Probably when they return the hostages and stop voting a terrorist organisation to run their country. Not saying it is right, but they couldn’t have hoped that their actions would not lead to the Israeli reaction. Hamas and those who support them in Palestine also have blood on their hands.

I will renew, because I know that Warne et al will not be here forever. There should be excitement about going to the matches, we are second in the table FFS. For me though, there is no more excitement than going to a mid table match with nothing to play for and that is purely down to the football we are playing. I will leave it until the last day to renew though.

We played Igor as a sweeper controlling everything. None of our current defenders would be capable of that, nor do I think our current manager has the ability to understand how to play it.

Put the overhead air vent on full and push it forward. Open newspaper and keep letting the corner of a page just touch the persons head. Guarantee they will move their seat forward within five minutes. Tried and tested and will help pass the time for you.

I see little evidence of them practicing much every day in training. I am sure they do practice, but the manager is clearly inept at getting his message over. They look confused.

Why then revert to the utter, shambolic disorganised garbage that they reverted to. The players look confused, get in each others way and are almost zero threat to the opposition goal from open play. The answer of course is with the manager and his clearly inept staff of coaches [sic]. I agree that we cannot move them on at this stage of the season, but promoted or not, they have to go at the seasons end. My hope is that the owner has a big enough pair of balls be making the right moves. Sadly. I suspect not, the manager probably has him in his pocket.

Yes but Mr Warne said that he likes the way Wilson takes on defenders, even if he loses possession; which he mostly does.

He seemed concerned that they were closing us down when we had the ball. 🤷🏽 keep moving the ball and dictate where their players move. His answer of pass it long to the opposition doesn’t work. If he had more belief in his team, life would be easier for him.

Same old why keep the ball when we can give it away easily.

I would love to know what they are being coached. they showed grief moments of good football playing through, only marginal offsides stopped them. Why go back to lumping the ball forward. 🙁

My own view is that a ten minute card will be a hiding place for inept referees not strong enough to control a game.

Won't that give forwards with big buttocks an advantage? 🙂

Consistent.

If we had have sold Cashin to Brighton I would have thought exactly the same. His attitude has been exemplary, he didn't go anywhere. Different situation. I have no issue with him leaving, he wants to play at a higher level, let him go and play there to be fair to him.

I am not a fan of selling a player and keeping him on loan. If we sell him, wish him well and let him go. It is different from loaning a player coming in, where they hopefully see it as an opportunity to impress.

Players come and players go, it isn't a big deal. Our current manager hasn't got the best out of him so good luck to the kid.

Absolutely agree, not the time to change. My main concern with the current manager is the future.

We get run through our midfield because there is a massive gap there. It is the way that the manager sets the team up for whatever reason. For the same reason, our defensive players frequently end up playing a long ball (aka giving the ball away to the opposition). It is frustrating for many fans and I would hazard a guess, the players too.

Painful

On their own they mean nothing. Give me a genuine stat for how many times we lose the ball. Or, give me a stat that counts the number of consecutive passes moving forwards. By forwards, I mean the end result being further up the pitch, so passing back within the movement is fine, so long as we don't carelessly and lazily give possession away needlessly.

I don’t like him as a manager, I don’t like the way that his football is often being played, resulting in us continually giving the ball to the opposition to play with; it drives me nuts. When we play football and retain possession, we are a much better side. We are capable of that but we don’t see it enough. I am not critical of him taking the job, but tactically he is outdone by others too many times. I am baffled by the decision of our sole owner to offer the job to him.
