Football. ...teams will score.

We are fourth and the club is far far better than last year.

What do you want him to say to press when he believes it to be the case ?

If this club doesn’t get out this league this season it’s in serious risk of languishing in this league for many years. Last year was about sorting things off the field and they’ve done a cracking job, but a club this size needs to get out this league and quick. Last year was a free ride but this year needs to be much better and we’re exactly the same, not sure how you work it we’re far better?

Shouldn't say anything?

Yeah. Question asked and he says I'm not speaking....great.

Read his quote again...the headline is what the depressive are going off on this thread.

Showing exactly why every time he says anything he gets slated as there's nothing wrong with what he is saying and any manager would say it.

"We have good players here and i think the reward will come in that sense if we keep believing in what we do.
We are not giving up a huge amount of opportunities per game as seen on Tuesday where Jon McLoughlin didn't have a huge amount to do against a good team.
From what i have seen on the training ground and in matches we will get those rewards sooner rather than later"

What he said is bollocks though, they had more shots, more possession and better pass completion. The only rewards that will come from that are defeats. Trying to make out our defence is getting better when everything points towards us getting worse is f***ing nonsense.

Based on my playing years I’m of the firm opinion that defending is MOSTLY about how the unit is organised and led. Our unit isn’t. We do need clean sheets though. People saying we don’t are weird. It’s like saying you want to be better off and spending more. If you want more points you work on scoring more AND conceding less.

You do need them, you get them by keeping the ball away from the box and our players aren't good enough at keeping possession to do that. They also sit too deep far too much. Keeping their shape is paramount as well and they are f***ing shite at that as well
 
To be fair, apart from the odd shining light (Mensah, Arca, Gray), can't recall the team ever having a decent defensive unit. It's presently as poor as it's ever been due to signing freebies who lack quality or consistency or both
 
I actually cant stand the bloke. Its all about defending, has he ever said we are going.to.come out on the front foot and have a go at a side?

No wonder the atmosphere js shit most of the time. No ground is ever rocking when the team theure.supporting is camped behind the ball for most of the game

He needs to go

To the press only bad managers hang their players out to dry.
He's stating he believes in his players.
Nothing wrong with that and players know they can get better.

I can excuse players on certain aspects of the game given the level we’re at, but when footballers fail to do basics right even at this level it’s inexcusable.

IIm not sure the lack of shape is because they’re thick ask fuck or not being coached correctly.

It’s far far better I’d we escape this league this season, otherwise we really do turn into a league one club for the long term.

Agree. Can't bide being in this league.

Last year I was actually looking forward to it. Chase the shite who were milking clb and build again.

We are doing that but need to be out or he goes....but I believe we will and I believe he's the right man...as do the players.

Fingers out and do it....the players that is.
