Coyle had to act quickly to find suitable replacements throughout the team and, to his credit, he did. The purchases he made before the season began are likely to be just as significant as the tactics he employs during it.
It was the failure to replace senior players – plus injuries – at Bolton that led to their relegation. The fault was not necessarily Coyle’s – there may well have been financial limitations that we are not aware of. (And I see that Holden is injured yet again.)
We have got off to a great start – I just hope that next week doesn’t damage our confidence. I am now anxiously waiting for the transfer window to close – and there are four more long weeks to go! But if any one of the big moves goes through, then it will start a chain reaction that we may get caught up in.
Awreet Barnsley; we have nothing to fear or loose next week. It’s a day out that players, fans and manager can treat as a bonus and enjoy ! Not so Moyes !
Do you think that Owen Coyle looks a bit like an owd version of Columbo ? :evil:Spooky – just check out his middle name http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Owen_Coyle
I would almost go as far to say if things stay as they are we have a better squad of players than last season..
Thank gawd that you qualified that with almost or that comment would have just been silly ;-)[/quote]
Robles out Nicholls and Carson in
Figeuroa out Crainey and his international replacement in
Alcaraz Scharner Golobart out Perch, Barnett and Rogne in
David Jones out Chris Mccann in
Di Santo out Dicko in
Kone out Holt & Fortune in
Goalkeeping department is much stronger
Defence is much stronger!
Midfield we have managed to keep our quality players (up to now)
Wingers pretty much the same minus Di Santo and Lopez (not a great loss)
One hard working striker for 2
I fail to see where I am bordering on the silly? If we had stayed up and Martinez left for Everton with Coyle coming in setting us up the way he has and signing the players he has I think we could do a lot worse.
I dont think (he may prove me wrong) Coyle will ever be the tactician Martinez was for us e.g. Masterminding a cup final domination against the PL champions but apart from that he has certainly ticked all the right boxes in his time here.[/quote]
Totally agree with you Salford.
I think Owen is a Streetfighter; whereas Roberto was a Pretty Boy !
I shall be happy if Holt scores 25 lucky goals!What we’ve been missing is sufficient players up the field to create chances and players in the box to convert them into goals.
We should be able to take greater control of games this season and have a greater presence in the box too. I think we’ve got the players to do both.
Wasn’t a lucky goal in my opinion. He was where a striker should be and reacted very quickly to re-direct the ball into the net with his knee. Two goals from two corners in one game; we don’t normally score from corner ball situations.
Another noticeable point – we had 63% of possession.We were playing against Barnsley, who finished just one point above relegated Peterborough last season.
We started last season with a game against Chelsea, who had just become Champions of Europe.
We don’t move in the same circle any more, and the demands upon the team are hardly the same. Congratulations on a good win all the same.
Aye, but did you actually go to the game ? With your username, you should have been first in the queue !
I wish WGTB would think before he puts his mouth in gear. PAPA says “it sounds”; which does not necessarily imply that he has seen this mon in action; it’s more a case of the listening to comments about the player and arriving at a positive pre-judgement. WGTB is fast becoming a boring know it all ( from what I gather ). But that might be pre-judging him. Wouldn’t like to do that, would we.
I wish he would go fracking somewhere all this bale bollox his doing me noggin in but as you say when one of Bale/Goofy?shreck decide what there doing you will see the transfer window go balistic with deals being offered left right and centerYes, I can see the Goofy likeness; well spotted that man !
didnt our very own jason roberts play on with a broken leg, and harry lyon before thathey, they were tough enough to be cyclists then !
Are you certain it’s pay on the day. Barnsley allocate around half the stand to away support, but somtimes open the other half to home fans. I’m going with the intention of paying on the day, but might have to settle for getting into the home end.
