In my opinion there is a chance to get a tune out of this squad, there's enough quality if the worst players are left out. And play 4-4-2, with two wide men that can cross a ball, and never hear the word wingback again. But IE knows best. What quality FFS Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We are showing absolutely no sign of improvement whatsoever and the football we are playing is embarrassing.

We couldn't even get out of our half for last ten minutes, fuckin useless That's the worst bit for me, not the breakaway last minute goal as much as the fact that we were 2nd best by a distance for the last 12 minutes or so, exactly as we were v Grimsby. We have not been on the front foot once for a spell in any game this season towards the end of the game. Very telling. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Are the players technically good enough to play that style of football over 90 minutes? I'd argue on current evidence they're a long way short. He's had his 6 games to get it right. We need to see a massive improvement over the next 6 or the knives really will be out. This experiment is going badly, badly wrong at the moment. And that's coming from a glass half full type.

Take Hunt Off 221 Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Brockbank is no centreback turned inside out numerous times. Everything we do is laboured ,like football by numbers ,no spontaneity at all The lad from Luton was our best player .Speaks volumes. As someone pointed out we take unesessary risks passing the ball deep for no advantage whatsoever. Beginning to think we have been sold a pup. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Feel for santos, him the fans and kios about the only ones who didn't deserve that. Santos and Delaney are great defenders and distributors of the ball at this level. Kioso was OK but nothing special, too many blocked crosses and going down blind alleys, but good attitude and surprised how many headers he won. I just feel Darcy would bring more to the table with the added bonus of being an option from dead balls, also got more of an engine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ianofcleveleys 65 Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Whatever football 'philosophy' you want to put out there on a match day it has to be effective. We are nowhere near being that. Too many risky balls in our own half, too many lapses in concentration, too many in our team who want too long on the ball and are too easily knocked off it. Too many touches, too many ineffective passes, too little penetration from the wing backs, too easily ripped through when we lose it, too many fade out of game in last quarter. The only decent chance we made second half was from the simplest thing we did all afternoon. We are fannying around trying to turn non league standard players into a low level Arsenal. It's not working and I can't see any sign of when it will. Our previous low point in my lifetime was being in this division, this is a whole new depth we are plumbing Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Blondi 116 Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 I'm not telling the other half that we lost yet again, I'm sick of getting ridiculed in my household, any road everything will be just tickety boo once Lloyd Isgrove comes back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mantra 95 Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Everything we do being laboured is a good summing up. @Take Hunt Off Amount of times I'm shouting at the TV "just fucking pass it." So many players hold onto the ball far too long it just kills all the momentum. And if they do pass it quickly they usually don't hit a white shirt. It's fucking infuriating. Still in the camp of being patient and giving the system a chance to develop but fuck it's just not working. Needs a real re-think tactically because if the aim is promotion and we keep pursuing this it's going to be too far gone by Christmas. Try something different against Barrow I beg. I don't care if you drop Doyle and Deflouneso, just try something different, see what else we can offer because it's just head against a brick wall at this stage. Only game we won this season we had less possession than Harrogate. It was actually 61-39 to them. We could be deadly on the counter but instead we're trying to pick the lock through solid banks of 4 when our delivery and passing is just not up to scratch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paulhanley 567 Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Just when you think we've finally hit rock bottom new depths are reached. At the minute there's only one way we are leaving this division. Home record 0-1-3. In Division Four. Hard to know whether to be angry, reflective, crestfallen or fatalistic. Been through them all this past 18 months. Horrible time to be supporting this great football club. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
