What was going on?

[UP FLEET]

hi percy welcombe to the mad house,i have to agree with all you say there, rawle i think is of no use to us what so ever,the trouble is a limited budget, so with cm out, it makes you wonder how daish will ever get a decent striker.I,m afraid i am a realistic, and i see it at present, a mid table conf club, with no direction,and if things do not change by the summer, we will find our selves in the same boat as crawley or tamworth. thats my opinion and i,m sure others on here will now shoot me down in flames, but eh thats the beauty of this forum...... <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

Looking at things from a totally objective point of view, I'm very much afraid that I have to agree with you both.

That said however, my "jury is still out" on Rawle. He is certainly a far better player than either Coleman and Omyinmi. In the matches that he has played, that I have seen. the games have not been good from any strikers point of view. I think even Macdonald would have struggled with the level of support that the front line have had, certainly from mid-field.

Without a doubt Rawle appears to be struggling at present, but you need to remember he is playing in a struggling team, a team that at present appears to be going nowhere.

In an ideal world he probably wouldn't be at the club, but it has already been stated that the club could not afford another Macdonald, therefore if isn't Rawle it would probably be another 'journey-man' striker who would probably perfom no better.

My bet is that if the club could start to turn-in some half decent performances, Rawle's performances would improve too.

WVN, you maybe correct there about rawle, but even when he has the ball up front he still doesnt look the kind of player that could turn a nothing chance into something, with cm at least when he gets the ball, your waiting for that turn, that little bit of magic, but you are correct in what you say about the whole team in general. why has it gone so stale? there must be a reason, someone or something is not working for the team!!!

We have players on loan like watkins,johnson and fuller who cant put one pass together

I'd certainly agree with you on Bradley Johnson, who, from what I have seen, has only had one reasonable match - Aldershot away - since he's been with us (although he puts in numerous good corners). Fuller, on the other hand, offers us width when Drury or Jacko are out and is a solid player. Watkins may have trouble with quick passing and distribution, but his tackling and defensive awareness certainly make up for that, as does his crossing ability.

Hilarious hypocrisy.

So GNFC Fan, if you were offered the chance to bring players such as Boyd and Nurse to the Fleet you would tell them where to get off? You would be a poor judge of quality if you did. Stevenage were nowhere near the worse team we have played. We may not like Westley, but 'Boro have beaten us 2-0 twice this season despite Dino and his antics. I read a comment recently that if only Stevenage had a decent manager "they would walk this league". While this may be OTT, we can't deny that they have some very good players and look a reasonable bet for the play offs once again. If the same comment was made about the Fleet could we honestly say the same?

 

On Saturday our defence were simply not awake at crucial moments or, sadly, good enough. How can this be so? We have a manager and his assistant who were good defensive players themselves. Are they unable to transfer their knowledge to the players they have selected? While it shows that neither Liam or Alan have much of a clue about coaching our forwards, you would at least have thought the defenders would be a success story.

[kmj]

Some interesting points. It would be refreshing if Liam could admit that some of the players he has sidelined are actually better than those he has brought into the Club. Alas, it is too late for the likes of Protheroe. Hopefully he will come to his senses regarding Skinner in particular before it is too late. Only one thing remains to ask you 'percysports': why and when exactly did you acquire your kd lang style of writing? Are you scared of capital letters? They don't bite!

[Hempstead Gaz]

I fear the damage is already done, and Skins will also leave for pastures new. My bet, Crawley or Welling.

If I were a part timer, such as McKimm, Jay, Jacko, I would now be very worried about being frozen out by Liam next year, especially when he rebuilds his own team.

[kmj]

Then he will be an ever poorer manager than many on this forum already consider him to be.

[kmj]

However, his hands may be tied on this issue should the Board stipulate full time players only. But, I think financial concerns about gate income may prevent this from happening.

If there are limits put on the number of full-time players employed by the club next season as a result of budgetry constraints, then it makes Protheroe's 'loan' to Margate even more daft.

No doubt the club will then be looking to sign a number of new part-time players for next season. As things stand currently it would be difficult to attact even part-time players with Protheroe's commitment and ability.

Good luck with your comments mate, any slight inconsistencies with text, grammar, spelling, font, dialect etc etc, plus having the temerity to express an alternative opinion, while being a new comer to the GNFC forum, have resulted in various "witty, hilarious and helpful comments" to welcome your good self.

Simply follow The Truth's words of wisdom, from a thread from a few weeks back, and you won't go far wrong:

"The problem is that when you 'speak' on a forum such as this nobody knows who you are, the only way of deciding whether your opinion is worth listening to or not is the way you express yourself.
If you are either incapable or too lazy to punctuate and spell your message correctly then people who don't know you will assume you are stupid and treat your posts accordingly."

[kmj]

And there indeed speaks The Truth.

[MHL]

We're fortunate that we have you great guys on the forum to show the underlings the way forward.

All users must be conditioned in the way of the forum.

 

What if, god forbid people don't stick their heads up the ar*e of the members of the clique ?

 

Or if they decide not to quote from a Thesaurus to every single post.

 

I'll send you a PM so you know who I am.

Spot the errors or rather it would be quicker to spot whats correct.

Well done Busta for confirming what JC was saying.

[Hempstead Gaz]

I have to admit that whilst my spelling and punctuation are not always perfect (many of my posts are made using my internet MDA phone), the thing that does irk me are postings that do not use capitals, sentences and paragraphs.

 

One solid lump of writing does not make for a good read, even though the content may make some pertinent and valid points - it is just unreadable.

[Stu M]

Can we have a special forum for spelling where the rights and wrongs of it are discussed? Personally, I agree with Gary - if I can't make sense of it, I don't bother reading or replying to it, but neither would I be bothered to point it out and correct it.
