He certainly looked very lively.
Looks like a goalscoring version of CMS. Works the back four endlessly, looking for scraps. Also agree that it is highly unlikely. Apparently our sights are set on a Div 2 striker but it appears we are in quite a queue. All the scouts have been watching this boy...
Up until 20-25 years ago, the professional footballer relied on bonuses to improves his wages. In the 1980's BHA players were roughly on £400 per week but a win bonus could double their money. That was worth fighting for. An incentive to bust a gut for a result. Players were hungrier and more...
Well well....I didn't think anything in football could surprise me anymore but this one takes a bit of believing. I hope for Barnton's sake it works out but that familiar phrase..." it'll all end in tears "...springs immediately to mind.
Reading approached and under the agreement, Gus was able to speak to them but chose to stay
I think you will find that Gus agreed to join Reading and asked them for a short period of time to 'sleep on it ', just to be sure it was the right move for him. Reading said they would draw up the...
Nothing surprising there.
Those in the Gus fan club, seem to ignore the fact that he was doing exactly the same at Brighton. Eventually, his ego just ran away with him and he saw nothing wrong in having two meetings at Reading, whilst our season was still going on. He didn't see anything wrong...
You might but the man that really matters wouldn't.
As for class manager, Poyet has no class. He is boorish, petulant and self-centred. In managerial terms, he is immature and unlikely to improve. Those that claim it was the best football seen at BHA under Poyet, clearly don't go back very far.
He did well at Division One level and consolidated in the Championship.
If you get the formula right, you can head straight for the PL, as did Norwich and Soton. Lambert and Adkins managed it, Poyet didn't. His career at BHA was good but not outstanding. ( Mullery did better, in a much...
How were his performances ' comfortably PL standard ' ?
The standard within the Championship is well below that of the top division. Its like saying a batsman who is piling up the runs in county cricket is showing 'test match form '
You only truly know how a player is going to perform at a...
Stockdale has made inexplicable mistakes all over the penalty area. He has rushed to the edge of his area, with no chance of getting there. He has rolled the ball to the opposition. He has positioned himself poorly for free kicks. He has pushed saves straight back to the opposition for goals. He...
Really....REALLY!!!!.....you can't be serious.
I think you are suffering from a disorder that afflicts a number of BHA fans where Gus Poyet is concerned. Its called ' selective memory disorder ' They remember the free flowing wins against the likes of Blackpool and Barnsley ( poor sides ) the...
Chelsea told him that in their opinion he would not be able to carve out a career at the highest level. They offered him another year to keep learning. After some loan spells, he fell on his feet at BHA. He was loved here and played every week. He was well paid and he and his wife loved the...
Thats exactly my point FG. It seems like all the effort is being directed at home games. Its a very dangerous strategy, particularly if we slip up at Millwall, Wigan and Rotherham....and can any BHA fan who witnessed that dross on Tuesday, say with any confidence that we are going to pick up...
....is the wrong answer.
CH will set up for 0-0 as usual. The players will be languid and disinterested, as usual. Millwall will have two goal efforts and score from a deflected free-kick. ( Our players deflect more shots in to their own net than any side I have ever seen ) This will be enough...
