Cherries: Bradders' boys all shook up
4:56pm Saturday 22nd October 2011 in What's On
By Neil Perrett
BATTLING Bury came from behind to heap more Seward Stadium misery on Lee Bradbury’s League One strugglers.
Marc Pugh’s first-half opener should have put Cherries on course to record only their second home win of the season as the hosts dominated.
But after Wes Thomas had spurned a glorious chance to double their lead, the Shakers levelled through Giles Coke’s well-taken effort on the stroke of half-time.
And after Andy Bishop had headed home in the 53rd minute, Bradbury’s men looked decidedly short on ideas for the remainder of the second half.
The defeat saw Cherries slip into the drop zone as Bradbury’s men suffered a fifth home league reverse.
Fit-again Michael Symes was named in the Cherries starting line-up for the first time this season following three impressive substitute appearances.
The striker, fully recovered from a persistent groin injury, partnered Wes Thomas in attack as boss Lee Bradbury opted to go with two up front.
Symes was drafted in for Shaun Cooper, who was nursing a calf problem, while new signing Charlie Sheringham was named among the Cherries substitutes.
Cherries made a flying start and could have taken the lead after just 76 seconds when Thomas curled an effort wide after trading passes with Symes.
Thomas, who gave the Shakers defence much to ponder during the early stages, also went close with a header and had a goalbound shot charged down.
Steven Schumacher fashioned Bury’s first shooting opportunity after 12 minutes, the midfielder firing wide following a brief spell of pressure from the visitors.
However, normal service was quickly resumed when Symes’s lay-off spilt the Bury defence, Thomas despatching a rasping drive into the side netting.
Darryl Flahavan got down smartly to smother after Coke had smuggled in at the far post before the Cherries goalkeeper saved comfortably from Mike Jones’s speculative long-range strike.
Cherries were rewarded for their endeavours when they opened the scoring through Pugh, the midfielder netting with a deflected effort four minutes before the interval.
Pugh then turned provider for Thomas, his perfectly-weighed cross somehow headed wide of the target by the striker from just six yards.
It was to prove a costly miss as the Shakers immediately mounted a counter-attack, with Coke sweeping home a left-foot shot to restore parity on the stroke of half-time.
Having seen Harry Arter limp off after 32 minutes, Cherries were forced into a further reshuffle when Joe Partington failed to appear for the start of the second half.
Partington was replaced by Wes Fogden, who lined up on the right wing, with Stephen Purches moving into the centre of midfield and Jaime Peters to right-back.
Bury seized the initiative for the first time eight minutes into the second period, Bishop giving Stephane Zubar the slip before heading home Phil Picken’s centre.
A timely tackle from Mark Hughes denied Thomas a shooting chance as Cherries struggled to repeat their first-half dominance after the break.
As Cherries went in search of a leveller, Peters burst forward to send a cross-shot fizzing over the top before Thomas headed over following a Steve Fletcher flick from a Purches throw.
Cherries: Flahavan, Purches, Zubar, Barrett, Cummings, Peters, Arter (Partington, 32, Fogden, h-t), Gregory, Pugh, Symes (Fletcher, 72), Thomas.
Unused subs: Sheringham, Jalal (g/k).

If Lee doesn't turn fortunes around within the next six games I cannot think that he can remain in charge. As much as I like the guy if he can't cut it as a manager it's time to bring someone in who can.
UTCIAD!
Ps. I wonder how many quotes the Echo team will secure after the match today to rehash over the next week?
My advice is don't bother!
If Mitchell won't let his players and management talk to you don't print anything. Simples.

Mitchell is the rotten stinking head of our club.
Mr Mitchell you have asset stripped this club to the extreme and have replaced the outgoing players with ones that are not up to what we as AFCB supporters expect or deserve.
Due to your actions and the way you have run this club, I'm affraid we are in serious decline........

Another sub-standard performance from a team that Bradders reckons will feature in the play-offs. Yeah right! Sorry Lee, but there is no chance of that judging by today's inept display! We are in a relegation battle, pure and simple.

We were poor and no doubt LB will say that injuries played a part but I am afraid that he must be on an heafty bonus for getting us relagated because he certainly is not dilivering the play off standard of football that he talked about.

Thats Bradburys 37th league game.
11 wins, 11 draws, 15 defeats.
Not only are we on course for relegation, many managers have been sacked with much better records.
A 29% win rate is too poor.
Change the manager - and do it very, very quickly.

