Guest bywaterred Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I know I'm not one to comment on twitter behaviour... But! I do think that's a bit of a silly thing to do. Del wouldn't think much of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlanta_Red Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 If I was Del and I was aware of this, he'd be sat on his arse next week too, albeit a few quid lighter in his pocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevP Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Seemed to give 110% early doors...some superb performances where he just never stopped running, then sadly, very, very average. Looking at his career, seems to be a similar pattern, so IMO no real loss. I personally wont miss him one bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC Jordan Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Don't see anything wrong with his tweet to be honest.

Atlanta_Red Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 It's disrespectful and undermining.

barney999 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Feel really confused, Del is always saying were too open when we play 442 so what is a 3:0 score line? We are losing regularly playing the more tight 433.... Don't see why we cannot try for a few games if we still loose we have not lost anyway as were losing anyway!!!!

We are losing regularly playing the more tight 433.... Don't see why we cannot try for a few games if we still loose we have not lost anyway as were losing anyway!!!! Totally agree. My view is that if we are going to lose, which we are almost very game at the moment without scoring, we may aswell lose trying to score goals and trying to be positive!!! I know some are dead set against 4-4-2 but it can't get much worse can it? Don't blame Stead for his tweet either, he has every right to be frustrated and it wasn't exactly malicious - if you look at his tweets since he goes on to say he will continue to knuckle down and work hard in training.

Guest Red Eyed Monster Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 The problem with his comments are the line where he says 'my patience running thin'. So what are you saying Jon? I'm sure Brett feels exactly the same but he isn't going public with his frustrations, or coming out with veiled threats?

simon uk Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 its been a long time since stead has made any kind of contribution to the first team, and he is probably one of the highest paid players.

Keepers Ball Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Lightweight, lanky streak of piss who doesn't score enough and has flattered to deceive at every club he's been at.

Admin Ian M Posted February 12, 2012 Admin Share Posted February 12, 2012 But your point has nothing to do with what stead tweeted about. He a professional frustrated not to be playing in a side who can't buy a goal at the moment and I understand where's he's at! I think it's a good think he's pissed off he's not playing . Beats him just sitting back without a care in the world picking up his wages. He'd be in my side...

Kibs Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Surprised at some of the criticism around Stead's ability. My main issue with him is that he has been too injury prone and not been fit / available often enough. Whenever he has got himself match fit and had a run of games, he has always looked a very good footballer to me. He has never really been an out and out goalscorer, more a support striker really who chips in with a few goals. He has far more quality about him than a lot of our squad, his movement off the ball, willingness to run the channels and ability to bring others into the game is very good. He came on with Pitman at Coventry after returning from injury and I thought he looked excellent, I fully expected him to be involved a bit more thereafter but much to my surprise he was dropped completely. Lets be honest here - he can do no worse than the other forwards we have can he. I would like to see him and Pitman starting on Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kibs Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 The poor lads "patience is wearing thin". His wallet isn't. There's probably a very good reason why he's bench warming at best and I would suggest that he ask the manager what that reason is, rather than whinging on a social networking site like a kid. He may not like the answer although I would think he already knows it and has probably been told in no uncertain terms. Wood coming in should be an indicator. What the **** has it got to do with his wallet? At least he wants to play FFS. Whinging like a kid? Why? Because it's on Twitter? I guess you are old. Get used to it, it's the way the world is and it will clearly only get bigger (social networking etc). Players couldn't speak as publicly years ago because the format wasn't there and life was much different - i get that but times change. It wasn't exactly malicious, I've said much worse myself after a shitty day at the office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanatopia Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 He does go on to tweet he will keep on trying hard... probably realising he should not have tweeted those earlier remarks since, of course, many a true word said in jest or is it rather frustration, either way...

Whale Eye Beef Hooked Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I think he is a very good player, makes clever runs., uses the channels well which should make space for others but unfortunatly our midfield get a nosebleed if they enter the box.... He seems a good professional and i would rather hear him moan about not playing than see players such as Nicky Hunt driving around in his bently seemingly happy picking up his wages for doing naff all when he was with us. He always seems to give 100% when i have seen him play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
