Bring him in now

I have been to Brentford half a dozen times since they got into the Premier League. (I have a mate who is a season ticket holder) Their new stadium, albeit small with a capacity of 17,250, is brilliantly equipped and the bars are run efficiently. The away fan allocation of 1700 is always sold out as are the home ends. I agree that the opening song of ‘Hey Jude’ is a strange one but the atmosphere is generally pretty good. We should be praising the club for its achievements I reckon.

I know its been done to death on this thread, but it still makes me wonder why MM fails to get the team to play in many games. I accept that he sets them up over defensively but I refuse to accept that he asks them to hoof the ball away at every opportunity and tells them not to shoot or cross the ball when in good positions. I cannot fathom why he allows his teams play with no tempo when in possession, and no energy when closing down the opposition. I find it baffling that he sees his players so often fail to compete for the second ball and win tackles, and does not manage to improve it. Is he watching the same performances as we are? Him saying "we go again" is wearing very thin at the moment. Sort it Mickey!

We don't have any other choice!

No he wouldn’t have.

It’s your fault!

MM has been in charge for 15 games. In that time we have gained 27 points from a possible 45. If we get a similar return from the remaining 16 games, we will end up on 73 points. Will that be enough to get us into the playoffs? Last season Borehamwood finished in 6th place with 72, Bromley one place below in 7th with 71. So it’s doable…

His past CV will be worth squat if he doesn’t sort this out… I’ve gone from: ’in Mellon we trust! ’ to ’in Mellon we trust…I suppose’ to ‘In Mellon we trust?’ to ’Mellon needs to step up and justify our trust’

Really?

Thats what I call “putting a positive spin” on it!

in a nutshell: “we battled - clean sheet - odd time to play - lots to work on - we move on - poor passing - gave ball away cheaply - made wrong decisions” Sort it Mickey, because it’s depressingly familiar and simply not good enough

Garner too similar to Norwood on that showing. How long until Josh Stones can come back in on loan?

Baffling, totally baffling.

I’m going to say it. I’m not sure that I trust Mellon. The football is turgid but what is more worrying is that Mellon doesn’t seem to be able to get this team playing. Another nothing team giving us the runaround.

He has two players he brought in and put them on the bench plus a winger who isn’t even in the squad… I’m baffled to be honest

Our problems this evening go far deeper than that - MM has set us up so poorly that we are looking a very ragged and poor side - shocking stuff this

We’re not playing much football so far…

Three of whom start today, another on the bench and only our captain missing due to suspension…that MM what does he know?

are you @Lee Sinnott in disguise?

What options does the ordinary fan have, when at a game, to express his/her displeasure when witnessing a horror show out on the pitch? Watching the first half against Woking was embarrassing - do the fans just accept it? Maybe, instead of booing, we could adopt the white hankie approach used by Spanish fans? Or turn our backs to the pitch when the players are trooping off? Nah… I may not boo individuals but the team as a whole are fair game…

I’m sure you are right but it does seem strange that, given the opportunity to see the players first hand and in a competitive game, more choose not to

That is somewhat disappointing if Melon did not take the opportunity - was Brabin there?

Hogan suspended… 4-4-2? Hudson Sachdev, Raglan, Hobson, Kitching Dallas, Sheron, Conlon, Lundstram Garner, Norwood Subs Norman, Walker, Fondop, Hammond, McGahey
