El-Hadji Spit RFC 756 Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 Hard one for PC, he has to get the best from the players he has at the club, that requires building their confidence, dropping one of the CBs for a guy that’s signed a few days ago could lock that big time. Ok we were pish against Hearts but arguably the defence kept a clean sheet away from home against our second biggest rivals in the league, not really grounds for dropping one of the CBs. He also has to break Propper in gently, throwing him in against probably the best team we’ll play this season, is maybe not ideal… However PC also has to appease us, the fans, and we all know our CBs is a weak area, and we’ve just signed a guy who should improve us. Choice of words were maybe not great but he’s trying to give us reason for not dropping a player for him straight off the bat, which imo is the right thing to do. I can see him being introduced early second half, if he plays well then he may keep his place for the next game, or get the whole of the second half in the next game.

Something along the lines of did Balogun have confidence that Dessers could score goals in the tie, both PC and Balogun were raging. Its in the Balogun presser.

Popular Post SPWF 8,913 Posted August 5 Popular Post Share Posted August 5 I’m hearing via sources that Propper hasn’t travelled with the squad because he’s got to wait in for package from Wayfair and they don’t give delivery slots. They’ve hit him with afternoon delivery 12-8. Club said nae bother just take the day off. psb07158, gmcf, tommyw and 7 others 10 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kelvd1873 7,659 Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 After listening to balogun I’m hoping a few others in the squad who haven’t played CL have the same drive to qualify just like him. Hoping to take a result in to the 2nd leg, 1-1. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d say it’s valid, said for ages journalists are too scared about losing access to ask any meaningful questions at pressers so makes a change to see a glaring issue actually brought up to a manager Personally I have zero confidence if Dessers gets a chance to put us up in this tie that he’s going to score it, regardless of what they say that has to extend to everyone on that staff and playing squad Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah if he’s baiting for something interesting as an answer then obviously he’s not going to get anything other than the standard responses. But honestly I don’t mind it. I think it can be easy for managers to be blind to certain issues if they don’t expose themselves to social media etc because they rarely get asked anything other than ‘who’s injured? how tough will this game be? Blah blah blah’. Even if you aren’t ever going to get a real answer I think it’s important questions are raised. Personally I’d like to see questions about what our style is supposed to be or why can we never sign a player that’s ready to play rather than someone picking on an easy target like Dessers but I don’t mind it Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A legitimate question would be that we missed chances at the weekend and were guilty of it last season how confident are you in the team being clinical? As soon as it was about an individual it was always getting shut down and quite right imo. Darth Bear, HG5 and Amokachi 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
