Title: Andy King talks crap yet again!
Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Monday, January 17, 2005, 11:08:15
i was astonished 2 read an article in 1 of yesterdays papers which quoted andy king blaming grant smith for the draw on saturday. what a pile of crap! i thought smith was 1 of our beta players its just that king will always bum his little crop of players  (matt heywood, matt hewlett and david duke) and their all crap!

Mr King seems to blame certain individuals Smith being one of them, but he fails to critcise others, I'll agree with you on that one.  But how you can slate Dukey after his recent performances I'll never know.  Played out of position constantly and I for one think Duke's season has improved, if everyone else had shown the same improvement Town wouldn't be languishing  mid table, we'd be up with Hull, Tranmere and Wednesday.

Dukey was one of our best players saturday, if it wasn't for his block at the end we could have lost 3-2!!  Least he is actually playing with pride and a bit of passion at the moment.  Smith was alright but I thought he could have done better, but didn't deserve to be slated by king like that.

Since the booing thing Dukey has been one of our best players. FACT

I've more respect for him now as a player and a bloke for the way he's dealt with getting shit from sections of our fans

Good man Pieface, credit where its due, and Duke deserves it, even if King doesn't for continually playing him at full back.

Come May I wanna be  :beers , but i think I'll be  :cry:  or  :evil:

Don't take on the Daisy Duke fan club, Decks, we've got way too many members now.  Do you want Dukey to give you the clap then?

i think what rich meant that we do have better skilled players than duke for the position he is being played in at the moment. Duke was my man of the match on sat and i'm sure everyone will pretty much agree with that.

Dukey is playing well because he's one of the very few players (especially defenders) that can actually be arsed!

(I 100% agree with you Si, but if you're a player and you're manager picks you, you'd pretty much play in any position.  The treatment he got from some so called fans, was disgraceful earlier in the season.  Good to see some people giving him credit now though.  Don't think he's work rate was ever in question.  All the questions should've been levelled at King not Dooke.

the problem is that it's frustrating when kingy slags off particular players but not others (heywood etc.). This is when the fans get rattled and start to boo their own players etc. Why king continues to field brian howard is an example.

Post by: janaage on Monday, January 17, 2005, 13:22:10
Don't get me started on Howard, I was actually gutted that he scored (against Brentford??), I wished it was someone else cos I knew that Kingy would think that cos he scored Howard had a good game.  For a man with such talent, he doesn't half waste it.  I wonder if he's bored of League one footie and wants a new challenge.  The problem is playing like he is now I can't see any Championship side coming in for him.


Title: Andy King talks crap yet again!
Post by: Simon Pieman on Monday, January 17, 2005, 13:24:51
no i could only see a league 2 or a weaker league 1 team wanting him. He needs to realise that if you put 100% into a game and you have the talent you will get 100% out of the game. I think igoe is starting to realise this and put more effort in. In the 1st half he got some decent crosses into the box i thought

I was a very happy man to see him on the bench on sat. hopefully he'll get his fat ass doen the gym now.

Fallon had possibly his best game of the season on satuday i thought (not much competition there!), cant remember one occasion where him and SSP got in each others way


Title: Andy King talks crap yet again!
Post by: Simon Pieman on Monday, January 17, 2005, 13:32:42
yeh pieface you are right. I felt that the (dare i say) old mooney/parkin style partnership was re-surfacing. Fallon did not play selfishly and i think the fact he set up smithy against bradford has given him the confidence to work WITH the team and not trying to prove himself to anyone.


Title: Andy King talks crap yet again!
Post by: janaage on Monday, January 17, 2005, 13:38:53
I hope that's true Pieman, about the players not being too selfish.  Think that was a big problem in the last couple of months.  Smithy's more of a team player, whereas you get the feeling with howard that he's trying to  hard to be the match winner.  I also think Igoe, after his goal against Bradford, was being a little too selfish.  Teamwork's what will get you out of this division.


Title: Andy King talks crap yet again!
Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Monday, January 17, 2005, 13:49:00
yeh teamwork will get us out of this division but we really need 2 do is get the ball down on the ground and play some proper footy. i agree with u fallon played well on sat.

Absolutely correct.

I didn't see the goal because someone decided to stand in front of me, but if the goal came about because of an error by Smith then it's his fault and nobody elses.

Post by: Simon Pieman on Monday, January 17, 2005, 18:06:33
it's not just his fault, the defence could have got the ball away!

Just saw the goal and not sure how it's his fault tbh!

Because he diverted a pathetic shot in when he didn't need to move?

(I'm guessing, I haven't seen a replay)

He didn't touch it, the only way you can blame him is because he was the person nearest to the ball and player.


Title: Andy King talks crap yet again!
Post by: Simon Pieman on Monday, January 17, 2005, 19:14:52
that was the point i was making...the entire defence is at fault. I spose he could have got the ball away but the rest of the defence has just stood there like lemons. I haven't seen the replay so it will be interesting to see if this is the case. I was sitting in that corner of the nationwide though

I'm with SY on this one saw the goals on TV and couldn't see how he could single out GS for the late goal, unless there was something in the build up.  Hope he's not dropped for it, he made SSP's first goal didn't he?


Title: Andy King talks crap yet again!
Post by: strooood on Tuesday, January 18, 2005, 11:35:15
he definetely set up parkin'ssecond with a lovely ball.

smith made a weak clearance in the build up to the goal when he should've left it to go through to rhys. perhaps rhys should've called a bit louder  :-))(

i know what you mean about smith. like i've said before i dont think he's good enough for our first 11 when everyone'sfit, but i like his honesty and commitment, same reason i like evans
