If the manager hasn’t started to “lose” elements of the dressing room already with his statements why aren’t they playing for him ? But hasn’t your opinion been negative right from the outset? Have you offered anything other than IE isn’t up to it, he’s out of his depth? If this is your starting position, you’re just out there to prove your opinion is right. Rather than wildly suggesting the players aren’t playing for him and he has lost the dressing room, why not be more patient and constructive in your criticism? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The middle 5 including the WBs were just not good enough. That sums it up. For "were" replace "are". With the exception of Crawford, they arent good enough. And they shouldnt be wingbacks, they are full backs. IE to blame for that, as he was after 1 game, he's not learning very quickly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
desperado 131 Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 It’s a debatable point, but it’s where we disagree. Today they weren’t good enough. But I’m not writing them off completely ...yet....by saying they are not good enough. Both IE and us don’t know whether Mascoll or Gordon is better or equipped to deliver at this level consistently. Kioso looked good today, as has Hickman previously, as did Jones... occasionally. We’ve all seen Crawford do better. Surely there’s more to come from Sarcevic. Is Tutte fit enough yet? He looks better than Comely. And can you really summise for definite that Hickman, Jones, Gordon, Mascoll and Kioso (who actually looked perfect for this role) shouldn’t be wingbacks? If we are thinking this, then I’m sure it’s puzzling IE more. As frustrated as we are and as much as we know it’s not working yet, surely you’re not suggesting that IE was the wrong appointment and all these signings can now be written off?

No amount of coaching will change that essential truth. I cant agree Doyle, Fonz, Sarcevic, Santos, Kioso, Tutte and 1 or 2 others dont have the ability and/or pedigree to play 4th tier football. Its a bit of a generalisation. Its upto the manager to get them playing to their maximum. He's falling short in his formation and selections, coaching isnt the obvious issue.

Unfortunately the experienced players we expected big things from are all off colour. Gnuhua looked to have something about him so I’d stick him in next time. Darcy deserves a go as well. He does have something about him. When we needed some attacking impetus against Grimsby, IE took off Tutte and put on Comley. He took off Hickman and Brockbank was effectively put on the right wing. Its not like the poor selections and formations are a new thing. Its baffling. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I already tried to tell you last week, he took off Tutte last week because he’s not ready for 90 mins, same reason as he didn’t start him today. We had about 10 pages talking about Hickman last week, he played Kioso there today - he played well. Im not happy about the result today, I’m not happy about the position I find ourselves in. It’s not good enough, there’s more negatives than positives, but IE has admitted all of this. When you are still bedding in signings you made yesterday and adding them to a team/squad that’s been together for weeks, maybe everybody’s expectations have been risen beyond what is realistically possible at the moment Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He’s chucked a shed load of players together who he’s only seen in passing rather than managed before. He seems to have sussed Comley & Hickman are not fitting his style early so looked to sign replacements. He’ll suss that out all over the pitch as the season goes on. No knee jerk reaction. We aren’t going up this season. Give Evatt the time to sort out them he’s not keen on after all, get it right in summer then go up next seaso n That's a very kind way to look at it. We could all see Comley wasnt upto it after 1 game, but he continues to be picked, doesnt look like he's been sussed from where I'm looking. I'd be more than happy to go up next season I'm struggling to see how Hill wasnt given the same luxury of time, given his record of promotions at Rochdale. At the moment we're kidding ourselves if we think this manager is a step up, and yes I was as enthusiastic as anyone about his appointment, but he's doing his best to prove I dont have a clue.

I'm not saying you're wrong but I couldn't tell you the first thing about anyone in our league other than we are all shit, we all miss shed loads of chances if we get them and can't defend for toffee.

He was marginally better than he was first half which was almost pub football level Agree with that. He did improve in the 2nd half, in that he got involved, but he just looks like Madine looked against Championship players, always off the pace and having to over stretch to compete with better, more athletic players. He looks like a conference player that in a good team would probably score a few, but in a poor team is just off the pace and doesnt impact the game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Before my time i think. First time I remember going there was earlyv80's. Freezing, 1-1 draw i think, Doyle scored both ends? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
