' Two Strikers on the Bench? '

Sat Apr 23, 2016 7:49 am

Yesterdays Press Conferance

Sade was asked:You have two strikers on the bench, but none on the pitch to start. What are your thoughts on that?


SLADE:Anthony Pilkington is our leading goal-scorer. So the flip side would be, why on earth are we are we not starting with players who’ve scored for us this season? Lex Immers has come in as a number ten and scored five in 12. Pilkington has scored eight. It’s important you have your players on the pitch who are capable of scoring goals.
Craig Noone has six. If you are not careful, if you leave your best players out and start taking a look at Zohore and Saadi, who have one goal between them, there could be a problem.

It’s important to have players at this stage on the pitch who have served you well in terms of getting goals. Zohore is only 21 and still getting used to it, but he is improving and that was reflected in his cameo at Brentford. He’s still got a lot to learn, but he’s getting closer and it remains to be seen if he starts against Bolton. He’s going the right way though. We are pleased with his progress.

How the hell does he expect Saadi and Zohore to score if they are not getting game !

What a complete joke, so they only have one goal between them and yet he keeps them on the bench, how the hell can they score on the bench :lol: you can't make this shit up. Go on Slade, gamble for a change, you got nothing to lose.

And some people genuinely want to give this clown another contract? :o

Every time he opens his mouth he just confirms how useless he truly is.

I agree. It makes you wonder about the people backing him who can't see the wood for the trees.
I even read on here that someone felt sorry for him!
He's much to negative a manager in everything he does or says for me. Jeez, he even stands for the whole match with his hands folded and resting on his beer belly.
:lol:
