And yes I’m aware players are this level are average. But some of the paces which get knocked out of play for a throw in makes you wonder if some of these have a bet on for number of throw ins.

Run around a lot at Boundary Park and you'll have fans for life. Even the very best footballers run around a lot you know, never hurt Mo Salah so a player starting out (which they invariably are with us) would do well to follow that lead, Garrity was a bit hit and miss and came in for criticism but his hard work and graft was appreciated at Vale. We've had players at BP in recent years and further back than that infact who polarised opinion yet have gone on to do just fine elsewhere, both grafters and ball players it's about getting the right balance for me and appreciate each player for who they are, all the way back to Milligan and Henry our fans have backed a battler and rightly so they are the foundation of many a good team and I'd rather have someone who puts it about than a shithouse fairy whose scared to put their foot in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being a battler and putting a tackle in is a separate matter. My issue is the lads who aren't even good at that but get a free pass because they run around a lot. When you compare it to the stick that gets thrown at some players who can actually do something with the ball, it feels unfair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the great sides, the likes of City, Liverpool & Real Madrid etc. are praised and rightly so how fast they win back the ball. By hard work. For me it's the first basic a manager/coach should demand. Then work on the next step. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lags is right, too often we saw last season players lose possession with no one to cover for the mistake. Another example was yesterday when Harry Vaughan was caught in possession with no one to cover within a dozen yards of him. As he says watch the Spain international team where awareness of covering for colleagues rare errors is drummed into the team, they don't go flying into tackles just nip the ball from under the feet of the opposition. An unsung example of this in the great Joe Royle era was Mike Milligan, he came from a local non league background so it shows much of it is down to the desire of individuals as well as coaching.

Vaughan was totally to blame for losing the ball though - he was too slow to bring the ball under control and unaware of the opposition player closing him down. Also, at that point in the game Latics had subbed Hope, Hogan and McGahey with Sheron dropping into the back four from his covering midfield role. So the balance of the side was disrupted, which could explain the lack of cover. I’ve said before that, this season is pivotal for young Harry. Time is on his side and he does have talent. However, as well as bulking up, he has to show progress or he will remain a bit part player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longlostfan Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 I don't think Milligan was unsung BP. I think he was recognised as being a vital part of that great side. In my opinion he was one of the less gifted players, but like many players when playing with better players they too look better. He and Henry had relatively simple jobs- get the ball knock it five yards to one of the many runners be it winger or attacking full back. They did that job well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was Harry Vaughan not strong enough on the ball and was robbed. leading to their fist goal, The disappointing aspect for me his head went down after that and maybe the reason despite his technical ability Shez won't start him, same with Bahamboula last season I guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The vast majority of players at our level probably haven’t got, and are maybe incapable of achieving that degree of fitness. There will be plenty of technically gifted players in the National League but won’t have the engine required to play much higher. We have seen many examples of this throughout our steady decline and we are where we are unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt some are but don’t have the technical ability and vice versa? In the lower leagues you have maybe one or the other but seldom both!

Because athletes tend to have different attitudes towards fitness and diet, some of our players wont be as fit as they should be the obvious ones being Fondop and McGahey who really should be playing at a level or two higher if they could manage to get ultra fit, on the flip side you'll find other players in the football league without huge technical ability but are model pros. Unfortunately anybody playing for us in Division 5 will be lacking in an area or two be it age, fitness, attitude, technical ability, weak minded, pace etc.. that's just the reality of us slipping through the Leagues.
