Frankies6 Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 So hopefully Dino will have removed the deadwood from the match squad for the walsall game and we will go on to win the game comfortably..we live in hope. I just wonder which players hes targeting as dead wood in the match day squad ?? He needs to remember his excuses for not winning games will start to wear thin with the supporters and then Al and Mo ... so nothing short of a win on Tuesday will do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Says it like it is and it's "bad management", says their all decent and he's taking us fans for mugs and is in cahoots with the Lensagams! Good! I'm glad he's said they're all shit! No other manager has had the balls to say it, in spite of it being obvious to the world and his wife (but not the Lensagams and Owen, obviously..)! In the shake-up, I doubt it's really going to make a difference to where we finish in the league. If his quote doesn't get the players to have a long hard look at themselves, then nothing will. They've literally been plucked from nowhere and are the most fortunate footballers on the planet, I would guess. Professionals in attitude and ability, my arse..

Funnily enough, it was around about the start of the fabulous football days - Bunny arrived and became a great target man and the team gelled almost immediately and we never looked back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a win would be optimistic, realtisically. But a good account of ourselves, some significant changes besides Maouche's enforced one, and signs the players have listened to Dino and by default Mo & Al sidelined. I can't be the only one not expecting it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have too many players that didn't get a full pre season under their belt.For those that got a full pre season, the holiday camp in Morocco was just a PR exercise for the owner and did nothing for fitness levels.It also wasn't the choice of the coach.No wonder we are now struggling with fitness levels compared to other teams.

They must feel that they are constantly on the naughty step. If they have disaffected senior professionals moping about every day it can't be good for their morale or development. Think it depends on the professional. For example Chris O Grady was great when he was with them and did everything he could to use his experience to help the youth players in their development. Granted though not every pro would use this to help the next generation of players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisRichard Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 I like Dino's honesty. I think he's going the be a handful for the Lemmys but I think his task to clear down the squad is going to be thankless. I've been trying to rationalise who we realistically would get interest from who would be considered to be 'deadwood'. Maouche possibly would draw interest through Lemmys links to the UAE and the teams over there. They got him the Oldham gig, they probably won't find it that hard to do the same over there. Nepo, as much as he's one of our better players, I think it's clear the owners want him gone and I think he's saleable. Eagles hasn't really done much and unless he starts being played and does well, he must command a bit of a wage and would be not too difficult to shift due to him being a 'name'. Other than that, the rest of the squad 'deadwood' would be difficult to shift. The likes of Vera, Sefil, Branger, Kokos, Gonzales, nobody knows of them or would want to sign them at our level or arguably lower and I wouldn't want to give them game time to be out in the 'shop window' as I fear they are nowhere near good enough. I suppose they wouldn't command a massive wage but would the owners be willing to pay off or even afford to do so to free up squad space? The final issue is going to be if Dino can convince Mo and AL that thier players that they have brought in ARE the deadwood. Going off previous form, that is going to be the decisive problem. Clearly the inner circle feel their recruitment policy is 'good enough' as seen in the fourm. My concern would then be if they decide the 'deadwood' is actually the players I consider to be the fabric that is straining to keep the squad respectable such as your Wheaters, Phil Morris', Hamers, Smiths, Stotts or anyone with value or potential. I just hope they don't dip thier toes into that asset stripping pool. Good luck to the man, though. I just hope he gets those transfer windows he is after.

Therefore they've got to put up with his outburts. Either way he's a ticking PR time bomb for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
