Flea 6,714 Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 Defeatist babble from someone suffering from paranoia. Better than aggressive rants with no substances from a person suffering from delusions of adequacy. We are not the best team in this league. Teams can go out and buy a different quality and calibre of player that we can as their budget and their full time status unlocks more doors for them than we have. What we do have is a good competitive squad that is doing this Town proud and punching above its weight currently. We have a team with very few egos, who play as a unit and give us everything. We also have a manager that calls a spade a spade, knows what he wants and instils good team ethics into the team (bar one game at Welling) - a manager who has won more things at this club than anyone else, who is also consistently on bookies lists for vacant managers jobs. Just a shame he isn't cut out to be good enough for us... I'm happy in my bubble of paranoia watching this team up and down the country. Win or lose, I'm proud of this team and have no issue backing them. If you are equally happy crying into your computer screen and spending every waking moment disagreeing with everyone but ashy on footballing matters then good for you. It must suck to be you though - something that is as great as what we have got here and all you can do is complain and find negatives to pick at. Link to post Share on other sites

archie taylor 21 Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 There is nothing wrong with expectation! Expectation cannot be misguided as that would be only in the eyes of others and they don't really matter do they. My philosophy is "Aim high and you hit low" " Aim low and you hit F*ck All".

Agree Archie. A couple of quotes that fit the bill: “You can’t cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water.” ― Rabindranath Tagore And one for the Aspinazis: “Some people aim at nothing in life and hit it with amazing accuracy.” ― Aman Jassal, Rainbow - the shades of love Link to post Share on other sites

Hands Off The Shay 424 Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 Anyone know why Ainge was substituted last night? Tactical, poor performance or injury? Aspin appeared to be critical of the defence which suggests he may not have been happy with how he played. Hopefully I won't have to rely on NVK ratings as to the level of his performance! Aspin appears to rate Bolton so maybe he is due a starting place. Link to post Share on other sites

greygoose 1,741 Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 Badly at fault for killer second goal. Wasn't there so can't comment but I think since coming back into the side Ainge hasn't impressed overall. Don't think Bolton is the answer either.. Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Vincent 1,153 Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 Does make you worry if/when M Robbo goes in Jan. The thought of Aingey / Williams as a pair is pretty worrying! You have pace issues next to a defender that continually fouls people in stupid areas. Williams is a frustration, he has everything but you just cant trust him to get through a game without making gaffs. Ainge is the reverse - does not have everything but can be trusted 100%. Aingey is a very limited player, he knows it himself but his mistakes on the whole are few and far between and in terms of his passion and playing for the shirt then i would have to chose him over Williams every day of the week. I think the first port of call should be to put the Tank Matty P in his natural spot of centre back. Him and Aingey would be quite a fearsome pairing. K.Roberts*Ainge©*Pearson*McManus - the New Year back four? Ironic isnt it, most have been frustrated at the amount of centre backs in the squad and its possibly an area we will need to improve / strengthen. Link to post Share on other sites
eddies mate 2,247 Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 Just hope Aspin has a like for like signing lined up should Roberts go.Been great last couple of years having a big dominant centre half who can contribute at other end of field too. Link to post Share on other sites
never_shay_die 1,148 Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 K.Roberts*Ainge©*Pearson*McManus - the New Year back four? It's a yes from me. Link to post Share on other sites
choppiebinkie 191 Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/30410325 Yesterday he was saying that we have paid money for players now he's saying that the chairwoman is having to donate money to keep things on an even keel. So this suggests the club arent living within their means and over spending on players wages. As i said yesterday compare what they spend on players wages and signing on fees etc and what we pay out over a season and you will quickly see who pays the most for players Link to post Share on other sites

samfcht 989 Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 at fault for the second goal I think but wasn't dreadful or anything, was surprised to see him subbed but Bolton performed well Link to post Share on other sites