Mitchell is to blame for this shambles! robinson, feeney, jason pearce, ings, danny hollands, wiggins, bartley. mcquoid, pitman - we didn't sign mcdermot or smith on a free too
please rename the steve fletcher stand, the novelty wore off when he became assistant manager, lost his balls and turned into a yes man
we need to sign 2 full backs, a centre back, a centre midfielder and a winger

Several chances wasted & Bury, after first 15 mins, looked confident, capable and a team who knew their roles.
The two midfield injuries did cause disruption, (although Partington was putting some bite in midfield until injured in a tackle), but we never controlled the game.
The non acceptance of being in relegation trouble was one thing, but talk of the play-offs before we even start winning at home is a joke.

It so easily could have been a different story but the fighting spirit just drained away.
Perhaps Bradders and Fletch should swap roles with Paul Groves and Steve Gritt.

Unless we take our chances we will never win games home or away. Thomas should have had a hat trick in the first twenty minutes and was guilty of some glaring misses.

He may or may not have had to sell the players who have left the club over the past year or so but there is no doubt that he could have forced them to stay and see out their contracts. The sales may or may not have been good business for AFCB. He forced out our highly successful management duo and he appointed an untried replacement duo on long contracts.
Several weeks ago when EM was still talking to the local press he wanted to take credit for presiding over two successful season so now he must take the flak for presiding over this disastrous season.
Eddie, where is the Russian investment? Eddie, how is progress with the proposed South End development. I suppose these figments of your imagination have been put in the bottom drawer now you have removed yourself from the firing line and no longer need diversions.

Tactically inept. Tactics; hoof the ball up the park.

My player of the match was young Foggy who worked his socks off for the short time he was on. The rest were clueless, Barrett included. Next time play the kids, at least they would give their all.
Bury were awful, yet outplayed us from the moment we scored.

Having lost Arter and his replacement Partington to injury, who did we have in midfield? We really need McDonald back. Gregory did very little apart from a few tackles and is just not mobile enough. Peters was anonymous in the 1st half and at least did OK at full back.
Wes Thomas ran his socks off but all that effort is useless if you can't stick the ball in the back of the net.
On the negative side, we just can't seem to go for 90 mins without going AWOL in defence 2 or 3 times and there it is; however good your approach play is, you have to take your chances and you have to avoid giving stupid goals away. Currently, at Dean Court, we are guilty of both and god knows how we are going to stop the rot.
Our only shining light was Pugh, who is getting back to his best but he'll be gone in January.

The three things that are making the season more unbearable than the football......
1. hundreds of disinterested 5 year olds kicking the back of my seat.
2. the terrible fitness level of the team.
3. the Eddie Howe huddle. Have they not realised, no one is watching them, we've all left the ground.
Stop doing it. Its pathetic now.

Bradbury must go now!!! Along with Fletcher both as a player and assistant manager.. Wes Thomas the new emile heskey but worse, the midgit in goal to the reserves, Barrett needs to learn how to pass and positioning.. Get Odissmal back in charge!!!!

4 points at home this season.
Any other manager would have walked or be sacked.
The three things that are making the season more unbearable than the football......
1. hundreds of disinterested 5 year olds kicking the back of my seat.
2. the terrible fitness level of the team.
3. the Eddie Howe huddle. Have they not realised, no one is watching them, we've all left the ground.
Stop doing it. Its pathetic now.

S O'D is a fine experienced manager, who left us because he was tired of having to constantly sell his better players and to have to rebuild his team every Season. He's no yes man either and wouln't accept interfence from above. Then too, he is likely to become Pompey's new manager this week. What is happening at the moment is so reminiscent of the Quinn regime, a thoroughly decent man, not a bad judge of a player either, but tactically naive and utterly unable to motivate and inspire his players. Sadly, for the good of the Club - he has to go and soon!

Nothing against Lee as a person, I've just never felt he was right for the job. I DO however feel sorry for him with all the injuries, as any manager would have difficulty with a similar situation. However this does alter the fact we need an experienced manager to get us out of the mire we're in. YES, Mitchell is ultimately responsible for the situation we're in, way back in January it was becoming obvious we could very well end up in this situation, Mitchell however does not have much idea and was certainly not going to listen to anyone outside of his small circle of yes men....
Let's not forget that Bradders was put in place as cover for the board if things went wrong this season after not filling the sale of players with proven league 1 players ! U lot that slate Bradders are total mugs and your not thinking straight ! The board are laffing at u !

To the scum fans who come on here to gloat and deride our failures; what goes around comes around and the current success of your nasty, cheating (how many penalties so far this season....?) club will not last forever. The biggest gaffe (of many) Mitchell made was to suggest we go and watch the scum....I'll do that willingly, when hell freezes over. Go and support your scum and stop proving your stupidity every time you make a pathetic comment worthy of a 7 year old on this site.
