I try to be optimistic but word fail me at some of the basics we get wrong. Johnson has a monumental task here and no doubt is not convincing a lot of supporters at the moment.
Winchester keeping it tidy most of the time and passing sideways, thank **** we have him because the rest of our midfielders are too often seen blazing into the box trying to go past people and getting shots on goal. I'm not writing him off before anyone starts but a statistical approach only works of you know how the numbers are applied correctly. We have bought a 27 year old midfielder who doesn't score goals and get a lot of assists. We have about 5 of them already.
Gutted to lose- but also gutted that once again I didn’t think to get some money on an opponent with a bad sequence to end it against us. We do it every time
He needs to get this **** sorted and fast. Charlie Wyke might have scored 3 on Saturday but his touch like an elephant and losing the ball to / fouling their defenders puts us under pressure straight away.
Aye I’m always quite big on not getting on a players back too soon but Winchester makes no sense at all on first impressions. Not writing him off as ****e yet, just saying he’s certainly not what we needed.
I’m pig sick of it mate. I actually hate most of our players. Yes we’re a poor side but we should have enough about us to comfortably see off the likes of Plymouth and Wigan at home. Johnson has had minimal impact since he came in, we’ve played well once. Back to the players though they need to pull their fingers out, McGeady’s been saying how better everything is now Parkinson has gone well go and show it on the pitch then Aidan because you’ve been ****ing pathetic tonight mate.
Johnson has to go if this keeps up what's the point of playing away then been out battled at home by nearly every team, we had Watmore but let him go, shooting over the top over passing we are ****e. What are the new owners doing a well ? watching that and saying what have i let myself in for.
We are consistently inconsistent. When was the last time we had back to back League wins? The gap keeps widening between us and the top two. If we continue as we have been in the last 2 months, our season could be all over in the next 2 months. If that is the case, then its time to start planning for next season, and just playing the one's who are still going to be here. We are carrying too many passengers at the minute.
I see Wilfred Bony sharking himself about after a club and you wonder, worth a look? Aye he went ****, aye he’s bounced about a bit, but surely he’d smash League One still? Or am I just ****ing desperate here?
He would only be fickle if he was singing his praises on Saturday. The fact remains he was ****ing dog ****, but worst of all, a lazy ****er.
Utterly terrible that. With the exception of Diamond, who at least attempted positive things, that is a team so easy to play against it is comical. Easy to push around physically and mentally, if we don't go ahead you can't see us winning at all. Slow and predictable, toothless and largely gormless. No positives can be taken from that debacle, it was shameful. Another defeat at home to a team that never wins away, they are lucky there is no crowd. As for the pitch. That too is a bloody disgrace. There will be non league teams with better pitches than that, rain or no rain. No doubt they sold the grass seed along with everything else. It's nearer sixty than fifty years since I saw my first game, and there have been very few as bad as that.
Signing league 2 players just turns you into a league 2 team, I will give Winchester the benefit of the doubt but Mcfadzean is rubbish. We need a massive injection of quality quickly or we can forget about progressing this season.
But has he ever looked like a footballer in all the time he has been here . He is a very limited player, honest enough but not good enough imo. Having said that he is not alone, but the team played badly to-night, Wyke was not alone in this respect, and the mid field which should be our strength was in fact the weakest link.
He doesn't strike me as the type of guy who would slog his guts out for a couple grand every week... He's ruled out playing in league 2, so I doubt he'd come here. His agents are talking to teams in Russia, Korea and China. Tells you everything really. He wants one last pay day.
When you put Embleton into left back I reckon that is the manager telling McFadzean what he thinks. I think we lack desire at times to do the hard yards, instead just expect someone else to do it for them. That second goal should never have happened and it stopped all momentum. At that time we were bang on top, after it we were aimless. The movement from the forwards when the midfielders had it was statuesque. Wyke hatrick Saturday but today was nowhere near. Our decision making when playing forward is really crap at times. That is simply awareness of the picture around you and not enough have it. Good luck coaching it as well. Plymouth flew out the blocks and played with confidence to get their lead. They kept putting themselves on the line too to block stuff. Fair play. But when they look like they have more ideas in attacking 3rd than we do you know we have work to do. I reckon LJ may now really let them have both barrels.
As soon as Mcgeady went off we were devoid of any ideas. Embleton was a waste of a shirt when he came on as well. Johnson needs to sort it out, he has done nothing so far.
I try to be as level headed are I can after a game, but that was another can't really be arsed performance when we start to look like we're creeping a few places up the leauge. Biggest club this starting 11 will ever play for, why would you want to get promoted when you know you have one foot out the door and definitely out the door if we get promoted? We've never been top spot at any point in the 3 seasons in league one aswell. Shame we wont be able to attract championship level players that are able to step up once the takeover is sorted because of the cap.
