Just got back

How did we manage to play worse than we did under Schopp? Some achievement that, bored and cold apart from that one flash of excitement from Cole. The worrying thing was how pisssed off Brad looked first half, we've no chance if we lose him in Jan.

 

What worried me most tonight was that Cole was brilliant and got took off when he still looked to have a lot of running in him. A new manager and his first substitution was to take our best player at the time off

 

Don't care what it costs we need an experienced captain to strengthen our midfield and someone who knows where the goal is.

 

The only word I can think of is feeble. We were feeble.

I just long for something, anything, to even get me out of my seat. Instead, I turn up, sit there bored stiff, and go home. I am not sure why we still do it - must just be habit. I know I don't enjoy it.

 

Taking off our best player was one of his many mistakes.

19% possession.
0 corners.
0 shots on target.
Thinking that Moon is a Championship starter.
Keeping Benson on the pitch.
Not making a statement by subbing Woodrow.
Keeping the same tactics that have failed all season.
Thinking the answer to needing an equaliser is to completely lose shape by going to what looked like 514 tactics.

That tonight was uninspiring by Poya who managed to coach a match that was worse than anything we saw under Schopp.

 

Should have stayed with his U21s and we should have begged Warnock or Macarthy to come till the end of the season to keep us up.

 

I agree, tonight was utterly boring. There were no glimmers of hope, no passion, no fight. The crowd were consequently silent. I am dreading going to Peterborough to see more of the same; please make it stop.

 

@Jimmy viz someone wanted Woodrow taking off, get them told!

 

let's not write off Asbaghi just yet he has had 3 days. Swansea bored us into submission. I am glad I stayed at home. It takes two to tango. Their keeper probably had more touches that anyone else. We need to give our new man some time and hope that the pack gets shuffled in early January.

 

I take my hat off to anyone who goes to any away game right now. I can barely muster the enthusiasm to put my coat on and go to Oakwell. I reckon it is only the fact that WFH means I barely leave the house all week that gave me an excuse to go out.

As for going to Peterborough, I would genuinely prefer Meadowhall.

 

I think Woodrow, Helik, Styles, Moon all need a rest. I'm not a Brittain fan but at least he isn't a wet fanny fart.

I'd start with Morris, Cole and Iseka if we're playing a three.

Don't get the Morris stick. I get it looks like he's got rigour Mortis bus he's coming back from a nasty injury.

If we're playing a two up top it ad' be Morris and Cole with Iseka outside instead of Freiser.

Four at the back.

Brittain, Andersen, Sibbick, Pitching.

Midfield:

Hondermarck, Homes, Palmer.

Special note for Benson. Not good enough.

 

Not sure how much we can criticise poya in terms of implementing his style he hasn't had time to do.much. looked to me like we gave Swansea far too possesion and they never got put of 1st gear in the 1st half when they upped the pace we crumbled. 1st signs aren't good. Subs we baffling I would have gone with a more experienced manager who knows the league but this shower know better.

 

I'm not writing him off but it was a very underwhelming start.

 

I thought Styles did OK today, he certainly wasn't the worst on the pitch and showed some fight.

 

Still 2 central midfielders, 2 wingers, a left back, a striker short. Not kids with potential, actual players. We have enough kids with potential, some not so much.

As for the manager, not a good start....... poor selection, poor substitutions and poor tactics leaving massive gaps which led to their second goal.

 

Conway & co are sleep walking our club into oblivion. We’re nothing more than a laughing stock right now. Other clubs change managers and see a bounce. We were a lot worse tonight than I’ve seen before, which beggars belief. Don’t even get me started on the Cole substitution.
We need these joke owners out of our club…..

 

Palmer and benson look lost in the middle, not really marking, anyone, not really tackling that often but also not getting the ball either to do anything with it.

 

Definitely we didn't keep the ball for longer than 10 seconds.

 

Hondermarck and Gomes are the only two midfielders who have shown consistency yet they're FC uke d about. Same goes for Iseka and Cole up front.

 

We have a better midfielder on loan at Oxford than Benson and Palmer who got a assist the night before. Rather have George Benson in midfield.
