oafc1955 Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Getting shut of Clarke was probably the single most Contributory factor to our overall demise! I’m pretty certain if he was still here and Captain of this sorry lot we would still have a very good chance of keeping our league status. What an utterly diabolical decision!!!

Selim persisted with the post match on pitch huddle, it was short. In several games this season, the frustration of a handful of players was notable, not least Nicky Adams. Surely there must me some very heated exchanges happening in the changing room, bloody hope so anyway. If Pidge isn't tearing a strip off Jayson Leutwiler for the hopless passing, he has every right to. While the ultimate responsibility and accountability for our needless slide out of league football sits firmly with the owner, if the players are honest, they need to show they care.

On the point of Pidge tearing a strip off Jayson Takeawhiler, Pidge is part of the problem standing too close because as soon as he gets closed down (something we don't do the the opposition) he can only pass it back to the keeper who then has to lump it before he gets closed down. Stupid tactic, throw or kick down field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobledgersheart Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 The problem we have with playing it out from the back is that we don't have a decent midfielder who can spot an accurate pass forward so our defenders just pass it amongst themselves in ever decreasing circles until it has to be lumped forward. Although Harry was one of our better players yesterday his final balls were as bad as anyone elses. As said previously Benny looks lost defensively and should be rested or played as a wingback.

This was highlighted spectacularly time and time again with Whelan yesterday - driving forward great but just couldn’t see the option to release it wide and ended up just running into their defenders. Technically he’s ok on the ball but like the majority of our squad overall, he is woeful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking more of his end pass after a forward break not a 15 yard sideways pass to an unmarked team mate. I do agree he shouldn't have been subbed as he was our only midfielder looking forwards to release the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talking about shambles, why in the post match interview is the interim manager not asked about the tactical shambles of attempting to play out from the back? and how about two banners Aibtaead Abdallah & Tarajue Mo?
