TimRam Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 The games I've seen, we have pushed teams back but messed around in the final part just before the opposition penalty area so chances are gone. They then catch us out with a goal and that's our undoing. Need a 'flair' player or two that can run at a defence and actually beat a man rather than our players just fannying around to no avail. Worst team, probably the season when we went down to the old 3rd division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kash_a_ram_a_ding_dong Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 We clearly are the worst team in the championship at the moment. We don't have the worst players by far but we have the worst team. The table doesn't lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As others have said, there are some decent players on our books but they are not being organised or motivated in such a way that enables them to perform at their best. Obviously that hints at shortcomings in terms of coaching and management, but I feel that the players should take a look at themselves too.

If the players can do it all for themselves we can save a load of dosh not having a manager?! ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaddRam Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Pearsons squad on paper was much better than this squad easily.... I think Pearson tried to change things to quick and the players refused in a way. Jewells championship squad wasn't bad either.... Commons, Hulse, Barazite, Green etc... all decent players. Again i think it was down to the management and probably the players... vast improvement when Clough came in with the same squad.... same under Mac when Pearson left...

kevinhectoring Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 on paper it's a pretty strong team. And that's what most fans were saying at the start of the season. But the margins are thin in this league. So if you have a few problems (inexperience, what to do w Rooney, injuries, PC ??) then you can get in a slump. Still think we will finish top half, with a following wind... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can second this - I was a Ley Stand season ticket holder at the time and it was a miserable season - we started with a 5-0 hammering at Chelsea and finished with a 3-0 drubbing at mighty Shrewsbury. Relegated with 2 games to spare and were bankrupt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Durden Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Alan Nixon thinks we won't get relegated but our Top 6 aspirations are virtually over with. So we must be alright then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
