if it wasnt for Weiters and Jones, I would guess our losses would have alot heavier.

I think the one you refer to was quite late in the game when everyone was pretty much spent anyway. As I said, I am not promoting Daisy as one of our best performers - he also makes mistakes in the overall chaos of our so-called game plan. He, though, shows a helluva a lot more passion and effort than most if not all of the rest of our team, aside from Cripps, who seem indifferent. That is a massive worry imo.

I thought Weitering and Jones should quite a lot today.
Very happy with their passion and intensity and I have been no fan of Jones in the past.

Need to look to the future before we burn another generation of first round picks.

What's your solution ?

If Weitering was captain his efforts to get lose within range of goal would be respected!

Cripps game and the game of players around him won't change, captain or not!

Cripps was the easy and obvious pick, but was he the smart pick?

Weiters is really coming of age, showing everything you'd hope to see from a young man in a KP role. If he can develop, and Liam Jones can be transformed, surely others can take their game to the next level. If a few do so this year, we'll get over the line. Charlie is one I expect to pick up soon.
Coming together is the beginning.
Keeping together is progress.
Working together is success.

Ironic?

I've probably been Daisy's bandwagon #1 ticket holder since the day he was recruited....and reason being was because he would show the rest of our rabble how to go about it, continually.

It was never about how good of a player he was/is/will be, it was about effort, brains and work rate. He has been to the top of the tree and knows whats required to get there. We cannot say the same of any other player on the list.

We need more daisy types on the list, and we'll 'magically' improve.

We miss Kreuzer, Cunningham and Willo but God we miss Doc.

I’m interested in the ‘love’ for Cunningham. If we are depending on his return, I’d be worried. Yet to show any consistency over a sustained period. Could be ok, but by no means a walk up selection lock.
It takes an extraordinary talented football team to find so many ways to lose, to snatch so often defeat from the jaws of victory.

Be interesting to see Juddy (who is BBs boss) mock, snide and deride honest questions about how a seemingly talented group of players can be so rudderless and deeply fragmented.

Sad fact is that very few supporters are actually surprised by today's monumental cock-up.

Well, there is only one side in the competition, winless. No hiding now. No getting off lightly.

But BB does continue to deliver on his brief to eliminate hidings, keeping losses to a minimum.

Even a pack of amateurs can put clumsy pressure on us and we fold.
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

What are you talking about. Why shouldn't Cripps be Captain?

Weiters? Well on last year's form he was lucky to get a  game!

Finals, then 4 in a row!
Cripps, Weitering and Walsh led the way today.
2012 HAPPENED!!!!!!!
