I'm sure it's just coincidence, but I've much preferred reading this thread as opposed to the normal, boring ones that start bang on 14:30 or 19:15 every week...has something changed?
If there was one game where you would hope the players would attack like their lives depended on it, it would have been this one, new coach, new beginning, same weak mentality.
Defenders don't necessarily become defensive coaches. There's only people on forums and in pubs that think this.
We’ve also got a striker and midfielder on the coaching staff and we are $hit in those departments also
3 chances that same Mansfield defender who scored had and all 3 times we never learned & decided to mark him properly and eventually got punished for it.
Not a good day at the office. If I was Conor I'd enjoy the craic for a day before the grim reality of the next fixture. The story of the Irish Rover may prove too much to contemplate. It was sad about the captain's old dog. In reality the ship has not yet gone down, but it has little chance of any immediate turn around.
Out of all the defenders, Mael is the last one we need to focus on to defend other than Roberts. Mccarthy is abysmal. Okeefe, Ferrugia, Cotter, Gent, Dexter, Pines all much worse at defending. The one major improvement Mael needs though is his heading. Ok half the time, the other half puts us in danger.
I’m not convinced we’ll get many points from the remaining fixtures. Not sure I’m going to bother for the rest of the season. It’s just too frustrating and depressing.
In ten minutes I'll be on this forum in a pub, so I'll let you know my further thoughts on the matter then.
I’m going to be kind and say that he’s just reaaaallllyy superstitious. I remember him being weird about it once before and his comments were along the lines of ‘we won when I did one and then lost one time we didn’t’ or something. I’m not sure how that squares with all the games we’ve lost this season though. To be fair though, it may not have even been a superstition thing then and just a manipulation tactic, so who knows.
I hate this comment, Andy if you put your house up for sale do you know who's buying it? At least if we knew the owners were actively looking to sell then maybe that would be better, rather than them just running the club into the ground, putting money in yes but at the same point employing people in positions who haven't a clue.
