  1. Yeah leave off Eustace. He's only had 7 winnable games. He'll turn it around once he's had a summer and the lower standard of teams in league 1 will really help.
  2. It was so obvious to me and those around me that he should come off at half time. Euseless
  3. I thought the crowd really got behind the team in the 1st half to try and get them going. They didn't respond and the crowd fell back into apathy. It's on the manager / players right to do their jobs.
  4. I've had a think about it, with the injuries we've got there's not an obvious answer here. Working on the assumption that Pears, tronstad and Hedges all remain unavailable and brittain will be fit. I'd go 4-4-1-1. Walhsted Brittain. Hyam. Wharton. Pickering Siggurdson. Ayari. Buckley. Gilsenan Szmodics Gally Even as I type it I shake my head. Obviously it looks very weak in midfield but the other options particularly out wide would be moran, markanday or dolan, of those perhaps dolan simply for work rate but like many other he's not exactly deserving of a start. I'd play gilsenan as a wild card option, there's no such thing as a perfect time to chuck someone in but he might step up and not quite feel the pressure of the more established players. Cm has to be ayari and Buckley simply because moran and garrett aren't up to it there.
  5. We created nothing today. And scored largely down to a horrendous unforced error from a Millwall defender (great finish though). I felt we tried to play passing football in the first half, just slowly and lacking the player rotations that made us a fairly good attacking force under JDT. With McFadzean receiving too much of the ball and no movement, naturally we didn't create a single chance. It didn't take long for us to start hoofing it to nobody. The return of the short corners was also most unwelcome and the ayari one at the end was mind numbingly dumb. Ultimately we are in the position we are due to how we have been run but criticism should be given out to eustace and the players on this occasion. The players are very clearly hiding in my eyes (szmodics as often is the case sticks his chest out) and Eustaces tactics are frankly poor consisting of let's get men behind the ball and hope we don't get beat. Looking very much a waggott appointment right now.
  6. Bar a statement about the McGuire nobody has come out and explained anything to the fans at large. It's a disgrace in my eyes. I also think it's counter productive as if they explained the issues then I think quite a lot would swallow the party line. I imagine there will be something that prevents GB from doing his scheduled march transfer review thingy.
  7. Yeah wouldn't blame the medical department. They will present the risks based on his injury history and his medical. Anything beyond that is not their decision to make.
  8. I'd be really surprised to see szmodics available on Saturday and if he is I'd be tempted to home back until the 2nd half. Sounds as though gally might be fit as too with tronstad. I'd maybe consider the big crewe lad if there is some wear in the cbs. 5 outfield players played 120 mins on Tuesday and with the fixture list as it is we've got to careful there. I'd go: Pears Hyam. Fadz. Wharton Brittain. Buckley tronstad Pickering Markanday Dolan. Gally Subs: wahlsted, o'riordan, Billy, duru or gilsenan, chrisene, garrett, moran, siggy, telalovic
  9. Pears Hyam. Wharton. Pickering Brittain moran Buckley GarrettChrisene Telalovic. Dolan Subs: wahlsted, Fadz, Billy the kid, Batty, duru, ayari, siggy, gilsenan, gally I'd give szmodics the night off, I'd only give gally the 2nd half and hope we aren't out of it by then.
  10. I'll be blaming the ownership tbh. We were 5 points clear when he left. The let's blame JDT for relegation is a bit of a stretch. Ultimately we don't know where we would be if he stayed, we were on a bad run but we had a buffer to the relegation zone. A manger with most of his key players fit and a slightly deeper squad should keep this team up.
  11. I think he's done okay I think but Its a small sample size especially as I don't really count the stoke win as 'his'. I think he's bennefitted from having more experienced players available to pick from and having our best keeper and striker available is a luxury that JDT didn't really have during the bad run. To his credit he seems to be using gally better than most have used him over his time here. We are more pragmatic, don't lose it in silly areas as much, are less liley to get countered on, offer a much greater threat from set pieces. We hang in games longer, appear more dogged, and actually look more solid the longer games go on. But I think to say he's 'fixed the defence' is imo complete rubbish. It's still an issue for us. I thought first hour yesterday norwich should've scored more than the 1 they did. Same with Birmingham away, we conceded a lot of chances. We aren't playing a high line and norwich got in behind quite a few times yesterday. Pears has been mostly very good in the last 4/5 games which is gaining us points as much as anything. We are giving the ball away way too much at present. At times it's aimless hoofing. Nothing wrong with direct long ball football but you've still got to have a purposes with these passes. It's frustrating, as much as JDTs side should've varied it slightly more then so should this side... if a channel ball isn't on move it around and open one up. It's painful to watch at times. Hopefully when JE gets time on the training ground with this group he can get this refined more. I'm still on the fence with JE.
  12. I'm not giving Eustace stoke. He wouldn't have been claiming that one if we were losing it. He didn't take a training session, I'm pretty sure he didn't pick the team. It's 2 draws and a defeat in 3. We look a bit more solid defensively but I feel we've sacrificed a lot to get that. He's got them scrapping though. If the players stay fit we will stay up. As for progress beyond that my hope is that its a case of a manager 'building from the back first'
  13. Buckley has come on and we can suddenly string more than 2 passes together.
  14. Would you target this one or Saturday for example. Newcastle is a bit more of a free hit.
