my reply was to another post mate about losing 20-0 / losing 2-0 - i see your point about putting 2 upfront - how long was left when we went 4-4-2?
well, there is an argument that we conceded another within that short time...so how many would it have been had we gone 4-4-2 earlier?
rigger and now a rigger/sooty my friend thanks to the wonders of multi-skilling! just found out am getting my third sometime in jan so might get closer to tarn with the posting if im lucky but i quite fancy ndt at kinloss if possible.
Mmm interesting that one. I was Air Radio back in the day. But then they split them out to Air Comms and Air Radar. What is it now? Avionics?
Yes its avionics but they are now getting multi-skilled with aircraft electrics too and v-versa, all about saving money unfortunately as we don't even get an extra qualification in our "new" trade. Scandulous when you think about it!
What an amazing insight from someone who was sat at his computer while the game was going off. There was nothing negative about Daveys tactics,he knew we have to defend like mad and the first half saw us make plenty of breaks forward. How people can slag off their own players on a game they weren't there to see is beyond me.Try getting behind your team.
Don't know what else SD could have done with the squad that was available to him tonight. He was up against a good PL side and with a badly depleted squad. Mostto started up front on his own as we tried to contain them, which we did superbly for an hour. Mostto is quite clearly not a lone front man and if the game was in a few weeks I am sure Christensen would have got the shout, but he is not fit enough yet. Only other option was Coulson, who is nowhere near ready IMO. He could have gone to 2 up front earlier but the tiring midfield would have been overrun (lets not forget Togwell and McCann have barely played any football this season). I for one am glad he didn't go gung ho and lose heavily as this could have a detrimental effect on the team. As it is we put on a creditable performance, against a good PL side, and with a weakened team. Couldn't have asked for much more.
RE: negative bloody fans.... Followed the reds for 26 years me owd and like most on here want the reds to do well in EVERY game they play. I'm far from negative i can assure thy, just get pissed off when the reds are losing and still insist on 1 up front, never gonna get owt that way! In a 1 off cup comp why didnt davey go 2 up front for the last 20 mins? Now that is NEGATIVE football, this is a point of view of a highly optimistic POSITIVE fan who resents off the cuff slurrs from people who dunt even know me, think before typing lad in future will tha!
