archied Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Change ,,, I blame change , whether you agree with Mel and Pearson making the changes is another thing altogether but we are not hitting the ground running because we are making changes on lots of levels ,,,,, one of the byproducts of this is I believe we are gonna see will Hughes really kick on over this season , I believe we are going to see him evolve into a far more complete player and I think we will see that he can do far more than we give him credit for , I believe he will evolve into a far more rounded midfielder more than capable of playing in a midfield two ,,, finding the right partner for him is the next cog in our team build ,, that said whether we can keep hold of him will then become a real issue with bigger clubs chasing him in the way we have all xpected them to but never quite happened ,, I'm pissed off we are going backwards to go forwards ( hopefully) but will suck it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team against Newcastle was very attacking with Wilson and vydra Anya and Russell. It asks a lot of hughes and Bryson... They've done well in the last three games considering but the risk is that either hughes or Bryson suffer burn out or get injured. Johnson or butterfield would not be much use in a middle two. I just don't think we have the players to go 4-2-4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TETRA Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 It has to be " Poor Recruitment " for me. The money Mel let Clement spend last season was ridiculous in hindsight, especially as Clement was totally new & untested at being the main man in charge at any Club. Then to sack him seven months later after allowing him such a free spending reign doesn't add up to me. Then when Mel was asked after Clements dismissal why he let him spend so much on new players, Mel's reply was " Well I didn't want him to have any excuses should he fail ". Sorry all that makes no logical sense what so ever to me. As a Club we are now suffering the consequences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, on Saturday we made an absolute hatful of quality chances but failed to convert them. I think the green shoots of recovery are coming through. Green shoots of recovery. I like it.

That phrase was coined by badger-lookalike Norman Lamont. Come think of it, at the time his special advisor was a young toryboy by the name of D Cameron, so it might actually have been coined by ex-PM Dave himself.

FindernRam Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 One thing I thought about whilst watching a game on TV is how many players we deemed not good enough. Moved out and that are now playing in teams higher up the league than us: Fielding Ledzins Grant Byewater Shotton Martin Pringle Varney Naylor Ward Barker Bennett Plus those moved abroad or wanted out because of our lack of progress: Hendrick, Brayford etc. I'm sure there are others.

TroyDyer Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 I would have Hendrick back. But only until I am shown that the 10 million we got has been spent on a better option. So far it hasn't been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jono Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Thing is I don't think we are "terrible." Not playing well, missing chances, bit unlucky, occasionally lack concentration at key moments. ..Poor yes, Not good yes but "terrible" ? We were terrible during the PC slump .. aimlessly passing the ball across the back with isolated forwards, dull uninspiring and bereft of fight. That was dire to watch.

Agree, we are not terrible but not great either. Pearson is re building the team which will ultimately bring him success or failure. It's too early to be over critical, although I understand the frustrations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
