It seemed to me symbolic of how he is feeling at the moment with the stick he is getting and lack of answers, retreating into his shell with a cap on and hood up so we can just about see his face.

I agree with most of what you say. Wash and Bradley are woeful in my opinion. I think you can expect errors at this level though. The problem is the style of the football. Stevie Mac would do something with his squad, deffo missing a decent striker, not sure why that was not addressed though, don't hit the onion bag, you don't win games, its simple...

Unsure why, if we did have a soft underbelly yesterday, he didn’t give this lad some minutes? It was his one and only midfield signing.

RadioactiveWaste Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 The soft underbelly has been part of the general character for yonks and is a persistant problem, however, the flip side is the general character of wanting to play football on the deck. Whenever we get serious about the soft underbelly what happens in a bonfire of all things we like about our team. and usually we still have the weakenss because we just don't want to be a thug team and we're not cut out to be stoke.

Watching Hourihane in the middle of the park just booting the ball in the direction is infuriating when Fornah is sat on the bench. jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes technically it's under his tenure but he was openly candid how he stubbornly didn't rate him whatsoever and if it wasn't for his idiotic stubbornness which led to a lack of numbers up front during preseason. We can only thank Forsyth for that. I'd love to know a list of players Mark Thomas or the newly formed scouting team have recommended and he rejected over this summer.

Watching Hourihane in the middle of the park just booting the ball in the direction is infuriating when Fornah is sat on the bench. I have only seen the highlights so really in no position to comment, but I think the soft underbelly comment more likely further deflection by Warne (but accept I am well beyond the point of giving him the benefit of the doubt). He and Barker have a method of play. One method. I don’t think it is how a number of our players want to play, or are suited to play. Fornah is apparently much more of a scrapper, second ball, type of player. Why therefore is he not giving him more minutes?

Raich Carter Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 I have no idea why Schteve is being mentioned. He is so far out of our league, financially, that it shows how delusional some of our fans are. Ex-England Manager, currently at Man U prob earning £800k pa - honestly, are you lot real? We’re in League fkn One. blue texel ram and jimtastic56 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
