Beggars can't be choosers with our injuries and suspensions though - with Chair, Field, Frey, Kolli, Cook, JCS all out its slim pickings.
1 point out of our last 18. Bottom of the form table. These players ought to be ashamed of themselves. Not one of them can hold their head high tonight.
3-1 really doesn’t show the full horror of that performance - injuries or not that performance was unacceptable. We really need to somehow offload Madsen before next season.
Wish I'd known our line up before I did the prediction league ffs, absolute shambles. Some disgraceful performances today, totally unfit to pull on the hooped Jersey. Could say alot more, but like the team, I can't be arsed !
Couldn't be arsed to watch the game because I knew exactly how it would go. I see a lot of criticism of the players on here - particularly Madsen, who came on when we were already two down - but nothing about the manager. Strange.
After the update on injuries we got on Friday, and with the exception of Freys late injury, the team was as expected, by that I mean the best we could put out, We are down to bare bones, The midfield that was so good of Field (injured), Morgan (form faded) Varane (coming back from a bad injury), Chair (injured) It is unlikely to get much better We should get Frey back Saito back after another 2 matches Varane may show some form and fitness improvement Cannot see we will get anything more this season from Cook, Celar, Chair, Field, JCS or Kolli. We need at least 2 more wins...it maybe difficult
There's been a lot of chat on here about how few options Marty had going into this game but i still think Marty got it completely wrong. I think this was one of his darkest days tbh. He selected a front line with no strikers and a midfield with no backbone. What was he thinking? I'm also unsure if he gets under the skin of the players enough as they just didn't look like they cared. He doesn't seem to be the best motivator - his gentle gentle approach might work when we're winning but it's rubbish when the players don't care for the shirt. I think he needs to take a good look at himself and ask himself why the team can draw with Leeds one week and then lose to Stoke the next. Our consistency stinks and this has to be down to him. Nothing he can't sort but perhaps he needs help in this department?
2 wins??? If we can get 4 points from the next 2, i think we'll be safe. If we really need 2 wins, i'm not so sure where they will come from at this rate.
And it's also up to Cifuentes to stop his team playing this tippy-tappy out from the back sh1t at all times, even when the opposition outnumber us in our own box. Also he needs to stress to his team that they can/should look to move into space when we have the fecking ball. And train them to cross, take corners and generally get stuck in. What do they all do every week? ( sorry, i'm sure i've already asked that question at least 8 times this year. Can anyone provide an answer yet?)
Really glad I spent the entire afternoon in an excellent pub called The Bull in Stratford upon Avon ignoring the inevitable. All teams have loads of injured players at this time of the season. We are just a nothing team with a nothing coach. We’ll scrape staying up again and more of the same total crap next season. Jesus ****.
