I of course agree with pretty much most of the comments expressed so far on not
only Forrest but also last 3 games.
One thing I did do last game was watch Smith up front, whilst I agree he has no
pace and limited skill I did think that he was able to knock a ball down with
his head on several occasions. the problem was the service to him was shocking
most of the time or he was on his back foot and therefore unable to control the
ball. Worst of all and that which got me the most was that when he did knock
the ball down there was NEVER anyone there to capitalise so therefore the whole
fecking point is lost.
As some of you have pointed out, I don't mind if we lose 5 - 0 every game but
at least give me 100% effort. Basic skills like passing, controlling the ball,
looking around and moving into space are learned on the bloody play ground
never mind training ground. We have some guys who think the job is half done
because of our league position. They need to get a grip or ship out.
I have wondered where Diouff is this season, I guess he is sulking as he isn't
getting a game and of course he has been away whilst the world dies. Whilst he
doesn't have any pace he is the only guy I have watched since he joined us who
has that extra second on the ball and shows any class - I would rather we
searched for a 'Strachan like' character in January and a holding midfielder to
steady the ship. We need a strong calming influence who can grab the ball hold
it look up and see what we have as options.
This division is so tough to get out of and we are there or thereabouts without
showing anything decent since Birmingham (and they were shite). I don't care
where we finish but I do expect the players to reward a returning and always
enthusiastic support home and away.
Not being from Yorkshire (forgive me) I'm gonna try to do the unusual and be
positive going into 2014.
BTW and I cant answer to the list here but I have first hand knowledge of the
DAB station owned by KB and the recent new appointments... there will be some
interesting developments soon guys. erm I can't say more on list on that at the
moment apart from I think it is gonna be damn good....
Anyway, cheers guys and girls, here's to a positive transfer market in January
and for us to be there or thereabouts at end of season. Happy New Year from
Oman, raising a glass to all our friends past and present.
Andy - MOT - love this list me.
