What is everybody's problem?

CMS tries hard but misses too many easy chances. He needs to play in a front two with somebody who is the opposite, who doesn't score good goals, but who never misses an easy chance. But that's not going to happen with us, and while it may not suit him, it suits us very nicely to have 2 reserve strikers of the calibre of CMS and Hoskins.

What's my problem? I've a hacking cough but need to get well before I fly out to Venice* with my girlfriend. Apart from that, in the words of Buck from Huntsville, Texas "it's all good, buddy"


*classic NSC holiday name-drop alert.

hope you have better luck than me when I went there.

[El Sid]

No problem here.
With the two latest additions we now have a very good squad.
CMS and Hoskins will get their chance over the next 21 games.

 

[Silent Bob]

Either of them are decent options to have on the bench, what's the problem.

Can't believe I actually laughed at that, but I did.

Most football fans reckon they have a pretty good knowledge of the game as most fans have kicked a ball about and watched football live and on the tv. We don't hesitate to slag off former professionals acting as pundits on the industry that employed them for many years. We criticise our team and manager during a game but we have no idea of the tactics and game-plan that has been worked hard on during the week. We are paying customers in an industry that we all think we know how it works but in truth most of us haven't really got a clue. We wing it most of the time, using phrases and expressions that the pro's use, without really grasping the true meaning. How many of us could dip into a minor league game and spot real potential. Why do Football clubs only use scouts who have played the game to a decent level. Why? Because they know what they are looking for and understand the game. Football generates opinion and everyone is entitled to one but you are attending a football match to be entertained and hopefully see your side win. A lot of fans now think it is obligatory to deliver an expert critique on the game as soon as it is over. Some fans think they know better than the manager. Well lets see them have a go.
I work in a particular industry and consider that I have a decent knowledge of that industry. I wouldn't presume to pass expert opinion on an industry that I don't work in and know little about. Yet, I am as guilty as the next man in chuntering on about every facet of football as if I am a world expert.
The truth is most of us are kidding ourselves. We don't really know that much about Professional football. You can go to the cinema twice a week but it doesn't make you an expert on the film industry.
BHA fans can slag off certain players but some of them wouldn't know a good player from a dung-beetle.
Leave it to the experts and if they can't help, ask me.

I was just about to write exactly that.

Don't worry, Aseros, you will soon be assimilated.

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

My only doubt to your argument Mo - is that the amount of time we all spend reading, thinking, back in the day playing, coaching, talking etc about the game - we should all be world experts. I sometimes wonder whether there was a more worthy outlet for the vast amount of time and energy spent on the game.

Your thesis does wholly apply to refs and their assistants. I am the first to tell the lino he is having a nightmare - but I do appreciate it from the sharp end of youth football - it is a bloomin' nightmare task.

EDIT: Bugger, too slow, someone else has said the same thing.

I've seen several dung beetles quicker than Dobbie--------imo

 

[Medwayseagull]

Yes, but has already been established on other threads that 'Barnes' is a general term for every player. No matter what somebody else does, it is Barnes that gets the blame as people do not go to specsavers often enough.

I have heard George Boyd slagging him off .

 

[Weststander]

Haven't seen much any anti-Hoskins stuff.....

This.

How could you criticise someone who's hardly ever started.
