Sends out the message that the players can play as bad as they like and they will still get in the starting 11 next game. No incentive to play better than last week

 

[SUFCStu]

Two youths I assume on the bench in Klass and Bwomomo.

Oh the puns.

Not neccesarily Phil. It equally says 'you guys let us down, now go and put it right."

No one will have been in any doubt about the strength of feelings, but only the performance today will tell us if it's the right call. The concern is the lack of depth in the squad which doesn't put pressure on the team.

Out of interest, who would you have dropped for today?

our of intrrrsr, who would you have dropped for today?

Time will tell. I'd happily play Yearwood, move Timlin to LB and drop Hendrie.

It irks me that PB gives it large in the paper every week about this or that player that is knocking on his door or pulling up trees or more then half a change of playing then nothing. I'd rather be kept his trap shut

 

[Medway Blue]

I think it's the right call to give the starting 11 a chance to redeem themselves but I am mightily concerned about the bench, especially the lack of a CB. Why on earth he hasn't put Matsuzaka on the bench God only knows ��

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

No Kiernan?

 

[blueveined]

No Kiernan on the bench?

Depends if you're easily irked by the manager! ;-)

Knocking on the door doesn't necessarily mean ready. And Brown's comments are clearly intended to put additional pressure on the team playing to give everything to the cause. Time will tell, and I don't just mean today's result.

Whatever happens, all we can hope for is a reaction.

Kiernan injured?:unsure:

Taking responsibility goes a long way in my book. I can't remember the last time PB accepted blame for a loss. I still can't work out why he played Kiernan out of position last week, makes no sense to me. He mentioned to combat height but you need to play a player in a position he is familiar with.

As you say, only time will tell and we can but hope for a reaction and a win today

Brown to pull out rabbit out of hat again 3-2 win

Come on you blues
