CodeRed Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 3 minutes ago, W-S-M Seagull said: Earthy you can kinda maybe understand. But Twine should have just been thrown in. He's familiar with us and our players and Manning. But not the game plan in and out of possession, how we've trained to overcome Millwall etc. One thing we do know about Liam is he does meticulous planning with every session planned for countering the opposition and making sure everybody is drilled in their job. It would be out of character for him to change anything at such a late stage. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcfc01 Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 1 minute ago, Davefevs said: I actually thought Twine would start. So did I, didn't expect to see Earthy start but certainly expected Twine as he's had a pre-season and played in friendly games and knows the set up. But as @CodeRed said, he's missed the build up to this game and LM isn't the type to change things last minute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBFC II Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 Just now, Sweeneys Penalties said: Re Twine: Does a player have to be registered by a certain time on a Friday to get playing time on a Saturday? Considering he's on the bench he must have been registered in time. I'd imagine it's a case of Manning having made a game plan for this one, and not wanting to change it at the last minute to incorporate a new player 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's familiar with us and our players and Manning. He’s not totally to be fair. From a limited sample we’ve played slightly stylistically differently this year, and Armstrong is very much a different type of player to Conway. He’s also not even trained with Bird so that’s 2 of his 5 “key relationships” in a tweaked system. The starting from the bench is completely justifiable whether people think it’s the right or wrong call. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes sorry I missed Cam . So a 50 percent improvement on where I thought we were . We made such a big thing about the squad composition from home grown , just a year ago . things change and the club are reverting back to the historical approach of signing lots of players. It is a shame it has changed so quickly . But they must feel the academy is not the producing right now players who can get the results they want today. As soon as they get money to spend they forget the academy . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm too excited about Armstrong, Fally, Eartho, Twine, Bird and how Mehmeti continues to develops to be upset over Tommy leaving.

I guess you allow them to develop before chucking them in it too early. If he's got the ability, I'm sure that will start to shine at u18 and u23 level but let's be honest, we all have only been made aware of him because of two 20-30 minute cameos in pre-season, against lower league opposition. If we were chasing the game with 20 minutes to go, I'd rather see Cornick come on, at least we know what we'll get. Pecover will have his time I'm sure, but picking him over a vastly more experienced player wouldn't be the wisest move imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
