I just think u are all being very harsh on BPF. Of course a lot of goals are "his fault", he's the keeper, most of missed goals are Roofe's fault.
You can place the blame for conceding goal anywhere it suits you, on Satdi, 3 of them were Forshaw's fault, 2 were CB's not doing their job, at least 1 due to a misplaced pass from Pablo and 1 due to Roofe not scoring a couple of minutes before their 4th. We are top, 2nd least number of goals conceded and he's hardly had a 1st choice defence in front of him and we had a long run of clean sheets beforehand. Bielsa has a plan and it's got us this far in 6 months, can u guarantee another keeper bought in would fit in the team and it's style (which begins with the Keeper) as for getting Heaton or a premiership 3rd choice keeper, makes me laugh, they are 3rd choice from a reason and even those would be on wages way above even our highest paid player (Pablo?). There were calls for Heaton to be got, but he let 6 in against our u23's - or was that their defences fault. Oh, I see Hart has been dropped, now he's never made any mistakes has he LOL MB says he was planning to swap Blackman in before he got injured, so if he still sees it as an issue I trust he'll sort it, if not it's been a fantastic ride so far. I'm not actually desperate to get in the premiership, I don't think there is anyway we can compete for the top 10 without much bigger bucks that AR can afford and I'm really enjoying winning so many games. I was at the bridge with 9 men and it was possibly one of the most rewarding games I've ever seen, but those only ever come about every decade, I'm more than happy with the 2.5 comebacks in the last 4 games. Have any of you actually enjoyed a season half as much since the 15pt deduction season? After the V average purchases in summer, did any of you expect us to be top at xmas ttfn Richard -----Original Message----- From: Leedslist <leedslist-boun...@gn.apc.org> On Behalf Of Roger Goodair via Leedslist Sent: 02 January 2019 15:25 To: leedslist@gn.apc.org Subject: [LU] Forest and January signings Out of lurkdom for five minutes to show my age and frustration. I'm with Simon M 100% and Rich with regard to the lack of a plan B. We need to sign a new a new keeper NOW. This young man (he's not a young kid so let's stop making excuses for him) is going to cost us promotion. A good keeper gains you as many points as a good striker and BPF has already cost us many points this season. AGE ALERT - Sprake was in the team at 16 and was a better keeper than BPF with one arm tied behind his back!! As Simon M also said we need another centre back and another striker - even if Bamford does come back very shortly. I note that Eddie Howe is about to release Defoe - he'll do for me on a short term contract. I know it appears to be very churlish of me to criticise MB, but I'm gonna do anyway - absolutely no plan B other than to bring Clarke on, who to be fair changed the game yet again for 20 minutes. Down to 10 men and we've worked our way back in to the game and even got a 2-1 lead. Call me old fashioned if you must (and I know you will!) but what's wrong with closing a game out these days? Make some subs and stick 4 or 5 at the back and kill the game against a shite forest team. Anyone remember 0-0 at the bridge when we only had 9 men?! AGE ALERT - The Don will be turning in his casket at throwing 3 points away there yesterday. Back to lurkdom in pattaya.
