Eye for a player, haha, do me a fucking favour!!!!!!luckyPeterpiper wrote:An eye for talent? Liam Trotter anybody?bwfc1874 wrote:He's not instead of a senior striker so I think you're being overly pessimistic. Try and separate the youth team from the first team.
I can't believe you attribute good signings to luck it's laughable. He has an eye for a player, yet you write that off as luck?
More seriously though, my point is that while he may have picked some good ones he's had as many 'mares come in. Add to that his inability to get the best out of the players on anything remotely approaching a consistent basis and you have a recipe for serious trouble if not disaster. For two seasons now we've been lucky in that loanees have come in and done very well. But some have also been appalling and frankly having to RELY on loanees to get you out of a jam in the second half of the season doesn't speak well as to your ability to get the best out of your own players.
But even leaving that aside sooner or later (and I suspect sooner, much sooner) we'll be in so deep a jam that even if the loanees do well it won't be enough. If we don't address the needs of the first team now then we'll be in League One and find it even harder to bring in prospects for the development squad anyway. No matter how nice the facilities are or how good the coaches in the youth setup might be if the club as a whole looks to be in freefall then the real talent will go elsewhere, even the previously unnoticed "hidden gems" will look at us and think they're better off not being here.
what, like Beckford, Trotter, Dervite, Davies, Moxey, Baptiste, yea right, are these the hidden gems that Freedman's going to polish up, YOU CAN'T POLISH A TURD!!!!
