For what's it worth...

I don't want to see DC sacked. We have a bunch of pathetic losers who don't give a ****. One example from the second half was in the 76th minute when the ball went over towards the East Stand and the Leyton Orient player should never have got there before our player but guess what our player couldn't be arsed to get over there and win the ball. The mentality of these players is all wrong.
There's no excuses for lack of effort. We have assembled an unbalanced squad and the owners need to task full responsibility for that.

Also when is a players going to take responsibility on the pitch and start organising things? We have players all looking at each other like it is someone else's job.

 

Just out of interest, who was captain today?

Just looked, it was De Gevigney. I wonder how good his English is?

 

I mentioned that incident in the main thread, it was Humphys who was closest and did t even pretend to run for the ball, I went home after that because they clearly were not trying.

 

That was Humphrys. Who Clarke picks every week. Who was showing the same lack of effort from the first minute. Who should have been the first candidate for substitution. But Clarke took off McCarthy and Craig, both of whom were trying, and hadn't really done anything wrong, which is one of the reasons they were both so upset and a perfect example of why Clarke is such a poor manager.

 

Its the head coaches job to make sure the players are up for it or **** them off out of the door not keep picking them week after week. Yes we have poor players but we also have a coach out of his depth and it shows.

 

His English is excellent in interviews. But it's very different speaking your second language in a normal conversation, and shouting out encouragement and instructions, some of them presumably quite technical, while in a high-pressure situation.

 

How can he do that given the contracts handed out by those above him? You make it sound so simple that he can just bin these useless fuckers off. We're stuck with them.

 

Clarke is doing himself no favours, I do get that but I would also give more time. I think there's much bigger issues off the field at the moment. At least 2 transfer windows are needed to sort the squad out IMO.

 

To be fair to the gaffer, if we shipped out everyone not putting the effort in, he wouldn't have enough players to start a match.

We're already on a downward trajectory, last thing we need is points docked for forfeit.

 

I'm not one for sacking managers.. we are not a team full of world beaters but Clarke isdefinitely not getting the best out of what he's got.. which at the end of the day, that's his job.

 

shocking defending for all 4 goals-1st goal -player unmarked at far post-2nd, 3rd and 4th undiciplined defending-just shows how badly we are missing Roberts and Earl-who the hell is our set piece - defending coach. it looks like we dont do it- We have been very poor defending at home-why-because midfield defensively not good enough too- no leadership- imho we need a Kane or Redfearn. We are good going forward and crap at getting back. Clarke can only do so much and the players we have are not learning quick enough-how many 1st team assistant coaches have we got - is there a conflict between them, imho too many-and none are ex defensive players!!!!

 

What’s wrong with shouting ‘Mange tout!’ ??

 

People blaming Clarke for professional footballers (and I use that term loosely) not being able to do the basics is frustrating. The defending from set pieces is appalling. We don't have enough leaders. On Saturday the players were all looking at each other like a bunch of morons that didn't have a clue what they were supposed to be doing. Some of them need to sort themselves out.
