The problem with sacking LR before the end of the month is that there will be **** all of the window left and why would we still progress buying his targets.
There's nothing wrong with playing out from the back.
Maybe our Coaching staff are great at talking about it but **** at actually coaching it.
Andy Dawson never played that way when he was a player. Neither did LR to be fair.

but it was better the way they played, so why **** about now just because Pep ****ing does it
 
Cos if you don't you lose the ones you have anyway.

There's always a conveyor belt.

I'm expecting a couple of decent additions.

Can't expect top 10 if he doesn't have a squad that can achieve that.

Gonna be a big 3 weeks of the window and Wednesday on sat is now a big game for us to get a reaction from.
I'd rather play Saturday on Wednesday and get it over with
 
They're literally our best players.

This isn't down to the personnel. Some of the lads tonight looked confused, it was like they were doing something in training and then all of a sudden something changed and they just didn't know what to do? Most of that team looked absolutely fine last season, there's no excuse for a performance like that.

They sat back and didn't press after we went a goal up.

That seemed to defeat our entire game plan.
 
Every time Ingram got the ball I thought I'd lost the connection to the stream as he was motionless for so long - then I realised it was Rosies new tactic - 'don't blink till they do', unfortunately, they didn't blink and Ingram just looked ridiculous stood there - trip advisor rating - 1 star with comment 'avoid at all costs'
It's to up our possession stats
why do you think the centre backs pass to each other? to up our passing stats
improving our goal scoring stats is too difficult

Recruitment in forward areas is far from over, so I'm not panicking yet about the forward issues - I'll wait until 10 games after the window for that, but we aren't doing the tings we did all the last half of last season well at the moment.
Are you expecting the forwards to run back to the halfway line in the hope Ingram finds him, then go on a mazy run and bury one... its not about the ****ing attack per se man!@!!

I don't understand why Ingram just walked slowly forward with the ball and everybody was watching him. He's been told to play out from the back, the rest of the team looked like they were waiting for him to play it long. Even Doncaster didn't even try and take the ball off him and he was 40 yards outside his area.

You know what? Next season, just decline entry. After years of getting Wigan and Millwall in the first round, we actually get lower league teams and then **** out. Fans should be refunded after that.

Problem is if the players we are interested in have a choice of clubs we may not get a look in
 
So i have been asked to read out the following review from LR as at this moment he is not available.

Well what can i say,

I feel for the fans and the players it was a shambles absolutely awful,
how could we be so unlucky to get 2 poor Refs in consecutive games questions have to be asked who is against this club in the PGMOL?.

I feel so upset for the owner i know he probably showed how upset he was during the game that is only natural as he wants the club to succeed
as much as me and the players and the fans that is why i come here to bring that to him.

I will discuss the way forward and any new ideas i have when i next go on free trip to a final somewhere with Acun as we are really close Buds
there is no discussion on my position unlike the players who can play anywhere in all positions even one's they have not played in i only have one position and i'm not leaving as my Gran was born here.

We will move on now to the next game against the wendies but we have a solution which i will expand on after testing it pre-season, we will give the wendies much less possession and chances by letting Ingram have the ball more which is really going to help our possession stats and if that helps Acun feel better then at least it is progression.

By the way Tufan is playing right Back on saturday that will confuse the wendies.

there you go i passed it on for him and said it word for word.
 
I don't usually join in the autopsies, but a big concern for me was the attitude of the players, who seemed very much resigned to losing from quite early on.

I noticed that too and it makes it even worse. Heads dropping and negative body language in the second game of the season. Not good. Traoré and Connolly didn’t look happy when subbed off.

I like Rosenior a lot and I do want him to do well with us and a part of me is hoping he’ll turn it around and get us going but I just don’t see it. He’s too naive and talks too much without delivering. I started to question whether he was the right person for the job at the back end of last season but I still wanted to see what he could do with a full pre-season and summer transfer window. Well, pre-season performances looked like we regressed and tonight and against Norwich were the same. His transfers have been uninspiring and I think quality players at this level don’t want to come here and play under him.

Acun really should’ve pushed the boat and got Pedro Martins.
 
Absolutely shocking tonight. No movement, no urgency, no idea how to play against a team who won’t press if you pause on the ball.

I know it seems rash but I’ve seen managers for u12 teams have more tactical changes up their sleeve in a game than Rosenior.

He’s that guy everyone has at their work who speaks a lot so people think he’s intelligent and has all the ideas. Always get promoted to one job position above their ability.

That was the exact play of Newcastle when Malcolm McDonald was playing for them!!!
