pinevillawill Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Dickov is extremely fortunate that there's only really two relegation spots this season. Hartlepool are as good as down and Portsmouth are awaiting a points deduction. Any other season and we'd be in the bottom four. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BattyLincs Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 At what point is it acceptable to drop our most experienced players tonight so they can have their day in the sun against Liverpool and sacrifice this game which is far more important sack him now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobOAFC Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 At what point is it acceptable to drop our most experienced players tonight so they can have their day in the sun against Liverpool and sacrifice this game which is far more important sack him now Who said it's so they can have 'their day in the sun' ? Croft hasn't been playing well recently and rightly isn't playing today. If Croft had started you'd be arguing that Dickov refuses to drop players who haven't been playing well for a while.

BattyLincs Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I will hold my hands up and apologise if I'm wrong and they are all brought back in on sunday but you have to admit it looks that way, this is our bread and butter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shefflatic Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 (edited) as above - lose tonight and with games in hand we are well in it no tactics at all, hoof to the big guy - EVERY WEEK its Simpson 'well, no we don't look to play long ball, it's just an option' - have we then EVER gone and played it to his feet at any stage? PD initiated? players using their :censored:ing brains to pass the ball to his feet?...........NO! 'if the lads give me what they gave me today we'll be alright' EFFORT is a given in any walk of life - football is a challenge - so is life Paul! If you don't give your all in your job sooner or later it'll be noted and you'll be out on your arse. Thats JUST why the players love him - never gets angry, never really drops players, only when it seems he HAS to and has read this board! Great bloke and won't ever not be welcome at BP which is good, like Shez (Although he is a legend regardless) all you can ask is that the manager tries their best, treats the fans and club with respect and if it doesn't work out it doesn't and PD has done that as we can all appreciate, in difficult financial circumstances. HOWEVER - the squad we have, the 50+ players he has brought in in his time - the over-budget backing SC has given him ala Derbyshire etc and the big squad towards the end of last season - the horrendous runs we have gone on the whole of this season, last season and his first season - no tactics - no attacking intent in a proper manner - no goals - playing people out of position just to play them ala Simpson LW when Hughes is the logical choice aside from Montano - not playing the kids in the right positions ala Mellor in CM or Winchester at RB or giving them a run - no fight from the team whenever we are 1-0 down or drawing in a game And the general awful aura that our current team displays is just the end for me - we are missing Montano and Furman from our current shambles. Furman won't make a jot of difference as he is just another DM of which we have 3 Furman, Mchang and Wes (case in point re PD) Montano is the only one you could say would add a threat to us So 2 players missing out of the squad - not exactly Baxter missing is it - not an excuse. Sorry Paul enough is enough 'just wide, heartbreak for latics, unlucky, ever so hard, just not going for us. ENOUGH IT'S NOT GOING FOR US - because we aren't attacking with any intent or putting our foot through the ball hard enough IT'S NOT HEARTBREAK FOR LATICS - fecking defend properly IT'S NOT UNLUCKY - Make it happen!!! put the ball in the next, get on the end of a cross etc IT'S NOT NOT GOING FOR US - Work harder to score as a team and defend. Players have it so easy and cushy in terms of a real manager - someone like Phil Brown and Davies would tell them how it is and whip them into shape when they aren't doing their jobs!! Time to go Paul, thanks for trying ever so hard but you have had enough time, three squads plus extras and we are only going backwards. Your downfall? Going defensive after Feb 2010 - why? only you will know the answer. Billy Davies in - if not then its Adkins or Phil Brown for me - had the Hartlepool job but wasn't allowed to bring staff in - no probs here then and the Preston job was taken from him when he again wanted to restructure their backroom processes amid budget cuts can't stand all this 'he wouldn't come here with no money' - there are countless managers out of work and we are (one hell) of a challenge - although IF the stand is built we have a little light in the dark tunnel of our future - anyone an ex-manager and wanting another job will apply END OF. Go NOW so we can have some hope and fight on Sunday with a new man or at worst Tony Philly BYE PAUL, oil the hinges on your way out!

NewBlue Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 (edited) Taylor on left wing. Absolutely fuming. Enough is enough. :censored:ing disgraceful that is. Draft a youngster into the team after playing well in a partnership with another striker and you put him in the wrong position and them pull him off. There is literally no positive prospects with Dickov at the helm, he hasn't got a clue about tactics or positions and wouldn't learn if the formula slapped him in the face. Which it already has done. Can't defend, can't attack, can't motivate, can't inspire. It seems like the only :censored:ing thing he can do is make a brew and harass linesman. Time to go, and fast for the sake of our season and club. Edited January 22, 2013 by NewBlue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wardie Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Apparently, a handful of fans who made the trip are now chanting "Dickov out!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
