Weston Super Saint Posted 18 September, 2008 Posted 18 September, 2008 Aside from the fact that he waddles with his arse sticking out - a bit like Donald Duck - he was very poor last night. I would have thought that being out of the team for so long, and finally getting a decent[ish] run out, he would have been hungry to prove a point. Perhaps he doesn't have one to prove.....
Saint_clark Posted 18 September, 2008 Posted 18 September, 2008 Just as I reply to you on the other thread, you post this I thought he put in a very good performance last night. Yes, one cross went straight out of play, but he is not a left footed player. His control and touch seemed a lot better, and he timed his runs very well. Play him on the right wing and he will do a very good job IMO- he was scoring for fun from that position in pre-season, and we haven't exactly got someone holding that place down for their own.
Saintmike666 Posted 18 September, 2008 Posted 18 September, 2008 Very overrated player, if it wasn’t for his family connections I’m sure he would be playing for a much lower division club then he is.
pele Posted 18 September, 2008 Posted 18 September, 2008 I fairness to him, I thought he played not too bad last night better than his colleague Mr Dyer who lived up to his surname!
swannymere Posted 18 September, 2008 Posted 18 September, 2008 You must have been watching a different game from me, i thought he put alot of effort in last night and also started a couple of clever moves, more than Dyer has done in the last 2 seasons.
Dicko Posted 18 September, 2008 Posted 18 September, 2008 I've never really rated BWP, but I must admit he played well last night.

Must have. All I saw was him skulking around the half way line, jogging back to defend, then taking as much time as possible to get going again when we broke. Not to mention the passes that went to no-one in particular. He did put in one good challenge though.

What a crock of s**t. Admittedly a decidely average player but to post that after his performance last night beggars belief. When he came on he seemed the only player actually willing to directly attack Ipswich.

I think the confusion lies between willingness and ability....
Saint2Hotty Posted 18 September, 2008 Posted 18 September, 2008 I actually think he looked okay last night too! There was one point where he should have stuck closer to the defender when we hoofed the ball up field to put him under pressure but didn't move. Apart from this I think he actually looked quite sharp!
derry Posted 18 September, 2008 Posted 18 September, 2008 Looked like he could play wide successfully in this team, unlike McGoldrick and White who lacked the discipline to play wide. They just wandered inside leaving the midfield short of options.

Are you just another of these people that have preconceived ideas about players - perhaps ideas that are not even your own - and even if the performance of the player totally contradicts `your opinion' you still refuse to acknoweldge that they played well?
fareham saint phil Posted 18 September, 2008 Posted 18 September, 2008 Thought he was very useful when he came on last night, i wanted him on at half time for McGoldrick

Clearly. That's why everyone is agreeing with me
Hatch Posted 18 September, 2008 Posted 18 September, 2008 A Premiership side was looking at him before his recent 'problems'.
Deanovski Posted 18 September, 2008 Posted 18 September, 2008 he has a good game,good tackling quick and alright passing.
saint_ed Posted 18 September, 2008 Posted 18 September, 2008 I could not quite believe how unfit he was last night. He was physically unable to track his runners and was blowing out his arse after 5 minutes of running. I'm fully aware he has not been playing recently, but has he not done any fitness training while being out the first team picture??????
Rattlehead Posted 18 September, 2008 Posted 18 September, 2008 Is BWP ever going to be any good? lol, I wouldn't have f*cking thought so.
Arizona Posted 18 September, 2008 Posted 18 September, 2008 BWP seems to have one good game (take Burnley (a), Barnsley (a) or Bristol City (h) last season) then be complete gash for the next 5 games. Hasn't scored since Burley left either.

ALWAYS_SFC Posted 18 September, 2008 Posted 18 September, 2008 I think he did pretty well last night and should start along with Pekhart. And put McGoldrick on the bench for a while as he was truly gash last night, to be honest i am not sure what people see in him,average at best.
dubai_phil Posted 18 September, 2008 Posted 18 September, 2008 He may actually fit in to the system better than a 4-4-2, Wide right and not so far forward, les slikely to be offside every 30 seconds. DMG played left midfield under Burley, may be a better balance with DMG left & BWP right, although I'd prefer to seea "mentally fit" Skacel at LB & Surman on the left wing, leaving the pace with BWP on the right, then we get passing and brains on one side and pace on the other
offix Posted 19 September, 2008 Posted 19 September, 2008 Is BWP ever going to be any good? YES, in our relegation season from League 1
LostBoys Posted 19 September, 2008 Posted 19 September, 2008 No he and Dire together - more failed chances than I have had hot dinners
Johnny Shearer Posted 19 September, 2008 Posted 19 September, 2008 As long as he doesnt miss an open goal/or fail to score from a one-on-one situation and then proceeds to say, "I'll never miss from those type situations again." As we all know what followed for the remainder of the season. BWP missed several times from similar circumstances!
Weston Super Saint Posted 21 September, 2008 Author Posted 21 September, 2008 Having sat through 90 mins of not much entertainment on Wednesday, I didn't go yesterday - that and I went to work - so can someone summarise what sort of game our Bradders had?? Did he have another blinder like he did on Wednesday [LMFAO]??
Dicko Posted 22 September, 2008 Posted 22 September, 2008 I praised him after the Ipswich match, but on Saturday he was absolutely woeful. He lacks any kind of footballing intelligence. He was supposed to be playing on the wing, but just got drawn into the middle all the time. We had two occassions where we had great openings, but nobody was out wide It was because BWP had deserted his position Unfortunately, he earns a living on the back of his family name
slickmick Posted 22 September, 2008 Posted 22 September, 2008 BWP is at his peak, so its more likely he will get worse from here on.

ericofarabia Posted 22 September, 2008 Posted 22 September, 2008 Maybe seeing as Man City have so much money now, they wouldn't mind if we swapped BWP for SWP

sidthesquid Posted 22 September, 2008 Posted 22 September, 2008 Just for a moment against Ipswich I weakened and thought, just maybe he might one day be okay. And then I watched the Barnsley match.......
Neilza Posted 22 September, 2008 Posted 22 September, 2008 I hope he never plays for us again, he was awful saturday. I haven't seen someone play that badly for a long time. He had all last season and bits of the season before and yet he looked like the youngest, most inexperienced player on the pitch! Didn't have a clue.

L1Minus10 Posted 22 September, 2008 Posted 22 September, 2008 I'm more likely the **** all of Girls Aloud.
Arizona Posted 22 September, 2008 Posted 22 September, 2008 BWP seems to have one good game in five, which was coincidentally has scoring ration last season. Every once in a while he makes a decent sub appearance and people crawl out of the woodwork and say, "OMFG BWP was great he MUST start the next game!!!!" It happened last yea after the games against Burnley (a), Barnsley (a) and Bristol City, but some people just never learn, much like BWP. There are those on here who are convinced EVERY player in our squad is good enough to play in the CCC, but BWP just isn't. If his names was Bradley Jones and we'd signed him from Aldershot for £100k, he'd have been out the door long ago.

Chez Posted 22 September, 2008 Posted 22 September, 2008 he's inconsistent, not just from match to match, but from move to move. I don't see many players in the current squad that aren't
