Are you for real?Sunny wrote:Have just had a quick look at Friday's game reports. Firstly may I say that Torquay were not at their best but I can't really blame them, my blame falls with Buckle. OK I know he has a lot of fans but why oh why does he keep getting on loan players and playing them above the players that have contracts. Blah! Blah! Blah! Blah!
We get players in on loan to improve the overall ability of the squad, usually at a cheaper cost than signing someone on a contract, as the loaning club usually pays a percentage of their wage. It also means Bucks can look at players over a period of games to see that they complement our existing squad. Stanley has come in to replace our creative centre midfielder and (IMO) is a huge improvement over NW, whos performance seems to have dropped over the last year or so, with just the odd excellent performance (sorry Barns!). Benners was almost certainly going to leave in the summer when out of contract, so replacing him in the starting 11 with Billy made sense (I happen to think he will be better than Benners and has age on his side). I dont think Jakey Robinson is a direct replacement for Benners like some, as he is more a winger who can play up front. Thats why he's usually playing on the left wing where he can cut in and score goals regularly and get crosses in. The reason for Tomlin and Murray on loan is that we have one out and out striker in the 1st team squad (not for want of trying to sign another) and that just isnt enough. As for your comments on Zebs, alongside Branners, he has been our most consistent performer over the whole season.
If you really think the likes of Danny should be starting ahead of Zebs or Jakey, then I assume you also believe in the tooth-fairy and leprechauns? Saul is just not ready to start regularly but with more experience, and learning how to vary his game against opponents, I think he will be an asset. Danny however, whilst he is good to bring on against tiring defenders, when he starts he is usually shut out of the game by half time. L2 defenders are a cannier bunch then BSP ones, and the full backs usually have more pace.
