Evening All!! Had to resist posting yesterday till I calmed down. Yet another explosive start to the season by the clueless leader and his misfits!! To the traveling supporters that spent their hard earned will be very wary to go to the Bury game. Can't find any positives on the game except it could have been more than just 3 goals!! Spearing & CYL looked like the only two that cared!! We will be very very lucky IF we stay in this league with that showing!! We are a spent force if you read between the lines from DF's interviews, where as Gartside seems happy enough to take all the money from this years season ticket holders and look forward to his BIG bonus come the end of the year!! Please excuse me if my posts are very far and few bettween now and the end of the season!! I won't be getting excited any time soon until DF resigns and takes is best mate Gartside with him. If its true that mason has signed for us on loan don't get too excited with DFs amazing plan of one up front will never ever work with this current squad! BTID still happy with Dougal?? Welcome back Socal, are you joining the FF leagues this year? We have 5 leagues going Prem, French, Spanish, German & Italian, but the French League started this weekend so you've missed a week if you intend joining that one. Hoping to see you in at least a couple of them. Lots of apps available this year, android, iOS and of course the usual on the PC, making it more convenient than B4.

I wondered how long Freedman would get for impersonating a manager but then I realised he hasn't yet.!!!!

Won't be long before the Dougster's, curiously quiet today, are back shouting it's too early to make judgements on the season. Well my answer to that isn't printable. The team today was everything I expected it to be and so was the performance. We're just a very poor, not even average side I'm afraid and beatings like this won't help confidence nor will Freedman's insane comments about attitudes when he came here. Players I'm sure wanted to play just not for him and most of the attitude appeared to come from his direction anyway. If I walk up to you and smile you'll smile back, if I walk up to you and sneer you'll do the same. I can't ever imagine Freedman having a harmonious squad because he's too disruptive and blanks people too easily. I'm not surprised the likes of Boggers, Davvo, Chungy want out so would I where he's taking us. Yes, I know, more negativity, yawn, yawn, but one of these days you Dougster's will see the light just not yet eh? Too early in the season. that is a brilliant post there Whites. i seem to remember reading it at the time but didn't give it full credit as was too busy. glad i've found it again. it's one thing us fans getting annoyed with DF's post match idiotic comments but players must read & hear of them too. they must see players he's talked up and been pally with one minute getting booted out unceremoniously. i still think the poor start to last season had a lot to do with how he treated Davo at the end of the previous season. players didn't trust Doug-loss after seeing the shabby treatment of KD. i remember hearing a story about Fergie selling Keith Gillespie to Newcastle.. he deliberately lied to Newcastle about his wages to do KG a good turn..even though he was getting rid of him. the word gets back to other mates in the squad, and they know..you do good for me, and i'll look after you. the likes of SAF treat players like their part of his family . Df treats them like lumps of meat . KD needed to go as he was playing awful but there's a classy way to do it. Andrews and Eagles have not had problems at other clubs yet are treated like naughty schoolchildren. ties in great with Joanna's post on the Boro thread about BSA's man management...even getting loose cannons like Dioufy onside.. humouring them , and getting people like Jay Jay who underperformed at certain clubs (psg) to play to his max here. i listened to GMR while at the game, and the commentator, Dearden spoke of how we looked transformed after we'd scored. surge of confidence. it didn't last long, but it's that kind of belief a good man manager gives you...you play AS IF you are already 1-0 up. with DF we play as if we are already 1-0 down. chins on chest. when you're only putting 11 tackles in ..1 per 10 mins almost... are the players really playing for you !!?!?

Thank you Megson, I usually attract insults!!! I think you and Jo are spot on about what makes a good manager a good manager. I was just listening on the radio today about the Man U team that thrashed Arsenal 8-2 in SAF's last season and 8 of them were players now classed as crap and dispensable so the conclusion was that it was only through SAF's management that he got so much from them. look, we don't have to be footballers, we can all relate to managers we've worked for who got more from us by knowing how to handle us. As Jo said BSA used different methods with different players to get the best from them. Surely that's what management is about and differentiates. Unfortunately Gartside clearly doesn't see this and generally looks for puppets who will do as they're told when what we really need is someone of character, good with players and aware of their needs and differing personalities. The final proof of Freedman's total lack in this area was his comment "I never make friends of players". That says everything about him to me. Get rid, now or we'll continue to slide. My overall judgement on people is pretty simple. Would I enjoy a pint with him/her. I think as far as DF is concerned the answers obvious!!!
