    It was miserable this season and you want the same next season because you’re frightened of change?

    Selles has been here since early December and hasn’t been able to get two consecutive wins in that time. Despite everyone acknowledging we had a decent squad at the close of the summer transfer window that was then added to in the January window, we’ve been outplayed by teams like Oxford and Portsmouth on much smaller budgets. Our home record continued to be abysmal and I believe we only won one of the recent 6 pointers. The team mostly only went on the front foot after going behind. And he constantly plays square pegs in round holes rather than change the formation of the team to suit the players he has at his disposal.

    can we correct you there?

    millar and belloumi, our biggest signings were both out for every single second of selles reign
    first of
    so thats mute

    secondly
    our two best signings in jan

    matazo and barry, were out after 4 games

    so thats what, 15m+ of transer fees, useless and unavailable

    now suddenly we have zero pace in the team, literally, we have no players in the squad with any pace or directness

    changing formation how?
    give an example

    Er, no. They sunk like a stone and were almost relegated. My point being telling players they won't be here next season isn't unique to us.

    You seem to pop up to defend the owners decisions then go into hiding while the season actually plays out..

    Constantly playing non wingers as wingers ( Gelhardt, Lincoln, Joseph and Burstow) instead of going up top with two central strikers. Kamara, Giles and Dremeh all capable of playing as wing backs, but Giles got shipped out and Dremeh hasn’t got a look in other than to be played out of position.

    giles is not even here
    kamara is not even close to a wing back?

    kamara is meant to play in an attacking midfield role
    i've said it and i will say it constantly
    never been so sure of any footballer in my life

    so what you on about

    There wasn't the same coverage of football back then so scrutiny isn't the same as now, but from what I saw/remembered he was a solid and somewhat underrated GK. Think he was on the cusp of the England squad at one point - at a time when there was a lot of competition.

    He's reporting what he's hearing.

    Just you don't like it.

    Cos reality to you is what you think at any given moment of the day.

    That's not reality weathercock.

    Sorry to break it to you.

    No one would have been surprised today if Portsmouth scored a scruffy goal
    With 5 minutes to go. It wouldn’t have been unlucky. It would have been consistent with our tenure under Selles so far.
    He’s not a bad coach but he hasn’t lived up to his expectation. I.e. if he could get a tune out of Reading with no budget, what could he do at a bigger club? Well… he’s got a tune out of our players too. Just a crap one in terms of excitement or any sort of positivity.
