As someone here has mentioned, with more crosses attempted, why the fck isn't Vipo on ? I've got no confidence in him, but it's supposedly what he wants.
I stated a month ago, I couldn't see where our next point would come from. We have had it gents.

The customery goal conceded either side of half time!

The one silver lining is that the games won't be televised next season in league 1

We probably need around three wins and a couple of draws. Should be entirely doable with the games we’ve got left to play but I wouldn’t have confidence in us beating Forest Green the way we’ve been playing recently let alone three Championship sides.

Fulton hasn’t showed once to offer the centre halves an option when they are loooking for an out ball. The only option we are left with is to pass to wing backs with a player up their arse or hoof it long

Just loafing around in midfield

 

[CygnusX1]

A few more years of this and we’ll be hiring a pitch down Cwrt Herbert to play on. At least the surface will be better.

 

[Nocountryforoldjack]

This could end up 4/5-0

We are fucked. The club has quite literally imploded, absolutely no quality in any position, no possession, no skill, no fight, no hope.

Thank God Matthew Grimes has gone otherwise we’d be really, really bad, apparently.

We're only losing 2 nil so that's an improvement

 

[Swanjaxs]

If Coleman fails to dismiss Williams after this, then I suggest Coleman is our biggest concern.

He already is our biggest concern

Right, we could end up losing 3-0, 4-0, heck even 5-1 with him out of the side...

 

[Pegojack]

Well, I had to be here to see it for myself. Their confidence is shot to shit, Franco is having a mare, there's no game plan, no desire to get the ball up the field.
Sign some players, Coleman, or we're down.

 

[bakajack]

When we needed continuity to help breed some confidence into the players Williams instead pulls off this 5-3-2 shit

We have never had the players for it before and we definitely don't have it now. Playing out of position:

A full back in centre half
Fulton as a footballer
A right winger as a striker / left winger
A number 10 as a false 9

Fulton has proven definitely that he CANNOT operate as a CDM. He never shows for the ball, has no assurance on his touch and no eye for a pass let alone the ability to execute it.

As a result we end up shaping something like this:

--------------------------- Vigouroux --------------------------
----- Christie ------------- Cabango --------- Delcroix --------
Key ----------------------------------------------------- Tymon
------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------- Fulton ----------- Franco ------------------
Ronald -------------------- Cullen ------------------- Bianchini
------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------

No out ball for the full backs into the middle and no target man up front with three players who are all not what you would call dominant in the air. Yes the goals conceded were again down to individual errors (Christie for the first and Franco for the second) but the lack of a platform to build from is entirely down to Williams.

To add to that Franco is right footed so putting him on the left is always putting him on his wrong foot if you are looking at him to create anything or provide distribution.

I know that sometimes when what you have done before isn't working you feel obligated to do ANYTHING instead of nothing, but to go with this shape when knives are already out for you and the players have no experience playing this formation was always asking for trouble and he has gotten exactly what he has deserved.

That means we need a positive result 1 in every 3 games from here in.
Really.

We were looking half tidy in the first few months of the season (in my opinion).
We look like we’d struggle in League 2 now.
Sad mun. Watson’s Window has well and truly fucked us.
