Stuttle gone

[Cph.shots]

I get it as regards to favourites but and certainly with regards to a certain midfielder but two new loan defenders have come in and got game time.
Maybe the tu/place isn't quite right for JS and its no one"fault".

[brian bloomfield]

It will be interesting to see how Stuttles contribution will effect Farnboroughs push for promotion which has slightly faltered of late. Some juicy matches coming up for them.

Wouldn't some communication from the Chairman and Manager be a great thing for the football club

[Old Bob]

Everybody has opinions on different players but we have a manager who has favourites
that is plain too see.

If TW is playing his favourites which in turn means he is not necessarilly playing his strongest 11 available each game,(which i think most of us agree he is not) then the only sensible conclusion is that he cannot have the clubs best interests at heart.
We can't be 100% sure this is what he is doing each game, but if i was a betting man ............Questions must surley be floating around the boardroom as to whether this is the case

While I am sympathetic to your point of view, I don't think your logic stands up. It is perfectly possible that Tommy thinks in his own mind that he is playing his strongest 11. That's why they are his favourites, because Tommy believes they are part of his group of "strongest" players. Few would agree, but maybe that's how he sees things.

Good luck.

Another record and repeat pre match interview this week!

Not a word on the pre match video

Not even a token ‘thanks for his efforts and good luck’?

based on his first few minutes at Aldershot I thought he was going to be a real difference maker, like it'd almost be unfair we had him. Class touch, big, strong, fast enough, and based on youtube, can definitely finish. I assume Farnborough will now see the same.

I think the club should've at least mentioned all this. Could've just said that they were happy with Barham's play, wanted to bring on Stuttle slowly with a view to using him more down the stretch, or something. They're going to need another loanee now for depth if nothing else.

I think this is obviously true. I think it's taken them a while to work out what they want from this team but for all the naysaying, they have been playing quite well for a while now. (it's not just me, Rob W says this all the time on his podcast and he's been around the block a few times and knows the leagues). The points haven't come but to my mind this is a mid-table team that's on the wrong side of the variance every football club experiences.

The problem is that Tommy seems to want a high variance game and so has to accept some share of the blame for weird results. The best teams to the EBB this season have scored goals and shut up shop, whereas we keep playing this pinball football which means we have it in us to beat anyone but leaves us open to conceding at any moment, hence all the 2-2 draws etc. They tightened things up in the autumn but found we couldn't score.

[brian bloomfield]

The management team should always know what they want from this team. There's no doubt they like to change things up which of course you would do for different styles of operartional play.

Recent results have been very promising and throughout the season so far, to be fair many draws could easily have gone either way.

Getting excited for Saturday and our onwards march to Wembley.

Fair point ob,but if TW thinks by playing Jr over at least 2 others ,because he thinks Jr is stronger, then we do have a problem.
I am not one to slag off individual players, but i would imagine 99%on here would argue that Jr is not the strongest, and i do think TW knows this, but still insists on playing him,so i would argue he is not playing his srongest 11 due to his favourites.

The blind spots with Theo, Maghoma, JVS and Mullins really seem to defy logic.

The blind spots with Theo, Maghoma, JVS and Mullins really seem to defy logic.

Jimmy Greaves suffered a bad cut in the last group game against France and was replaced by Geoff Hurst for the quarter final challenge of Argentina. Jimmy was everyone’s favourite, and with 44 goals in only 50 odd games for England he was probably the greatest goal scorer of my lifetime.

But Alf picked teams to win games. He was certainly like Tommy in that he was obdurate, and always ignored the opinion of others. However, unlike Tommy, he was a good manager. In fact for the job in hand, probably the best.

JG what a player he was…the very best England ever had
Shame there’s not too many YouTube clips of him


Never blasted the ball … passed the ball into the net

R.I.P Jimmy

Feels like TW could have said it in person? Think we’ve always talked about players who have left in the past?
