It definitely isn't part of his job. Silly idea He'll get his wish very soon, as there won't be any fan's giving up their time and money to support his nonsense.

And this new keeper appears on the bench again. Was he not allowed to play in the FA competition? I bet Letweiller is pissed off saving 3 pens then completely dropped. Keeper was cup tied but why we signed him at all is a mystery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBigDog Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 7 hours ago, yarddog73 said: Out of those that started today only Kitching, Nuttall and Reid come out with any sort of credit the rest just weren't good enough and in some cases embarrassing I also thought that Clarke worked hard second half and made some decent blocks to keep the score down. Unsworth’s approach just baffles me… He brings in Reid, who scored 7 for Solihull, and then plays him on his own up front, invariably bringing him off after 60/70 minutes - is it any wonder the lad looks despondent and hasn’t scored yet? And to add to that, after taking him off, the manager then switches to two up front… And furthermore, when a decent central striking partner in Nuttall finally arrives on the pitch, he sticks Reid on the bench… He brings in Rooney, plays him in a defensive midfield role and then relegates him to the bench to become a bit part player. He brings in two midfielders in Peck and Chapman, who have shown that they are not right for this league, while sending one of our own out on loan… He sets the team up with 5 at the back when the evidence, from his previous attempts to play this way, has shown that it does not work with the players he has. He plays Maynard as the spare man of the five and the lad just looks lost and confused as to his role. Frankly it seems to me that he OVER coaches the players to the point where they are scared to play - no wonder so many just get rid of the ball when under the slightest pressure. And as for closing down the opposition… we look like a bunch of kids against the big boys. Teams simply play around and through us. I accept that we were up against the League Leaders but it was embarrassingly bad yesterday. It’s now 9 from 39 in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I worked for Jimmy Sirrel, great guy who knew exactly what he wanted from his team, built on strong players with a competitive mentality to match. Tactics were the same every game whoever the opposition, let them deal with us was his motto. Nothing like we saw yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defence and midfield needs complete overhaul - we've got good options up front but the rest of the team just isn't right. Still happy to let the board make the decision around the manager - the toxicity on here and the hashtag is worse than anytime under ALMO and must be making a bad situation worse. A win on Sunday and everything changes - bad loss and maybe Clarke steps into the role with Ebrell and Jeffers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No No No No No. IF we are really going to stay on the six month hire and fire merry go down then we get a proper manager. Not somebody who is on loan for a few more weeks, registered with another club which had him in the team and only let him leave on loan for 'personal reasons'. tell me how often he has spoken of his wish to hang up his boots and also how many coaching badges he is eagerly earning.. shockingly poor idea.

Sloshed Joe Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Squad morale must be pretty low. We’ve had relatives of players (Windass / Vaughan) tweeting & expressing frustration at the lack of opportunities. Abraham, Fondop & Reid messed around a bit & must be frustrated. Quite a few loan players (and maybe even their clubs) will be a bit puzzled (Wellens / Okabue etc) We’ve brought in a lot of players but not found homes for the unwanted squad members. So training must be a real cheery place with the likes of Cooper, Burgess, J.Clarke, Stobbs looking at the current crop and arguably performing even worse than they did. We talk about the first half of Wrexham (h) being the best we’ve played all season. Only 3 players from that starting 11 are still regular starters. Unsworth is clearly struggling in his managerial role and I wonder how much input he is having when it comes to recruitment as he seems unprepared for how to piece his new team together.

Just a thought @Monty Burns and not my preference at all but if he did step in as interim or whatever then he'd be permanent here rather than on loan. Interesting listening to Stephen Warnock talking on Sky about u18/u21 managers not being able to react quickly enough during games to make changes.
