Grimbeard reacted to Gee SCREAMER !! in Torquay (H) FACR1 (Replay) Tues 15th Nov 2022
Fairly professional job done. Their player Lapslie should have been off twice. Filthy player. Osula needs to learn to pass rather than run into 3 players. if he passes to McGoldrick once in the first half and after a 60 yard sprint by the old boy in the second, it's 7-0. He looked proper pissed off with the second after that run went begging.

There was no issue. If someone doesn't like a manager they will always find an issue no matter what he says.
Warne was happy we'd won, thought we'd played well in parts and not so good in other parts. A fairly sensible and innocuous interview I thought.

Good interview from Richard Stearman. Comes across very well and as a real good team player.

I mean, If I'd spent 40 odd million quid on a football club I'm pretty sure my Mrs wouldn't let it drop either! ?

Nah.
They’ll want someone who can adopt a balance and unbiased approach. Is B4 there?

I first read this that you are just home from the Oxford game and I was thinking "Vow! 3,5 months runaway. That's impressive!" Unfortunately, I read it again now I feel like you've disappointed me.

That can’t be right? I distinctly recall multiple posters explaining a few weeks ago that we’re rubbish and the season is already over…. ? COYR! ?

Ooooh, I reckon I know this! Is it because we're not running around enough?

Grimbeard reacted to LazloW in Milton Keynes Dons (A) (Sat 12th Nov 2022)
Well, of course we are. We are a League 1 team that was put (thrown) together in about a fortnight from a mixture of free signings and kids. Add injuries, a general lack of fitness (for some), suspensions and change of management, what exactly were you expecting? We haven't even got to December yet - it was always going to take some time. Neither Warne nor Rosenior are miracle workers.

Same way that some of our posters are predictable in their attacks, with poor control, usually making the wrong decision, and unable to try a different approach.

The league table tells us that doesn't it?
Not really a fan of xG its as useful as VAR.

Grimbeard reacted to kash_a_ram_a_ding_dong in Tactics. Warne vs Rosenior
Despite loving the possession football under Mac (1&2) I found roseniors (you know,that temporary stand in manager we had) football utterly tedious.
He somehow managed to make passing football look like a boring and goalless pastime when we know it doesn't have to be.
Thanks for your time Liam but I'm glad we moved on (well some of us have).

Grimbeard reacted to Curtains in Tactics. Warne vs Rosenior
It’s a simple poll.
You either like Roseniors tactics or Warnes.
Sorry if it annoys some but that’s the question
David isn’t happy by looks of it
I don’t think I’ve done many or any polls before .

Grimbeard reacted to Rich84 in Tactics. Warne vs Rosenior
I think that's what Warne wants isn't it?
Always got the feeling with Rosenior, and Cocu especially, that it was retain possession at all costs and this stopped the players from taking risks with passing thru the lines, hence recycling yo GK even from throws and free kicks 10 yrds in opposition half.
Personally I find that mind numbing and frustrating as hell, we talk about Mac 1 as best times, iirc we swept forwards quickly with purpose, but you need the right players to do that, it will take time

Grimbeard reacted to DerbyRevolution in Tactics. Warne vs Rosenior
Rosenior didn't really play out from the back. We played it across the back a few times, looked panicked then went long and often straight out of play, the worst of that being at Lincoln
I think now Rosenior has gone people are remembering his football more fondly than they should. It was ok for Oxford, Charlton and the first 45 v Barnsley, after that it started to decline and never recovered. The only exception to that that I can think of was West Brom at home in the cup, that was a good performance.
From what I can tell so far Warne wants us to try and get it into the wide CB then down the flanks quickly to the wing backs or up into the striker.
Ultimately, both weren't or haven't been good enough. Only Warne has chance to change that now
I will add, the officials have been nothing short of shocking and haven't helped either of them

Grimbeard reacted to Sparkle in Serial Whingers Notts Forest playtime, which we simply cannot accept.
When you look at them you really think that Eddie Lewis and Claude Davis could improve them ?

I'd have rather seen Sibley start the game than Dobbin, who flatters to deceive and is much less of a team player!
