I'm there too. We need to be trying different things to see what works, who works with who...

MPH just doesn't work for us, send him back and leave Cullen at CAM. Give Abdullai a go in possibly his best position too, CDM

Why are we playing a CAm and a CDM on the wings, doesn't anyone wonder?

Why are we persisting with older players? Naughton 36, McLaughlin 37, why?

Why not rest a few guaranteed starters and give some kids a go, if baffles me. The only answers can be that LW is either clueless and/or too much of a coward to try new things. He's stuck in a "style" and cannot change, or is scared to.


Regarding McLaughlin, we sent 3 keepers out on loan last week, we don't have much left.

Last paragraph is it for me.

It's just a limitation of a lot of coaches these days. If they don't have players of the right type or quality to play the way that they want to play, the concept of maybe playing a different way doesn't register with them. They're all so desperately one dimensional. All trying to Ape Guardiola.

Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

Well that seems bloody stupid, doesn't it. What if Vigoroux gets injured, we'll have McLaughlin for the duration? After today that's a tad worrying.

So lets see, we have no decent cover at goalkeeper, we have no decent cover at centre back, we only really have (of any quality) Joe Allen to cover midfield, we have no cover on the wings, we have no cover at stirker, it's Bianchini or Vipotnik.

Just as well Coleman took over when he did eh or after this window we 'd be asking O'Leary and Robinson to come out of retirement, oh and bring Trunds and Curt with you...

I thought you were glad to see Fisher go and I bet you couldn't name the other two. Personally I wouldn't have had either on the bench.

Yea I was.
That said,who would have thought we have selected an even worse keeper,which is the case
Fisher was simply effete and cowardly .
McGlaughlin simply isn’t a goalkeeper in the true sense of the word .

Football eh


You liked Fisher then ?

No I don't rate Fisher and IMO should never pull on a shirt for us again. Watts and Hughes are just not ready so needed to go out on loan, yes we have little else. For me the blame lies with the completely idiotic owners we had who through ridiculous decisions put us in a financial position where we couldn't strengthen the squad last summer or even with money in the bank can't do it now due to P&S rules.

We need to get rid of Williams and get a decent coach in. Explain fully the position to him and get him to try and get the best out of what we have with the promise of structured recruitment next summer when we are better placed with the financial rules.

In short tred water this season and start developing for the future. It's the only way in my opinion.

3 nil down and on 66 minutes he brings on our star player Cullen when he should be resting for the biggest game of the season next week.

My methods are not favoured by some but by god i speak the truth.

Treading water is no easy task with this side’s attitude. We’ve got enough quality if only just but they need to be at their best in every game they play. There’s still time to fall down this league believe me.

A new coach will get more out of this squad and easily have us mid table. Williams has gone backwards the last month and the players are not performing for him.

Yep.

We have nowhere near one of the worst squads in the division. Could do with beefing up in certain positions for sure, but most would probably say the same. Mid table is about where we should be.

That's the key for me. Even a squad of poor players can look like they're organised, drilled, working to some sort of plan or even vaguely resemble a team of people who haven't mostly all met on the bus on the way to the game.

Twelve months on after Williams arriving can anyone honestly say that's what we are?
