Where are the happy clappers?

The penny has dropped

 

Or still at the game?

 

There is no defence for this match. We have not turned up yet again. Explain that one away Collins. You are in charge or so you say, what is your justification for this abysmal display? Wycombe are not good, Gary Jones says we were second to the ball all match. They are organised, what an embarrassment!

 

Everyone. I am probably the most optimistic biggest happy clapper on this forum.


But even I am startingto get disappointed with what is happening. The penny has finally dropped.

I cannot simply predict promotion, right now we really do look like a side that could potentially face relegation, I hope I’m wrong, I really really do.

I want us to WIN WIN WIN!!! But it is so topsy turvey at the moment, the club is in serious disarray, I feel like all the hard work done by previous staff has been undone and we are far from a club that can mount a serious promotion challenge.

 

Welcome to planet reality. Many of us have been here for several weeks.

 

It's amazing. You get a coach who isn't even great at managing a bunch of U18's, has absolutely 0 experience coaching a first team side, yet alone a League One side. Yet people are saying "we just need time to gel?" Be my guest and bend over for the rest of the league and say goodbye to 30 points you could've had a shot at if we actually had a REAL manager. I'm sure Collins will turn into Klopp soon don't you worry, a couple more claps and his transformations complete. Automatic by December I'm sure of it.

 

The only thing you can have a go at Edin is hiring Collins as gaffer, hes put the brass in to get a decent squad, the problem is Collins not Edin

 

He is the problem thought @Bill he is the one that hired a coach without the appropriate experience and below par CV!

 

Decent squad? Are you taking the p1ss? Did you see the bench today?

 

If you run a business and get an apprentice to recruit the workforce and set the business strategy you have no credibility.

 

I completely agree but the management team are picking the side and pissing about changing the formation every game, between them they haven’t got a clue, have we stopped a cross this season? Hes still playing chickson and our best full back is dropped. WTF

 

If Collins is the problem and Rahic appointed him, how is that anything other than Rahic's fault? The problem absolutely is Rahic and your logic can only lead to that conclusion.

 

I think its a lot better than last seasons side, not a huge Stuart fan as a gaffer but im sure he would be getting results with what we have currently

 

This is our Hockaday era.

Get used to it.

 

Ultimately yes its down to Edin but my grannies fookin budgie could do a better job than that sack we have atm

 

Well, Collins reckons a setback can sometimes be good. Well here’s another.

 

If you are in charge, you appoint the best manager to do the best job possible. He was cheap, compliant, and knew less that Rahic. Those are the reasons he was appointed, in other words non football related. I have managed staff, I didn’t mind them challenging my decisions and sometimes I would change my mind, that is what confident managers do. Rahic is so pigged headed he wants it his way, and refuses to listen to anybody who says differently. I blame him totally for this debacle!!

 

I take it all back.

We were woeful today. Woeful.

Devoid of ideas. Changed a winning side. Who admittedly were lucky to win but why not get some continuity?

What is our style of play? We look to play direct with no target man and then are hopeless from set pieces. If we are going to play balls into strikers and channels we need to really work hard to get in around them to win the second Balls.

We then got our first real chance to get some men in the box when Payne won a free kick about 40 yards out about 20 minutes in and we passed it sideways again and then back to the keeper.

Payne is totally wasted out wide. Then Wright is not too bad further forward but is never a Center midfielder in all my years. M


Full backs never get over half way line. Riley lost his man for second goal

Akpan looks as though he’s playing with sandals on.

Doyle is never going to score goals charging around the pitch and coming so deep for the ball.

We will be lucky to score 40 goals this season.

Deflated. Collins is out of his depth

 

And to add to that Seedorf. Young kid and put him in the Patrick mould. Not good enough. Too raw.

Give Gibson a go. Some of his crosses were our best chance at the end of the game.

Side is very lopsided in what we’ve signed and how we want to play.

Unsure on McGowan as a centre back personally. Thought Mckail-Smith bullied him
