Hi guys I know it's very early days following the change of manager and I am not trying to be unfair on Ainsworth but must express my disappointment at your result on Saturday and the fact that you are beginning to look like you could be stranded in the bottom 2 if results do not come quickly. Obviously I have seen very little of your game other than the goals, so from the fans perspective (those that went) does anything look to have changed? I am guessing not much as it's the same group of players but were there signs of greater commitment to the cause, more passion, better tackling, better passing etc?
To be fair there was a bit more effort, but they still looked like eleven strangers playing together for the first time. Passion is great, but we need someone to organise the team effectively and implement some kind of coherent game plan. Needless to say, their confidence is shot too, and only a couple of decent results will fix that.
To me that seems a really odd comment. The normal when a failing manager departs is for the players to galvanize to a degree and get a lift from having a new gaffer. I am really taken aback when reading that! I believe GA has decided not play, or did on Saturday. I hope that was a one off as I think he is the best player on the pitch to organize although I appreciate you fans may think differently as you watch them and I don't.
The problem has been for two years. Waddock brought in ****e players. In league 1 he brought in league 2 players, and in league 2 he brought conference level players. I'm 95% sure Wycombe will go down this year, and if not then 100% will next year. That isn't pessimism, that is realism. We haven't got the players or the staff or indeed the money to compete in this league, unfortunately.
AB but there are quite a few clubs in a similar situation as us and I think this is the first time that as a club we have been in this situation. Clubs like Exeter, Torquay, Rochdale and a few others have smaller crowds and less money than us and can survive. The question here is can we adopt to a new life style and adapt? I would admit that is one we have little experience with and only time will tell I guess!
