I remember around 1994 watching us at Southend playing out a 0-0 draw and having literally no attempts on goal .
I've seen us playing for a 0 -2 defeat damage limitation at home to Man Utd under Pulis .
Neither of those are any where near the utter embarrassing cowardly set up this so called manager subjected us to today.
I genuinely loathe the man,I really do.

Definitely settled for the draw again. Complete and utter moron did he really think 0-0 vs Sheff We’d would save his bacon. He burgered it up if that was his thinking |

I was utterly bewildered by the decision to switch to a back three (or five, depending on your view).
I can only assume that he wanted to get two strikers on the pitch?
I brought a friend to the game today and he was confused by how we lacked any urgency in the last fifteen minutes or so. It genuinely looked like the players had settled for a draw.

Neither of those are any where near the utter embarrassing cowardly set up this so called manager subjected us to today. I genuinely loathe the man,I really do. Same here - seeing his face makes me glaze over and have to restrain myself from unleashing a torrent of verbal diarrhea! Today was utter cowardice from the slap-head snake oil salesman, going 5 at the back at home to such an awful side is inexcusable and undefendable, inviting them to attack us, and, inevitably with our shaky defenders, offer them the chance to win the game. It's awful game management, simultaneously removing any threat we had coming forward (admittedly not much to begin with) and changing to a shape that firstly doesn't suit what we have in the building and allows the opposition to pin us in by doubling up on us in wide areas, dragging a midfielder across and a striker back into midfield which allows their defenders time on the ball to push into midfield thus pushing us back towards our own goal. It's awful game management yet again - the third game in a row we have lost in injury time by standing off and trying to hold on for a point. And then wheels out the same tired excuses game after game after game - it's unacceptable and any other club would have flogged him last season after one of the many many limp, insipid home surrenders that we seem to be on the end of every other week. He has to go Monday at the very latest. We stick with the potato any longer then the damage may well be irreversible. At least if we don't dither this time, the new manager will have a few weeks to assess and identify what we need in January, and have extra time to get us drilled both with the ball and behind it and get us fitter. |
