Sunday 12.30 KO

could they do the Double over us 

 

Blunt. No threat whatsoever. There is nothing down the middle at 10 or 9 , nothing. So easy to defend. All we can do is pass it wide where both wingers have two guys on them. We need a proper 10 badly. 

that was fucking disgracful

Why the fuck did Johnston have to go off that’s not in the rules ? 

Dire. Wheels are falling off in terms of performances and results 

A corner for us is just a way of restarting the game with the opposition in possession. 

Treacle ball shite

Absolute dross that, we’re getting worse every game, not one shot on target yet again and I don’t think `Schumacher has a clue how to change things so much wrong with the system and bingo machine changes.

Not shocked in the slightest. 

A team in reverse 

A deeply concerning slump

This isn’t just a team low on confidence. There just isn’t the quality or experience to get us out this league. Combine that with a manager who appears to have no idea who his best team is or how to play to their strengths. 
 

Happy clappers will be back telling folk to calm down, but it won’t long before we’re drifting from the playoffs again. 
 

Can only hope there’s a plan to get some quality in over January.

Head injury. 

Seventeen shots and can’t get one on target and it’s been the same every game for weeks yet Schu hasn’t changed anything other than the players.

It’s going to be a dear do replacing all these STs.

Apart from new signings, no idea how we turn this round. All confidence gone.

Not a single shot on target 

4231 is the way to go we've just go another manager who like Evatt thinks theyve discovered the cheat codes to football. 

Just play normal tactics he didnt do this shit at Plymouth or Stoke, he comes here and its experiment time. 

Awful performance.

Not as expensive as repaying £4m of bond holders’ money if we’re still in league 1 in a couple of years.

Fucking top 2 be lucky to get in the top 10 way this is shaping up 

We have 2 points more than this stage last season. And the league is a lot tighter (even if the top 2 is now starting to look out of sight). About the only positives 

We will end up in a relegation battle after the next three games - all away and heavy defeats 

This is beyond dross, 1 scruffy goal vs them 3 teams and 0 goals in 2 games at home, 0 shots on target today, what are they doing??

Ruining the season, and now 3 away games so no chance of 9 points, which we need just to make up for what they've done these last 3 games, regardless of how unrealistic that seems given we are shit away from home and now have turned shit altogether.

new signings to improve us drastically or get rid of the manager.

The latter is our only option; our recruitment is shocking 

I'm not even sure I can overly blame a system on just how bad some of those individual performances were, I will concede that the chopping and changing isn't helping anyone. I'm sure he doesn't rate or want any of the #10s he has at his disposal, but you've got to just let at least one of them find a rhythm and a understanding with players around him.

But my issue is just the sheer lack of ability to hit the target from these attacking players, ACD has fallen off a cliff, Dempsey is industrious and I like him but is limited, Burstow not getting service in good areas and lacking confidence.

Change the inverted wingers when it’s not working, hit the byline and get ball into the box, get 2 fullbacks who have legs to overlap the wingers. Get rid of Randall & Cissoko put 2 up top when teams park the bus. The template to nullify us is widely known we have to change formation to find a way to win.  Drastic measures needed and I’d be putting out feelers for skubala.
