TheBigDog Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 The starting eleven and the second half performance confirmed for me that Unsworth really does not have a clue. He simply isn’t good enough and needs to go. it’s time, Dave, it’s time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flemboy Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 Just listened to his post match excuses.The man is totally deluded and is not watching what the rest of us see. Please Frank stop supporting this clown.While I appreciate your loyalty this imposter will loose a lot of the goodwill built up.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old codger Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 Having watched all 90 odd minutes Rhino must have been somewhere else - the land of delusion. It isn't going for us because he doesn't have a clue. The second substitution made it clear to all as the team didn't then know what formation they should be in but settled on 4 2 4. What manager in his right mind has four strikers and a defender as his substitutes. Piss poor. We are going nowhere. well I hope we are going nowhere because down is looking a probability. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hollandspies Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 Rhino simply conceded his own tactical ineptitude at 2pm today by naming 4 strikers as subs. No thought process required there, other than to use a couple of them to give us some fresh legs up top as the game wore on. On such a hot day, starting Norwood up top on his own was naive and amateurish. Maybe Hope and, or Tollitt could have offered us something different but it would seem that he took the easy way out because he’s simply not tactically savvy enough to make these strategic calls. As a result of this, only 2 subs were made and it ended up looking like we were playing a 4-2-4. Totally bizarre IMO. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well at least most on here if not all have finally smelt the coffee and accept that El Supremo has to go. I also feel some of his players have to accept that they should be doing better. Another thing which makes me sad is that our official coach which I've used to go to away games has now decided to end due to diminished numbers going. I do hope sooner than later they put one back on.For a club with over 6000 home fans this is poor.Even Dorking put on a coach and I see Frank treated them to a pie and pint.What a great gesture as indeed was Marc Whites to us last season 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only time we controlled the ball was first half with that formation of 1 proper striker. It didn't matter it was hot because we weren't really pressing them with Norwood, midfield was doing the pressing. Tollit ruined it for himself with his Halifax performance. He was awful. No idea where Hope is. We should have walked all over them today 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't have changed much if anything on that What I didn’t understand was that last week, with a pretty much the same starting line up, we pressed from the outset. Harrying their defence from goal kicks etc Yesterday, when it was clear that Dorking’s keeper and defence weren’t comfortable on the ball, we stood off! It’s this tactical inconsistency , errors in fact, that has helped push me to believing he has to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there is nowt really to suggest it will. Even the run last year wasn’t great performance wise.

It’s this tactical inconsistency , errors in fact, that has helped push me to believing he has to go. The not pressing as much made sense in the heat. Especially when they just continued to give us the ball back in midfield. It's what we didn't do with the ball after we got it 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaticsPete Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 I get the heat bit but pressing for say the first 15/20 mins could well have brought a goal - and then it would have been the opportunity to be a little more conservative, whilst knowing that Dorking would open up more in chasing the game. It was a lack of bravery- caution is his default and his downfall. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longtimeblue Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 The plan was commendable. Give time to a bloke to do a full rebuild. There was logic and it's a shame it hasn't worked. Unfortunately, they've backed the wrong horse. It's time to cut our losses. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanMarshall's Mullet Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 I too thought the bench was a strange choice and assumed perhaps he's trying to get Tollitt and Hope out to bring someone else in. Couldn't think of any other reason. Bringing Fondop on did improve it slightly but I thought taking Gardner off for Willoughby made us worse. I was going to reserve judgement on Unsworth till 10 games but I can't see anything changing in the next 2 to make me think he's the right man. We are simply miles off the standard we need to be and in my opinion there is little or no improvement to the team with the new signings. Lundstram isn't going to affect it that much. We're just a poor team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a start Frank's been clear and consistent from the minute he walked in the door that he's entrusting others with these matters. He's the figurehead and financier and whilst he could of course pull rank it's still not quite so bad that he should abandon his model and do so. Darren though should certainly be tabling the notion that it's time to cut our losses. We're losing ground fast and deservedly so. Even if Unsworth has another purple patch, the knives will quickly be out again once it fizzles out (which you have to think it will given his body of work). Unsworth has rightly highlighted the need to stick together but unfortunately that now looks beyond him, short of an extraordinary turnaround.
