You will find then more competitive players signed to replace them. I've already two for recommendation. Professional pride should be a good reason for any person in any job to do their best, unfortunately, not everybody is cut from the same cloth. In my job, children depend on me to be safe and secure, so I do my best. Footballers? I'm not completely convinced that a good many of them truly appreciate their privileged lives, considering what some people have to do to scrape a living. To get a full squad of competitive, loyal and professional players is nigh on impossible, in my opinion. There will always be the journey men, the wastrels and the free-loaders. Bunn has to suss this out, which I am sure he is more than capable of, and pick his teams accordingly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latics22 Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 The result is meaningless, however whatever league, standard or age, you must be doing something wrong to get tonked so badly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do have a thing about moving players on, as though it is easy as sticking them on Ebay and watching the bids roll in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

League one forever Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 I’d really like to see Baxter start tommorrow. If we can only use him sparingly, I’d rather it be at home when the onus is on us to create. Plus if teams sit in against us a midfielder who can pass and keep possession would be very welcome.

Agreed. So long as he [Frankie] is not playing him [Baxter] in front of the back 4, like he did t'other week....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long should it take for these guys to get fit? furthermore,Baxter stood on one leg is better than anything else we have. Get him in from the start instead of handing the other team the initiative. Edited September 21, 2018 by archiecat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst I agree with this where and who do you replace him with, Missilou is the back fours protection and Gardner (generally) keeps us ticking over, he wouldn't be suited out wide so we'd have to change the system to accommodate him. 4-3-3 maybe?

Plus Gardner needs a rest IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever it takes,as far as i am concerned you pick baxter,gardner,surridge and missilou then fill the two remaining places however you see fit. Shouldn't be a question of how we fit Baxter in.

I mentioned weeks ago that Gardner, maybe subconsciously ? feels the need to do the Byrne thing of having every play go through him. Due to that he makes more mistakes and tires quicker, i feel that Baxter starting would help Gardner immensely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bradley Knowles @BradleyKnowles1 Hopefully we get the win today but today stinks of 1-0 Colchester #oafc If you are one this forum, why don't you ever give it a rest?

oafcshuck Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Think they must be one of our worst bogey teams in the last 20 years. No win in 8 at home against them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the sort of game we would lose in the past on the back of a few decent performances, lets hope we've turned a corner in that respect.
