-5-1... we have been to two of the strongest sides in the division and got 4 points that should really have been 6, there is no point going anywhere else and going backwards..
Benik did cost us we was ok with out him and as soon has we signed him the house fell down . If you can recall we played our best game away b4 Benik got hid chance at sheff weds I no he came on has a sub b4 u start , but that was the last match we played well in . Cas you have know say cos you not a proper town fan so zip it before I tell every one about what you do on match days .
Afobe would walk into any team in this league, ours included. He could play with Novak or Lee away from home and he can play with Rhodes at home as proven last season. He was by far and away our best player towards the end of last season and didn't get anywhere near the credit he deserved. It's all good saying he cost us promotion because we played 4-5-1 with him, but I guarantee we would have fallen short a lot sooner had it not been for him.
it wasnt the 4-5-1 or the players selected, it was our tactics and our gameplan that cost us the points..
afobe played well on his own but would have done considerably better with a regular partner up front, or even with a bit of support now and again..
its not the system its how you play it...its not the players but how you play to the strengths of an individual player, be it a lone striker or a pair.. knocking up long high balls to novak/rhodes wont work, we have winessed it, knocking it into the channels regularly wont work for alan lee..
get away from systems and more concerened about your players and their own strengths/weaknesses and play to the first not the second..
Intrigued as to what Cas does on Match Days!
I've seen him at games, so wonder who I did meet now!
Well I have a strong feeling of me saying I told you so if we signed him . No mater what you say about it not being about systems 38, it obviously is when it come to Clark playing Benik . How can you expect a lad of 16 just finished eating his last rusk get us up to the championship ?? If he came back just a year older he would be expected to do it again he's no were near ready for a Season like that at his age and it will only hurt us if we dont go up not Benik .
Haha Inter, that's just someone I give my shirt to on match days so I don't have to go myself!
Loui, look at our results before Benik and with Benik, how did he cost us promotion again? When we played 4-5-1 we accrued more points than we did playing 4-4-2. It was our home form playing 4-4-2 which eventually cost us, while our away form kept us up there with a chance.
Cas,
Loui does not look at where we was and what we did when he was in the team. He judges him by an easy miss here and there and decides he aint good enough. Him and Jacko think we should be shelling out BIG money on a proven Striker. As to who this Striker is or if he is prepared to a, be sold by his club or b, drop down a division is irrelevent to these two. They just don't seem to get it where Strikers are concerned.
