Match Thread Most liked posts in thread: Lincoln Carabao Cup

One of the best interviews i've heard, good probing questions and a manager bristling with agression leads to a must listen interview. I thought McCalls views on the first half were spot on, his views on the second were well off. Seems unusually under pressure for so early in the season. Like his passion but seemed way too defensive when questioned about transfers.

 

Simple answer is PL teams see Lincoln on the up, a club with a plan

 

Zero goals in three games. If Stuart says he's happy with the strikers at this club he's taking the piss out of us.

 

the problem is, at the start of every season fans are looking for something to give them optimism for the season ahead.. barring bringing in Watt and Sutton, the squad is made up of players that weren't good enough last season and is arguably weaker than last season's squad. we could all see with performances towards the end of the season that the players weren't good enough. what have the club done to rectify that?

all we have been fed for the past 6 months is how we are active, looking to improve the squad whilst also being told that we're well below the salary cap, that it's a buyer's market as there are over 1400 players out of contract. then the club changed stance and said that it's hard to work within the cap and that "we'll see what crops up."

it's not good enough from top to bottom and that includes Rhodes, Rupp and McCall. the aim of every transfer is to come out of it stronger than the previous one - we haven't and it's clear to see that we're now panicking.. and that's never a good place to be.

 

I'm proud to say WHU can do better than that

 

I still believe this game is going to pens.

Mind you I still believe in Santa, the tooth fairy and that @Fordy117 is a successful businessman.

 

We've been a re-active club since Parky left in June 2016 & have been on the back foot ever since.

 

Wholeheartedly disagree that it was a “shocking interview”. I for one liked the passion that came across. He clearly won’t stand for any more crap.

Some of our fans are very contradictory I have to say. Last year we had people complaining at “bland Bowyer”, and now we have people complaining at a manager showing passion. What do fans want? You can’t have it both ways.

 

McCall properly rattled with those transfer questions.

Sounds to me like he's run out of ideas after his four options turned us down and is now panicking because he knows our three are shite.

 

Maybe changing your back 5 every single match doesn’t work eh?

 

The only silver lining is that this may stop the ridiculously laid back attitude to the obvious strengthening that's needed.

 

Tbf, even if they do now realise, I have zero faith in our competence to identify and recruit quality players.

 

This goes beyond the manager.

 

I'm at the mindset Bowyer didn't know them forwards were coming in.

I think Rhodes and Ryan signed them...Maybe McCall in the background but not Bowyer as it makes no sense.

 

We beat Bolton on the 5th.

 

That back 5 today (french aside) were an absolute disgrace all year last year and some of them the year before. For some ridiculous reason we've kept all of them (likely money) and even made the keeper captain. Its absolutely awful and should be ripped apart now

 

I know I will upset the McCall lovers and especially the Width of a post crowd who love him, but I don’t want to hear our manager telling everyone we were triffic in training and our strikers will all get double figures, it’s totally boll**cks. We need a professional manager like Danny Cowley who I am sure would not have brought Mottley Henry back after releasing him. We’re just wasting time until another inevitable parting. When Bowyer was sacked Nathan Jones was available before he went back to Luton but we have to give Stu another go.
