Course the pitch looks great. It’s just been seeded and there’s no football being played on it... give it two months and it will be a mess again. Least we will fit in with others in this league.
I thought this kind of mentality would have changed with this new owner... can’t we strive for better? Can’t do any worse. My 8 year old son couldn’t do any worse than wellens.
What’s people’s obsession with this ‘affinity’ with the club?
I couldn’t give a fuck if a manager hated the club as long as he got us promoted.
I want the best man for the job, not someone who ‘cares’.
Wellens had an affinity and look how that turned out.
Placide
Hamer
Wilson
Stott
Hunt
(don’t think we have much choice defensively, Edmundson was shocking last night)
Tope
Byrne
Gardner
Gevaro
(I’m not a fan of tope but he gets up and down the pitch, stays wide and gives us balance)
Doyle
Davies
We fucked wellens off with regards to Shrewsbury. We offered him a contract for a year but withdrew it and offered him 6 months (or something similar, had a few drinks at the wellens night when he spoke about it).
The first time to doncaster he sat down with corney and asked what ambitions was for the season after play offs and corney said there was nothing going into playing squad. And donny came in and offered him more money and better ambition.
His words.
They must have promised him a big budget. He wanted to carry on playing a few months ago... it’s either guna go the way of bury with lee Clark or they are guna push for the top 6 and do really well.
I think it’s cover for full backs that make us concede so many. Wingers or the diamond midfield don’t offer any support. Lots of crosses where goals are coming from.
McLaughlin shouldn’t have started, he’s barely kicked a ball all season and when he has he’s been poor!
Struggling in midfield and once again Gardner has a shocking first half. No balance to the team. Byrne is not a winger and it affects the full backs. I’d be tempted to bring hunt in and push dummigan wide right.
Doyle had no chance today.
Placide is shit.
Wellens needs to sort his tactics and team selection out cause at the min it’s 1 step forward then 3 back.
Defence wasn’t actually the issue on Saturday, it was the midfield. They were nowhere to be seen and the gap between defence and midfield was huge. If Gerrard is fit then I’d imagine it will be same team apart from Doyle for Nazon.
