Until after the Plymouth match...Davey In

SM, I'm sure you've played football and potentially played in teams that get into this kind of mentality, after a losing streak. Teams that score first and then sit back trying to defend it, usually do so out of fear and I'm afraid that's exactly what a manager is there to sort out. Unfortunately, I don't think Davey has got the squad to believe in themselves.

Every paid manager up and down the league has that responsibility, particularly once you're 3 years in. It's your team, it should have been built to trust one another and fight until it's over, have full faith in the managers ability and respond to what he shouts from the touchline, because they believe in him.

I afraid as much faith has Davey has been given to build his team, it needs to be the end of the line.

 

Well summat's wrong cos we've done it constantly.</p>

Plus, if we excuse SD's first season in charge when he kept us up with what was ostensibly Ritchie's squad, this is the 2nd year on the trot we've been bricking it about relegation.</p>

Something or someone or some people somewhere are not good enough.

Lack of goals from central midfield is a big worry

You can't hope to do anything if your central midfield are incapable of scoring. No left sided players in the squad isn't very helpful either.

 

We sold Brian Howard

And haven't improved the strike force since getting rid of Richards and Hayes.</p>

There's yer problem.

We also have a £1.2m stiker who has been unavailable

... who knows what difference he might have made.

 

No excuse in my opinion.

Although Kevin McCabe has set a precedent in pursuing a claim that one player can affect a team's league position, so let's get Rumpole warmed up.

 

if we go down it's because we have a team of long haired dwarves

 

Not an excuse, merely an observation nt

 

And we STILL can't take a decent free kick / corner

Hammill / Andranik seem to be taking them at the moment - and they aren't even permanent members of the squad.

 

No, but it's already been hinted at in radio interviews. nt

 

But we did bring in

Two strikers who have scored goals on a regular basis at this level (Cureton & Mifsud) and couldn't get a decent return from either of them. Irrespective of what anyone's personal opinion is of the two, it makes you wonder how other teams and managers were able to get them scoring regularly when ours couldn't.

 

RE: I do worry about next season though if he takes us down

 

Careful mate, you will be upsetting the locals with remarks like that!!!

 

I'm off to work

Before there's any trouble!!!!

 

Why not put Devaney on?

and keep giving them something to think about? We have done this consistently this season and the fact that it'd happened time and time again seems to show that Davey has accepted it or asked for it until now. Teymourian is as bad as Colace, no engine and no bottle. Their culmulative efforts to prevent the cross weren't Davey's fault, I'll grant him that but he brought the players to the club and has stuck with them. We've had virtually no-one in on loan and I have to question why this is?

Do opposition clubs not like us "for some reason"? It's almost like we have no connections or summat...

 

But what did we do to replace him?

When it was immediatly apparent that he was out for the season? F. uck all that's what, except for persist with Special K.
