how to go from league 1 playoff contenders to National League Premier League in 3 seasons.
Also having Matt Gilks, Conor Townsend, Murray Wallace, Duane Holmes, Hakeeb Adelakon, Paddy Madden, Neil Bishop and Josh Morris at that time and look what we have now, I don’t think I have seen us have a close season before were I haven’t heard of any of the new players before.
The rot started with the departure of Paddy Madden. The other were destined for higher divisions. Our signings now resemble the plan of ‘Nearly Headless Nick’.
Was a talented player. Superb passing and movement off the ball. Did well for himself in the USA playing and then when his playing days ended very abruptly, career ending ankle injury.
Read Neil Cox’s post match in Scun Telegraph – not a happy bunny at all !!
Did hear this morning that outside the dressing room it was very plain only 1 persons voice was heard and it was not complimentary regarding the input of certain players efforts and attitude throughout the evening.
Bartonscorpion ! This is the last time I will answer such a stupid assumption of yours I never have wanted 1 up top, never liked 1 up top. I have repeatedly said 4 4 2 that means exactly that 4 4 2.
The line up indicated Loft and Hallam as 2 up top, it then went to a 1 and 1 – didn’t like it then or anytime in the future. It is more of a negative formation that sets up to deal with the opponent. As opposed to making opponents dealing with what we do.
Finally I would rather watch a team of battlers than witness some senior pro’s let down others who are working for the shirt.
Nowhere in my comments have I said I like 1 up top ! That is why I advocate 442 – check back.
I don’t like team selection based on the opponents line up ! These says defensive attitude. What I did applaud was the efforts of the players who battled away to keep the lead – how is that endorsing 1 up top ?
A teenage black lad from inner-city London trying to find his way in north Lincs. needs consistency from someone with the talent to manage his.
Unfortunately, he didn’t get it here, and from age 16 he’s had about 9 managers in 8 years, most of whom were struggling themselves. Plus, some ‘fans’ were quick to get on his back when he did make a mistake.
Not good, especially in the early years – as any teacher knows.
Just turned 24, he still has great potential which McCann has evidently seen and can bring out at Hull.
West Ham let him go from their academy and they helped him move by cancelling his academy paperwork and we took it over.
You need to have a chat with his agent before blaming managerial changes.
Watson 10
everyone else 9 – why, they never quit. Never stopped helping each other, worked their socks of for the shirt. Last season we had seasoned pro’s who didn’t give a sod ! With them we would have lost yesterday.
Perhaps it wasn’t pretty, it was 3 pts. Issues I have is selections are made to deal with opponents. That is a worry for me.
