Eastwood- Northampton Game (2 Viewers)

[pusbccfc]

Freddy Eastwood was today in the starting line up in the friendly against northampton.
The game finished 2-2 with jeffers and woody getting the city goal
Dunn (GK), Burge (GK), McPake, Eastwood,
McDonald, Wood, Jeffers, Wilson, Bigirimana, Ruffels,
Phillips, Willis, Daniels, Henderson, Richards

So thorn giving eastwood one last chance?

[brinner]

hope so as he is better than mcdonald, platt and odonovan put together!!

needs a change in attitude tho, hopefully he has responded to thorns kick up the backside.

if not he can fuck off.

Bloody hell, when did we get him back!

 

[rob9872]

Makes sense to keep/get him fit if they want to off-load him. Nothing more than that I suspect.

 

[We'll_live_and_die]

Bloody hell, when did we get him back!

No wonder we haven't got any cash for loans. He must've cost us a fair bit when the Thomas - Henderson swap fell through.

 

[Mumford and Daughter]

Am i the only one pissed off that Thorn has gone back on his word?
Is Thorn another bullshitter along with the SISU cronies.

He hasn't.

Thorn said if Fred gets himself fit and can prove him wrong then he can stay.

 

[Mumford and Daughter]

Did he? I'm sure he said he in the article to look for another club??

 

[WillieStanley]

There is nothing wrong in leaving the door ajar should a player want to take the opportunity to prove you wrong! And I'd happily have Freddy do that! However, if he does burst back onto the scene, there shouldn't be a big new contract waiting for him at the end of the season. You can't reward a few months of hard work after years of being mugged by the guy. Maybe a pay as you play. But we're not there yet... I'm dreaming!

And Brinner... I don't think we've seen enough of Cody to make that call... Yet! Jury is still out!

 

[WillieStanley]

good to see McPake coming back though!

 

[wingy]

Cody was a boardroom signing ,Juke weill go the other way,little or no money changed hands ,Parkin was the same,no way would thorn have gone for him ,after all he would'nt suit the style we continually hear from the boardroom

 

[Pigeon]

Happy to see Wood playing and back on the score sheet. I think it's more a case no one will pay Freddies wages!

 

[WillieStanley]

Hasn't Thorn been talking about Cody for a while? I could be wrong but I'm sure he was one of the names first dropped at the beginning of the summer?

 

[kg82]

Hah, writing players off after 3 games... Priceless :facepalm:

 

[WillieStanley]

I wish I had the facility to "like" a post on my phone because kg82... You'd get one!

 

[Nonleagueherewecome]

He was linked in loan around July-August. Parkin wasn't an AT target though, no way.

That said he spends to much time in Mcdonald's. Thought he was off ?

I did'nt hear that Willie but thorn said he was no1 choice after he arrived ,Le fondre was higher on the list ,but it was reported somewhere the bid was around £100,000 ,suggesting to me little or no money bought Cody in ,He certainly has,nt persevered with him like he was one of his own ,which he has with others,however his last game he did seem anonymous,its only conjecture of course,but with all the smoke and mirrors. good to see wood +mcpake involved but ATs hinted he wants to re-unite keogh /cranie,i'd much rather cranie plays LB if theres to be a change

A "Like"... Right?!

 

[sw88]

We need all hands on deck, and tbf, if i was Freddy and had been told to look elsewhere, yet no one was coming in for me, and i had atleast 7 months left on my contract, i wouldnt just be sitting back lettin my contract run down. I think tue article AT did will make Freddy see some reality, and hopefully give him the kick up the backside he needs. I think AT would be more than happy if Freddy could prove him wrong and get his fitness levels back up. I dont think it will happen, but its a possibility. Im sure our unique board, as theres no other board like it imo, would be happy if AT did have a change of heart!

 

[WillieStanley]

Heheh... Yeah

*awkward*

 

[WillieStanley]

bang on... Parkin had nothing to do with Thorn

I still honestly think that "he was first choice target" was just man-management speak to get Cody revved up. That it didn't work is because McDonald likes the burgers that bear his name even more than Freddy does! Where did you hear 100k? I thought it was 400k-the whole point being we could only afford him after Turner was sold (for significantly more than that, I might add). Indeed the Aron/Dann money should have paid for a striker, but this we know, it's old ground...

Anyway, sod Freddie-Jeffers scored, and that hasn't had a single comment! Isn't that more of interest to us than that fat lazy git who is history to us now?

 

[Dean Allsop]

personally, I would keep eastwood, get rid of platt, see how eastwood and macdonald play together, if it hasnt worked by the end of the season, listen to offers............

Rightly said, jeffers had a good pre season and has pace about him.
The only problem is, is that if he's good enough why hasn't he had a run out yet, if gael christie and thomas can break into the squad why can't he...
Maybe thorn doesn't feel he's good enough for championship standards of football?

 

[Sky Blue Sheepy]

McPake tweeted me yesterday. Says he's back fully fit now so just needs game time.

As for Eastwood, I would love him to be fit and on form - as I would with McDonald. McDonald didn't have a full preseason though and I have more faith in him to come good.

 

[Nonleagueherewecome]

McPake tweeted me yesterday. Says he's back fully fit now so just needs game time.

That is a nice touch. Now AT, get him in the bleeding team now! Never mind this "Keogh and Cranie are our best pairing" tosh, we need a defender who can tackle, head and do the dirty work. I'm sure Jim is just as capable of passing it 5 yards to Sammy, who then passes it back, etc...

 

[skyblueinBaku]

I think Freddie is a lost cause. However, it's good news that McPake got a game under his belt. We need him in the team asap.

 

[Sub]

we are going to need everyone fit injuries starting to bite now !! we will have a bench full of kids unless all these loan signings come in

Problem being our kids have been outplaying the seniors atm!

 

[SkyBlueScottie]

Read the very same article, and he says if he proves him wrong he is more than welcome to stay, basically it was one last kick up the arse.

 

[The Reverend Skyblue]

I'm a massive Freddy fan and i'd love him to prove Thorny wrong, it could have been all part of the mind games of AT to get Freddy fired up by giving him the ultimatum.

The Rev

 

[Kuklinski]

It could well be Rev, it's up to Freddie now.

 

[skyblueinBaku]

It could well be Rev, it's up to Freddie now.

The problem is, it's been up to Freddie on previous occasions and he didn't respond very well. I'd really like Freddie to get his act together, but I doubt he will.

 

[JHarding1987]

Time for Freddy to go IMHO, had more than enough chances. NO other player has been given the amount of slack by the club AND fans that Freddy has enjoyed. I finally lost my patience with him when he came on as sub against Scunny last season and put less effort in them my Mrs' 15 year lad, which to be fair is quite and acheivement!
