    Instead you've allowed that absolute pillock to turn us in to a soulless training ground for top tier loan signings.

     

    I’ve never been able to truly sum it up. But that is the comment right there. And him borrowing a few teenage players whose own parents forgot they played for Man U, Spurs etc is apparently what makes Carol think he is unsackable

    Watching the pathetic home performances we have 'smelt' like a relegation side for ages.

    It's like a golfer missing a 4 foot putt then trying it again and again and getting the same result and refusing to accept he is wrong.

    But he won’t buy a putter. He claims his driver can hit way further than he expected and so his set of clubs are fine. No investment needed

    David Flitcroft Out

    Open letter from Carol on Facebook. Sounds like Flitcroft is going nowhere. Just about ticked enough boxes to meet his targets…

    Sold a player to a bigger club (tick), loaned players from a Premier League team (tick). 

    None of them are remarkable - every team loans/sells players from/to big teams, anyone could improve an academy if they had some money to spend. All of the things keeping him in his job would’ve happened with or without Flitcroft (promotion to League 1 included)

    Talking of the fan zone, it seemed very sparsely populated on Saturday fir a decent day. No queue at all for the beer

     First time I've noticed that

    They need to turn that music down (at the risk of sounding like an old man). It’s deafening even with the DJ shoved behind Tommy’s. I’d like to try a beer outside in the Fan Zone but just go straight in and have a beer in the ground. It’s not even like it’s a band playing original music. I could hear all of that on Signal One if I wanted

    An interesting comment by Crosby after the game last night, where he basically admitted we finally decided to utilise Uche’s strengths. Which then makes me question the Uche signing- why has it taken around three months to get to this point? 

    Finally! I always got the impression he always treated whichever striker came on like a small quick “poacher” (if this was Football Manager) whether that suited them or not. So after about 60 minutes we had Uch/Lofty chasing through balls into the box, sneaking to the back post for tap ins etc and achieving precisely nothing. Not playing to their “big lumbering target man” prowess.

    I remember at one point in one match he had both on at once playing like that. The whole opposition could’ve gone home and we would be playing for several hours without scoring.

    It just shows we have 11 decent players who can put in a decent performance. We just need a decent manager. 

    Why does he insist on wasting the first 45 minutes of every match playing that negative crap and we only get going in the second half? (Unless we’ve somehow stolen the lead - in which case, the negative crap continues while we try/fail to get the 1-0 win).

    I’d love to know, since the start of the Crosbyball era, how many games we’ve taken the lead but failed to win (bonus points for opposition equalisers scored in the last 10 minutes). 
     

    It seems like Groundhog Day over and over - take the lead in the first half, huff and puff to HT without scoring again, get to 60th minute without scoring, take the players off who are most likely to score, sit back and invite pressure and inevitably concede. 

    All the opposition needs to do is stop us getting crosses in for the first half - nobody will shoot from outside the area, nobody will go on a run. And it’s usually quite straightforward as we don’t have anyone who can score off a cross. Then go all-in after half time and we’re there for the taking.
