Letting in easy goals and creating very little not a good combination.
Early days but the signs are not good at all. |
Creating little?
I disagree with you there J.
We created enough to win that game today, it was mistakes at the back and not making substitutions earlier that cost us today. |  | | |

I know. We just seem to have them too often! This would be our third or fourth since relegation.
I thought Duff would do well. He’s proving me wrong so far. |
yeah got to start calling it out for what it is, a poor start. Instead of harping on about the last fella who seems to be doing OK at Soton so he can't be all bad. whether he, cooper or potter were demons or the messiah the reality is they were all rebuilding something then passing on for the next one to rebuild. and rebuilding at this level has to happen quickly. |  | | |

I haven’t heard the press conference. Did he blame Martin again? | | | |

Amen to that |
Can't get much worse 2 points out of 12 and not 1 good performance if we are honest.
C- Is generous D is closer to the mark. | |

no idea, been out all day, I was referencing the white noise on here.
my analysis doesn't tend to be partic deep but I found our first 2 performances ponderous and I'm waiting to get a sense of what the new direction of travel is.
the issue we will also now have to obfuscate will be the sell of piroe so everyone who was excited about us doing transfer business early will no doubt be shouting about the owners again.
with them, as long as they don't ruin us off the pitch I can't get too worked up even if their ambition does not match the fans, jenkins did sell us a bit of a duff on that score, but all water under the bridge now. | | | |

It is a huge week ahead for Watson and our half a dozen owners.
The squad needs improving.
We are becoming less attractive to loan players due to our poor start. | | | |

Fair enough. I interpreted your previous post as Duff harping on about the previous fella. Didn’t realise you meant fans on here. | | | |

Half a dozen owners and the rest, we got more hangers on than there are apples on a tree  [Post edited 27 Aug 2023 10:41]

The reality is they will all be expecting a 'wedge' for their investment. [Post edited 27 Aug 2023 9:52]

Midfield needs sorting, there's no balance in there, Grimes, Fulton and Joey are all very similar in their play, need a player in there who can get the best out of the youngsters who have come in, there's also a drastic need for pace in several area's of the first 11, 13 even! |  |

Dropping Grimes to the bench will,imo,be a revelation.
He has always been selected no matter what and everything goes through him.
It’s actually not fair on him | |

He won't be dropped after signing a new contract, we need to work the others around him. |  |

I agree, they didn't up their game we coasted too long and duff didn't change it early enough.
Massive positive way lola the Ukrainian, made two good chances our of fire pipes all, when he gets upto speed we have a great attacking option.

They changed their formation, and Duff did nothing to counteract it - and we're not good enough to coast games when we're only 1 goal up. |  |

Think most of us think something is wrong with the team at the moment whether it be a lack of fluidity, poor defending, unbalanced, think Duff can see most of the problem but how does he counter those problems. Is he able to use Allen's undoubted influence and experience which he seems reluctant to do so but who know the extent of Allen's injury issues, Key is playing out of position but seems to keep his performance high in relation to the team, if we start using our left foot players where would you move Key,.
Not right yet, hope things can progress favorable soon. | | | |

Scary really, I'm quite surprised that duff didn't counteract the change, someone posted earlier that cullen was signalling to duff about the change and key was struggling on his own but duff did nothing. | | | |

It was in the review this morning, it was very evident. Wood was doing the same. | |
