oafc1955 Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 I'd prefer rapid improvement. Are you saying we should wait a while before trying to be good at football? "Calm down lads, let's not be winning games yet. Let's wait til Christmas. Or beyond." This post has all the urgency of a Danny Philliskirk 90 minutes. ...................... We've been trying to be good at football for 20 years without success...Dunn's been here 2 months and managed for 2 games. We'd all prefer rapid improvement but looking at this team over the first few games it was painfully obvious we weren't good enough. All I'm saying is give this guy some time and I'm sure he'll have us climbing the table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAV Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 I like Port Vale because you always get the impression that the locals don't want you there.

al_bro Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 It'll be the same team again providing Burn is ok. I notice he isn't saying that he would like to bring in another 2 or 3 as he was last week. All the spare budget must have gone on Higdon. DD is talking about getting people out again, but can't for months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc1955 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 How many times does he need to say it....he made the statement after the signing of Higdon so as you were for me. I think at least one more will be coming in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hands on Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 At some point we have to go from trying to be hard to beat to an up and at them side. I look forward to that moment but can't see it happening any time soon unless we manage to nick a couple of wins to give the management and players more confidence. Had Brown not made an error with the throw in we would probably have come away depressed from a 0 0 draw. Hoping the opposition scores so that our team can start to play is not where I want to be!

Midsblue Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Poleon and Higdon up front, Croft on the right, Yeates on the left and two from four in midfield (Kelly, Jones, Winchester, Fulton). Would just be interested to see width and two up front on the attack (442 I guess) with Poleon tracking out left with Yeates coming into the middle when defending to support the fullbacks (451). Just width, crosses, two up front in the middle to get on the end with the aim of converting and boosting that shots on target figure.

Unfortunately all the coaching manual these days are titled - "How not to lose" , previously it was "How to win" Somebody posted earlier that you can only play to the strengths of the squad !!! The problem is that managers sign these players with the negative tactics in mind when they do. They sign squad players that will fit into a 451 or 4321 or whatever negative variation they decide to play that week. Get back to old fashion 442 and let other teams worry about us , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tringerlatic42 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 I am going in the Bulls Head (Titanic Brewery} in the centre about 15 mins walk to the ground. Yes I can recommend the above a great pub with friendly locals and some top ales, a few recommended to make the game more palatable!.

Hoping the opposition scores so that our team can start to play is not where I want to be!I am not a fan of Brown either BUT:1. A lot happened after Brown threw the ball in (poorly) and the goal ought to have been prevented. 2. Nobody is giving him credit for winning the header that led to our goal. Just giving a bit of balance. Edited September 29, 2015 by Stainrod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
