What's he said?

Getting mad again is he?

 

What did he blame the defeat on tonight? I turned off. Had enough

 

Interesting you highlight 2 poor performances but ignore the other 6 games we've played.

 

At least he was honest.

 

Would demanding better make a difference I very much doubt the 11 on show went out to perform so poorly, we were shown how to play football tonight, they play that system and stick too it and it works, Stuart saying on BBC we went for the diamond and all 11 on show didn't show up, well play a system the players prefer to play, it's not rocket science.
If Stuart wants players to play a certain way then that will not happen over a season we saw that with Parky, he played to the players capability and the following season added more quality, I'd say during Nahki's last season we played that system as good as any team could, I felt a Parkinson's side could always get a result they knew what was required from each and every individual, but as I say it took time, and that's not making excuses for tonight or for Stuart.

 

And that's what Stuart said, not in as many words but he knew his team we were second best on the night.
I think his comment was a 5/10 performance.

 

He had lockdown as well to look at his Ipad.

I heard Apppleton say the spent lock him speaking with PL/Championship clubs doing zoom presentations on why clubs should let their players join them and he worked out what kind of players he needed.

How our squad lacks pace and quality is still has to be on Smc. He just picked up his black book. Lazy recruitment.

 

He had too, otherwise he's deluded

 

The first time i saw Levi Sutton i thought yeah pretty decent.

why was he so cavalier tonight. All over the place and loose with possession. Thinking he was better than he is. A prime example of the differences between the sides and why we were turned over.

Im gonna to say we need a nasty midfielder enforcer in there, nothing flash just a grafter.

 

We have done for years, we have no engine...

 

If that's a taste of what Harrogate play then Weaver will go far in this mamangement lark. They looked a very good outfit, well coached and well drilled. Helps when you out think the opposition manager, makes your players look even better.

 

There was one instance, around the 70 min mark, where our midfield just opened up like the Red Sea, and their player ran fifty metres unchallenged.

Another incident, leading to his yellow card, was Watt faffing about with the ball when there was no support around him and losing possession.

We all say it, we all think it, and we’re all confused by it - McCall was exactly the sort of player we’re missing, so why doesn’t he identify this?

Seems we’re waiting til January before we replace the lost jigsaw pieces.

 

Once again, we’re lacking a left sided player. Novak up top with a three of Evans Clarke and left sided midfielder behind him would work.

 

Pritchard can play there.

 

I hope not - and hopefully that puts Evans off !

 

Usually the underdog manages to raise their game for a cup tie on TV. We weren't able to do that.

 

I would sincerely hope that Weaver is one we're looking at for our next manager role - which I don't think will be long in opening up. Whether we could tempt him, is another matter.

 

He’s been tried and didn’t do much. He showed early promise, but this season he just seems to drift in games. We just don’t have any driving midfielders sadly.

 

Cant disagree with Evans having a tight hamstring at half time it was a good time to change things, through out the game we were second best, most watching the game could see that.

 

@wetherbywhaler is that the cat out of the bag regarding wood and Gillingham? Thought we were told there was nothing in it?
