Match Thread Most liked posts in thread: Home v Hartlepool Tues 19 Oct @ 19.45pm (Also on ifollow)

We also got turned with a 2 goal salvo from a 5'8" number 9 who we had on loan 10 years ago.

 

Ouch!

 

We are soft but I’m not sure it’s all on formation they couldn’t even win 50/50s or even 60/40s last night that might help. I hope he doesn’t go down the T & S route and we have about 2 shots a game a rely on a worldie because the football was as bad as Bowyers last season. I’d change personnel before formation or strategy tbh. Start by dropping Watt and bringing Cannavan back in and get a bit more steel through the spine, but it doesn’t mean we can’t attack.

 

Maybe stopping the absurd ice baths might help the players from been stiffs

 

The trouble is the very same players played very well for 75 minutes on Saturday, with exhaustion doing for us in the end.

 

He’s already thrown a few under the bus. I think if it was that he’d have said it. Something else is under the surface

 

Sparks signed Robinson

 

More importantly what's the score?

 

Winston Churchill

 

Perfectly accurate reflection of Turnbull, and precisely why Adams wanted rid

 

Was it at Mansfield where he dropped a simple catch and caught it on the goal line?

 

No.

Its projection this…


Who would be that spineless, that gutless to not sack a manager or head coach who slates them like that.

even in wider society can you imagine a VP or CFO publicly bashing the CEO/Chairman like that - TWICE!?

its just projection he is clearly on about the players, if he was that unhappy with the owner/CEO he’d walk.

 

Looking at what Turnbull brought in, it doesn't seem that unbelievable to me.

That's a different song, the one Buffy was satirising.

 

Ah, sorry, I was looking for one that I knew about with David Crosby anyway.....

 

Have you seen the quotes from Sparks over the previous year and the summer for the signings. Every day it was this is a collect effort we all scout together etc. That I imagine being Turnbull and whoever the manager was then.

if you’re right and it is the players I think Adams underestimated how bad the ones we had were either through recommendations from people already in the club or he didn’t have any takers and had to keep them on

 

My point is he hasn't actually said there are problems behind the scenes, just that (like any club a new manager goes into) there are issues that he has been paid to identify and resolve.

He could be referring to anything, like nutrition or sports science not being up to it, like previous regimes for training, squad contact between matches & training, facilities for players. All of which are just issues he puts into his own way of working but are taking time.

No evidence to suggest he is saying the club has major problems and no evidence to suggest he is having a dig at being miss sold the job as some are saying.

 

Nope. Tis a lie.

 

He's not in the position to dig anyone out. He jumped the gun on pre season form. I mean come on!
