    I was speaking generally. I didn't write all the names down in a book, but you can surely accept that quite a few did whilst you were not one of them.

    The problem J Block had, and me too to a lesser extent was that giving clues to identify the player/s would not have helped. 
  • Can’t see the point of this thread now until after tomorrow’s match.

  • Does feel like every shot is going in.
    We really have missed Phillips, but blaming Bowyer for not playing a GK that is not allowed to play is going some. 
    Incidentally, he did not play for the under 23’s today. I think we all wish him a speedy return to playing and I hope everything is OK with him. He has had a lot of head injuries. 
    I know it was a lighthearted comment that he should wear a crash helmet that I think was said by someone interviewing Bowyer, but with all that is being said about head injuries affecting later life, it feels that the time has come for all goalkeepers to wear protective headgear.

    That is good news. Aneke is a key player for us and Stockley and Aneke playing together is a tactic that looks like it might have some legs.

    I am surprised it was overturned but I assume the ref looked at it again and decided it wasn't as bad as he thought. That is usually the only way something like that gets overturned. If so credit to the ref.

    Not for 4 games, possibly more if we get called out as making a frivolous appeal. Osei Sankofa style. 
    Not so frivolous after all Daz 😉.

    Yes I think they did, but just for clarity I wasn't one of them, although I think at the time you suggested I was and clarified that I wasn't. (Sorry everyone).
  • Apologies if I did.

    Cech wore a protective helmet after his bad injury, and believe he played on in the top level of football for another 10 or so years. I’m certainly no sports professional, but would think it would be best for AMB’s future if he was to wear something similar for a while at least.

    No problem.
  • I think that the Gillingham game was a tipping point for a lot of us
    but the Burton game was def the WTF moment for me, i'm afraid by
    the time we got to Blackpool I had resigned myself to the inevitable 
    defeat, unlike me, i like to be positive but WTFF.
    the tipping point was reducing johnny williams to tears in front of the team

    Are you being serious that Williams was crying?

    Accidental post on wrong thread.

    Blimey.
  • Stunning... If true of course, but the timeframe for the collapse in form isn't far off.
  • Chuks was not one of the players J Block or myself were referring too btw. I wouldn't want people to wrongly come to that conclusion.
  • Explains a lot.

    No wonder the players hate him and won't play for him.

    Christ.

    yep - the players think he is a bully and an idiot and chucks took particular exception to it - i had lost faith in him way before that but the players turned on him after that 
    If there's any truth in that, it's even more astounding that he's still in charge

  • I'm not sure what to think of that if true.
    I recall a couple of young girls crying at work about 30 years ago, but that's about it.
  • If 23 players think bowyer is a “bully” and “idiot”, then find it odd they haven’t collectively gone above bowyer and made there point of being unwilling to play for the good of the club until he’s gone. Instead of just carrying on playing worse and worse to force him out that way. 
  • Playing 3 at the back and wingbacks, like we did against Burton, makes no sense if you then choose to play 2 players who like to play as wingers as well. 

    It's the wingbacks you'd expect to provide the width, with the midfield controlling the central part of the pitch, e.g. making the minimal amount of changes to the team Bowyer picked for the Burton game

                      Amos
           Pratley   Pearce   Oshilaja
    Gunter                                      Purrington
            Morgan  Shinnie    Watson
                   Aneke    Stockley

  • Random okapi caretaker manager for the rest of the season now looking an even more appealing prospect.

    Does the transfer window apply to zoos?
  • That is good news. Aneke is a key player for us and Stockley and Aneke playing together is a tactic that looks like it might have some legs.

    Credit to Bowyer for challenging it

    The players got told a few home truths today by one of our own at Euston station, I think with no fans allowed in they have got off very lightly with the shit they have served up. A few took it on board but were left knowing their performances and attitudes are not acceptable.
    Good - they have got off incredibly lightly.

    Doubt it was any worse than what their manager says to them everyday.
