Not great when the Head Coach starts having a pop after the 2nd friendly.
Not seeing the usual "everything is great" videos, from the senior players.
All a bit strange.

My wish is to back the club and not appear alarmist.
Balanced views / benefit of the doubt and all that.
The Reading match is all but 2 weeks away. An ideal opportunity to get off to a flying start.

1. Slagged off the players after just the 2nd friendly
2. Kept playing a system we don't have the players for, then playing the players out of position
3. In interviews stop using terms like "small club", "small budget", "survival", and "struggle". We've heard that crap before.
2 weeks in, and the hope is draining away.
For a manager who finished 17th in L1 last season, I think you are bloody lucky to have this job. So instead of sounding like a man getting his excuses for failing in early, hit the reset button and start again, while there is time, as I want you to suceed.
Love and peace

Spot on.
Especially the point about constant references to 'little'.
Learning to read clusters is not something your eyes do naturally. It takes constant practice.

Just missing "Colchester should be our role model"

We got away with it against Reading and it covered over our shortcomings.

Never has such an unpopular appointment been turned around in this fashion.
Please bump this thread at the juncture of the unethical World Cup break in November when more solid judgements can be made.
Results in October will sort his future out.
His interviews have got better

Even then, we'd not be out of the woods. There's a big turn over of important players in the summer of 2023. That could go either way.
After He had a pop at Marv last week, have any of the players improved under His coaching??

He might get another game but I think Appleton might get the sack tomorrow.
We've not come back from the World Cup break looking like a better coached team with players who understand what the manager wants.

The only advantage of a 4-4-2 is we don't have any strikers who are effective on their own up front.
2 together give us a chance of playing out best chance of scoring goals and winning matches - Yates - with a strike partner (Madine), hitting a hot spot, and putting a few points on the board.
But no, a half fit Beesley gets started up top with Madine and our best chance of scoring a goal and winning the match is stuck out ....... wait for it ..... on the left wing ....... complying with defensive duty instructions.
Joke set up and team selection.
