Been going too long Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 2 hours ago, Ro Sham Bo said: It wasn't actually tongue in cheek. The bloke standing next to us mentioned it. There may be nothing in it, but that was slightly strange today. At no point did he warm up with the other subs and why wouldn't you bring on one of your best players when chasing a game away from home? Probably injured then and on the bench to boost numbers as really we had 2 outfield subs who would get on 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAITHROVERS84 Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 Poor day. A clusterf**k for the first goal. KB could’ve taken a touch and cleared. He could’ve booted out of play to the right. Byrne (who was playing well) could’ve booted it out for a corner, he could’ve let them shoot, possible score but still have 11 men on the park. I definitely think there’s something up with Stanton. Never got out of the dugout apart from heading into the changing room 5/6 minutes before HT. Smith has looked really strong and some near turns. We just create absolutely nothing. Hanlon looked good. Barrowman needs to sort the right manager pronto and bring at least another couple in. We look utterly bereft of ideas. I’m hoping when Vaughan comes back in we’ll see the neat one twos with Easton etc. We look a mile off it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Been going too long Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 1 hour ago, Stardog_champion said: Exactly, why would he leave a club with REAL potential to a club that can’t What potential do they have ?already are the biggest club in NI, if he comes here and does well a premier league club will take notice or he is backed and we get to the premier league . I would be amazed if he got the PNE job over heckingbottom who has a decent record in England. He has been at Linfield 9 years he might be bored 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He works really hard but hasn't been given any support for any of the 3 league games. I think ideally he would work well with a target man playing next to him , Jack Hamilton possibly if he can ever get fit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CountryBumpkin Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 No surprise that Linfield Chairman is wanting to keep Healy at the club going by the Belfast Telegraph today. 2 minutes ago, mrpaddyx said: He works really hard but hasn't been given any support for any of the 3 league games.

That would surely involve giving Hamilton service, that isn't long punts up front. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He reminds a bit of a young Vaughan but not as natural a striker. He has a bit of pace, will come in from the wide has an eye for gaps in defence. I agree he would probably benefit from playing as a 2 with a big man knocking things on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grumswall Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 Just now, renton said: Why? Probably because we're 3 games in to the season where we've played two games without a manager and arguably our best player in vaughan has been missing for two of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ro Sham Bo Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 The Vaughan injury is down to mismanagement by Murray last season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arguably being so poor without your best player is an issue itself. One player should not dramatically change the way a team players, otherwise you're causing yourself problems. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've had management, even if we havent had a manager, and I accept the fact we havent had it easy with injuries, but I'm not sure I could point to a single positive today. We nearly made it to 0-0 at HT? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We nearly made it to 0-0 at HT? I haven't seen us play a single minute since the league kicked off so I really can't comment on how we've played. I don't really think two failed managers in Potter and Cameron can be considered management though. Perfectly good at the roles they where signed to do, but neither one of them have a successful management career. 4 minutes ago, CountryBumpkin said: Arguably being so poor without your best player is an issue itself.

Considering our form since then was apparently why Murray was sacked, you'd think the guy making the signings would address this... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The report card will not be a positive one You need to go and lay down in a dark room. Wasn't the greatest showing today for sure but we have better players than previous years, Better facilities than ever and high expectations. I am taking a stab that you did not have to go through the tough times of the late 80s-early 90s ? Having opposing opinions are healthy but just moaning for the sake of it is just plain boring 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
