Andy Ford any Tactics?

As Stu M says, these aren't just inane ramblings, so I thought I'd disagree with some of them.

We have the ability to beat any team in this league, the fans know it, and you know it.

 

Yes, but that's on our day - like all other teams in the league.

 

Quote:

I expect it will be put down to injury problems as usual, if the people who enter the team through injury are not up to it, then why are they at the club?

 

Perhaps it's because we're not a moneybags club. I personally think injuries is quite a good excuse at the moment.

 

Of course none of us like to see constant long balls, but as John says, sometimes the manager can't do a lot about it. As we know, our players can pass well, as our excellent unbeaten run this year showed.

I must warn people that you are not allowed to disagree with Harry J Allstars. I foolishly took the stance of disagreeing with him and it has ruined my life. A month ago i was forced to flee to a safe-house before i was hunted down and killed!!

He is sort of a cross between Hitler, Saddam Hussein, Al Pacino and George Bush!!

The man is dangerous so beware ([censored] who's that at the door!!) AAAAAAAAGGGHHHHH!!!

What about the Sweden game in the 2002 world cup, they used the long ball then and we were winning for most of it.

The 'we were winning for most of it' ultimately states that we didn't win in the end though?

Most of it doesn't count - end result does.

I will find you Gaz, its not a matter of knowing where you are it's a matter striking at the right time.

That's just my oppinion, that we need someone who is slightly stronger in the air than Roy, because although he does a good job, i've been noticing he wins very few of the aerial balls he challenges for.

That's what I've said from Day 1!

Is this the same Roy Essendoh that Terry Brown described as the best header of a ball in the Conference?

[Fleetbabe]

If you look at his last few games, I've noticed that very few of the balls he challenges for in the air, he wins. I'm not saying this is disasterous, but I think he needs to be winning a few more of them, what with his height as well.

He may be the best header of the ball in the conference, but when it comes to aerial challenges, there are some stronger players on the team.

If you had registered we would have known that.

Interestingly, I thought the same about Rob Haworth - he often seemed to have problems timing his jumps.
