Garcia out

[ozzygull]

Calm down everyone, it was only Vulture. He has his little moments every now and again.

Couple of observations:

-I'd be interested to know which of those slating the "negative football" supposedly played last night were actually at the game and which have made this judgment based on radio commentary. I thought it was far from our worst away performance of the season. We displayed plenty of attacking intent in the first half in particular, and got lots of joy down the wings. I rather wish LuaLua was in a better run of form as they looked so vulnerable to pace at the back, and we were beating the full backs every time. The crosses into the box, several times, weren't quite hitting the mark. We also hit the bar with a header and our corners occasionally looked slightly more threatening than they have done in previous games. Yes, we faded a bit in the second half, but that was always going to happen as Wednesday probably got a bollocking at half time for looking so mediocre.

-actually digging a thread out would probably make me lose the will to live, but I distinctly remember plenty of threads at times last season about Gus Poyet's "negative football". Anyone who went to that away game at Ashton Gate last season will know exactly what I mean, and that was when we actually had a few fit striking options. People used to moan loads about Poyet's perceived lack of killer instinct (quite possibly the same ones who are unfavourably comparing Oscar now).

-Oscar can demand all the dynamic, attacking football that he wants, but if Will Buckley breaks, unaccompanied into the penalty box and slots one comfortably into the goalkeeper's midriff, or Lingard continues to shoot with all the venom of a sleeping My Little Pony, I don't know quite what anyone expects the manager to do about it (WITHIN the confines of the current squad).

I felt a lot worse after the Ipswich result, for some reason. Not sure why that is, as typically an injury time goal is all the more painful. Maybe it's down to the other results. Feels like a let off.

Spot on.

Some people on here are unreal, give the man a chance he has been in the job 9 months NINE!!! But no point in telling he ones who don't have a clue because they don't listen because their views are the only ones that matter.

If you don't like what you are seeing don't go, nobody is forcing you. After all the problems from the end of last season till now, I don't think we could have hoped for much more, I mean 3 points of 6th place with a game in hand terrible just awful.

 

[LamieRobertson]

Is 37 thumbs down a record?

 

[Cadiz Seagull]

As an aside, do you live near Jaranilla de la vera? My wife's sister and husband retired there (from Chelmsford!) in 2004 and are here next week. They've already invited us over again for Los Escobazos in December - now that's a wild night if you've never been, they managed to burn through some overhead power cables and much of the tarmac a few years back.

I live about an hour and a half south, in Trujillo, but we sell properties in and around Jarandilla. I have a lady called Caroline who works for us who lives in Cuacos and looks after our properties in La Vera - a very beautiful and largely undiscovered part of Spain, especially by Brits. Maybe your sister-in-law knows her?

Los Escobazos is something else. It makes Lewes Bonfire look tame - flying turnips everywhere!

So because i'm critical of our style of play i should just stop supporting BHAFC?

Barnes was unavailable for Bristol City away, CMS injured first half. We played the rest of the game with a tired Ulloa. That's not ac great deal of striking options tbf.

 

[PWA]

Surely judge him at the end of the season?

Not when we are 3 points off the Play-Offs!

Where have I said don't support us?

I said if you don't like what your'e seeing don't go, that's all. We have to back Garcia, until the times comes when Bloom doesn't. Yes I agree sometimes the style of play can be frustrating but I know I would rather watch that than football we have played in the past.

More than we had last night though?

I was simply saying that there were plenty of complaints about Poyet's style at times, and that game was one that particularly illustrated it.

For me , it has always been about next season .Playoffs or dare I say it ,promotion was always going to be a bonus. Oscar has only been in the country as long as he has been in the job. That is not a long time to climatise to English football , The Championship , players who play in the Championship ...etc
It has been a massive learning curve for him , and one which ultimatley will benefit both he and us. It is no suprise that more than a few of our recent signings have the stamp of approval of NJ. It makes sense that Oscar will not have known to many of the players offered to him.
Next season will be our season . Oscar will know a lot more about our culture . He will be up to date on the storylines in Eastenders , he wil have the sampled the delights of Yorkshire pudding and Harveys ale. More importantly he will have more of a grasp of English football ,the players and the Championship.
Next season , watch us go.

To be honest, I don't know why I quoted you I'm tired

It would certainly be an eye-opener for LB et al, and it's not the Pope they're burning either - it's you! 4yo kids with their own flaming "mini-brooms" hitting you across the back of your legs, we were well warned but I just couldn't believe it how it developed throughout the evening. Total madness; I loved it but not so my wife.

Your right about Jarandilla and the Brits, long may it continue imo. Seems there's a lot of people come down from Madrid to their second house/apartment at the w/e?
When they moved out there were only two other English speakers in the town; my sister in law is now Spanish fluent and seeing her gossip in the butchers, hairdressers etc is a sight to behold.

The bought a finca (with a shed on a rock) in 2006 and have turned the shed into a decent but slightly quirky 3 bed house (I think it may still be classed as a shed though). We usually get asked out when the grapes and figs or olives need picking.

 

[Grombleton]

Is 37 thumbs down a record?

Would have been higher, but somehow he got 5 thumbs up.

 

[Footsoldier]

Would have been higher, but somehow he got 5 thumbs up.

It's 40 now

 

[Grombleton]

It's 40 now

It's almost a shame that he's not around to see it.

 

[Triggaaar]

Vulture out

I was only joking

 

[James Bond's body double]

Would the same people still want him out , IF we made it up via the playoff's I doubt it very much.

 

[Machiavelli]

****ing clueless boring football....over rated by many on here....very poor **** off back to Spain you over rated **** ...

Not doing very well are you Vulture?

 

[edna krabappel]

Not doing very well are you Vulture?

I don't think he'll be answering you.

He's the Lee Cattermole of this board. More bans than a Church of England vicar.

I've not been banned yet. Any tips on a fast-track to a holiday, you old witch?
