RLB at Lorient

[keep calm and carry]

Well we’ve been very predictable for months now

They could relax and go all out though, we couldnt

they could kick a ball too, we couldnt

Since late October, it’s been like watching a Michael Beale side.
Mind, he wasn't helped in the January window.

Coinciding with the Ribeiro appointment

 

[Fletch]

In his first 10 games he had 8 wins that had Lorient in the Champions League. After that they only won 3 in the next 4 months. The following season they were relegated.

Dont want to contribute to the negativity but there seems to be a pattern developing in his albeit short career - start unbelievably strong and subvert all expectations, then completely fall away

It’s a valid point to be fair

 

[viccarlton]

He'a been found out like. Every single team does the same shite against us if they go ahead cos he doesn't know how to change it.

Isn’t it more of a case that we do the same sh!te against every team week in, week out?

 

[Zweiguys]

What do you think is going to happen here in the summer?

I honestly don’t know. The players aren’t really doing much to prove their value.
I wish that there was a way we could keep the core tone and bring in a few hard nosed experienced players. Probably won’t happen though.

It's been a carbon copy of the Jack Ross season in League One. We were drab across the 3 playoff games that season, and can't see any different this time.

It’s clear the players aren’t playing for him.

He doesn’t even have the motivational skills to make up for his lack of tactical intelligence.

Starting to think that there might be something in that theory unfortunately.

The style of play and performances had gradually been getting worse for months beforehand but the last 7 games have been every bit as bad as anything we saw under Beale and Dodds last season.

In the semi we were good at home and resolute away. Final we were poor, granted.

 

[woodlebert]

It is an interesting parallel.

There was a clever chap stating this may happen earlier in the season.

[Jasper]

Are we sure he didn't get Leyton Orient relegated?

5 dead rubbers

Ah, that's OK then.

Mental finding out someone's maths and english GCSE results from 1 post.

A great post for sniffing out the Drooling Sycophants, mind.

QPR were just as bad. It was just a classic meaningless game

They werent, thats why they won, easily.

Hope you’re wrong mate but you’re right about our end of season run

They didnt easily at all. It was a nothing game.

they scored in about 3 minutes and then spent 87 minutes chilling out. their keeper could have literally fucked off, had a breakfast and came back in time time save Ballards header, and no one would have noticed. it was easy

I get that but I dont think any of the 22 players were that bothered whether they lost won or drew the game. QPR were probably playing with more freedom as their season was done, compared to us trying to not to get injured mixed with being not arsed ourselves.

He may be a good coach I don’t know, but lord he bores the life out of me and surely that must be the feeling amongst the players too. Just never felt like us as fans have got a connection with him imo.

He’s clearly not a good coach though. Our 3 midfielders first thought is to play towards our own goal to no lose possession. That’s not a good coach.
