But then I told myself he’s being kept out of the team by Cameron Fucking Burgess !! Morning BP1960 If he does join he will also not be able to play on 25 Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midsblue Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Sell off Wheater and Hamer, bring in short-term loans or free agents.... does this sound like a long-term plan to you? More proof Lemsagam is cutting losses and trying to exit. Firesale will partly appease some debtors known to him before the inevitable happens and those debtors with no affinity to the clown will have to try and claw back via the lottery of administration. Means the club is back in the position post-Moore albeit less debt and the FLG owning stadium & land... although not 100% certain how their motives will pan out subject whoever a “buyer” of the club will be.

oafc1955 Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 FLG have bought nowt yet but I think you’re probably correct about AL wanting out. Might be a little clearer after tomorrow night! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyde on the other hand were shite and got hammered 5 - 1. Can we not call them FC ffs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweeperKeeper Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 I've seen Piergianni a few times and would be happy to see him join. Very good in the air and left footed, he'd probably be our biggest goal threat from corners. It would've been nice to see him next to Wheater as we need some experience and presence at the back, but it looks like that ship has sailed.

The situation at the back is that dire. If however it's just going on some more defensive midfielders for the bench, then I'd rather keep him and make sure we aren't reliant on the likes of Sefil.

It’s more than likely Wheater’s replacement unless it’s an addition for injury prone Egert. You missed out the rest of what he said at the time. He went on to say Wheater is the only CB we have. Tomas is injured. Roy said in commentary that NcCann is out for some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc1955 Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 So from that you reckon Wheater is staying? I reckon he’ll be gone And by the way, Egert is permanently injured! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Few games of Egert and Iacovitti at centre-half should be enough to remind people, though... Eh? If he's not moved on he needs to be dropped. An absolutely liability game in, game out now and seems to be getting worse.... Talk us through "his importance"...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bradford away with Sefil and Iacovitti and Fleetwood away with Hamer and Stott are good examples of his importance. Even yesterday with his two mistakes for the goals he was our least worst defender. Not that he was good but we'll be even worse if he leaves with the rest of our current defence. Clarke was better without question, but we'll need an experienced defender to replace Wheater if he leaves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other defenders were directly culpable for the goals too in my view. Wheater got turned way too easily for both the first and second goals and absolutely deserves his share of the blame, but competent defending after his mistakes could've prevented the goals too. It's hard to stress just how shambolic the rest of the back four were during the match, but it really would've been worse without Wheater there despite him having such a bad game. That's how shit things were. 51 minutes ago, yarddog73 said: OWTB gold this little nugget. Thanks. Your incessant nuggets about how much you hated David Dunn were just as laughable.

GlossopLatic Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Despite all this he is still comfortably our best defender this season. The fact he is someone who could find another club this month is testament to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be fair to Wheater not had a decent partner at the side of him all season.. who knows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He certainly hasnt been our worse player, Our defense has been unsettled over the season, would like to see wheater with a decent CB at the side of him. Yes maybe he would like to return to Bolton and who would blame him ?.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc1955 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 The defence issue is a collective problem. Nobody is taking ownership they’re all ball watching. When the ball hits the net they’re all looking around wondering who to blame. Defensively the Salford and Scunthorpe games were piss poor but the Cheltenham debacle has taken it to a new level. It’s basic defending and all are culpable,. Something is amiss and IMO it’s either poor preparation/ coaching or they’ve stopped playing for Dino.

Maybe this is another reason we'd be better off without Wheater - for those who think literally gifting goals to the other team week in, week out is fine - the rest of them might take on a lot more responsibility if they're all of a similar standard/standing. As a unit 3 young lads and/or lower league plodders looking to a seasoned campaigner who can't be arsed to lead, talk them through or set an example anymore really isn't working....
