The very definition of a poacher..... We need to have a game plan regardless of who is striker, or tailored to them.

like I have said, there is a massive gap between NPL and HAL, if we have a promising youngster why don't we loan the lad out to the Indonesian league or somewhere like Vietnam or Thailand, where they pay more for their players than we do?

yeah questions need to be asked.

Calm down mate, in the global football realm they are nobodies, that's where we are on the global stage, I couldn't care less for them, other than we have upgraded.

Agree.

So players before club in your view?

Agree

I liked what he did last night, it's fine if you disagree, but he is not the kind of player to hold up the ball, he is a poacher like Maclaren, the question is can Joyce come up with a game plan.

He did allright, if he get's more game time there he could flourish. He is a totally different kind of striker to what Bruno is, you can't expect the same.

But that's it, we aren't playing the City way, the victards play the city way more than we do ffs.

Yes I agree. But I wouldn't call 2 falling's out as problematic, sometimes people don't get along or click. It's his coaching that's problematic.

And that is down to his coaching and brand of football he wants us to play, nothing to do with Bruno.

Kilkenny - Strange Brattan - I think he has been good for Brattan, he couldn't get a game in one of the poor championship teams, maybe he needs a kick up the ass every now and then. I have complained about Brattan, all of us have. We see his potential and he is just surfing the proverbial wave and not getting there, last night he was immense. Caceras - Cue? Bruno - Who know's. Timmy - Really? Valkanis - Yes because he wants to play a different brand of football. Montemurro - Yes he wants to play a different brand of football, I wouldn't mind him being head coach next year, he is doing amazing things at Arsenal.

I thought Wales did well as a shoehorn, I think he could do quite well, I am growing to like the lad. 'Having no other recognised striker also reduces pressure on Bruno' and that there folks is the caveat.

How do you know it's the opposite? We don't know what's going on behind the scenes, maybe he is being the voice of reason and standing up to Joyce about how he wants the team to play, none of us know. I just think jumping to conclusions over Bruno is a bit much, I have no problems with it. What I have problems with is the the style of football Joyce wants us to play, it belongs in the 1980's lower leagues.

I'm not saying that, but he hasn't been the same after his injury and if he has become lazy or set in his ways I couldn't care less if he is dropped. As someone else said, no player should be bigger than the club.

I don't think that's it, he wants players who are determined, but it's the style of football he wants to play that grinds my gears.

Remember a few weeks ago when people wanted Bruno out? If he is being a bad influence or not performing then so be it, I have no quibbles with him being out IMHO and if it's part of the plan to fix our club culture all the better. The problem is we have had 2 good performances, one against the victards and last nights game, other than that the football has been insipid. What got me was Joyces' post match comments when he said he thought we had played better in earlier games and we had just taken our chances in this one! I thought we looked a million times better in this game, better off the ball movement and intensity. That is my problem with Joyce, the brand of football he is promoting hasn't been effective and he is blind to the fact. Credit though to the lads last night, there were some cracking goals scored.

One positive was Wales, I thought he did pretty well and had one of his best games. Blinding obvious negatives for me was too much space between the lines, at times there must have been 40 metres between defence and midfield, or midfield and attack. Lack of movement. players out of position, I even think Atkinson has been shoehorned onto the wing, he looks a lot better central.

Bloody Wellington look better than us, fucking Wellington.

Atm anything above 8th is looking like a good result, it's not looking great.

Outsung by Sydney, the only peep (or parp) I heard from us was the trumpet.

It's a coaching problem, I agree.

Not sure about his jumping height.

Are we trialing a new striker?
