He's here for the season which is probably as long as many of the squad (without checking lengths of contracts of all the other players). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Johnnyrotten 243 Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Good to hear the encouraging comments from IE for Darcy and Politic, added to the faith he's obviously now got in Brockbank, Delaney and Crawford. Compared to the weak line up for the 1st day v FGR, when all 11 starters were new signings, and only 1 outfield player on the bench, he is starting to give the 'old' players a fair crack of the whip. Senior and Riley have also been recognised as having a chance to be included in future. Positive signs that IE may be looking beyond his own signings now that he has seen what they are about.

Mantra 95 Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Most disappointing part, aside from results, so far is that we're not dominating games like I expected us to. I thought that was Evatt's whole system, winning the ball back in 6 seconds etc. Not seen much of that. Teams look to be playing some decent football around us, not just hoofball like I thought the whole league would be. Didn't necessarily think we'd be 5-niling everyone but I thought we'd at least always be the team camped in the opposition half, trying to break through a low block and prevent getting counter-attacked too hard. If anything I thought that would be our biggest problem, trying to beat teams who just sit off. We've only won games when we've had less possession and even in games where we've had more possession we didn't look dominant in any way. Fitness levels have to increase massively and creativity and ball retention, or the players simply aren't up to it and we'll have to win games differently this season.

desperado 131 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Just looking across the threads at the vast and varied opinion on IE and how long he should be given; he should have gone, he should go on Wednesday after we lose, give him till Salford, end of November, Christmas, transfer window, end of season, 2 years. Christ, we’re a disparate bunch aren’t we 😂 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Farnywhite 66 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Would of thought there isn’t much scope in the salary cap of 1.25m left for January to change the squad much with them all being on season long deals . so it’s going to boil down to could another manager get any more out of what we have got ? I’m not sure probably different formation might help . I’m beginning to think give him longer and hopefully with 3 or 4 players back from injury see if things change around Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Site Supporter Biggish Dave 504 Posted November 1, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted November 1, 2020 I still think we are a couple of proper football men short on the coaching/scouting set up yet. Won’t happen but I’d get shut of TP and go on bended knee to BSA to replace him. Not to be involved in the coaching side, more getting structures in place to help I.E Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Youri McAnespie 726 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Fuck mop Cassie - you defended deluded Dougie to the hilt until the Fulham dicking then everyone concurred he needed fucking off. Mounts very early called out Crellin as shite and was laughed at by some - wrong. Gonzo pointed out we could be in serious danger of emulating those historyless Wirral tramps and dropping out of the league. Who the fuck is Tobias fucking Phoenix - moneyballs. Did he ever play? As Traf said it's not hard - we don't have to resort to Parky hoofball but a flat back 442 - and Crellin it's not confidence he's shite. It's Evatts' team if he can't get a tune out of them then FV should get rid around Christmas. Two years? New grounds in the tinpot League I suppose. Allianze Arena to being overjoyed with a draw with Cambridge United. As Radcliffe said we cannot be in this divison and getting bummed by the likes of Orient - we'll be fucked and...

Mantra 95 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 (edited) Solace I'm taking with Evatt is that he didn't get immediate results with Barrow, not sure how much of it I can take but it's something to cling onto. Hard to put too much faith in it though as it is his only other job, bar 3 games at Chesterfield. First time this season that promotion is becoming a real doubt in my mind. Thought we'd turned the corner after Barrow and Cambridge, then the Bradford win. Last performance was really poor though and I think we'll have a few more of them with this set of players. Praying that by the new year we've had some sort of click, figured out our best XI and the keeper is sorted. Edited November 1, 2020 by Mantra Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That's tough, these cunts have got it easy. Baptiste wouldn't get in the pub team. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
