I agree about Ronnie. Sheer class. Plus when he scored, that is the passion that I want to see.
Elsewhere, good character shown through the team. Special mention to Smythy. Played the role well and lent valuable support to RND against their good right winger.
Didn't agree with the subsitutions at all - bringing on two players who are completely out of sorts - both of whom didn't really help the situation at all. I'll put those down to Sports Science.
And Spaceman, yes, take a bow. [Post edited 14 Mar 17:05]

Yeah, I agree. And we are coping with their wingers well, who are both good players. But we are giving their James in the middle of the park, too much time. Alemahyu for Hayden in due course this season please. |

Not another thread questioning his ability - that debate has been flogged to death.
I think Richard needs to be given a game off. There's no way he can play at the level that is needed when he has played every game, often with very little reward to boost his morale.
We need to get the below par and jaded players out of the equation. I know it leaves us short of experience but we need players who are firing right now. |

Good interview and I am behind Jimmy.
Interesting that he alludes to more clarity being needed. If the players are 'honest', as he and JS (repeatedly) say, then something needs to be looked at because it is not manifesting itself onto the pitch.
By clarity I hope he means that more needs to be done in terms of the players buying into and implementing the game plan/effort. From what I saw today several of the players clearly were not 100% committed to the plan/cause and the disconnect rubbed off on others whose standards/performances dropped.
I know we are short of players but the management team need to test all of the players resolves now. I don't care how senior or talented they might be. If they are not 100% committed to the cause now then get them out and put others in their places even if it means we have 4, 5, 6 Devt Squad players out there. |

Kieron Morgan would be doing better if he was playing alongside Field. He's been moved from pillar to post by our Chef. How can he be expected to do well against that Boro defence when he is thrust into an unfamiliar role ? |

2-0 now.
I don't know whether to laugh or cry.
It's like being locked up in a room with the Crankies and unable to escape. |

I think Dunne looks resigned to our fate. After about an hour in games, when games are up, he just tries to hold it together and see that we keep 11 players on the pitch. |

Lots of good points in this thread, particularly from the first time poster. I think it's fair to say that both at boardroom level and at management level mistakes have been made. I can actually sympathise with Nourry to a degree because he is trying to make us more sustainable and to put the foundations in at youth level and build up from there. It is not easy when probably more than two thirds of the division are trying to buy their way to success (the last three teams that we have played being perfect examples of this).
I do agree with the concern regarding Stephan's connection and more importantly his strategy. We need a stronger willed character in the hot seat who will refuse to ply the 'hard-done-by' line in his pressers and demand that we keep pace with the top half teams and find ways to deal with them. The excuses don't rub with me.
Additionally, tactically he is really poor at reacting to what other teams are doing and grinding out results. Once again yesterday the midfield wasn't fit to nullify Boro and it was only a matter of time before they scored 2 or 3 goals. [Post edited 9 Mar 11:55]

I think we have already had this debate.
I'm on the side of Mr Beef. Mr Kone was playing on Hackney Marshes no less than 4 years ago.
He has something but it is going to take time to come through at this level. |

Agree with you on Boro. They must do a lot of ballwork in triangles and small groups, under pressure. That side of their game was very impressive. You do need to have the same players playing though to do that. I imagine they don't have too many injuries. So much harder to try and instigate a passing game when you've got Madsen-Hayden-Dembele- Chair doing it one week, Varane-Smyth-Vale-Morgan the next
etc etc etc |
