Idah aside, we haven’t signed anyone that has scored near that amount of goals recently. Wouldn’t say no.

Speaks excellently and has identified a lot of our problems, just needs to prove he can execute his plan now. We have to get him his back room staff as quickly as we can. Squad realistically has enough in it to avoid relegation.

Eternal optimist I see😂

My issue with people saying we have bad players or that they aren’t good enough is the fact that we looked like the worst side in the league under Williams until Sheehan came in and won 5 in a row. Most of these players didn’t do too badly then. Those games were against sides with something to...

Slightly more optimistic for this weekend than the two home games after. Our home record is awful, we’ve got more results away from home this season. Probably be good for the players to not have the booing so intense as well.

The one thing about last night that will serve us well going forward is that Matos now understands clearly, the extent of the job he has on his hands. The goal was very poor but I thought we were the more convincing team in the first half. Thinking about it we were better than Bristol City...

Trying to be a bit optimistic here - we finished 11th last season with not far off the same players. Darling and O’Brien the only exceptions and Darling is below us in the league. LOB was important but surely not the difference between 11th and relegation? I don’t know, grasping at straws…

It’s funny because what he describes are basic patterns of play

I’ve started to question Gorringe recently too. I think he has a shrewd business mind as proven by his appearance on that podcast, he came across excellently and is clearly good at the commercial side of things. Football decisions are an entirely different matter though. If you ask me, we...

I agree, I wasn’t sure about him playing as a 6 by himself but I thought he played very well tonight, dropped into the space above our defence, took the ball well, didn’t shy away from anything. I didn’t want him to come off. Shout for Eom as well who I thought was very bright all game, didn’t...

Yeah, this definitely wasn’t done purely on the data, I think Gorringe said the data across his 12 games got him on the initial short list but he impressed in the later rounds of interviews. Wouldn’t surprise me if it was an initial recommendation because it seems strange that data across 12...

Not going to take that as a typical Matos performance, had no time with the players and doesn’t even have his coaching staff. Better first half, poor goal conceded and same old in the second half from us. Our only morsel of optimism is that it’s the end of November and there is plenty of time...

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying it’s going to be a revolution but the way we’ve been playing of late can’t be that difficult to improve on, even in a couple of training sessions. I think back to Sheehan’s first game in his second stint, beat Blackburn 3-0, it was night and day compared to...

We have to see a better performance tonight and pick up a point or three. If he gets us a few wins in the next 4 games, the mood will shift. Good luck Mr Matos!

Inoussa needs a run of games for me. He got those two assists when he was beginning to start games consistently, there’s good delivery there and some ability to beat a man. Get him starting every game mun.
