Much as it's fun to see people eat humble pie think OP can be let off Nothing to do with humble pie, most of them were the usual suspects and their comments pointed towards Wagner not knowing what he was doing. Most of what was said was due to people wanting our club to fail 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Much as it's fun to see people eat humble pie think OP can be let off *Everyone* was poor prior to today. The awful tactics and absence of any coherent plan made it pretty much impossible for the players to utilise their strengths. Dowell has a very specific skill set. We're witnessing what happens when players are unleashed to play their natural game rather than fit into a flawed system. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fully expected the team to show Thier gratitude by battering someone. Perhaps time for you to consider a forum hiatus? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nexus_Canary 699 Posted January 14 (edited) @Bert look on the brightside. In the annual pinkun awards you have just already taken first prize in the category for "Comes back to bite him in the backside" Or "Daftest comment of the year" (although @littleyellowbirdie has multiple submissions so you could be out on this one) Edited January 14 by Nexus_Canary 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm asking a different question (and indeed a genuine question). The OP's original question is very obviously rhetorical (i.e it's meant rather straightforwardly as a criticism of selecting Dowell, implying there can be no reason for selecting Dowell. It is, after all, a standard rhetorical form used across all contexts, sporting and non-sporting). Or do you seriously believe Bert (somewhat notorious for making silly points) was genuinely asking a question? Edited January 15 by horsefly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
