Relegation? Should We Be Worried?

[Andrew - North Hill]

I didn’t say it was in fairness. Good enough to stay in the league though? I think so.

Ok. With your references to quality and depth, I must have mistaken it for meaning something else.

 

[swansvalleyjack]

Do you think we have one of the three worst squads in the league?

Probably not. But maybe not far off.

Trouble is we don't know if the players full potential is being achieved. And whether they can mesh into an effective team.

Big input by a manager here. Culture as well.

Sheehan was not the man. Time will tell with Matos. But I'm afraid my instincts tell me we have a very average squad, no matter the manager. I hope I'm proved wrong.

Oh dear. Your instincts are clearly from a non-football perspective.

Clear as day that almost all of our new signings are proper players that deserve proper coaching

The massive latent talent needs to now be unshackled from Sheeezy's simple ways

1. Instincts totally from a football perspective. I've been a fan for 50 + years
2. SOME of our new signings are proper players. But sorry not almost ALL.
3. "massive latent talent" - Christ almighty, and those are your instincts

But I really want Matos to bring out the best in everyone, then we'll see what we bought in the Summer.

1. being a fan for 50+ years matters not a jot re football intelligence, clearly
2. all are proper footy players, just need proper coaching, as per
3. my instincts are fact-based, founded upon elite level playing experience and a proper eyeball for the game

We ALL want and expect Vito and his team to unshackle our massive latent talent....watch and learn

F**k me, why on earth did we appoint Vito with you about

 

[sit_down_jack]

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 play for too so it wasn’t just a bunch of beach dwellers. We’ve seen them play better than they currently are

For me it’s confidence, it’s at the lowest it’s ever been. It’s a massive factor in football and we need to give ours a boost desperately.

lols

The thing is, proper Jacks are now fully expecting our new, highly talented young gem of a manager to get the very best tune out of our highly talented wide 'n deep gem of a squad

Sheeezy was a simple hedge to appease fans' simple sentiment

Time to now kick on......back on track

After tonight’s result and a pretty poor performance I think relegation is a very real possibility.

The one positive I can take from tonight is the managers comments in his interview, he sees the same things that we do, there was no BS about stats etc just an honest appraisal about the team’s shortcomings. Let’ hope he can turn this around.

Just watched the highlights today as i was travelling home yesterday so missed the game. Their second goal was awful , Cullen loses possession in the middle of our half, and then Cabango tees up their goalscorer with his clearance. Truly awful awful goal to concede.

If more people just accepted that for the most part we don't have very good players, it would make things a lot easier.

Coventry were 17th , 2 points off relegation spots, when Lampard took over. He's basically had the same players that Robins had ,with one or two additions. Sort out our right side, replace Key and Ronald, get Cullen and Fulton out of the squad and who knows. New manager, January window, with a couple of additions , couple of wins and confidence grows, I'm not giving up yet. Look at the difference in Coventry in 12 months , Simms last year was crap, look at him now under Lampard.
