Of which job, lets be honest here, he's not exactly covered himself in glory in the past 2 years.

This season will be ace.

Defo no more problems now it's Duggie's team. We will out tactic everyone in the div with individual plans tailored for the opposition home and away.

No it's not. It's the managers job to make the most of the players he has.

Besides, when we used N'Gog, Sordell and Davies in Freedman's first season, we had plenty of success yet none of them were given chances last year. They all performed and yet all three have or are being pushed out of the door. We then spent around £1m on Beckford who we chased all last summer...only for Freedman to decide he doesn't want him either.

^ is this a thinly-veiled appeal to get Ngog and Sordell back?

We should resign Elmander and play him in midfield

Obviously that's the managers job. But you can only make the most of what you have and it's limits. Beckford and Craig Davies won't fire us to promotion. I don't care who is maximising them, that won't change it!

Who said he was his dream target?

Anyhow you know as well as I do that we aren't troubling the top 6 with those two irrespective of who is in charge!

We, he chased him for 4 months. He expressed his delight when he did eventuallysign. That wwould suggest he was his dream target ... at the time.

or - it might simply add up to Beckford being the best Dougie could afford... at the time - and he genuinely hoped he'd come good - and turned out to be wrong...

I don't really see that any of that adds up to "dream target"... (especially the emboldened section - I mean - come on!! what do you expect a manager to say when he has just signed someone!!)

you're so black and white and hyperbolic nowadays - I think you're turning into BWFCi-lite! :wink:

Don't give a f*ck who plays up front as long as they score goals and win games. I wish we looked convincingly and consistently like we'd do that. If he stopped titting about, theres enough ability in that squad to get us up. Beckford included.

Baptiste to Blackburn is a possibility according to Nixon. Where are my car keys?

We've signed what, 6 so far?

It isn't quantity that we are short of it is quality that is the bigger issue!

What a mystery he's been. Essentially a centre back at Blackpool he clearly preferred to be a full back and it looked like that was part of his contract as he never once played there.

Somehow, not helped by having to switch sides, he never convinced at either fullback role. Difficult to say why. DF maintained faith with him until that late run of silly tackles & fouls and seemingly a penalty a game. I still rate his potential but it looks like DF has to return to a one-in/one out pattern. Big wages also if I recall the talk 12 months ago.

And offloaded, loaned out how many? Not mentioning Chungy and now Baptiste plus any others Dougie may sell off.

Probably for the best if we don't.

Can then shut down the football club and sell the Macron for luxury flats.

Let's face it, football died as any sort of worthwhile spectator sport when they invented the premier league.

Us pretending to be interested these days is just providing the electricity that keeps the corpse twitching.
