Day Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 53 minutes ago, Kernow said: Well Olsson is definitely starting today I don't like this personally, a lot of people are pretty pissed right now over him being dropped, as of right now we don't know if he's been dropped or injured. They did train on Friday so there is a chance he could be injured. My issue is either you are giving Brentford a tactical heads up, whilst you can argue he wouldn't have even started anyway so it doesn't matter, what happens when a player like Ince, makes a similar tweet? 2pm the team sheets go out anyway so it's not like it would come as a great surprise but minimise the time they do know what team they will be facing, no point giving them an extra couple of hours. Unless it's public knowledge you are out injured then I don't think players should be tweeting like this. Might just be me here making a mountain out of a mole hill, to be honest it's a small mountain as I'm not raging or anything, just saying me no like this.

RamNut Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Just cause he's having a coffee with someone doesn't mean he's not playing does it? and what difference tactically would it make anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srg Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 He wouldn't have played, not bothered he's not involved but players should really not be tweeting a thing on a match day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RicME85 Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Aye saw that. Not the first time he has tweeted 'my turn comes soon' when hasnt been involved. Get the feeling he is wondering why he has swapped the top half of the table in Lique 1 for not getting in the squad in the Championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be wrong, but its one of those signings where you just get the feeling he's not going to be given even a chance to show what he can do on the pitch properly and will be off on loan come the summer. I hope I am wrong as I would like to see him at least get a chance seen as he is actually an out and out winger! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srg Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 I get the same feeling. Hopefully it's not the case, as whether you agree with his signing or not, he's here now and needs a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamNut Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 I don't think any of this will help brentford guess the team. we still couldn't guess the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly, he has been given 5 minutes here and there in the league, nowhere near enough to show us what he is capable of. Blackman, Weimann etc are not wingers and have had plenty of time to be effective out wide, but it just does not suit them. If he plays a couple of games and it turns out he isn't great, at least we gave him the chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may as well as have just tweeted "@BrentfordFC hi I'm not playing today" and even if he wasn't playing or in the squad, shouldn't he be travelling anyway? I thought all senior players travelled to all senior games? Hughes, Bryson etc were there not long after their injuries. 58 minutes ago, RamNut said: Just cause he's having a coffee with someone doesn't mean he's not playing does it? He's in a cafe at gone 11am in Ormskirk near Southport, so yeah it does mean he's not playing. Not sure why he's not in London regardless. He's a DCFC senior player and should be with the squad whether he's injured, dropped or whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ValeRam Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 My advice to the manager and his team would be to stick to the plan and not to panic Last week the team selection was fine and for 70 minutes I was perfectly happy with the performance. There was every chance at that stage we were going to go on to win. But then we (i.e. the manager) totally panics, makes a couple of disastrous substitutions, totally throws away the structure and game plan of the team and, lo and behold, we get beat. Quite hard to understand why its so difficult for people who have been at the highest level of the game for years and years to see that if you don't stick to the team structure and keep your shape, you will totally confuse the players (as well as yourself) , lose momentum and, in all likelihood, lose a game you should have won. Why do we have to make things so complicated and difficult for ourselves ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
