Can we get a crossing coach in please, asking for a friend

Bugger. Stream’s back.

Agreed. But unfortunately no matter what he tries, I think that this squad is just not good enough, the summer volume (not quality) of players hyped us all up at the start. Reality is we're average at best, moving rapidly to below average ..and I fear a relegation battle no matter what the new manager brings to the table.

This squad was never meant to challenge for the automatics. This was a summer of a huge squad turnover. Throw the spaghetti at the wall, see what sticks and fill in where needed in subsequent seasons.

No one can deny that this squad is not performing up to their capabilities. As long as we're realistic that this squad, starting where we are now, should consider 12th or higher a huge victory.

Matos wasn't hired to be a miracle worker. He was hired to build a project. His experience with moving young players into 1st team roles is why he's here. I would fully expect us to strengthen the squad in every window we can afford to do so, staying just this side of PSR.

I mean this with all sincerity.

The ONLY thing that could make this worse would be that plank talking about process and how marvellous he is after the game.

You have a real problem with him don’t you…bordering on the unhealthy.

Anyone who thought tonight was going to be anything different is living on another planet. New Manager needs to coach a new way of playing into these guys.

Benson’s hilariously bad

We can’t cross to our players so why is that still the main tactic?

Glad you explained the plan, I was getting a bit worried about things

Thank you for your honesty. I have always found your posts to be insightful and I am sorry we differ on this one point.

That was all bollocks, of course, I am 85 posts from getting my Player Name, so any excuse to bulk up my numbers. In reality I wonder why you and the other miserabilists are still bothering to turn up on here.

I'd rip your hand off for finishing 17th at the moment

Expected more than losing 2-0, looking disjointed, struggling to get the ball off the ground for crosses.

Glad there is a plan, I can rest easy now

 

[El_Pancho]

I hope he comes out and calls it how it is. Poor performance and need to see improvement. If he sugar coats this, it won't go down well

 

[Longlostjack]

Maybe they need a team building night out at Dyfatty flats?

My uncle was a caretaker there when they first opened ! He’d have sorted them out !

Except we have a top 10 outlay and could be 3 points off the drop.. can't score goals, can't stop goals.. and our mentality when conceding is to down tools
