Bailey Posted February 20, 2022 Report Share Posted February 20, 2022 I was most disappointed that he didnt change the system. We simply seemed to be launching long ball after long ball when what we really needed to do was get on the ball, take a proper touch and play. Im surprised we didnt change our shape a bit before the Townsend sub when it was clear Gomes was useless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to be that launching of the ball was completely on the players going by his post-match interview. He said he was disappointed that they resorted to that.

There’s an improvement on that front for sure. What ever happens this season though we need to take learnings from it - we can’t keep holding places in our squad for inadequate players who turn up everyone now and then.

I think regardless of whether we stay up this season there’ll be a big change in the make up of the squad come next season with plenty leaving and arriving.

Change the players or change the players basically. I don’t wanna see Gomes play for us again. Only got to see 10 minutes of the match but he stuck out like a sore thumb…. It was as if he didn’t know what to do. StevO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornish Steve Posted February 21, 2022 Report Share Posted February 21, 2022 It's going to take time, and a lot of damage was done in the first half of the season. I don't expect miracles, but I do expect to avoid relegation: That's the goal this year. Why am I confident things will improve? The manager has a lot riding on this, and he's brought in what appears to be an excellent team of coaches. In interviews, he mentions reviewing video of each game to point out what worked and what failed. In other words, it's a system designed to improve the team, and that's exactly what we need.

He seems to sap all energy and urgency from the team - the complete opposite of Allan. Yesterday we had no alternative really, since Allan was in danger of a red. Hopefully, by next weekend, we'll have Doucoure back. Hafnia 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if joorabjian has his dirty fingers involved in transfers then frank will be telling him to fuck off along with moshiri. I believe the assurances about transfer targets etc was what dragged negotiations out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the reports that Lampards already contacted Chelsea over Gallagher are true as he is the type of player we need to be going for.

He’s been out for five weeks and City is the hardest game for a midfield player’. The staff just replied, ‘Yes, he can handle it’." ‘Yes, he can handle it’...... frank was being polite, the medical staff replied "seriously gaffer - you could put pebbles in his boots, give him some laxatives and give him a dead leg and he will cover more ground than half the charlatans who have been defrauding this club for so long".

MikeO Posted March 2, 2022 Report Share Posted March 2, 2022 Just watched his pre-Boreham Wood press conference, he's such an impressive guy; really hope he's successful and around a long time. For me, even if we go down he stays. Btay, Romey 1878, London Blue and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a clear idea/identity to us again. Stay up and in 2 seasons after that I genuinely believe we will be top 8. London Blue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gwlad Posted March 7, 2022 Report Share Posted March 7, 2022 I hope he doesn't have a clause in his contract that if he sees we are a basket case this season, he can walk. Sorry, feeling massively deflated during this match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After that I don’t think anyone can complain at being dropped. Not one of them. Wouldnt start DCL, Gordon, VDB, or any of the back four (if we had enough players to come in) against Wolves.
