Bring in a new left winger put Scannell on the right and a new CM for AO’C and I agree.

 

Think you may have misunderstood me? Or maybe you think my opinion is too pessimistic? I think the current squad will finish anywhere between 15th and 24th. If we strengthen that midfield by the summer window closes, we can reverse that, but it’s not looking good yet

 

Yeah, that’s why I believed you had misunderstood me as I knew we were signing from the same hymn sheet.

 

I don't like Doyle RT but the Liverpool game gave me an idea it could happen.

 

@trevor I agree with you..

 

Suspect tactics today, Donaldson is a good target man so play to his strengths and get it to him in the box ...performance a bit all over the place and disjointed and not keen on passing out from the back esp when centre midfield appears bang average and we lack width, pointless.

 

Pinning our hopes on Zeshi Isheamale?

 

The further wide you push Gibson the less effective he becomes. He's not really a wide player who puts crosses in, spent most of today looking for passes that were never on. Some good tackles though.

 

Generally yes, but don’t think it adds owt, this is league 2, just get it in the box.

 

Can't help but think (hope) it's very early days yet but considering he has had 5months to formulate a plan to hit the ground running he failed miserably When he was appointed in March we were finished as a L1 club no transfer window and the worst set of players in many a long year so his thoughts were focused on how to get us out of L2 I know what he did at Blackpool (I once ran 100m in 30 seconds but couldn't do it now) but it's his current management I am bothered about Maybe we are questioning him prematurely but another couple of games without a win/performance will raise serious doubts

 

In what way?

 

No width - we knew this with no left winger in the club or even fit yet (Ismail May play there to cut in)?

It’s game one. I was hoping the season would start last week. Now I wish we could go back to pre season. Panic stations already

 

Maybe not, but the performances are an indicator. I was at Shrewsbury last season with my son and we walked away wondering how we had got a point, never mind all 3. We were dire and even then, it looked a season of struggles.

Not saying this will be the same, but if we don’t bring in 2-3 quality players in the next few weeks, we won’t be anywhere near the POs come May

 

We did nothing with any of them?!

 

Can I just point out that it was YOU that said you think you’d get called a happy clapper before anyone (I) did. Didn’t actually see that comment until now, but you were right, it was rose-tinted stuff.

 

For most of the first half we controlled the game, so yes we strung more than two passes together

Did you seriously expect to be able to judge how our season will go after the opening game? When has that ever happened in football?

 

Doesn’t make his point invalid though. There was nothing on the pitch or stood in the technical area to suggest we will get promoted. He didn’t say that won’t change between now and September, but based on today, he’s right...!

 

You are geniunely very boring, won't be long till you're banned I imagine.

 

Why? For forming a different opinion to you? Give it a rest...!

 

That will be because, although I don’t entirely agree with them, I do see where they are coming from and won’t just shoot them down as others have tried to do.

What makes me laugh is that we all claim to be happy for people to have their own opinions, but then get totally defensive if they think those views are OTT.

Anyway, as you say, nothing new to add so let’s leave it there.
