Do you have voices in your head Spotty?Lost Leopard Spot wrote:We need to win. In the next six upcoming games the only one I should feel confident about is home to Yeovil. And the fact I'm not even confident about that speaks volumes... to me at least.

Yeovil do have an away win to their name - albeit against Milwall...
I wouldn't be confident of playing against anyone at the moment.

Re: Rams to the slaughter?
Even James Beaties lot could get a win at the Bok at the moment, I must say I have been impressed by Yeovil thought they were going to be torn apart by everybody but they look really up for it, still don't think they will stay up but then the way we are going neither will we.
The above post is complete bollox/garbage/nonsense, please point this out to me at any and every occasion possible.

Re: Rams to the slaughter?
Ive been really impressed by Ream lately, actually playing like he has something to prove (which he does)
But I hate the formation with him infront of the back four, its just too negative at home and is the reason we aren't scoring anything, we need more creativity and with his brief cameo in the back four this weekend I think he deserves another chance (atleast more than Knight does...)
I'd personally play
----------Bodgan----------
Baptiste-Ream-Mills-Tierney
------Spearing-Medo------
Eagles-----Moritz------Hall
---------Beckford---------

Re: Rams to the slaughter?
I could go with that as long as Moritz is playing more of a 2nd striker role than a midfielder. Beckford isolated is a waste of space.Jez wrote:Ive been really impressed by Ream lately, actually playing like he has something to prove (which he does)

Re: Rams to the slaughter?
yeah I meant a kind of CF role, I have no idea why he hasnt really featured yet, surely he must be fit by now?LeverEnd wrote:I could go with that as long as Moritz is playing more of a 2nd striker role than a midfielder.

Re: Rams to the slaughter?
Mears in for Baptiste for me, but yes, at least that side looks like it might want to get forward whilst being as 'sure' as I suppose we can be at the back.Jez wrote:Ive been really impressed by Ream lately, actually playing like he has something to prove (which he does)

Re: Rams to the slaughter?
No idea either. More of Freedman and his stubborn refusal to put players in til they've done some fancy fitness regime, even when they are desperately needed. Stubborness that will get him sacked I'm afraid.Jez wrote: yeah I meant a kind of CF role, I have no idea why he hasnt really featured yet, surely he must be fit by now?

Re: Rams to the slaughter?
We made three attacking substitutions yesterday, none of which involved Moritz. On that basis, I can't see him starting on Tuesday (unless we were saving him <snigger>)LeverEnd wrote:No idea either.

given the persistence with which dougie pursued Moritz - his continued absence from any starting lineup - and often any lineup at all - is a mystery to me..Worthy4England wrote:We made three attacking substitutions yesterday, none of which involved Moritz.

Re: Rams to the slaughter?
ahhh - but we've had him for weeks - and just had a two week international break - is that not long enough to get him fit??Worthy4England wrote:I'm guessing you've not seen him "in the flesh" as it were.

Re: Rams to the slaughter?
Moritz was a weird case yesterday. Was named on the subs bench, and was out for the pre-match warm-up, but then didn't come out at half time, and as far as I could see, didn't come out to warm-up on the touchline at all. Maybe he tweaked a muscle or something?

Re: Rams to the slaughter?
I'd agree that Hall and Eagles could do with starting to offer at leat some creativity assuming moritz is not yet 90 mins fit! Not convinced about ream at CH,like old Ivan having a cuhion behind him may be what he needs to look confident!Bruce Rioja wrote:Mears in for Baptiste for me, but yes, at least that side looks like it might want to get forward whilst being as 'sure' as I suppose we can be at the back.Jez wrote:Ive been really impressed by Ream lately, actually playing like he has something to prove (which he does)

How about...
Mears.......Baptiste...Wheater....Tierney
................Ream.....Spearing
.....Hall.......Pratley.......Eagles
................CDavies
I may be wrong but of our current strikers Cravies does seem the one most likely to get a shot on target!?

Re: Rams to the slaughter?
I'd love to see Tim Ream playing, and learning, alongside an experienced premier league centre-back...but like a good one.

Re: Rams to the slaughter?
He's the next cahill dont you know!:) and we're shit out of luck in terms of that "good one" at present! A bit of a pressure scenario to be learning the ropes at this point in a team that cant score or keep a clean sheet!wanderers_on_tour wrote:I'd love to see Tim Ream playing, and learning, alongside an experienced premier league centre-back...but like a good one.

I feel reborn !!!! No more confussion
Re: Rams to the slaughter?
Our first win last season came at home to Derby but they're on a bit of form at the moment and banging the goals in. So I'm not expecting much. Freedman seems to change our team depending on who were playing as opposed to settling on the same eleven and telling them to just go for it and gel together. I think we're guilty of making things more complicated than they should be. I expect more changes for this game but possibly a similar result to Leeds.

Exactly this. Too complicated for the players to understand it seems.Jugs wrote:Our first win last season came at home to Derby but they're on a bit of form at the moment and banging the goals in.

And the Moritz injury begs the question of whether he'd have been better off playing table tennis? I'm all for sports science applied correctly but what good is at actually doing at BWFC right now?
