Ooofff awkward. Trying to make a point about being a manager then calling Sparrow a holding midfielder. Kinda discredits your whole post

This thread is from the same person who has been berating Barnes for nearly two seasons!
But hey... what does Gus know!

Glad you got it out of your system, I should think. Back in the real world, Gus doesn't give two hoots what you think. Neither does Tony Bloom nor Taricco nor Oatway.

Well done for stating the bleedin obvious.
You obviosuly do though. Its a fan forums, where fans can chat. Thats the point of NSC.
Should we not discuss it.
Maybe we should start a petition to Bozza to only allow positive thoughts, and an instant life ban to anyone who doesn't give 10/10 rating on the ratings thread.
I thought this was England, not f***ing North Korea.

I don't care. Really, I don't. I am so chilled right now. I just think you've got big issues if you get so worked up about what Gus is doing wrong.
I wonder how Gus would have done without a Tony Bloom with deep pockets?
He's a good manager, but still a long way to go to get beyond that.
I have a real question about some of his signings, particularly loan signings (why did we sign that South American goalie?), and his team selection is often bizarre. As the OP said, why play no wingers when you have three very good ones on the bench and you finally decide to play two strikers?
Our inability to score goals away from home is a big worry. In fact our overall goal-scoring performance this season has been poor. And that is after spending how much on two strikers (Hoskins and CMS)? I also strongly believe he didn't give Hoskins an opportunity to show what he can do.
We are in 7th place because we have an excellent defence, not for any other reason.

I have ben waiting all season for our outstanding wingers to be given the chance to really take the game to the opposition and give us a hatfull of goals, now we are out of the promotion race give us a rousing finish to the end of season.

We managed to win league one without spending much money, so I don't buy the whole Bloom idea.

I think that our biggest downfall has been the number of times we have started well and our wingers have had the beating of the full backs for the first 10 =15 mins but then we have eased off and let them off. The classic being against Southampton Portsmouth and I think it was Derby were a full back got a yellow card early and then we never capitalised on it and played against them.
