Barnet v City match day thread.

That classic shout

A bit like the 'proper chaps' one you love so much.

We're like the North Korea of football: every year the crops fail so Kim Jong Tisdale executes some peasants whilst building himself another pitch err palace

This made me laugh, #TISDALEOUT

What did the Great Curmudgeon think of our performance Mack ?

 

[CREDYGRECIAN]

Yes indeed. I wonder what it means ?

Nothing is what it means

I agree with the last sentence but we don't have a full selection of midfielders. Manny is still not match fit (my dad bumped into him in Aldi last week), Oakley is out for a long time by the sounds of it, Holmes is out. I just don't think he deserves the amount out vitriol that is expressed towards him at games and on here is justified. He had the most composure out of all our defenders. also you can't criticise him for being slow, the majority of our team wouldn't have caught Clarke.

The prob is that as soon as one 38 year old midfielder is injured, another is automatically stuck in to take his place. Butts is doing a good job with the u21 but he is not cut out to play in the engine room of a League 2 side up against players who week in, week out will be quicker or stronger (or both) than him. If Tis wants to play Noble and Harley, then he has to play someone with more energy and bite in there. Still think Harley is playing too deep. He is more effective floating off the front 2.

Now go back and read what I said properly.

Yes I've 're-read it and it still comes across the same way. So perhaps instead of trying to belittle my comment you could try explain yours more clearly. The point of a debate is to articulate your feelings on an issue so that another person or persons can understand your stance, you have failed to do this in this instance. So could you explain why you feel that it's acceptable for one incident to affect plyers so dramatically?

Compare and contrast Tom's 1 on 1 with Clarke's goal

Yeah, but would Grant or Morrison have done any better?

Did I say that the own goal knocked the stuffing out of us? No. That's what you read to suit you're argument. I said the own goal was an individual error that Tis had no control over when talking about what a manager can and can't control once the game has started. What I also said is that individual incidents, non specific to this game, can change the whole flow of a game. A dubious decision that cost you a goal, a injury to your most effective player in a given game, a sending off. If you don't think things like that don't effect a teams mindset then I think you're being a bit naive. Sometimes it's not always in a negative way. How many times have you seen teams crumple when they've been reduced to ten men but in contrast how many times have you seen teams put up a stubbon rearguard action in the same situation. A manager can do his best to try and influence that but it is ultimately in the hands of those on the pitch.

And that was Tisdales fault of course.
