Everything that was warned about with regards to switching to a style that the players aren’t suited to is now visible to most. There is a very good reason we didn’t start trying to be Brazil of the 1970’s over the last 2 seasons… and as a result saw the side be one of the best in the league… it’s because the manager realised the limitations of the squad and played to their strengths. That’s management.
I am wondering at what point the collective penny will drop that we cannot continue to play this way UNTIL we have the squad capable to do it. The Championship is too strong a league to be doing that, last time we got to this level we were a slick, well oiled machine with players capable of playing Premier League football in Dyer, Williams, Rangel and Britton. That spine would go on to win the League Cup, finish top half in the Premier League and perform well in Europe…. A championship spine it was not.
We had the players with ability leagues above the level they were playing at meaning we could afford to take some risks with regards to playing style. A nearing prime Leon Britton in league 1 seems a bit laughable now doesn’t it? That’s because it was.
The situation sadly is not the same today. We need to play to our strengths, get some points on the board, get the players in that we need and slowly incorporate the system you want. People talk of long term plans… and then change a system overnight?! We will get slaughtered at this level.
How about that actually becomes the longer term plan touted about and we slowly implement it while protecting our Championship status? Too mad an idea?
We do not want to lose our league position and drop down to league 1 as I see some people now happily stating they wouldn’t mind. I find that sad to read and extremely naive.
Relegation won’t mean us having an easy season to test this style against, we will lose even more players, have less income to replace them and the spiral continues. It’s an arrogant point of view to think relegation can be handled easily by the club.
Relegation is not a positive option and the fact we have gone from play offs to the Premier League to accepting the realities and the weighing up of pros and cons of League 1 football in such a short space of time should tell you something ain’t right.
I like Russell Martin, I think he has a good future in the game, my issue is not with him and I hope he stays for a long time to build something. My issue is with the attitude surrounding everything at the moment that we must play a certain way immediately, regardless of the damage it will cause.

This thread has become a little cruel now, I know everyone is having fun at the expense of Parnassus me included, but I came to the conclusion when the poor guy could not sleep and was staying up all night trying to explain stuff to me that he actually does have issues, so maybe a more sensitive approach towards him is needed here as he is clearly struggling. |
You may be right.
The poor dear is now confusing concern with anger ?
Group hug anyone ?

There is no confusion, there is definitely anger and frustration.
You have been invited to get back on topic and tell me what it is you disagree with, you are yet to tell us and instead continue the trolling.
Nice to see you have miraculously recovered from the news of Lenny Johnrose anyway…. Hmmm. | |

100% correct, this site should certainly be doing a bit more considering the glaringly obvious issues here.
The time spent posting, the times posts are being made and the content are not normal behaviour.....as much as he annoys there is a concern from me for his well being. |
I love it when trolls get angry enough they trot out the tried and tested “I’m concerned” line. This one has been done to death over the years and rarely works, so certainly work on someone as untrollable as me.
I’m afraid if you want to get the better of me young man, you have to combat my views with your own, something you have notoriously struggled to do over the years.
You can’t knock a man that knows he’s above you is the saying… but it’s great watching you try  | |

I don't agree with much what you post but ,looking at what the likes of Winston,Lifelong and chums post,I think you are pretty mild. Stubborn and pig headed but so what;so am I,so are many including those who believed MY criticism of Amartin were that of a maniac.
I single out those previous two a they are somehow revered on here when in fact they rarely post without directly attacking an individual in some way shape or form. Both should have been banned IMO many months ago but that's another issue.
I don't think what you post deserves the responses you get.
keep it up |
Oh there is very little you can disagree with regarding the points I make, dislike them maybe - but you would have to go some to actually disagree.
That’s why this gang never does. In order to disagree you would be asked to show your reasoning, that terrifies people who have very little behind the opinion they claim to espouse.
It’s far easier to abuse and troll than to make a specific counter argument. I have opened the floor to the counter argument, yet we have had 4 pages of trolls crying together 
As amusing as that is, doesn’t really make for great reading.
Maybe one of them will get brave soon and grace us with a counter argument…. | |

As a former copper you genuinely behave that his postings are normal, the time he spends posting and times that he posts are normal!?
There is no way you can believe its normal, if you ignored behaviour like this in the profession in this day and age then serious questions would be asked.
I am dumbfounded as an ex copper you can't see that he is either a WUM or has clear control issues, officers are trained to see these things in modern policing. |  |

Well it’s not normal to have a gang of trolls fear what you say so much that they ignore their families to post endlessly at him. So the responses will be far more frequent than normal.
Brad Pitt’s fan mail also won’t be “normal”, the level of attention he receives for his talent dictates that his interactions won’t be typically normal.
Consider me your Brad Pitt. Now calm down, you are going to give yourself a coronary.
Feel free to tell us what you disagree with regarding the opinion stated that seems to have riled you up so much. You never know, you may actually post something interesting for once | |

I’m not sure I have moved away, one of this gang was telling me I lived in Aberdare last week… 
Builth has assured me he’s not a liar so I don’t know what to think now. Maybe it’s little welshmen dressed up as kangaroos I see every now and again then?  | |

What's your job.
What former are you?
I have had my own little business,been a manager of a large concern in my early 20s and have designed more training and mentoring courses than you could imagine.
What I wouldn't do is assume anything at all at face value. One can comment as to what sees in front of us and no more. That you assume I am what you think or Dr P staggers me,as much as those reading relentless abuse from the same posters yet not seeing THAT as trolling.
I reply to text not the person.
Hence,those who reply to previous defunct usernames are really those who are trolling.
Now then Dap,you seem to have to have drifted off topic again.
You'll note I do not seek friendship per se on here nor do I see the need to impress others with super support crap that which is killing our club right now. Most do;many cliques abound even on here. | |

There doesn’t have to be a membership to be in a gang. A gang can form where people with similar goals, ambitions and motives display them to serve a purpose.
Your purpose would be simply frustration with how wrong you called it and how bad your behaviour has been to people who called it right, hence why you simply cannot talk about the topic and you are doing your best to discuss anything but.
That’s what the rest of the gang do too, funny that isn’t it. | |

I told him I have not joined any gang - never been I'm my nature - unless you count the Scout Gang Show, but not sure that is the same thing ?
He continues with his mantra that he is right and everyone else is wrong.
Such a shame.
Maybe he needs to get out more ? | |

It's not a mantra, it's simply a fact - I don't live in Aberdare. Prove I do.
I also taught you that you don't have to ''join'' a gang to be in one, one forms and you follow their principles.
Currently you belong to a gang that looks to stifle any football discussion and attack posters you feel threatened by intellectually.
''get a life'', ''get out more'', ''I'm concerned'' etc these are all buzz phrases of a troll when they are struggling to counter an on topic point. You even tried to use the illness of a former player to get out of it yesterday, but I see you have made a miraculous mental recovery today.
The floor has been opened to you and invited to make your footballing points and let us know what you disagree with - as of yet you have failed to be able to do so.
Don't blame anyone else for your behavior. Own it. | |
