Reality is Dean has been dropped on and wish him well in a difficult challenge. A good end to season would be five games to go and mathematically safe and can give young lads a proper pressure free run and fans can relax a bit. Top six is a dream even in this :censored: division.

He's looking a Johnson clone continuing the same negative tip tap football with defenders backing off and poor in the air. I had hoped he would get rid of the previous managers shackles and be more positive, but depleted squad or not the fear factor seems to have got through to the players. There was some signs to change things in the second half and surely he wont play one up front against a Crewe team fair game for conceding goals themselves?

Lose against Crewe and the panic will really set in.

Rochdale are good away, too....

And can you imagine us at Bradford on that pitch, the keeper rolling it out to Dieng...etc And our defenders trying to bully Stead at a set-piece...

Lockwood put Stead in his pocket less than 12 months ago, no reason to think the same cannot happen a week Saturday.

I hope thats the sort of motivation the manager will be giving rather than the statement that we need protect our back four.

With all due respect and I know his heart is in the right place but Holden is pretty clueless...

 

He felt putting brown in midfield on Saturday was the answer to keeping goals out? :censored: it why not put an outfield team of 10 defenders on the pitch...guaranteed clean sheet then ey??? Oh no wait...
