I do believe he is talking about the CEO, the owner and the dancers

Fordy117 · Oct 19, 2021

@Bigrod and @Bronco now do you understand why the Newport point wasn’t a good one? We are not good enough to be thinking we can win our next home match.

So 2 points from 9.

Foghornleghorn · Oct 19, 2021

New seats,Kiosk refurbishments and New dugouts ect don't score goals.
I'd much prefer watching a team that can enhance my match day experience by winning games of football not the above.

It could be the point that keeps us up so stop bleating on about it as something bad. Be thankful we got the point!

I won’t change my view. A point against Newport away was decent. Tonight and last Saturday results weren’t.
I think it is best that l remind you what l said before the Bristol game.
My position remains the same, win at home, draw away and you get promotion.

Bigrod said: ↑

Well home game, against a team in the bottom third. If we are serious about gaining promotion, then this is a ‘must win’ game. Not just a win, but one that starts to improve our goal difference. I think this is crucial. Over the last two games we have managed to put some points on the board, but have looked far from convincing. Time for Adams and the players to step up.

The team has failed.
The final whistle against Forest Green could in effect see our season over!

Sparks is busy commenting on speedway on twitter. Something else he knows shit all about. I've given him the benefit of doubt until know, but finally realised he is just a fraud with no idea how to run a football club.

It's not really his fault he's the Michael Collins of CEO's everyone thinks they can do the big job til they get it

Sadly yet another cheap appointment backfiring Sparks should step down and Rupp should be in the office on Monday deciding what he wants to do with his investment

It may seem the most obvious explanation but until he says so, people will just continue speculating and the rumour mill will be rife. Its not helpful to anyone to play these games.

If he is talking about recruitment then the players will start to down tools.

He’s talking about the shite owner and shite CEO.

Where do I start with today’s performance?

Well……

Now that the positives are out of the way with we can get onto the negatives

What the actual feck was that performance?
Conceding within 50 seconds
No Urgency, No desire, No commitment

We had 5 midfielders on the pitch today. Makes it even more ironic that we had no midfield in that game whatsoever. Just punt the ball up field an hope for the best.

O’Donnell is the usual scape goat but besides the first goal we can’t really be faulted for that performance, There were bigger culprits involved.

Therkeld - Never seen a full back who doesn’t look anything like a full back. Cant defend, Shocking positioning, Abysmal ball control, fecking useless at crossing a ball. What actual good is he? He was being outshone by Foulds on the opposite flank who isn’t even a fullback. You could see that he wasn’t comfortable in that position yet he still played better than our “experienced” right back

Songo is actually a good player. Covers for a lot of the feck ups his defensive counterparts make. Very unlucky with the own goal.

I really don’t see the Favouritism amongst fans for Paudie. Hes a btec McCardle, an thats putting things lightly. He’s so bleeding slow its appalling, an makes you wonder what the feck the full backs were doing for allowing their team mate to be left isolated so many times when Hartlepool countered.

As for the midfield, Sutton showed a bit of desire, but looked off the pace, as did the rest of the team.

Watt - I think we’re seeing a repeat of the Connor Wood situation we had recently. A player with potential an experience but he’s clearly had his head turned. What the feck is up with all these hollywood esq passes hes making? just keep it simple ffs. I wont be suprised if hes off in January tbh, Wont complain either. He doesn’t fit this system an imo songo an sutton would compliment one another a lot better in terms of a midfield partnership

Cooke - If he’s not having a good day, we’re fecked. Poor delivieries most of the game, Albeit he kept things simple an the team somewhat ticking. Needs cover when he gets injured.

Vernham - Didnt link with Foulds at all. Neither are to blame for that. He didnt have many chances that game but at least tried to make things happen

Cook - He’s a poacher being deployed as a target man. I feel sorry for him, no wonder he’s been off the pace since august.

Saved the Biggest culprit in my opinion for last

Gilliead - What is he? Like really? what is he of use to in this team?
Hes not a traditional winger, cus if he was he would be able to take a man on from time to time an get a ball in the box. He cant do that

Hes not a inverted winger, he couldn’t hit a barn door with a bazooka. Not that hes ever in a place to score goals anyways

Hes not an attacking midfielder who links the midfield an the attack. He’s neither astute enough to get in the right attacking positions, nor is he capable of threading through defence opening passes.

He spent all game on the field an did the equivalent of jack shit. What is his actual position? because from that game he looked like the wandering jew for 90 minutes

all in all. Shocking. Plenty of blame to go around. The players for being a bunch of lazy entitled bastards. The management for persisting with such god awful tactics an the CEO for not giving the management the right tools to work with

January couldn’t come soon enough

Has a manager ever said such a bold statement twice about the ceo and owner and NOT got the sack?

I do not think sparks is spineless. If he did tell him not to say those things again and then say them again he would already be out the door.

Its just common sense.

Didn’t we get rid of the man responsible for that? If that’s the issue then he can say we were let down by recruitment but he will sort it out now?
He hasn’t said that. He’s talking nonsense and running out of things to blame at the minute

Wed be better off sticking any outfield player in Gillieads position yet Adams seems stubborn to change. This team is carrying certain players and when you have two strikers on the bench, regardless of how much your managers seems to forget about them, you have to play one of them.

I had a 'guest' sat with me last night who had only seen us once this season. Halfway through the first half he turned to me and said which position is our number 11 supposed to be playing and what does he do apart from drifting aimlessly around the pitch. I said I haven't a clue, but he should be nowhere near the first team squad that's for sure

I agree with you that Gillead needs dropping and any player taking his place won't be any worse, but the problem is that it's very likely they won't be any better either. Look at Rovers on Saturday, awful in the first half and made us look better than we think we are, but they had players on the bench that came on in the second half and made a difference. We just don't have that. Have we actually ever made a change this season that has had a positive impact on the game?
