I agree. It also makes it harder to 'enjoy' him being our manager, for some anyway. Whatever was thought of Roseniors football style I think you could be sure he wanted to be here and for the Club to achieve things with him.

Are we trying to craft the perfect goal?

Bradley, plus some others.

Didn't last long for Sibs did it.

What do you base that on, not last season. Plus they got to get at our centrebacks instead! 😄

You've forgotten how decent he looked there last season, involved in our long unbeaten run? I would have had to say what a good choice it would have been, but I didn't need to! 😄

Except he might blow it again like last season? Plus it would allow a new manager chance to assess the out of contract players and decide how best to 'go forward'. I think if more fans could see something being built they would be more inclined to accept not getting promoted. Atm we have neither, no building for the future and no guarantee of promotion, just a decent opportunity (slightly better than last season).

The fact that he looked rather good as LFB last season, and when we needed one last night we got Cashin, has to be questioned. Obviously Sibley has done something wrong?

We look an ordinary league 1 team. Most of the players are anything but. Chortle, chortle. 👍

Yes but other than that we're still 2nd. 😄 I don't understand how with so many skilful wide players, and players that can play through the middle and a midfield that could pass the ball, how do we create so little. What happened to them?

You have to laugh don't you. I don't think I've ever heard such 'amusing' statements as those our manager comes out with. Although it is predictable in content it is never predictable in form. Look people on here think I find it enjoyable watching a manager massacre any chance the squad have of playing football in a constructive manner. I said constructive, not even necessarily exciting or pretty. It's dreadful stuff we're being fed and the worry is we'll keep getting fed it all the while it looks like the possibility of being able to say 'we're doing well, look where we've come from' exists. Although that will change to 'we're doing well look how sustainable we are', I think. I feel sorry for the players trying to make Warne's tactics work. Even when it works apparently 'we've not played well all season'. 😉

It is in this league.

For anyone who missed it. Poetry.

👍 Well he didn't see that last season when he hadn't the opportunity to get them fit like he has this. Might finish fourth. Maybe higher, that depends on how badly other teams choke.

Charlton are so poor they hadn't won in how many games? Oh come on Curtains last night was just another dreadful example of how Warne thinks we should play football - although I hear he threw his 'get out of jail' card into the ring, with a 'we haven't played well' all season remark! WTF. 😄 I can't remember the last game we played really well and still we manage to win games. But of course Warne tells us this League is much of a muchness so no wonder we struggle. How long have you been watching us, how many managers have you seen? This guy is managing at a different level to most of the previous managers I remember so it is difficult to see just how bad he is, but he's bad. 👍

Of course it's still all to play for. Just like it was end of last season. Only the fact the league is poor will get us promoted imo.

I did wonder if Gayle might already be regretting signing for us. 😄 He did a good impression of a limited hold-up striker last night I thought. If he was waiting for service in the box or passes laid off for him he might have a long wait.

What did we end up with on the pitch last night? NML, Wilson, Barks, CBT and Sibs (out wide-ish) how is that the players fault when they are obviously sent out to 'be on the grass' with no idea of how to play?!

Pragmatic would be getting the best out of your (supposedly) limited resources. Warne doesn't do that he sends a team out to, as he sees it. counter the opposition and hopes to get the best out of the players where-ever it is he plays them. Why did Cashin start at left back and not Sibley who we know can play there? That would have been pragmatic. Instead we have to set up a formation to allow Bradley to play in a 3 at the back, why? That isn't pragmatic when we have played better playing a four of Nyambe Nelson Cashin and Fozzy/Sibley/Elder. It isn't pragmatism at all.

We're not the ones out on the pitch! I thought the crowd sounded well up for it last night. That's how it sounded anyway. The players are sent out and set up in such a way that you have no idea how good they really are! Look how Warne made Jason Knight look last season, fans were saying he was rubbish! 😄 There's a reason we look an ordinary League 1 team, that is how we are set up and managed!

100% this. We have a squad of players and many of them don't know where they'll be playing next season. Will our manager want to keep them, will they want to stay? Who will be recruited and who might come through from the Academy? Do we as a Club want those decisions to be down to Warne and his horrible approach to football? It's not too late to change, it's better to do it now in a way, a new manager would have chance to change the way these players are sent out, although who knows how they were sent out in the second half last night! I have no confidence that Warne will get us over the line, especially after the end of last season.

You think the manager might do something about that? 😄

The football was awful, hardly any creativity and lots of odd positioning of players. No real pattern to our play either before or after various substitutes. It's been like this since Warne was appointed, he gets through it mostly because of the quality of players recruited. Should have won, really?

Wow!

What was created that Collins could have taken advantage of? Yes we might have missed him but we'd have done no better.
