Stainrod Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 But we’ve had lots of ‘this won’t happen again from one of my teams’ speeches which pacify some fans but never amounts to much, Sheridan being an example Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And whether it makes a difference or not, it should be acknowledged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard to see what he could say after that, he makes a rod for his own back with the shite he talks, there is nothing he could say that would appease me after that shitshow last Saturday, I want action now because he's as hollow as a drum at the best of times so what he says has little credence with me, anyone in any doubt should watch his very first interview which is packed with bullshit of the highest order. I really don't think we ask or even expect much as fans but what won't be accepted particularly at our level is a team that isn't brave enough to have a go, have some fucking balls about them and take it to the opposition, he has made some pretty basic promises I think it's about time he started delivering them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worcester Owl Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 (edited) 3 hours ago, True Tic said: I suppose it’s like anything really where you invest time and money , I’m talking more for the poor buggers who travelled to Southend to stay over and then get served up that. In Addition the anticipation and yes expectation that we would be provided with at the very least a reasonable display of football. Then getting on for a week of complete radio silence without so much as a nod from the manager that this Saturday and beyond will be different is odd, to me anyway. No begging on his knees for forgiveness , just yes, we WILL do better for you in future . Your points there are spot on. As you say people spent a lot of time and money on Saturday, added to which the usual new season optimism was boosted by some decent transfer activity over the summer. Unsworth can’t guarantee 3 points v Aldershot, but he could admit that last Saturday was poor and say that at least next time the effort and application will be far better.

Wardie Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 In my mind, the time for apologies and promises was during the post match interview. If they didn't come then, they never will. It will be as usual, with one of the players 'reviewing' the upcoming match and how they are prepared and ready to apply themselves, probably with a brief mention of last Saturday's performance.

Nothing wrong with any of that, I'd of been chomping at the bit having made that journey and all the associated cost's. He'll soon be reminded about it this Saturday if things are even remotely close to being as bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad performance, needs to improve immediately, we can’t lose 2 on trot and be playing catch up, standard last week way below what we expect and need.

That depends on DR and Frank, they seem to have a lot of patience, although that could be tested if the mood on the terraces turns. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Social media is far more extreme than the terraces, I've been vocal on here about Unsworths inability to show any sign of being the right man. But I wouldn't stand on the terraces calling for his head. I'd rather give my support to the team, they need all the help they can get. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
