Wanderers V Bristol City

2 taxis, 2 trams, 2 trains, match ticket, ale and food. £75.

 

Getting to the point where I'm wishing there was something that I needed to do on a saturday that excused me from a trip over to The Macron.

 

Davies/Gartside - no point in moaning - fuck all we can do about them

 

Lennon - again, no point - we can't afford to pay him off and who could we replace him with?

 

The players? Fuck me!!! We have a throw in - stood like statues. Corners - no movement. Player has the ball - seems it's wrong to pass to a white shirt. Player doesn't have the ball - sees no reason to move to make space for a pass. It's them fuckers that really grind me at the moment. Yeah we pressed more than normal today but the complete inability to do the basics right really, really pisses me off and makes me wonder how long I can keep going spending the money to come over

 

B&Q?

ikea?

Sky box set?

Watching Jeff Stelling and the boys and wishing you were there?

I would encourage anyone to listen to NL interview.

 

When told JS had a a great game, he went on a ramble about another 4 or 5 who played just as well.

 

Obvious problems between those two.

 

I would think that transmits to the other players as well.

 

IMO when NL goes then a lot will come out.

 

I'm not suggesting he should go but this simply cannot carry on.

 

Our next 2 aways are hard as is our next home.

 

Yes we need a break, but you can't blame everybody or everything else for our predicament.

 

There comes a point where you've got to make it happen yourself and that means having the ability to motivate and not criticise when things go wrong.

Quite obvious lennon doesn't like spearing, subbed at half time against Norwich last season after a woeful team display then dropped n loaned out. Same again this season against boro away (except loaned out) after m.o.m. Against Derby preciously.

strange selection once again but we should've won

 

yes, we could've lost but we were the team that created the better chances

 

im taking it as a positive that we lost no ground to bristol

 

we need to keep picking up points and hopefully get some confidence

 

i still want it to work with lennon but each passing week makes me think its less likely

 

how he thinks we can win midfield with that sort of set up is beyond me

 

and the feeney boo ers, fcuk off, just fcuk off

 

 

ps casado was dreadful, we're on our fifth right back of the season and twardzik did some good things

Found something else today, and at Birmingham game. Coaching a group of young athletes who are more than worth the sacrifice, such as it is. They've had my money and they'll still get my support but not over other deserving causes.

 

Won't dive in about today, that's the preserve of those who did go, fair play to you all. Think it's time for NL to bail out though, whatever the restrictions he's had to work within, he should have been capable of assembling and putting out a team capable of winning more than once this season. No sign it'll get any better, unless Iles rumours about a new player in turn out to be a finisher.

 

Concern for me is the number of his own players NL has any belief in is dwindling, and the number of them who believe in him is doing the same

 Thing is, on a lot of occasions Bristol crafted a good break based on the fact that they clearly knew where each other would be and thus could build summat from nowt. Apart from one or two times - that cracking break in the 2nd half for example - we really didn't look like we had an ounce of the kind of invention that comes from knowing the rest of your team and how they will respond in various circumstances. All too often we looked like a team of strangers.

There were definite positives in the 2nd half. But probably some equal negatives.

That tackle by Prince. Wow. Then he passes the ball straight to their player. Not good.

We created chances to win - Madine missed the best two - had a goal disallowed - missed a penalty (should Mavies have taken this?). Thought Vela looked solid, as did Wheater. Feeney had a good 2nd half. Spearing was solid. Pratley was awful.

I think we did enough to win today.

is it because you had a fall out at the leeds game?

don't give up because of that

 

people have a passion , different views, as you know,

 

bwfc needs the fans to stay on board, now more than ever.

I'm not reading 9 pages, but . . .

The first half was as bad as anything I have seen in years. Second half was a bit better and we were on top for at least 20 minutes but couldn't capitalise on it. Penalties at the moment are no advantage for us, because whoever takes them does not even look like scoring and it just heaps more misery on the team.

No, not at all, not the falling out and sacking it type, loads of times over last few seasons I've put my group second and messed them about to make sure I didn't miss a match, just a bit less inclined while things are as grim as they are.

 

We all deserve better than we're getting, on the pitch and off, especially in terms of communication from the boardroom. At the moment all we're doing if nothing changes quick is slinking down into League 1 in as sad and embarrassing a fashion as Sunderland fell out of the Prem a year or two back under McCarthy.

 

I'll still be there as often as I can, will still encourage, won't get on players backs (there's no point, it serves no useful purpose)and give it loads if and when we actually score a goal and, god forbid, win a game
