I just don't have the same admiration for him as a manager that some others have. People should be allowed to have differing opinions should they not ? we all want the club / team to succeed. I have no issue with the many fans who think that he's a good manager, he's not a bad manager its simply that I don't think that he's as good as some others think. Nobody is saying he's the next Pep Guardiola. He admits himself he's still learning. As Mounts just said, he gets a lot more right than he does wrong. We don't have a divine right to romp the League, especially after the events of the last few years, and in a way Evatt is a victim of his own success. Expectation has rocketted.

Dapo's going, Charles is useless, Evatt is a plantpot and the owners have already got someone lined up to replace him, we don't deserve to be 6th in the League, MJ is past it, we didn't deserve to win our last 2 games, Santos is just a big bully. Mind boggling. 56 minutes ago, Black Sheep said: I haven't seen anything in his signings, tactics, or ideology It’s a very good point @Cheese And before I go any further, my previous post match comments have been critical of yesterday, the last month and like others, questioning some of our tactical play. But one thing I said a week or two ago has certainly been proven - after a defeat, there are so many “experts” out there who seem to think their knowledge of personnel and formation changes would make all the difference. This goes beyond the “expressing an opinion as a fan on a forum” to saving your posts to when there’s a defeat, in unleashing your expert knowledge. It’s nothing personal @Black Sheep but your a one of a few who come across this way. In the past I’ve had these forum disagreements with @radcliffe white @Johnnyrotten @woolli and it may well be that like those you are critical, passionate and a good bloke to sit down with and have a pint. Who knows you might actually be someone with top end management and coaching experience like @Rudy 😊. I’m unsure as to what makes you so sure Evatt is wrong with everything he does and you are right?

It’s just opinions mate I’m not saying I’m right for one minute it’s just how I see it it can be a very closed shop at times regarding IE it’s like nobody can say anything negative, but I must also add that it works both ways I have also praised when I felt it was needed yes i’m very passionate otherwise I wouldn’t spend thousands every year watching us and it’s gets me going when folk come out with sarcastic comments as they comment watching ifollow but certainly no coaching experience like Rudy😀 Edited October 30, 2022 by radcliffe white Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Sheep Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 1 minute ago, Mounts Kipper said: Of course you can have your opinion.. My opinion is he gets much more right than wrong.. I’ll also say he’s a young manager and so will make mistakes… he has the makings of a very decent manager and therefore I’d like fans to cut him some slack. He is a young manager, and I do agree that he may well become a decent / top manager. However for me it's about getting out of League 1 asap (I'm also sure that you said 'we don’t want to be in this division though, let’s hope it’s good enough to take us up'). I understand that others are more patient (to be honest I wish that I was). I appreciate that we are 6th which is great and there is some progress I admit, but for me this last 6 games against teams that are mostly near the bottom has highlighted that he still has a lot to learn & to me has highlighted his naivety - in regards to team selection, tactics, nous etc. It's probably just me being impatient & it is just my personal opinion and I may well be wrong.

marple whites Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Why do we not shot out more - typified by the run into the box right on half time and instead of having a crack turned away from goal. So frustrating. got what we deserved yesterday - hats off to them and without there main striker. an overall poor month when you consider the respective positions of the opposition.
