Dave_Og Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 I heard a minor celebrity Everton fan on the radio saying it might be a good thing if they finally went down and regrouped. Be careful what you wish for... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So well done the manager and Fondop, credit when its due. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clifford Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 The idea that dropping Fondop was a disgrace earlier in his reign is laughable. The lad needed oxygen tanks to get into a trot passed 60 mins (still does actually) and i only recall him playing well in the glorious Wrexham home game. Unsworth has done well recently. Worked a plan out for Notts County after a quick turnaround. Bit of luck we win that late. Worked out a very good plan for Dorking Working Mens. You'd think Reid was the next Romario the way people reacted to Saturdays line up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fondop's form was good (5 in 8 as said) despite the teams poor form.

Monty Burns Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 seeing as we are cutting him some slack, l'm concerned by our lack of central midfielders. l expected him to whip out a mega january signing present thing. tbh l expected Alfie McAllamont but l now realise l was being overly optispecific*. l would be prepared to accept Jose* *lm aware this probably is not a word. ** l would probably actually, inadvertently, do a small sex wee.

You’re obviously a lot more lenient than I am. Does he deserve credit for finally moving away from his 5-4-1 after 16 games when it was blatantly clear it didn’t work months ago. And again does he deserve credit for setting them up in a basic 4-4-2 sitting narrow which tbf was not a tactical masterclass v country and very lucky to get a point out of. They’ve had one win v a pt team. I’ll hold judgement yet on if any credit is due on recent formation changes or team selection 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In his first spell with suffered from the same judgement as Pidge did from a certain section of our fanbase - labelled as "shit", when in reality he got involved more than anyone else and didn't hide and in doing so made the odd mistake, when others around him were too scared to. A fully fit Gardner is first name on the team-sheet in from this squad. Unfortunately, he does seem susceptible to injuries now and can't play in the way he used to, which is a shame. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Pidge" was shit more than he was decent for us, his sending off and subsequent renaissance for Stevenage establish him firmly as a pony tailed cunt Gardner was average first time, and past it now Release him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
