His hold up play and footwork was top notch. Good first touch on him aswell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

World Cup groups last 4 and a half hours...managers then get sacked or not. Singes stats cover 14 games but because they don't match a preferred narrative they are rubbished.

yarddog73 Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Getting back to the match today I'd be interested in peoples thoughts (preferably from someone who attended) on how Clarke performed, I notice he was subbed which happens rarely, was this a tactical change or because of a poor performance?

He played ok but was painfully slow. More than once he had a couple of yards start and lost out. Plenty of blocks and good in the air but soooo slow. Didn't understand the substitution though; couldn't see what that could add at that stage of the game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That may have been the case in your day. Although most people did 3 A-levels. It changed to a module based system in 2002 (17+ age) (technically 2000). I don’t think it has changed back but it may have done. If you are going to choose a strange metaphor, at least get it right.

mikejh45 Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Things I learnt from yesterday: 1) Tope is not a winger. 2) Menig is not a winger 3) Genero is a winger and caused more problems in his cameo than the other two put together. 4) We've lost the art of man marking. I saw very early on that the Southend nr.9 was troubling Clarke so why not put Bryan shadowing him. 5) Davies has played into his early 30's without understanding the offside rule. 6) Fane is our most important player.

Sounded like it was just going to one of those days with the chances we had/missed penalty and all its a shame because these last three games could have propelled us right up the table if they were wins..oh we'll let's hope the lads chalk it off. Roll on next week well done to all those who made the rip too, heard you on the BBC manc commentary. Keep it up we have some long road trips ahead for the next fpcouple of months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep that is the point.... an 18 year old wanting to read medicine will as you know require 3 As .....if he/she has one bad/unlucky 3 hour exam and finishes up with C in chemistry for example he/she won't be reading Medicine the following October. That 3 hour exam for that student is potentially life changing but on here we blithely dismiss a football manager's results over 14 games as not indicative of anything. ....a strange world Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ritchierich Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 We were really poor yesterday, very little to be positive about and just have to write it off as a very bad day at the office we just couldn’t cope with Southend, they were a bit quicker and stronger in every department and we helped them by giving away a pathetic penalty after shamoblic defending and then blasting our own penalty straight at the keeper Davis and Doyle weren’t really in the game again and I’m afraid Clarke at the back with Bryan and our two fullbacks looks very unsteady....things were better with Gerrard last week in terms of organisation Dummigan once again had an absolute mare defending but our tactics and personnel leave him horribly exposed. Fans battled hard but is a limited footballer so when Byrne and Gardner struggle, as they did yesterday, we get overrun easily. A long way to go but if performance levels slip to this we could easily be dragged back into a real relegation scrap. Sad that a season that promised so much may now be effectively over if we lose on Tuesday but we have got a few decent players at least until January so need to push on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corney has already demonstrated that results in big games don't count towards a manager's job security. Likewise he has demonstrated a willingness to give manager's out of their depth time. Neither of which apply to Wellens Wellens' results over 14 games, although technically it is less than that as by appointing him he restarted the clock, don't matter. The results over 6 / 7 months do. If we are languishing in the relegation zone in a few months Wellens will be gone. It doesn't matter if Wellens overall record in that time would be mid-table.

Exactly....the longer the period of assessment and the more evidence there is from from tests the better the chances of a fairer judgement.?
