Anyone know what obstreperous means?

 

Steve Guppy

Noisy and difficult to control.

Cocky would have sufficed 

 

The clock is ticking and fast. Feel it’s now only a matter of when rather than if so it’s up to someone to make the call. 
 

can’t think of many occasions where someone has turned a situation around after that type of performance and the crowd actively singing for him to go.
 

He looked lost on the touchline today and the players look like they’ve stopped listening. 
 

the in game management is non existent. After 10 minutes you could see our midfield 2 were outnumbered and that’s where they were controlling the game from. Hardly rocket science to drop Dempsey in there and go to 2 up top. But he persisted with allowing Thomasson and Mateta to get overran and it slowly but surely killed us. Then when he does realise it we’re already 3 down. 
 

the forward lads are being hung out to try by him with what I can only describe as an illness now of stringing balls along the back line when they are nowhere near good enough and yet again crumble when someone sticks it on them. 
 

the 3rd and 4th goals typify everything we’re are about, weak and scared to get hurt then obsessed with a certain approach but neither good or smart enough to deliver it. 
 

we’ve hit a ceiling and so has he. 

Rubbish, no heart, no fight, knocked off the ball so easily, gave the ball away cheaply so many times, strolling about as though they are world beaters and there was nowhere near 22500 on. Thank fuck I go to Zante tomorrow (thinly veiled) for 10 days to get over it.

I didn’t want Evatt to go, but enough is enough. He’s been a massive success for us overall but it’s going to get poisonous if he doesn’t go now.

I was actually pleased to see him change to 4 at the back when we went 3 down. He then decided to put Thomason right midfield and I’ve no idea where Arfield was meant to be playing. You could throw a net around our entire midfield and attack. We have absolutely no width at all which makes us so easy to defend against. Vic, Charles, Mcatee and Collins with absolutely no one to supply them.
 

The less said about Schon and Cogley the better, absolutely diabolical. I don’t like writing signings of this early but I can’t believe we’ve paid money for Schon. It’s a shame Tutu is now cropped as he was looking good. 
 

I’m guessing our funds are limited for a new manager considering we’ve spunked a load of money up the wall.

Just got back read the posts agree with most, last goal conceded says it all, we just need stability now, a few nil Nils would be great, forget promotion it's not happening this season mid table with someone new in charge money for new players or loans in January restart

Charles and Sheehan will start, and Either Firino or Toal will also start......Same system which will make Baxter, Santos and Sheehan make errors between them that will cause us to concede.

More likely get over run in midfield and Thomason getting vilified for not running the game despite being outnumbered

Our wingbacks slaughtered because they play the ball back and dont get down the line and cross it.

Mcatee, Collins, Charles will get little or no service and slaughtered because they miss a sitter in the one chance created in the first half............Rinse repeat

You and your fancy ideas of creating a decent scoring chance.  Some fans just have unrealistic expectations.

The players need fucking though no backbone soft as shit no fight in them 

Schon should be loaned out to picking fruit with his compatriots. Cogley and Forino might as well join him

Can’t believe Jack Iredale has been moved on and we have paid money for the Hungarian 

As if he's blaming the fans 

"The minute we lost that final at Wembley I've just felt in and out of the club a huge negative energy.

Like always, I'll get the blame and I'll take the responsibility."

Be gone by 8pm

I mean... There's no need for that sort of shit is there. Grow up. 

I can count on one hand the number of hands I’ve left before then end since I started watching the whites fucking years ago. 
 

This was the earliest by a mile  

Something needs to change.
 

Quickly  

 

It seems he knows the game's up

 

 

I just don't know what we are any more. We're no longer a footballing side, we're not direct, we've got wing backs but no width and collectively they're a bunch of pussies. We're hopeless at set pieces at both ends of the pitch.

It took today to confirm it for me but I'm 'Evatt out' now.  That 4th goal is his legacy. Capitulation in front of a big crowd and conceding due to needless passing around the back.

So much for pressure being a privilege

Fans are disrespectful too, interesting view point. Arrogant tosser 

Considering how good the bond between the club and the fans was in the playoffs (Baxter at the back songs etc), it's impressive how quickly he's fecked that all up in 4 months.

In actual football terms it's just over a month.

What the fuck did he expect?!

Turning it on the fans now

arsehole 

First chant today from the crowd was Ian Ian Ian, second name is Evatt Evatt Evatt…

Crowd tried to make a good atmosphere first 20 mins but a lull descended and by full time it had turned again completely

Megson levels of disgust for the fella after that interview.

No coming back from comments like that.
