Re: Given it some thought over last few weeks on as sub against boro, with 20 to go. straight red for tackle against butters, out for 3 games.
Re: Given it some thought over last few weeks And we were bloody brilliant v hudders. V unlucky to only draw. Flicker saved us and deserves some slack cut. We will be right.
You have been on here slamming Flicker, as is your right, for a while now. Your submissions are not helped by asserting erroneous facts. Your assertion that we were playing for a draw at the end at Huddersfield whilst we thought at the time that we were going down is ridiculous Will you retract your allegation that Flitcroft encouraged Steele to keep the ball in circumstances where he thought we were going down? Do you need to have us think that Flitcroft and the team work their balls off for months, then draw stumps 5 minutes from the end of the season and stop trying knowing they are still going down? Everybody watching the match dying quickly or sat screaming and sweating watching Sky knew exactly what was happening Where is the ultimate idiocy? Look in the mirror mate
So the fact that the messiah is leading the club thru its worst start to a season for 50 years is it has to be conveniently brushed under the carpet and i repeat 6 wins since march is it jog on and take the manager with you.
TBH if it had been another team other than Barnsley I would have wanted Peterborough to score and would have thought "serves them right", don't like to see that kind of thing.
'The Reds are languishing at the foot of the Championship table after their worst start to a league season for nearly 50 years. Just five points from a possible 33 so far tell it’s own sorry story, with 27 goals leaked in 11 games.' That just tells its own story, worst start to a season since I've been watching the REDS and I've seen a few bad ones in the 60's and 70's. Whats gone wrong ? Flitcroft hasn't yet put a team out that is capable of putting 2 or 3 wins together ,which is needed to take the pressure off the team and give them a confidence boost. I think he could be on borrowed time given Crynes record on sacking managers ,lose to Boro and he could be off
We won't lose. But neither would they sack him if we did. Before our big derby live on TV? No chance. However, were we to lose both, I think it would be toodle pip. I hope and think we'll get at least 4 points, and thus he stays. Sack sack sack sack sack. Sick sick sick sick sick of it. But it's down to him. We do have the squad. Playing Bobby would be a good start..
[SUP][SUP][/SUP][/SUP] I'd rather we had a few more points on the board and alot fewer goals conceded but we haven't, we are where we are and you can't ignore the disasterous first quarter of the season, thats why the 'the sack' question is prevalant at the moment. Flitcroft may not be sacked after a loss at home to Boro but after 2 weeks rest/training/regrouping a loss must surely sound major alarm bells in the board room. Losing to Wendies at home is a sackable offence no matter where we are in the league !!
Frustration is probably the best word to sum up the BFC fan base ( of course, we wil always have the odd few extreme views). Flicker galvanized the team, supporters and Club last season.....he saved us whichever way you look at it. Having asked these plays to run their blood to water during that safety run-in, his plan was to strengthen and a so give these players a chance this season (which many of them deserved). These players haven't stepped up to the plate, flicker has seen this and has now put plans in pace to rectify it. He's doing his job in a very tough sequence of opening fixtures. The only aspect I think he could improve on, is playing a steady and assertive formation.....4-1-3-2 Other than that, keep at it Flicker, you deserve to be here at BFC leading this great club of ours.
I hope we can keep a Manager for more than 5 minutes. John Steele managed us for years and achieved little bar a promotion to Div, 3. Angus seed managed us at a time when I felt the directors were ruining the club, but he stayed on until he died. Nowadays, all we get from fans is get rid. If I owned BFC I would give the Manager a five year contract. The type of contract I had in the oil industry.
