  1. Vince McLean

    Gabriel almost definitely” moving on this transfer window

    Presume he's not out of contract and a fee will apply? He has pace and aggression - and sometimes a 50p-shaped foot, but I wish he'd stay. Another one dicked about by NC - and FFS, playing CJ ahead of him when both are fit is farcical.

    Has the end to the season saved Critchley?

    I'm sure too that he's here well into next season. I hope he uses the close season to go on a coaching course aimed at helping players pass to each other and move into space to receive the ball from teammates. Facetious ... yes.

    Its not just on the manager this

    100% spot-on analysis - BFC coaching team .... wake up and smell the coffee FFS.

    Its not just on the manager this

    Loads of great stuff in this string. For me Critchley has been found out. He came with a reputation as a great coach and kept us in the Champ with a weak squad at that level. He then crashed and burned at the other clubs, and we took him back - fair enough we thought, biting our tongues. But...

    It’s Not The Players, It’s The Manager.

    We're all jumping the 'season over' gun because we're bored senseless with our football. There are so many more questions than answers. How many of the squad are good enough, how many can we get rid of? Hard if they're in contract - I doubt many clubs would be busting a gut to sign Shayne...

    Looks like a large pitch, and it seems to suit us.

    Would love to see the following 442 set up - fullbacks to overlap. Gabriel Pennington Marv Husband Morgan Byers Carey Coulson Kouassi Dembele

    Is that the worst decision ever

    Suspect many potential refs are put off by the thuggery, abuse and violence in the local leagues that have to be progressed through to get to the EFL etc. So we're left with large proportion of psychos who are / were prepared to take it. Ex-players would make the best refs.

    Byers

    Recall someone saying he's out of contract in the summer, and a free agent, so hopefully Shef Wed won't resign him. We should sign him if we can afford him.

    He's been one of our best outfield players too this season - the number of times our defence pass back to him for distribution.

    It's a hard listen too with the Poundland Punits - jeez - Brett having a mare.

    Perhaps the threats from IS have come true and they've taken out a tram?

    I think NC's lineup changes are simply designed to trick us into thinking there's some kind of game plan. Beesley & Lavery over Kouassi when he's playing a winger (of sorts) in CJ where he expects crosses. Makes no sense - then again it's non-league driftwood ffs.

    CJ Hamilton

    If he just did what he's good at every time the chance presented himself he might be more appreciated. If he gets the ball wide in the opposing half, he needs to pin his ears back, skin the defender/s break into the box / sling over a cross. If he gets tackled we won't mind if he's caught...

    CJ Hamilton

    We've several players who've been awful for a few years now and CJ tops the list. Seems like a nice guy, but there's no room for sentiment. That NC starts him so regularly says a lot - IMHO.

    No Sonny Carey thread?

    He played really well along with Byers in the first half. He's an attacking midfield player who should be told to just surge forward and make things happen. I still think we need to be stronger in midfield and dominate possession - we seem obsessed with wide players and the back 3 / 5. I recall...

    Worst strike pairing in memory?

    As said on another thread, I reckon Kouassi has real potential if trained, developed, and coached properly. He did ok yesterday - a target man unit. The others are rapidly going backwards.

    I reckon many think like me, that he did ok - and I mean ok, not great. But he has potential if coached, trained and developed properly. He's a real unit.

    With a proper fitness plan and a good coach to develop him, I reckon Kouassi could be very decent ... as for the other three
