Or, incompetent, out of her depth, caught in the headlights!? Now I don't think those things and believe the truth is closer to your adjectives, however she will come under scrutiny at some point. Fair or otherwise. Both SS and SB must be feeling extra pressure with the money being put in. And Fergal come to that! Signing his mates lad has worked a treat!

I hope the press Muppets actually ask him some challenging questions rather than the anodyne shite you usually get. I wanna see how reacts under a bit of pressure, this season is starting to slide.

I moved to Stourbridge a few years ago, and until then had no idea Staffordshire went so far south to border Worcestershire!! I always assumed it was the bit you see from the M6. For the pedants Stourbridge is actually West Midlands now, but you get the point. Staffs goes from almost Buxton in the North down to just outside Kidderminster in the South. Not sure you get many PV here! Wolves, WBA, Villa, in that order is my experience. Never seen a blue.

It can't have just been me that winced when they saw the team sheet, you just knew how it would pan out. So then I convinced myself JK was gonna get a hat-trick and all would be good. But it wasn't! 😂

He is usually on the money for me, but once or twice he has come out with these that are just contrary to what we all just watched.

Without Cozier Duberry and Blackett-Taylor, we need to go 3-5-2. Apter/Gale)Cissoko arent good enough, just use them as subs. Get Conway and OT as wing backs with 3 central midfielders and 2 up top.

The selection was awful, trying to shoe horn players into positions. Sheehan and Dempsey in midfield, b'jesus. At times we were 4-1-1-4, and 5-5, fucking mental. No wonder we had no cohesion. Hardie got another I see too Dempsey isnt good enough as a conventional midfielder, super sub at most. Then we have Simon's Erahon and Fernandez sat on the bench. What's Simon's done wrong?? I know his form went off a bit, but he not had a sniff since.

I was thinking very similar, not about Sarce in particular, but how well Bradford, Stockport and others have done coming out of the 4th Div. (Not including Wrexham for obvious reasons). Coupled with bang average teams getting promoted around us, Pompey, Derby, Oxford, Charlton, Rotherham. Then we have Sunderland and Ipswich in the Prem in all the time we have been floundering in this division. Evatt nearly fucked up getting out of the 4th division, and coupled with his stellar performances currently at Blackpool, I think his time with us needs to be reassessed. I make no bones I never liked the bloke, but it was like a cult on here at times that we were progressing year on year!! But were we?, did we ever actually achieve what our squads were capable of? I don't think so, and other than Plymouth at Wembley won't look back with any affection to Evatt's time like I do to Rioch, Todd or BSA. He is this generations Phil Neal, yet Neal got no end of shit, Evatt seemed immune from most until the end.

Anyone else think it odd it takes a global news item on the scale of Epstein for this shit to come to light. Clearly our own security services do not check on the activities of senior officials or this and many other dodgy activities would have been uncovered already. I'd feel much more comfortable as a citizen if proactive prosecutions were the norm rather than reactive ones. As someone who has had the pleasure of several intrusive security vetting interviews, I always wondered if it was a bag of bollocks unless you self-disclosed? clearly it is.

Will be a task winning the play offs, and not one anyone of us really trust them to do.

Another season of flattering to deceive in this division, it's just more of the same Evatt bollocks, just done in a different way.

Run-in
So being very optimistic and 6 wins 2 draws 20pts, only gets us to 77 from the next 8, so we'd need a min of 13 PTS from the last 5, to get to 90 points. 10 wins and 3 draws from 13. Pretty unlikely I would suggest. Since we went up with Parky, only 2 teams have gone up with 90 or less points automatically, the lowest Peterborough in 2021 with 87. So statistically we are fucked, glad I worked that out!! as pissed myself off even more about the stagnation under FV. Play offs it is. 😬

For any ex-military types, pretty sure the starting dose of Brufen was 1200mg, two 600mg horse tablets, 3 times a day. Knees, hips, back, shoulders, all sorted. Till you hit 40!!!

A big pitch, they gave us loads of space for first half an hour, should have been everything in our favour that Saturday was not, and yet we still go behind. Same as same as for me, do we really trust them in the play-offs, moreso than under Evatt maybe, but not convincing at all.

Concede first too many times, the then turn into Evatt style, recipe for disaster

Just checked and from the 18 in the squad when we lost at Lincoln in April last year, only 4 remain at the club or in 1st team squad, Forino and GJ started and McAtee & Dempsey on bench. That is some turnaround in only 2 windows. Let's just hope we have a better performance than that one!
