LONDON CALLING,well London Road to be precise and a lads retro day outing,standing on the terraces,low roof for excellent accoustics,jovial Christmas atmosphere and more pisspots present than a Burns night bash. one or two females present but they don't manage to spoil the party

 

Confidence is rising in players and fans alike,peterborough won't fancy this even though they walloped the taffs.

1,500 loyal and totally smashed travelling fans,give superb support to the Whites as they hammer the Posh 3-0,and break into the top 10

The classic chant of ''jingle bells,jingle bells,jingle all the way,,,,oh what fun it is to see the Wanderers win away'' deafens Dids and Big Sharps listening on Tower FM.

The even older and more classic chant of ''the whites are going up'' is heard for the first time in over a decade. Grown men get all nostalgic,cry and hug each other

 

Dougie the little tinkerman surprises us all by fielding an unchanged team,injuries permitting.Butterfield opens his account,Lee and Ngog. I don't give a shit who scores for them as long as we wallop em

8,368 in attendance

The way I see it is Freedman needs at least 2 windows to get a real feel of his management credentials, to bring up a Megsonism, you cant make a silk purse out of a pigs ear, has it not been mentioned on here that he is not afraid to cancel players contracts if he feels they contribute litttle, then I feel a lot of arses will be twitching in January, and quite rightly, the present squad of players lack any type of leadership, fight, and heart, it will get sorted but there is no quick fix, Coyle has left us in deeper shit than any of us ever thought.

Pitch was poor but they looked like scoring every time they attacked.

 

No exaggeration, worse performance I can remember, in context, worse than 5-0 at Sheff Weds.

Hearing reports of argy bargy after game...

 

Heard the same mate.

 

Down here now.

 

Think we went to the wrong spoons

by all accounts we got a result

tis true according to one of their lads

 

pity the fuckin team havent the same spirit

one player who has started all the games under freedman I think is knight and it sounds like he was at fault for first 2 goals,I hope freedman is fuming at going 3-1 down straight after the restart,very serious work needs to be done with the defence

No I dont. I'm saying he hasn't had the impact I hoped for. For instance he hasn't had the impact MM has had at Ipswich so far.

 

FFS, Is it unreasonable to hope that a change of manager will have a positive effect on a struggling club. Change of management style, tactics, training, etc?? He's had 10 games and I hoped he could at least organise the defence so we don't concede like we did under OC.

 

I ain't some delude kid screaming for his head and ill back him as long as hes our manager. I just a new manager coming in would have resulted in a change of fortunes quite quickly (what with this so called premiership quality squad we have).

Just having a mooch around the town centre now, it's fucking dead.

 

Also missed the scrapping, drinking on a barge boat near the ground.

Can they cancel players contracts like that? Without paying off their wages?

 

DF will need money in the transfer window and hopefully the club will back him with the money he needs.

Yes, in the immediate time frame.

As it happens in only a fraction of cases, and if it was so easy, every club would change their manager every 6 weeks.

Bolton, Ipswich, Blackpool, Burnley, Palace, Blackburn all changed gaffers around tye same time. You may have noticed that not all 6 have gone on unbeaten runs.

I'm in agreement there is little sign of improvement and that can be put down to the bounce effect of a new manager, I'm seriously underwhelmed with Freedman in fact I'm 70% sure he's the wrong man for the job.

No, they have to pay the contracts up in full. For some reason there are people who think that paying players to play elsewhere is good management.

I feel sorry for DF, he's got his hands full here

DF has inherited a shit, apathetic team. I think he has done okay - too early to judge him as a manager, its not his team but what Coyle has left him.

 

Today was a disgrace though and players should hang there heads in shame.

As I said earlier, Gartside is our Peter Risdale.

Th'East Midlands Whites are just back and are drinking even more heavily than usual

Before (well before I've read it) I fell over

 

There is more to story but can't bring myself to tell it now.

 

Between durhAm and Newcastle

Except he's not the owner of the club and won't sell us to some wealthy finance group the mans gone past his sell by date, fucking leech now.

JAzza great to meet you

He may have inherited a buch of wankers but Duggies philosophy needs addressing.

Inept totally pissed off only highlight was the meeting few off here and the Kenyans

What were their names again?

Being as it's Christmas, as I pointed out earlier, it strikes me that the players must have decided it's panto time.

 

Can't decide if they're the Ugly Sisters, Wishy Washy, Dorothy's Scarecrow & Tin-Man & Cowardly-Lion, or (given the wages they're on) maybe Captain Hook's pirates or Ali Baba's Forty Thieves.

 

Still, it lightens the mood a bit.

 

What were their names again?

Suzy and Lucy!
