oldhamains Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Awful stint at left back ? Really ? Twice a stint than Paul blacks or diallo's Yes Mellor was bad at left back. Was at fault for a good few goals that season. The two away to Preston stand out for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeslover Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Don't disagree at all in principle but I just can't see underdeveloped 17 year olds being at the top of a list for clubs close to our level That's the problem I think. Winchester at least certainly has the ability right now to play at our level, but would struggle physically just the same in the 4th division as in ours.

Lukers1 Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I'm not at all convinced by Mellor or Winchester but both should have spent extended spells on loan in League Two long ago. This would have been far better for their development than kicking about on the bench at BP and playing reserve team football. I agree, we have some good league clubs in the area, along with some fastastic non league ones, this should have happened months ago.

BP1960 Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I thought neither enhanced their first team chances this afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markspark92 Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I thought Diallo looked a good player loved to get forward pretty good on the ball and could get a good cross over ! Apparently we wanted him to stay but couldn't come to an agreement on wages. Believe or not the last I heard of him he was on trial at Swindon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opinions4u Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 (edited) The player falling over off the ball at 1.55 is funny. http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=MYFJPh21JNk&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DMYFJPh21JNk Some good Chapel Road action too!

That makes him looks half decent .......and that's why video editing showreels are not a good scouting tool people!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must have seen the games that they took the highlights from and missed the others (many more games to be fair) where he was a horror show. I thought the lad had quality!

razza699 Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 That makes him looks half decent .......and that's why video editing showreels are not a good scouting tool people!! I dont think Diallo was that bad, he was just another victim of Taggarts awful defensive tactics. I remember one game Diallo and Lee basically played as centre backs they were that narrow. Theres a picture I took somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deyres42 Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 For all we know Taggart might not have anything to do with the defensive coaching, and even if it was solely down to him, our goals against record wasn't bad under Dickov, it was lack of goals scored that was the problem.

Im not having that, Lee, Black, Diallo, Mellor and whoever else played as fullback last year always played ridiculously narrow. You telling me all them chose to play that narrow? I think it was the Bury game when they tore us a new one down the flanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cliff Byrne would beat him over 30 metres. You are right about the shape of the defence. Lee Johnson has also identified a similar issue. As for the Bury game, that was them playing smartly against 10 men. Edited March 27, 2013 by opinions4u Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before the sending off though they were starting to batter our non existent fullbacks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
