Scoreboard82 Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 It may have only been a friendly with Carlisle, but after being close to their fans and having to endure some stick, i celebrated our goal like it was the winner in the F.A cup final. I was kissing my badge in front of them and everything. No matter what side we put out, we should be beating these clubs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 We sounded shocking but when listening on totally bias sheep shagger radio it was so hard to tell, god it killed me going through that with Reeves and Mortimer of the football world.

Gallowgate Toon Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 Sams new system of play is being learned by the players at the moment, it will take a few games for the system to pay real dividends, this is what the pre-seasons are about, especially for new managers getting used to the players and the players getting used to the new styles of coaching and play, if this match was 3 months into the future (FA Cup for example) it doesn't matter which team we would have put on the pitch we would have beaten Carlisle 4-0 probably. Also pre-seasons aren't competitive really and as Sam said we have the skill but yesterday we were a bit 'misguided'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 Just as a matter of interest, we've kept the whole thing to one thread. Pre-match, Match and post-match in one big thread. Thoughts? Better, worse? Keep it, ditch it? On average, a Premier League game consisted of a 5-page pre-match thread, a 20-page match thread, and a 12-page post match thread. Meaning one uber-thread would consist of around 35 pages. What's the point? It was fine how it was. If it isn't broken, don't fix it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 Sam was trying something different out yesterday, obviously. And failed. Going off what various people have said to me, who went to the match, new positions were being tried out against a low-profile team, that's all. You'd think that Allardyce would see that the system against Carlisle isn't a good idea and will revert back to the 4-4-2 that hammered Hartlepool. Was hoping we might see a glimpse of the 4-5-1 at some point in pre-season, but i don't think we've got enough players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope he doesn't try to fit 3 strikers in the team together just to keep them happy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way we started yesterday certainly looked like the more defensive version of the 4-5-1 system. It looked like Carroll was up top on his own with 5 across the middle. Oba right side, Dyer left, and Nobby in the middle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or are you just talking out of your arse? You said something about 2 players and then kept ignoring peoples requests when they asked you how you knew, finally you came out and said you go down the training ground and wait for the players outside. Not my fault if you got grief because you chose not to respond and drag something out. But if you keep acting the way you are you arent going to be taken seriously on the forum.

tmonkey Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 Just as a matter of interest, we've kept the whole thing to one thread. Pre-match, Match and post-match in one big thread. Thoughts? Better, worse? Keep it, ditch it? On average, a Premier League game consisted of a 5-page pre-match thread, a 20-page match thread, and a 12-page post match thread. Meaning one uber-thread would consist of around 35 pages. What's the point? It was fine how it was. If it isn't broken, don't fix it. Aye. I appreciate that it can be frustrating for mods when newbies come along and add junk to the forum by posting the same things over, and that its easier for them to make things "tidier", but sometimes I think theres a secret plan by some sort of moderator's union for the whole internet to be turned into one giant thread with millions of pages. Youd have the option to start a new thread, but itd be locked within a few replies with the mods linking to the uber thread and asking you to post in there. "So what if you have to browse through hundreds or thousands of pages? Just use the search facility, and if you dont like it, go elsewhere *snigger*". Eg, Channel 4's football italia forum is a horrible board by comparison, with mega threads for each player/manager that can date back several years, and any related topic always going into that thread. Hope this place never becomes like that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep it, ditch it? On a side note, I think Pre-Match threads are completely pointless anyways, there are usually about 3 for each match and it consists of a few decently lengthed posts and then 5 pages of people just predicting the formation and team line up (often the same as other members).

Quailman Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 Bring on Thursday and Celtic, because we can't judge on the first couple of games... we will see the state of the squad come Bolton, so until then I say just take whatever comes lightly, unless there's another 3 or 4 injuries costing us dearly.
