Last Sunday Gus said......".....

http://www.theargus.co.uk/sport/10218553.Poyet_vows_to_stick_with_front_pair/?ref=mc ...... Albion manager Gus Poyet has pledged to persevere with a strike partnership of Leo Ulloa and Craig Mackail-Smith.

Thoughts?

He also said that Vicente was better coming off the bench. It's called psychology.

Whats your point somerset?

 

[Greg Bobkin]

Manager in "not giving away too much to the opposition" shocker!

Tanno said Vicente would "probably be on the bench". Gus said "Ulloa is very tired" before last night and yet he was on for the duration.

Like some people on here, sometimes the management at BHAFC don't actually mean what they say.

One other thought is that I'm quite impressed you've managed a post that DOESN'T slag off Ashley Barnes. Well done.

He said one thing, did another, we needed a goal, CMS stayed on the bench, we had one sub left to make,..... that is all.

Sorry if my views offend your rose tinted sensibilities, shall I change my approach to suit you.... answer:.. like fook I will.

Grumbling goon.

Maybe Toby should be given a chance from the bench

Now this is a good point ( unlike the some of the empty responses above)..... this guy made good progress last year, was given another contract, and then stayed in the DS.

Where did I ever say I was offended? You asked for thoughts, I gave mine.

Rose-tinted? Not really. I just happen to have a different opinion of a player to you. You make that opinion clear on a very regular basis, that's all

To be honest, I think we all get the message.

Perhaps Gus decided that CMS would not be ideal against Blackburn's type of defenders?

Two goals in the last 15 games suggests he is lacking confidence in front of goal, and therefore an alternative approach would be better.

 

[portslade seagull]

Can't see the point of the DS if they never get a chance ... JFC is another showed real promise last season but not seen this one , surely a bench warmer at least

You started a thread just make that point?

I asked for views ( you know, a discussion board), just highlighting the conflict between what he said on Sunday and what he did on Tuesday.... nothing more, nothing less.

I certainly thought he may have been given 10-15 last night to seek that all important winner.

As has also been pointed out Taricco also said, on Monday, that Vicente would be better coming off the bench.

It has been clear for a long time that Poyet believes in keeping the opposition guessing until the moment they see his team sheet an hour before kick-off. Players injured or not, players receiving international clearance or not - he'll keep anything under wraps, if he can, to try and gain an advantage.

yes we needed a goal. Thats why he kept him on the bench.

I agree, perhaps he was not 100% in training and therefore Gus wanted his fully fit for next Tuesday at Cardiff.

It wasn't as if we were not taking chances last night, we have been unlucky this season with keepers have blinding performances against us.

You are not wrong there, it seems as though they all have MOM performances, is it something to do with the big crowd, big atmosphere that 'gees' them up? Appletion mentioned the crowd and atmosphere in his interview somewhere, may be a factor.
