Beckford/Cole

Bridcutt doesn't count then? Ridiculous - he's arguably our best player wins more than his fair share of challenges in midfield, but because he's on a different part of the pitch, holding off his challenge doesn't count - come off it.

He was playing out of position.

You can't compare how a striker is good enough because he gave Bridcutt a bit of a run around..

Murray is what we need. And we all know who f***ed that up...

Still, Miller was up against Bridcutt, the size difference in that especially when Bridcutt was playing centre back for the last 10.

Makes no difference, Bridcutt was there to do a job, sure AEA is more physical, but Bridcutts presence is not to be under-estimated and also Greer was there and Miller lost him, fairly easily. When the balll bounced off Dobbie and CMS for the upteenth time towards the end we were just crying out for somebody with a bit of physique. It comes to something when our biggest aerial threat is Ashley Barnes.

To be honest, I'm still really hacked off after yesterday. We have a real lack of imagination in the team. Hammond and Bridcutt are more holding style of players for me, Crofts bombs forward a bit more, but primarily also is more of a holding sort.

Of course you can because it isn't just about Bridcutt - Greer was on the pitch as well, it was only in the South West corner when Bridcutt challenged him, Bridge was helping out as well and we still struggled.

Emile Heskey would have been a great physical presence, shame we never got him.

Yep, agree with you there: Beckford, Heskey, Cole. Someone to put the frighteners into the opposition defence. Playoff/automatic promotion jigsaw piece I reckon.

Have to agree with you. Biggest screw-up this club has probably ever made. If Murray had been with us last season we'd have made the playoffs. This season we'd be in the top two.

Whilst I think selling Murray was a mistake I think to say it's the biggest screw ever up might be slightly overexaggerating? Selling a controlling interest in the club to Bill Archer might dwarf that decision by about a million percent I'd say.

 

[Munkfish]

We have the answer in BUCKLEY.

 

[Arkwright]

So are we saying play two strikers up front and change the current formation?

 

[Ninja Elephant]

We have the answer in BUCKLEY.

People keep saying that, and people are wrong.

People keep saying the same old things time and time again. "We all know who let Murray go", "We need a big targetman", blah blah blah. It's boring, REALLY boring now. Nobody seems to have anything new to say. Even the same names are being bandied around all the time.

Agreed. Buckley and CMS are far too similar to work upfront together. Imagine if they were both having an off day, touch wise? Would be hilariously bad.

We need someone with a consistently good first touch, who can win the ball, bring it down, win fouls, link play, be good aerially, blah blah blah Glenn Murray.

Apologies. I meant to say that it was the biggest screw-up in terms of the playing side of the club.

Apologies I was trying to take the piss and failed.

I totally agree, the same names and the same reasons given time and time again, then we do well and everyone shuts up, everyone should know this league is never going to be easy and unless we spend stupid amounts of money we will have times when we struggle.

Probably not worth suggesting to the messiah!
