The Andy Scott Thread

[Owlsmoor_Bee]

to cheer u all up, as if you dinn't realise, our next 10league games are as follows.


Home
...................
Millwall
Walsall
Colchester
Leeds
Charlton
Southampton.
Might get 1 point from that lot against Walsall

AWAY
............
Wycombe
Tranmere
M K Dons
Gillingham

Should get at the least 2 points from them games.
Whitch gives us 3 points from the next 10 games. Of course I hope I'm totally wrong, but going on current form can anyone see any different?

Ok,fair comment. I've said my bit and no body will be happier than me if i'm proved wrong. Time will tell I guess.

 

[Bill Benn]

Why does everyone keep trotting out this excuse? Other than Leeds, no team has reached 30 points from 15 games (exactly the same as in 4 of the past 5 years). None of Charlton, Norwich or Southampton have a goal difference into double figures.

There have always been a couple of historically "bigger" teams languishing in the third tier: ten years ago it was Preston, Burnley, Stoke etc; twenty it was Bolton, Birmingham, Fulham; in the late 70s it was Blackburn, Sheffield Wednesday and Sheffield United.

The rest of the top half of the table is made up of MK Dons, Colchester, Huddersfield, Millwall, Swindon, Bristol Rovers, Southend, Hartlepool and Walsall... are you seriously telling me we haven't competed successfully with them over the past 10, 20, 30 years or that these are "really strong" opponents in the context of League One?

The summer signings haven't shown themselves to be good enough yet, the squad's unbalanced, injuries haven't helped and as good as Andy was last year at marshalling resources he's been poor this year. We're where we are because we've been rubbish since early September (8 goals in 10 games) not because the oppo has been terrific. Andy deserves a fair crack at turning it round (as did Ferguson at Posh), because he showed last year how well his teams could play. However, it's not disloyal or unsupportive to say that we deserve to see signs of improvement rather than excuses as currently, in today speak, we're not fit for purpose.

I think the same,and to the posters who question the loyalty of posters who dare to be critical of the team or the manager(i do many times)you couldn't be further from the truth.

I get the impression you will be very happy - rarely a positive word to say about anything other than 'Spot on!'

 

[The Pipe]

Why do you think we are incapable of getting anything at Wycombe may i ask ? This is the same Wycombe who are bottom of the division i assume ?

Historicly Wycombe I dont beleive has been a happy hunting ground for us, dont seem to recall many happy trips home, also following a change of Manager there perfomance seems to have picked up as they are begining to score goals and have added the B City forward to their team.

This in stark contrast to a Brentford team that is struggling to score goals and seems to have lost any confidence they once had.

A good performance against Milwall on sat and comprehensive victory over Gateshead may well restore that confidence ( as would some new faces) so on the basis of what I have seen this season no I dont expect to get anything from Wycombe:sad:

They haven't " picked up " all they have done is drawn with with another sh*t team at home in the cup.

 

[mhead bee]

unless of course you call throwing away a two goal lead and losing 3.2 and then shipping 4 goals in a 4.4 draw in 2 consecutive home games "picking up"

That is 7 conceded in two home games.

I still think they will beat us, they always fkin do!

If the Sun's to be believed, Akinde is about to rejoin them on loan. Mindful of how we dealt (or didn't deal) with him at GP last season, I'd rather like the Sun to be wrong. That said, I think we'll beat them anyway,

 

[bonafidebee]

This thread started on November 1st. AS must be past his best before date now. Even Morrisons would've taken him off their shelves and binned him. Useless BFC board.

I also think it is easier to shore up a defence, than get a goal shy team to start scoring.

 

[marlowbee]

An old saying says if things don't change they will stay as they are,
well I dont see any change, if Akinde is available why the hell didnt we go for him?

Because AndyScott is happy with the squad of 25 that he has recruited.

Do they have a new manager yet?If yes,good move and why have we sat back?If no,bollox news

Spot on

Ah, but if he is equivalent to a packet of biscuits, he could have quite a few months left yet.

