Match Thread Away V Morecambe Saturday 8th May 2021 @ 3.00pm (with Poll)

Took you a while but please understand I always tell it how it really is.

We start the season with T & S then we won't go up and it highlights the lack of ambition at the club from Rupp and Sparks down.

 

Stop it! My brain can't take it!

 

I mean does a joint management really work in football?

 

Be nice to go young and forward thinking for a change. Someone like Ian Evatt who went to bolton and has built a side from nothing to achieve auto promotion at his first hit. I hope we are scouting out potential new managers

 

Highlight of the day Salford not getting in the play offs.

However, you know they will give it everything next season.

 

I agree entirely, think we approached it all wrong, think we wanted to get through the season spending as little as possible just to get through, hence there was a lot to spend in January and we had to because we were going down...and on the last 10 games would have been also.

 

We create so few chances it's embarrassing. Hard to know whether that's due to how the team is set up and coached, or whether the players are just not good enough. I suspect it's a bit of both. So often in recent games we go backwards because players can't do basic professional football skills like making a simple forward pass with their weaker foot. And the decision making is frequently dire. But I'm finding it difficult to be confident that T&S have the know-how to take us up next season, even with better players.

 

And the sad thing is, someone probably had to give Rupp a nudge and tell him what was going on in January. As long as we've got a disinterested chairman at the helm, we're going nowhere but mid table.

 

For City, though, it was a sixth loss in seven - and they only scored four goals in the final nine games..... how flipping depressing... big clear out including managers and we go again.... if we stick with these guys we will lose any momentum early doors.

 

Did you notice Callum Cooke at the end of the match. As soon as the whistle went he walked straight off the pitch , head down didn’t shake hands with anyone and seemed reluctant to acknowledge Elliot Watt when he tried to make contact. Most strange.

 

I didn't mate no, is Callum out of contract.

 

Here we go Trueman being interviewed.

 

For finishing 8th ?

 

Maybe he feels as pissed off as the rest of us and just wants to get this season over with. I don't blame him for wanting to get off.

 

Sounds like from this interview that they don’t think the squad is good enough. That the current lot gave up after seeing off relegation and that some were protecting themselves for contracts away from the club.

 

Well Jamie is giving Mark a hard time and although I have sympathy for the guy he hardly sounds convincing.

 

Is that what he said? Because up until the last game, they were saying the players were giving them everything.

 

It’s pretty much football cliches 1.0 which is not really surprising.The only difference is McCall used to lose his rag with a similar type of questioning

 

We made a team hard to beat wtf are you on about we've lost 6 of the last 7 and got a draw against bloody Scunthorpe.
