Yeah, there's a lad I work with, whenever we sign someone he goes on their wikipedia to see how tall they are, like this is some kind of gauge of how good they are. I am 6ft 5"... trust me, height doesn't make you a good footballer!I think you had a point mate, when people say experience and physicality that can be interpreted lots of ways and some of those interpretations are definitely not what we need.
If people are talking the likes of Vincelot I stand corrected, we could most certainly do with him in this current squad.
and if they were right why the devil has this aspect not been addressed?Yep. We have had a few managers who have said we have lacked physicality.
Were they all wrong?
My missus kind of does that sort of thing with penises.Yeah, there's a lad I work with, whenever we sign someone he goes on their wikipedia to see how tall they are, like this is some kind of gauge of how good they are. I am 6ft 5"... trust me, height doesn't make you a good footballer!
I'm not here to question both your footballing knowledge but do you not think all teams need experienced players to drag teams over the line, no the little dark secrets of bullying other teams influential players to nullify there treat?
How many times have we seen this done before our very eyes?
Do you not think it's strange that all our last few managers have said the team lacks leaders, men to do the job?
Sometimes teams can benefit from having a less skilled, lump in the middle that will drive the team forward singlehanded especially at league one and two level. It's effective and works, most weeks against us!!
course you can
but as the other guy pointed out henderson was experienced and a big lump. fans clamoured for him and once they got him they said he was crap
When people are saying we need experience And physicality, we mean players in their prime who have been around abit (26-29 years old) and know thr demands of league one - ie in the Vincelot mould. We don't mean the 34+ club that mowbray got obsessed about last season. Of course they have to be good enough, but we have too many 'technical' players and not enough 'gritty' players. Thr blend of thr team and squad is completely wrong.
Slade is right, we don't do the basics well enough and we don't have enough game management know how in the squad.

I see the above as being the only two likely scenarios, though it's very difficult to imagine us only suffering 5 defeats in half a season.Currently we've got 19 pts at the half way point of the season...
23 games to go, 51 pts should see us safe based on the last 10 years relegated sides points tally.

So we need....
8 wins 7 draws 8 losses
7 wins 10 draws 5 losses

You have point Otis, but you would have expected experienced manager Tony Mowbray and his equally experienced side kick Mark Venus to have known.Because he used to be a good player and was someone many of us rated. When he came though he was clearly past it and his legs had gone.
We weren't to know that until we got him.
Yes, exactly.You have point Otis, but you would have expected experienced manager Tony Mowbray and his equally experienced side kick Mark Venus to have known.
He wasn't, but I was expecting him to make a real difference and stand out and get didn't.i dont think hunt was as bad as some of our fans made out.
I don't see us getting anywhere near 51pts with the squad we've got. Could be an embarrassing "Early" finish to our season.
