Too easily knocked off the ball, not the midfielder we needed. Edited February 24 by BP1960 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tactically done by a dinosaur like Phil brown. we got pressed and we crumbled. Midfield again does not want to know. We dinosaurs should never be underrated.

aaronoafc Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 15 minutes ago, League one forever said: How many games have we won and fully deserved it? Barnet away. Hartlepool away. Woking away. That’s the only games I’ve thought we played well and won. The other wins have been scrappy/hard fought. As Bosh points out, there are at least 8 horror shows under Mellon. (Several against bottom four sides) I’ll always maintain winning is everything. But the more I watch us under Mellon it’s the same as Unsworth. As in - Mellonball/Rhinoball you have to win otherwise there is zero to get behind. Literally nothing. Spot on. When we win it tends to feel lucky/scrappy. When we lose it’s usually an all time bad performance and some how gets worse a week later. The first thought when a player gets the ball is to either go long aimlessly or take the easy pass back, to which the opposition then press and we end up hoofing it anyway. Rinse and repeat. Our movement off the ball is the worst I’ve ever seen from a side. We don’t press the opposition. We do a half arsed jog at them and it’s always 1 to 1, not as a collective or in packs. Unsworths football was a disgrace but I’d argue Woking, Ebbsfleet, Dorking away and todays performance are as bad as anything he served up if not worse 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would they criticise a man with 5 promotions? Put your signed picture of David Dunn away (pull your pants up) and thank your lucky stars a man of his incredible pedigree is here.

Having said that though- I fancy us to win on Tuesday, and we’ll still be in touch. So for all the woeful performances, overall he does manage to keep us ticking along.

JoeP Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 (edited) Not read thread and am probably repeating points, but going to vent them anyway. Wow. That felt fairly definitive today about our chances of going up with this squad. A few decent results, but there's always an abomination like today in the pipeline. There's a couple there that I would pay-off tomorrow. Lundstram - I just don't see anything about him that earned him rave reviews at Alty. Done nothing since he's been here. Kitching - He used to get up and down the wing when he was full- back. Further forward, he doesn't even want the ball.. I've defended Sheron but goal aside he messed up everything he had to do today. I also don't know what game Mellon was watching. No subs at half-time then takes Fondop off who was actually trying to make things happen (I assume this was because he got booked) and also Hammond who was our best midfielder! Sheron, Conon or Lundstram should've gone before him! Anyway, we won't be getting near 12k again for a while... even for £1. Absolute shithouses. They haven't got the balls for promotion. They should be embarrassed to look in Frank's direction tonight... Edited February 24 by JoeP 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nzlatic Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 The bizarre thing about this league is that everyone else from 2nd to 9th (our current play off rivals) look just as capable of shocking results. So I still see us as having as good a chance as any of those clubs of going up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s not what I was saying though. I’m not suggesting we don’t need to improve because everyone else is shit, that would make no sense. Or that it makes performances like today acceptable. It’s the nature of this league in this particular season. There’s only 1 team in the whole league that look worthy of going up. It’s bizarre.
