Well I wasn't at the game today and haven't seen the highlights, so I'll defer to those sufferers who can get to every game. Clearly it was a game where we deserved at least the point, and could have won. (Or lost). But is anyone else getting ever so slightly peed off with the boring repetition of Redders after the match comments saying how well certain players did and how our performances are improving and how we could have won? Is he still going to be saying this when we slip into the bottom 3? (I'm still reeling from the fact he only 'discovered' Sloth last week)
I am/ have been a big fan of his (Redders) - but what we need now are points not performances. Fair enough a point away from home, but it's games like this we need to win.
I don't actually think our squad is that bad, and surely it is possible to put a team together that can score a goal from open play.
And while I'm having a whinge - I like Sylvestre but I'm getting more and more worried about his fondness of punching balls that should be caught, and his too frequent total lack of command of his area and lack of communication with the defence. He needs a good rollocking imo.
On the bright side, sounds like Sam added at least a million to his price tag today!

Good post Speedy. sums it up nicely and particularly agree with your point about Silvestre. started off very well and I thought we'd acquired a great keeper. But in the the last few games his weak points have emerged. A commanding keeper is always a great aid to the back four, and should be shouting the odds at them. But as you say, he punches too much instead of catching and needs to communicate with his defenders a lot more. If he works on these things, he could become a great keeper instead of a good one.

Well said Mark
Having re-read my post I do wanna give Redders some credit. I never thought he would drop JP, but he did have the balls to do that, and he has tried various captains, admittedly due to injury. Cooper might be the one to stick with

Good post again we should be joint managers

Time to get beccio back if he going to play morrison up front! What we got to lose clueless they were there for the taking today mot

10 Jan 2015 20:51:45
now one striker and it's morison what the hell is going on he's useless and worse than that he couldn't score if he played 2 mths none stop effort none run for ball no stands around never puts himself out but we should but the 30k a week player should be out for good easy money doing nothing off or on pitch

Good to here from u bw! Me and speedy have missed your banter or do we call u lord bermondsey now! Lol " the king is dead long live the king "!! Lol

hi speedy, Peterboro and everyone. I have been away spending time with my dad and his family who I have just looked up after 31 years. Even went to palace on boxing day (dad and family are egals) glad to see I took my luck with me as they lost badly and manager got sacked so I am no longer allowed back at selhurst park. I loved the joke about me spending time with hock on a cruise in the med. would love to spend time with Hock by the river but it would involved a lot of concrete, rope and someone losing their teeth and finger to get rid of evidence. Sad to see leeds have no picked up as I thought. Wigan was very poor result. I would love lennon and beccio if possible they seem to be low risk with money and must improve team surely? With current team I would love to see diamond dropped in favour of wing back system with bryam and maybe even adian white providing pace and width with three centre havles behind. and cook/sotlh/adryan all fitghting it out of the attacking/hole role behind a front two with two anchor midfielders behind. It worked for me on my S''a manager game and that is proper realistic so must be worth a shot. Happy new year and up the table we go MOT

Welcome back son!

BW
Mwaaaah
Good to have to back matey boy, and good news about your family.
We just need you to tell us where you are hiding Andy MOT then we can all be reunited

He might be in the river wearing conctrete boots with hockaday

Just a quick question. Why if we had a strong bench did we only use it in the last ten minutes & only once!

I fear for us I really do!

10 Jan 2015 16:59:28
Sounded a bit unlucky today, but we have now only scored one goal from open play in the last seven games.
I don't think we will go down but we need to start scoring again soon!
Why Morison if you're going to put one up front on his own then from a skill point of view surely Antenucci is the better option!

10 Jan 2015 14:59:40
Our top 3 goalscorers are Antenucci, Doukara & Mowatt. None of them starting today. I'm sure Redfern knows what he's doing.

1-0 up
Im sure you are right!
100% in control???

10 Jan 2015 14:05:24
Dropping your best striker and bringing in your worst! Big big gamble for Redders imo

Yeh i'd have left Antenucci as the one up front, blustery conditions could lead to some interesting defending.

Bolton will be a diff animal this time
That was my only live match in 15 years and it was a lucky win
Are all coaches and managers blinkered?
Bolton wiped the floor with us play wise second half but couldn't score!

10 Jan 2015 13:27:05
So where are these loan signings before Bolton game?

10 Jan 2015 09:16:33
Team I'd like to see against Bolton today.
Silvestri
Byram, Del Fabro, Cooper, Beradi
Sloth, Cook, Mowatt, Montenegro
Adryan
Antenucci.
Adryan must be due a goal, surely, or someone, anyone, please!

Good team there Danum, but doubt it will be Redders

Would never play Mowatt and Cook together at least from the start. Not yet anyway. Two lightweight and predictable.

I agree with the adryan situation, let him float around behind the striker and create, free roll!
STW

As 90 mins goes. The Starters not too bad.
Main Course is bloody awful,
And we normally end up looking like puddings.

Well the selection is BIZARRE. This has got to be Morisons last chance, and if it goes tits up, might be Redders
