Got what we deserved there, a completely broken team. Easy to have a go when you’re 2-0 down but the stuff we’re playing at 0-0 is a crime against the beautiful game
Cheers Stuart. Thanks for wasting another season. I understood last season as bad as we were and was willing to give him a chance - he’s simply not up to it.
Putrid half. It’s just the same every single game at home, I can’t see what he’s trying to do with this team at all. Burchnall level stubbornness in the face of failure
Fair play to Maynard, he’s mixed it up a bit - still would like to see 4 at the back at home now Macari’s back but we look far more direct and attacking than recently with the box midfield
You can either judge the game in isolation or you can judge a team incapable of showing ruthlessness and urgency and come to the conclusion that comes from the top. If Jatta is missing chances, bring him off. If you’re watching your team 1-0 and failing to stretch their lead and you see the...
This is just us until we sack Maynard, stuck in footballing purgatory
Jatta missing chances obviously the biggest single contributor but I don’t know how he can just watch a team he manages put in the exact same performance every week and not once be able to positively impact a game once it’s...
Fleetwood away just sounds annoying.
still no Didzy or Macari but Jodi maybe available off the bench.
Bass
Johnson Platt Bedeau
Gordon Palmer Abbott Tsaroulla
Grant Jatta Whitaker
growing a bit tired of Grant (even though I don’t really think he’s done much wrong nor is the cause of us being...
Maybe we were just hilariously bad and I’m conscious they not won since 1978 but Tranmere looked ‘too good to go down’ yesterday compared to what I’ve seen of the 4/5 teams around them
I think I’d somewhat back us to start beating the poorer teams when Didzy and Jones are back but with the run-in we’ll also have to get results against teams around us and we’ve consistently not looked like doing that for 2 years
Lost patience with Grant if I’m honest, I don’t think he’s bad but I also just don’t think he’s good either.
I’d like to see us go 433 or 442 at times, the current back 3 arent good enough on the ball for me to justify how much of it they see - I think Johnson has been poor since he’s come in...
That’s when you need your tricks surely? I think you’ve got to recognise you can’t create chances in a slow buildup with Grant and Edwards the same way you can with players like McGoldrick. So you’ve got to have a plan to go more direct
100% - we were awful and deserved to lose.
If that was a one-off you’d take it but it’s very worrying that performance came off the heels of Tuesday night, everything looks wrong with us at the moment - no variety in our attacking play, we’re leaving wing backs isolated defensively and the box...
piss piss poor. Colchester went man for man knowing we didn’t have players that could hurt them and Maynard’s had no answer (yet…again). How we came out for the second half doing *exactly the same* is bewildering beyond words - just play it long or something for 5 minutes, anything, just...
