v Wealdstone

[GazzaBTFC]

Presuming the game is on...even though Friday night tempratures are said to drop to -3...

 

My team pick for the game would be as follows:-

 

Tucker

Marron, Duncan, Heffer, Dumas

Ferguson, Wayne S, Deane, Dormer

Flack, Bricknall

 

Subs: Hunter, Cole, Burbs, BWG, Worster

 

Difficult picking Wayne over Hunter and not one I would do lightly as both have performed well over the past couple of games but Wayne travels better with the ball. Having Leon on the bench gives us cover to freshen the midfield up if we need to. I would still pick Dormer on the left over BWG as IMO, we get better results away when we go "narrow" and allow Dumas to go forward with Dorms covering, when required.

 

Tim Cole has yet to play since he has come "back" from injury so, I would keep the back four consistant but I would bring him in if we were defending a slim lead and needed to "shore" up the defence.

 

Flackie and Brickers pick 'emselves.

 

Looking forward to it...I am at present going through "cold turkey" (excuse the festive pun) with the lack of footie.

I would take a completed game.

 

Wealdstone apparently suffer from the same "stand hides sun" problems that we have so I wouldnt get too optimistic just yet.

 

Here s hoping.

[GazzaBTFC]

I'm not at ll optimistic about the game going ahead. Looking at the weather repors I would not be surprised if this one os postponed as well.

[Ryan.c]

If all are fit and capable of 90 minutes, then:

 

Tucker

Big Dunc, Cole, Heffer, Dumas

BWG, Dormer, Deane, Ferguson

Flack, Bricknell

With a predicted weather of -4 overnight in the Ruislip area, and just 3 degrees on Saturday, I can't see the game going ahead

 

Dover on Tuesday looks promising.

[GazzaBTFC]

I have checked the weather for Tuesday and on Monday and Tuesday the weathermen predict 48 hours of torrential rain in the SE corner of our green and pleasant land...

 

Don't ya just love wintertime...

Well one thing is for sure. Adrian Deane wont be in our line up for 2moro's game. Just read on the website he has left.

[Ryan.c]

Do we know why? IMO, a massive loss.

[braintree76]

Adrian had to leave due to budget constraints!!

 

Told the club could not pay him anymore

[jl]

A major disappointment to see Deane go in my view.

 

I was under the impression Deane was happy here so would imagine it must be to get the money down a bit.

I suspect we won't see as many contracts dished out next season so we avoid barmy situations like this developing in future.

 

That said I do strongly believe we have to operate within our means although I'm still surprised he was top of the list.

 

Any news of when Gameo may be fit to return?

[Adam.S]

I agree with everyone about Adrian. He will be a big loss!

 

I thought he linked up very well with Ferguson, a good ball passing player, with most of his ball touches and control being good, and he played excellent forward balls.

 

I think he was probably one of the players we would have liked to have seen stay with us for the rest of the season, and possible in the future. He was definately well rated so I agree with JL about the reason being the money issues.

[Bluetone]

Massive loss in my opinion. It's no coincidence that our change in form can be directly linked to his arrival. Hopefully it gives someone else a chance to step up and fill the void!

[GazzaBTFC]

Whereas I appreciate what people say concerning Adrian (and I also agree with some), the club has to operate within a budget, especially these times.

I think Jason Broom said end Jan/start Feb in a recent video interview.

[Onthesidelines]

Well,it is a pity he had to go but I don't think he has played as well the other comments on this forum suggest. I think he has mainly been anonymous after a good opening game. I was hoping he would settle in with time.

[Simon BTFC]

Well I guess that tomorrow looks like being another football-free saturday

 

Disappointed Adrian Deane has gone, but for me he played best when Dormer switched to wide midfield - we looked too lightweight with Deane in centre mid and 2 out-and-out wingers on the pitch. Given that wingers are probably our strongest area, it's not a great surprise that he's gone. It does put a lot of pressure on Dormer to stay fit, which is a bit of a worry.

 

We've obviously got to balance the books - don't forget that Deane came in when Hunter and Flack had been put on the list. Both are still here so we need to cut some players elsewhere. Like JL I'm sure lessons will be learnt for next season - fewer contracts and fewer injury-prone players.

[Ricydickie]

I too am sorry to see Adrian go. a good footballer and served us well when we were in need. I wish him well. Lets hope Gameo is back soon and we can really put a spurt on. that is if the weather lets us. Latest temp in and around Ruislip is -2.2 at 7pm expected to drop to -6 before rising to a high of +3 at kick off time.

 

got to be a major doubt imho.
