CC: 'We Have Too Many Training Ground Players'

[Speedway]

Interesting read about how CC got stuck into the team after the Mothers game. Problem is...he signed 8 of them.

I love it when players tell us rangers and motherwell were never going to be easy games, can he tell me which ones will be?

You'll often get beat off teams who have better organisation, ability, pace and movement.

Heard a couple of cones got sent of for time wasting or it would have been a rout.

[Ferryhibby]

You know they all look good in training, this comment has been going around for years, its because they are playing against the same players the other teams are playing, same hopeless defence, same slow midfield

[RIP]

Call me old fashioned but I thought it made sense that if every player played in the same position each week, there would be a better understanding of who was where during a game.

Is it any coincidence that our 2 periods of a settled first 11 (Famous Five and Tornadoes) were also our most successful?

Too many doesn't 8 or all 11. IMHO, we need a settlled side to try and instill some form and confidence.

:agree: No ****ing rocket science is it? Probably find we played them in their best positions back then too.

Or am I being old-fashioned?... :confused:

We have to take a step back and give CC More time lets see who is brought in in the Jan Transfer window and judge him after then.

It isn't coincidence, but we didn't have squads then. We had a settled first eleven with a (hugely talented) reserve team. In the absence of substitutes it was understood on a Monday that Saturday's team would be the first team, with the relevant reserve team member promoted in place of any first team member who was missing through injury.

but now,it's a bit of a lottery as to who is playing.cant remember the last time we had a settled team, over the period of the last 4 managers

Is that no' what we were saying at the end o' last season ? Lets give him until the start of the season, after he has had the opportunity to sign his own players. Well wake up mate, he has done and if anything we are now worse than when he took over. Now that is some feat as personally I was of the opinion then we couldn't get any worse, how wrong was I eh. Get him tae f now before it's too late.

Our current crop of players give or take a couple are a complete shambles. managed by a complete shambles, who are run by a complete shambles. simple as that.

Ever since I was a lad, I've thought that this was the only approach that made any sense. To me, you have a squad only for the ability to cover for injuries [or loss of form] and to provide enough options on the bench to change a game around if needed. I've never thought the purpose of a squad was to create a pool of players for us to seemingly put them all in a hat and pick a first 11 out at random [including who plays where] - which is what appears to happen far too often...

I believe nortonhibby was being sarcastic. :)

Many people, myself included, have said that CC needed time to create his own team and for that team to gel. Different people have different opinions on how long that should be. Most people are ready for him to be punted now. I said that I would give him until Christmas and I'm sticking to that. He doesn't need another transfer window (although the shambles in the summer surely affected the effectiveness of that particular window).

I hope Shteve McLaren gets another job before xmas, we just might get an offer for clueless, and Petrie would then have a get out of jail card.

You're confused-Paddy Plastic is the goalie.
