Subject: Perspectives Author: Bob [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: "Mon, Apr 11 2011, 22:26:48 GMT" In reply to: Birmingham Post 's message, "Match Report from Brian Dick" on "Mon, Apr 11 2011, 11:33:26 GMT" I think Mr Dick has provided a very poor ,unbalanced perspective of the game. He appears somewhat bias in his report. A shabby peice of journalism at best. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

Slapdash [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: "Tue, Apr 12 2011, 0:45:05 GMT" You may disagree with his call of the Moseley performance (being oversees I'd hardly know) but I find it hard to see the bias towards Bee's. He's pretty damning of them as well. Let's face it, it was a bottom of the table clash. Just my 2 cents (1.22 pence) worth. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> Subject: Reality Author: Red 'n' Black [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: "Tue, Apr 12 2011, 7:51:30 GMT" Let's face it, many supporters - not all I know - but many would have been happy at the start of the season to be safe of relegation with a game to go. Yes, it would have been nice to have finished fifth or sixth, say, and performed well in the promotion playoffs, but that would almosat inevitably have involved extra outlay on players for the whole season. At the end of it all, we wouldn't have got promotion, or been in a position to accept promotion. Let's celebrate the fact we've survived without spending money we don't have. Thoughts of dazzling exploits in the upper reaches of the Championship are a bit premature unless some generous fan out there has a few hundred thousand to lob the club's way so we can go fully professional and build the infrastructure to pass Prem regs. Any offers? [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> Subject: Alternative reality Author: BillesleyNomad [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: "Tue, Apr 12 2011, 12:11:02 GMT" There is a perfectly acceptable medium between the situation we were in and the 5/6th place finish and a good run in the playoffs mentioned by R&B. I certainly don't know anyone who would have been happy at the start of the season with the thought of us avoiding relegation in the penultimate match of the season. The reality seems to me that we have assembled the strongest squad we've seen for some years; one which should have been capable of finishing ahead of 4 other teams in the regular season. Indeed I thought at the start that Rotherham would be a good team to match our progress against and that 45 points would be the bench mark for safety. With the benefit of hindsight I still think those were attainable with the squad available. While I am, needless to say, delighted that we avoided the drop (and gutted in equal measure that work kept me away from the game)I am still deeply concerned at the inonsistency of our performances throughout the season. For the good of the club and future planning the euphoria of escaping relegtaion (a situtaion we should not have been in) must not obscure the problems of the 22 games which preceeded the playoffs (nor indeed the first 2 playoff games.)

[> [> Subject: agree with captain Author: The real Dave [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: "Tue, Apr 12 2011, 11:13:05 GMT" I've never detected anything in Brian's writings that could be called bias. Disappointment, perhaps, but even the most rabid pro-Moseleyite would have to agree with him there. In the joy of the result I think some of you have rose tinted your memory of the game. Despite all Bees problems (that Brian rightly refers to), we were not real sure of the result until after the final whistle. I lost count of the number of times we kicked away possession to absolutely no advantage. Ollie is a fabulous place kicker, and useful all over the pitch, but his kicking out of hand needs vast improvement before we base our whole game on it. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
