Apparently there's a young lad called Morley at Wycombe who is a very useful midfielder and had a storming game yesterday for the team that is 5 points clear at the top of the league.

He still wouldn't have started yesterday.

Who was moved on specifically because we were wanting to go with a midfield 2. Madness

Can you point me to the outrage when he was loaned out ? I was a big Morley fan, thought him and Dempsey would be a great partnership, but his form last 18 months was awful.

Fuck all has changed. We barely scraped over the line against a relegation candidate in appalling form and but for wasteful finishing from them would've lost.

He should be sacked immediately and nobody with half a brain would lose a moment of sleep about it. 

How did you react when we scored ? 

[deeane Koontz]

Morley was fooking shocking when he had a chance last season. Completely invisible.

Fair play to him for playing like a footballer again.

Get him back in Jan to weaken Wycombe

That's a fair point however, since Jan this year we have played 25 league matches (including the two this season before he was loaned), he started 2 of those and was sub 13 times. He goes to Wycombe, plays every match, Wycombe fans love him and they are top. 

 

Amazing what the trust of a manager and a run in the team can do for a player. And no, I didn't see this coming, I don't think anyone thought that about him, and yet plays every match for them and look at his form...his fault or Evatts?

[desperado]

Love Evatt’s response to the goal.

While I’ve acknowledged and can see where Evatt’s weaknesses are, I can’t help but still want this to work for him.

I don’t think you can (and I’m not suggesting anyone has) question his passion and desire.

I would love for him to get it right, get some more big results, beat Wigan and get us into promotion contention before Christmas.

Unlikely? I’d still say yes

Possible? Yes and that result and 2nd half performance are a good sign.

While that’s possible we should enjoy and embrace the ride. Some really big games ahead. Bring it on.

One other thing yesterday was how Blackpool tried to start at 100mph and once we matched that we dominated the game. Instead of messing about the back wish we could play wit pace more often . 

All part of Evatt's game plan keeping the ball and making the opposition chase it. Problem is we're often not quick enough with the passes for it to work and our movement at times is severely lacking. A few times yesterday Rico had the ball and the 9 other outfield players were all stood still looking at him. I understand what IE wants to do but if the players won't/can't carry his plans out that's on him to do something about it.

Have a day off. They had their goal and one smart save from Baxter first half. Fuck all second half. Whereas we had one disallowed for fuck all, one sitter that hit the bar and a good two or three other good chances.

It might not have been at the time he went, if the idea of the move was to play himself back into contention it's reasonable to assume that he's done that

Maybe so

They did have two or three threatening situations late on (mostly of our making) but their lack of quality/poor decisions didn't turn them into clear, nailed on chances. Eventually, our better quality, of delivery and finishing, deservedly won the day

Players have bad runs he was given chances, as I say I was a big fan. Not anyone's fault as such.

Hi Ani, I'm not sure he has been given a chance, if you compare him with Vic, I would argue Vic is a very lucky player to have the faith of the manager

[Wanderlust]

I think the chalk and cheese performances in each half of yesterday’s game aptly demonstrates the issue. 

We are only out of the playoffs on GD so our league position is OK at this point of the season.

But why can’t we just start games like we started the second half and play like that all the time?

Is that down to Evatt or the players?

I don’t know, but there’s plenty to suggest that the players need to toughen up mentally, work harder and  generally be more professional.

It’s easier to replace the manager than the squad but that isn’t any sort of quick fix and it might not fix anything.

Morley played 99 times for us so he had his chances, first 18 months he was brilliant last 18 not good at all. Posted previously his lack of form was one of the big mysteries of last season.

Remember we gave him a new contract and people were surprised. I hope he can come back the same player he was when he arrived. 
 

I looked his appearances up on wiki and did nt know he was here as a kid as well. 
 

Big Vic is a mystery, despite all the physical attributes he does very little.

Fair point but I still think we'd have kept him if we'd have been planning on a midfield 3 this season.

All eggs were thrown into this 523 basket when you look at the squad we have.

If a neutral was watching then I don’t think they’d have necessarily found them to be threatening situations, it’s just we’re all naturally of a nervous disposition 🤣

We don't lose when Vic plays.

I know youre exaggerating to make a point but its not far off

Vic haters seem to be evatt outers

Odd one, that

The one when Collins stumbled and lost the ball on the edge of our area was the main one that came to mind. They should have walked that in but made a complete mess of it.

Are you now saying that people who have no confidence in the manager are the same that are questioning his signings, especially forwards. Or are you back in the Evatt is the best manager in league one camp, after saying his time is up.

[Rizlar]

My major gripe is the fact these players struggle to put in a performance over 90 minutes it’s baffling?

Ive never said his time was up, not like some morons cos they dont like tippy tappy

i have said that id have no issue him being sacked - be a bit shit for a team 5th in the league but it is what it is - but thats not the point being made

evatt outers are generally victors loudest critics ignoring the fact that victor played the majority of the first half of last season and we were very consistent

That was Evatt's comment afterwards wasn't it?
