I still believe its just a matter of time.

 

But yes, time us ringing out.

 

Plus with mavies, wheater and hopefully a fully recovered Holden, things can only improve.

 

Be interesting to see what players DF brings in and who they replace.

 

Playoffs is still a very reasonable target for me.

 

Which season?

So basically, we've brought a mon in who's recently built a decent team in this league on a shoestring and because he's not performed instant miracle he's not the right man? Fucking plantpot.

 

I'd hazard a guess no fucker could sort this shambles out, the other alternative was a quick fix, long term pain of a Mick McCarthey journey man type who is proven to be a failure. A successful manager wouldn't touch us.

 

I can't understand why people can't offer some support ocassionally instead of always thinking they know better, or how it should be done, when they've probably never even run an under-9's club.

Or contribute anything.

 

He contributed plenty of fouls against as per.

 

The numb fucker climbed all over the top of the defender late on then complained ffs.

 

It was crying out for pace up top today with shittu in central defence he was alwayys gonna be in a battle and he lost

 

Thanks kev but let's move forward, can do a job from the bench last 10/15 mins.

 

Thought freedmans selection of KDavies and then the substation of CYL were wrong today.

 

Anyway roll on next weekend at Palace

anyway, my take on today

 

 

conceded a stupid penalty

could have scored 10 but wouldn't have scored if we'd played all night, bar the penalty

millwall are fitter than us

they have a physical presence we haven't got

they're professional - ie they waste time like experts

they always looked like they had a goal in them

 

the game was quite enjoyable if you want value for money

 

as a bolton fan who just wants to see a win, it was shite

 

 

oh aye, sort the fcuking lights out

I would love it if we could re-post people's thoughts pre season in august.

Then, promotion was a virtual certainty and play offs would be accepted but really a failure.

Now, sitting 8 points above relegation we have to accept it.

We have talented players who are consistently failing to perform and it's not good enough.

Skd very poor today. Eagles did not like the physical stuff , he was terrible.

 

Mom for me was spearing.

 

Their goal was a shambles. Cyl and eagles on wrong wings was baffling.

 

Taking off cyl before eagles strange. Afobe on the pitch annoys me.

 

Finished very strongly was ideas that players lack fitness is wrong.

disagree

 

we just got the ball forward more quickly, cos we had 4 of em up top

 

what highlighted it for me, 15 minutes before the end and a clearance is picked up by ream in our right back position

 

he's immediately closed down by 4 of theirs

 

don't see us doing that

Not sure if Dougie has a real clue about what to do

 

yeah, but you said he was too conservative to play young 'uns

 

his time at palace shows that to be miles off and i'd swear eaves n vela were on the bench, today

 

it gets me that folk think he can make a team out of cockupcoyles awful throw a load of shit at the wall type signings in a few short weeks

I'm just not seeing anything that suggests that we are moving in a good direction

So millwall are fitter than us and more professional than us. Surely that's the managers job? Pretty basic and fundamental to me. Lets say a manager inherits a group of untechnical cloggers, he can still instill a gameplan, play to his players strengths etc. I didn't think it possible but Freedman has actually made Knight a worse player, but it's not his fault that the current squad is useless?? I have mentioned many a time that this squad is capable of ripping the arse out of this league, it is a managers job to Instill it .And for those idiots out there say 'well performances suggest otherwise' you are proving my point. This guy has even turned off the tap with Eagles.

 

We have a few players to return, including Holden. It makes no difference who you are if your manager is such a demotivating force. Watch this space.

 

Someone said that Freedman was brought in to bring through the youth, that he'd built a squad on buttons. Er, no. The youth bit might have been a side issue on a long wish list from Eddie, but the overarching top priority was to take the team up first time of asking, so to avoid financial Armageddon meltdown and to give Eddie a scenario where the bottom doesnt fall out on his investment. I dare say the people saying this season is write off and we'll regroup in the summer are probably the ones who said last season that a season in the championship would be good and we'd smash it. In other words you don't have a clue.

 

Lets stop this blind nonsense, Freedman is an awful manager, badly out of his depth. It was an appalling appointment by Gartside. Cut our losses now because we all know how the next 18 months pans out before he finally gets the bullet. Oh yes, and if this was Megson, the bazooka's would be out, let alone knives

No, it will be incompetent management, both previous and current, which 'are simply not good enough'.

 

 

 

 

I really did think that by now it would have dawned everyone that we are simply not good enough to be amongst the contenders. Where we are is just about right.

Dougie Freedman is totally out of his depth in this division. That Crystal Palarse lot who he re-shaped in the summer are 4th and 2 full points off automatic promotion. Gartslime should have got a bigger name manager in who knows what he's doing and doesn't 'de-motivate' players. Sack him now and follow the Venky way.

Enjoyed the game it was an old fashioned end to end game they were very profesional in terms of conning the ref, playing for time and wasting time etc were still in between the old guard and a brave new world, its time DF took the plunge for the brave new world, as every team we have played has more hunger and desire than we have and given our wage bill thats a damning indicment of the players we have, king of the wasters is Zat Knight he makes me physically sick and if DF does not despatch of him when he gets some centre halfs fit he should be sacked with the utmost of speed, there are probably 6 or 7 more I would show the door and as a start I would immiediately send Afobe back with indecent haste, and probably 5-6 more and I include some quality players who we could get money for that would enable us to rebuild, I dont like Andrews,Sordell and for different reasons Ngog, were really in the middle of a massive transition and we need to stabilise in this division for 2-3 years before we move forward again.