I bet he's not really

I remember a very young Tabb coming off the bench to score a back post header in the last minute to give us a win, but not much else to shout about.

 

[Gee Bee]

How do you know he hasn't and Akinde prefers to go where he was last season?

 

[maddogging]

can only recall two wins there in my time, 1-0 Marcus Bent early doors which I was in Ibiza, and the 2-1 win with Tabb last minute, donkey adams first game in charge, for which we just got the keys to our house and I was stripping the walls. Certainly remember plenty of games there that we have lost though

4-1 ? in the autowindscreenldv

 

[maddogging]

nope, missed that. Evo injury game was it, or the one where Leo scored..?

 

[West Ealing Bee]

:yes:

Leo definitely scored.

We also won in the FA Cup under Downes when Vine scored a couple.

 

[sussexb]

The 5-3 when we were fecking robbed is the one that sticks in my head. Phil Dowd I think?

Rarely been so angry walking out of a game.

 

[nick logan]

:yes:



Leo definitely scored.

4-2 ?

 

[TW3Bee]

Peterborough don't think so.

...................we shall see.......................

 

[roddy]

No time to go through all these posts but living in the area I can tell you all that AS is being very seriously linked with Peterborough job

 

[SmiffyBee]

first I have heard of it

 

[beebopalula]

first I have heard of it

Can't think why. What has AS to offer a club fighting relegation from League 1? They need to go for some experience surely and a sustained record of delivery. Otherwise why fire Ferguson?

 

[The Pipe]

Would be an intersting move, Ferguson has got them playing lovely one touch football on the deck but results have been poor. Andy likes to play the opposite style and......results have been poor!!

 

[marlowbee]

:yes:

I dont remember us winning the FA Cup, how did I manage to miss that?

 

[nocoat]

It says in the FA Cup rather than just FA Cup. :computer:

 

[Bigbee]

dont talk to Ace Face then,he maybe striking anyway

 

[shouldbee]

Long ball football only works if you have 2 quick big centre forwards which ours are neither, and it's generally an indication of a coach who's run out of ideas ..

[JumboJet]

Good to see the fans behind Scotty today

 

[shouldbee]

Good to see the fans behind Scotty today

Because he almost got his team selection right and we played football on the ground. Just need Karleigh in alongside the immaculate James Wilson and all will be well

 

[Stanley]

So if AS picks the team according to the the GPG we will all love him?

 

[SmiffyBee]

So if AS picks the team according to the the GPG we will all love him?

No.
We need shouldbee to continue to select the team, set the tactics, sign the new blood, loan in the talent and generally take us to the Championship with his wisdom and cutting insight.

 

[NorthamptonBee]

We finally got a performance, Scott's allegded words where he suggested that you had to be honest and make changes to the way we play were refreshing. All I ever want is performance, 3 points are lovely but as long as we compete then my/our time and money hasn't been wasted. He said he needed to freshen it up, we've all known that for weeks, but what a player to get in to do this. I believe in most of these players but they stopped believing in themselves IMO. It was only a point but I just hope it's a turning point.
I look forward to the new loanee this week, I'm sure he can't make as much impact but you never know.

Great words of wisdom for a Monday morning!
I particularly like " It was only a point but I just hope it is a turning point"

 

[bonafidebee]

Anyone still think AS isn't the man for the job after today's signings?

 

[NorthamptonBee]

Anyone still think AS isn't the man for the job after today's signings?

Are you asking the two or maybe three who didn't think he was?

 

[Inappropriate Smilies Bee]

Anyone still think AS isn't the man for the job after today's signings?

i hadn't considered that he wasn't but now you mention it his f**ham-loving ways and continual lack of respect for brentford and our socalled "socalled "fans"" is rather tiresome.

You are totally wrong about the home games IMHO

I'm keeping my powder dry on this for a while longer yet. There's a few who ridiculed my "3 wins and a draw" prediction. We shall see, shan't we?

Be fair. We all made predictions last week before anyone knew anything of Bostick, Woycjek, and Van der Graf Generator arriving.
