I had seen every home league game at Glanford Park since the ground was built up to the start of this season, only missing Southend in the FA Cup 5 years ago with sickness bug a few hours after I had been and bought a ticket at GP on the Friday, and a Micky Mouse Trophy game with Morecambe because of Fog where I live and 11 years ago a League Cup game against Oldham and Lincs Cup game v Lincoln because I had a wrist operation and wasn’t allowed to drive, but the way the club has gone downhill over the last 3 seasons and performances on the pitch this season I don’t really care if I don’t go again.
You don’t win football games if you don’t make the keeper make a serious save, our home record is appalling and technically we didn’t have a bad side out tonight, but still managed to throw it away against a team who were not the best team we have played.
Clarke didn’t make sure Henderson wasn’t going to win the ball, but Howard shouldn’t have come out, another calamitous goal conceded, when will it end and we wouldn’t have scored if we played until tomorrow.
unless we start to try to win games we are going down, and another home defeat.
Nigel Adkins opinion of Jem in a reply to me on Twitter “ Jem is a fantastic character, a real wholehearted team player. Obviously he’s not played for a while however when he played for me at Reading he was tenacious in the tackle, would run non stop and is a good passer of the ball.” so let’s give the lad a chance and not judge him on a couple of games.
a good listen the interview with Mike White, it was Mark Howard who brought him to the club after talks with Neil, and talks very highly of Nigel Adkins from his time at Reading.
I looked on their forum and someone said the same sanfran, not been given a chance, he looked impressive when he came here with Cambridge last season if I remember right.
I only want to hear positive news, we have have 2 1/2 years of doom and gloom from the club, I would like to see the positive Peter Swann who first came to the club instead of all the downward spiral we have had since we lost to Rotherham, we are losing to teams now that we would have brushed aside 3 years ago with a squad that is in a false position at the moment, apart from a few players we are a bottom 4 team with no Plan A never mind Plan B, we have got a big squad of players with most of them not league level, so technically with a lot smaller but better squad we could be challenging for promotion, but with such a large squad I still wouldn’t like to guess what the wage bill is, the club needed streamlining but we have gone from one extreme to another, and honestly I can’t see a improvement in the second half of the season.
I bet Premier League teams who play in Europe have training methods not to knacker the players on match days, I know they rotate a bit but some players seem to play in all games apart from minor Cups and seem totally fit, maybe the training here is too intense especially the day before a game.
Playing 1 up front at home with a striker who doesn’t score many goals and again we defend like a Sunday League Division 7 team, the trouble is it isn’t a one off, this minus our 3 injured players are the worst team for years, even the fight has gone from Gillihead, Eisa & McAtee
