We may not lose many but we are so fecking dull its unreal, as i said before MM may have kept us uplast season but thats about it, he is sooooooo limited as a manager its unreal!!! Oh and its not all down to ME Warky!!
Sorry guys but 2 points against Barnsley and Blackpoo is just not good enough, top 6??? Your having a laugh!!
Can you give us your ratings for players and review please Spanish as I couldn't make the game so I can't really make an educated assessment as to how we really performed.
You definitely have some valid points and you know what I think about Micks limitations, well not so much limitations but he holds himself back and sometimes lacks intent but lets not throw the baby out with the bath water, we're only 2 points off the playoffs still. This is a bit of a problem with how we play if we don't pick up as many points as we think we should, it seems 10 times worse because of how we play but ultimitely we've played poorly and picked up a point. I read something that Barry Ferguson said that he will go into every match trying to win the game and have a go at the opposition, this is what I want to see unfortunately I think Micks mantra of 'don't get beat' is a bit of a self fulfilling prophecy sometimes. All teams have bad games where you have to see a game out and dig deep sometimes but I don't want to see that as a style of play as it were. We've got some decent players in CM for this division, none of them are bad players the problem is they're all of a similar ilk, we need some diversity in the team. Our most creative player is our LB who is currently abit out of form, and really our LB should not be the most creative player in our team.
TBF to MM he is managing ITFC with one arm tied behind his back, zero budget for transfers, and not much more for player wages. This is the way MM knows how to play & get the best from his squad. It was painful to watch today, Spanish, count yourself lucky you did not have to watch it.!
Even Mick Mills has started to criticise MM and his team selection/tactics!! As dis Alex Mathie last week!!
I can't say I was impressed by MM's choice of starting midfielders today, I'm not sure what he thought he would gain from naming three central players in a 4-4-2. Having said that though we are still in the top ten and I am happy with that.
Valid posts all. It's great being hard to beat. It's half way to being genuine contenders. But lets forget micks money limitations and concentrate on why we aren't finishing teams off. Spanish we do lack creativity, and that's been said on here for months and it frustrates us all. We've got a player in dids who can score at this level but who else. SEB when he's fully fit hopefully. Murphy chips in occasionally but we definately need the scoring creating midfielder to compliment dids. I like most of us would like to see mick just go balls out more often and go for 3 points and not settle for one.
Maybe once we are mathematically safe from the drop Mick might go all guns blazing or maybe he wants us to get a reputation as a solid team ready for next season.
Going on the post match interview it seems playing that midfield was to combat the diamond that Blackpool played, which I'm not going to lie infuriates me, we're at home just outside the playoffs and we're playing a team who haven't won a game since November yet we set out midfield out to combat theirs to stop playing first and foremost. That's not how I want my manager to go about things, I loved it in the days gone past where we just selected our best 11 and went for games, trying to impose our game on the opposition. For me that's where Jim went wrong when ME came in, he used to just put out his best 11 and try to win the game, then once ME came in he worried more about the opposition than playing to our strengths. I just think that sums Mick up though, first and foremost set the team up to stop the opposition playing and make sure our off the ball play is sound and then anything else on top of that is a bonus. Listen Mick has done a great job here but he doesn't half frustrate me sometimes
I think that's extremely unlikely, Mick is Mick it's his style, I can't see him changing it really no matter what the situation. Perhaps once we get better players we might get a bit more attacking creative but under Mick we'll never be known as a good footballing attacking side. We said this last season maybe once we're safe he'll start playing the youngsters and play more expansive football, has it happened ...?

" Of course not Weighty, lets not be ridiculous shall we. LIke getting a blood out of a stone Spanish being in any form constructive. I actually do agree with you in that our creativity is not up to it Spanish. HOWEVER, and there is always a lovely however with you. Where have you been the entire time of the 7/9 points before today's game? Oh that's right, the teams doing well so no point writing. Draw at home to struggling Blackpool, time to write. I LOVE your viewpoint on life Spanish. Glass half empty. Woe is me. It's absolutely pathetic the amount of sheer **** that comes out of your mouth. Never anything constructive. What are you like as a worker Spanish? As after all, football is a job to these players, who pick up the same amount give or take a bonus every week? Are you ALWAYS so DAMN GOOD your manager loves you? Or, are you like the rest of us, good some weeks, other weeks, not so good? What do you do for a job Spanish? How's your life going? Are you happy with it, or not? As it does my absolute head in, to know without fail that a poor result will be greeted by the sheer **** that comes out of your mouth. How I have enjoyed the 7 points from 9 before today's game, with you not posting anything on here. Much better times.
The only good thing to come from the sheer **** you write on here, and lets be perfectly clear, it is absolute **** that gets most peoples backs up more often than not, is that myself and Warky actually AGREE on something and that happens once in a bluemoon.# Just support Barcelona/ Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. Life will be a lot easier, wear a different shirt each week and every weekend you will get a winning result. YAY.
" Even Mick Mills has started to criticise MM and his team selection/tactics!! As dis Alex Mathie last week!! " That's a fair point, but they are hardly like a 1 year old who isn't getting their food for a split second about it. Other people are capable of being subjective. Something you have zero idea how to do. Yes, if you haven't guessed I have absolutely had quite enough of you appearing on this board. It's generally quite a happy place, with us trying to offer an insight into the team and get behind the boys. Not in your case, oh no. The hilarious thing, is if ( and this won't happen ) we went unbeaten from now, won the play offs, and lost the 11th game in the Premiership say 2-0 to Man Utd, that would be the first time Spanish would bother to post. There would be no well done, no I was wrong, none of that. Then it would be Mick's limitations, or something else. I'm off to bed............. ciao.............
It was 90 minutes of my life that I shall never get back but hey Sh1te happens and we move on! I have nothing much else to say but you know it must have been bad cos TWTD is lit up like a fecking Christmas Tree!
Hard to beat is great. Best form of attack is defence and all that,just seems mick isn't getting the best out of our midfield and attack and we are dropping points where we shouldn't be. Very frustrating. Mick is more than capable of getting us up,from there I don't know but he's still the right man. Thank god those who called for holloway on here didn't have their way.
it was a **** game with no real redeeming feature BUT to be honest Spanish your posts are totally pointless to me as you only come on, act like a spoilt child (nah nah Im right lets gloat) and only post after games which only coincide with your viewpoint. I think 5 year olds could post better balanced posts than you under the MM regime. You can come back with your normal 'faceless internet hardman abuse' like normal but I honestly wont be responding to this or future posts until you can be bothered to take notice of the whole picture rather than let your stupid prejudiced views determine when we see you.
