Ritchie CAN Keep Us Up

Get Some Experienced Players In This Week, Some Of The Football We Been Playing This Season Has Been Fantastic, No-one Can Complain, 2 or 3 Experienced Players This Week Should Hopefully Give Us A Good Squad Up Until The January Tranfer Window Opens

Lets Get Behind Them Next Week v Ipswich & Southend

COME ON YOU REDS !!!

 

Thanks to Gordon Shepherd, I think that has been spoiled.

We'll need a new manager first.

 

agree totally, the boo boys startin to get up my jacksy!! ritchie is still the man for the job!

 

All the moaning is doing my head in, especially from this board. (Allot of the moaners appear to be newcomers too going by there number of posts!!!!).

 

totally agree... well apart from me that is.. im behind the team and management all the way.. hense my other posts lol

 

Fair play, the league position doesn't lie BUT allot of clubs are quick to sack the manager and see no turn around. For me, there is no one better out there at the moment. Foreget Megson, O'Leary, Robson, Hoddle, Dowie etc THEY WONT COME HERE!!! Come to think of it, I'd prob only want one of those here.

AR fecked up at start of season by sticking by the current squad. He could have added to it and still given the previous seasons squad a bash at this league. I think he's realised it recent, hence statements that we need that target man and going for a CB.

 

He should have brought experienced players in before the season started, not waited until everything went pear shaped he's clueless and passionless let him go.

 

least i got sum1 with sens who realises them managers wouldt come to tarn

 

Oh we would attract someone, but probably another Parkin from bottom league!!!! Come to think of it, lets get the ex Brentford manager who left today!!!

 

LOL!!! stick with what we've got ther no1 any better available, unless we decide to go for paul ince??NT lol

 

There are plenty of good managers and coaches who would jump at the chance of managing BFC.

I don't know where you get the idea that Ritchie is the only man for the job.
This season has been a shambles all along.As for us playing the best football we have seen in years thats ********. We have played a style of attacking football, that hasn't been successful since 1967, without a solid defensive base.

The players simply are not good enough to play the way Ritchie wants and he is unable to adopt a playing strategy that suits the players. A good manager plays a system which suites the players at his disposal Ritchie plays a system and expects the players to fit into it. The result of that has been a the worst run I can remember in my 45+ years of watching the Reds.

a certain amount of truth in that.

 

Alleluia

What did the moaners expect?

Us to be in good form all season?

We knew we'll struggle this season and it wouldnt be easy to stay up

 

Can we have your considered opinion on the best system of play and the team you would pick out of the ones at our disposal.I seem to remember that last year you said we couldn't get promoted.And who are the good managers we might attract who are currently holding their P45

 

Well, may be we could play a single striker say Nardiello with two wide men, Disco and McIndoe.

When the ball is on the right wing with Disco, McIndoe cuts inside and supports Nads. Howard would play in the hole behind Nads and get in to the box as and when required. When McIndoe has the ball on the left Dev cuts in and Supports Nads, Howard again getting into the box.

To prevent the midfield being over run we could play with two holding players Togwell, and maybe Wroe or even pushing Hecky into the midfield. These two holding players protecting the back four of Hassell,Reid,Kay and Austin/Hecky. Howard would drop back when we are defending.

This gives us a Dutch style 4-3-3 which would allow us to play with two wingers without isolating the two central midfielders and giving the back four a bit better protection.

This would of course require a certain amount of coaching to take place on the training ground to educate the players in how the system works.

4-2-4 aint working so why not give 4-3-3 a go?

What have we got to lose?
Not rocket science is it.

 

I think you need your bumps felt

I realy do.

 

would that be the same Devaney...

that consistently fails to get in the box to attack the many crosses that are delivered from the left and have a distinct tendency to be headed clear unchallenged or in the keepers arms? The same crosses that Richards is never within 15 yards of? And when Devaney DOES get there, are we to put our hopes on one of the worst finishers at the club to stick it in the net?

And Nardi alone up front? Good system dude...

Still, we DO need to try something different, I grant you. I also agree that it isn't just a case of personnel, some more tactical acumen would not go amiss. If it aint working, you have to try some sort of change, and we're just not seeing that from AR, the majority of substitutions are like for like.

 

RE: would that be the same Devaney...

To be fair, he was asked to offer an alternative using the squad that we have available at the moment. I'm sure, given the opportunity, he would replace more than one of the players he mentioned, as would most of us. However, it is at least an alternative to what gets rolled out every week, home or away, rain or shine, by our current "manager".
