  1. Wasnt jones a left back when we signed him?
  2. Luckily Ryan Loft had the gun. He missed every time.
  3. Equally who’s creating anything for them?
  4. I think it goes back to the start of the season given some of the players we got in.
  5. Loads of factors. Allegedly reducing the budget. All sources I know within the club said it happened and the Jan window of 2023 / the amount of people that left behind the scenes seems to bear that out. Getting rid of players / offering them reduced terms isn’t an issue if we get in better players. We didnt do that. We’ve lost characters in the dressing room that supposedly drove standards behind the scenes as well as looking like they cared when pulling on the shirt. Being hamstrung to a formation and not recruiting players to fit that formation. DCs personal issues came to the fore. DF getting sole control with the removal of Garlick. Carol focusing on things outside of what goes on the pitch.
  6. Rubbish. Crosby, DC, Moore… all managers dish it out at some point. It’s how the players react. They aren’t reacting.
  7. Clark should never have been on that pitch, not only did he look unfit but he looked podgy to me. It’s a sad indictment of the mess we’re in that a first team player has playing in that state. It probably says a lot about our recruitment too in that he’s had to play because we have no full backs. That ball has come through a crowd of players and hit smith in the chest. Not one player at the front area has gone up with any intent of winning it and watching it back just, it looks like right in front of smith that Debra ducks out of it. A similar thing happens on the second with Chislett I think not making any attempt to head it away when he looks favourite to win it easily. Shocking. Players have no desire to stick their head in.
  8. Could still be a back 3 of lowe, smith and debs?
  9. Probably benched because he hasn’t been good enough.
  10. When we least expect a win tonight could be the night.
  11. Your last sentence covers it. It’s just something made up.
  12. Because you aren’t picking the teams and Moore is?
  13. The irony. Seems to me that a decent cross section of fans attended and they asked the pertinent questions. As long as the concerns we all have are asked then there’s no issue from me.
  14. I had no clue what the numbers at the beginning and end even meant. Still it’s also worth noting that recruiting isn’t just an individual thing. It’s a group of players that you’re assembling. A collective. At the moment we are so far from looking like a team that’s it’s unreal. We’re more like a collective shambles. What flitcroft has done since the promotion season is indefensible One things for sure. I can see with my own eyes that we’ve built a squad with hardly any goals in it, just looking at individual players stats tells you that. So what were our recruitment team seeing? We’ve decided to play a wingback system and we amazingly have no wingbacks. We have no strikers when we were drastically short of them in January and still are. We’ve tried to go to a back 4 and we have no fullbacks. Also we have that intangible thing of having no characters on the pitch and seemingly no togetherness. We had that in abundance 2 years ago when we went up. It’s been slowly dismantled. But overall just look at our performances and league position. We are terrible. There’s no dressing up how bad the recruitment has been since promotion. We were hearing rumours sneaking out of the club about flitcrofts “negotiation tactics” at the end of the promotion season when players were leaving or offered poor deals. It’s snowballed since then to the position we’re in now where his free rein has seen us have the squad stripped of characters and leaders to become an unbalanced mess with no one who we can feel connected to or invested in. He has to go. No ifs or buts.
  15. I don’t think any of the young lads as starters yet , neither are they players to build a squad around yet. There’s a long way to go in their development.
  16. All that means is that some players are quicker than him at this level.
  17. Garlick used to deal with all the player contract details and negotiations. Flitcroft took that off him so he could do it instead. Garlick is also a person who’d been around football clubs in this role for a number of years, let’s not forget he was someone Carol relied on and turned to for advice. The cynical amongst us may say that with Garlick out of the picture it only leaves one person who Carol could rely on for football “advice”.
  18. Its not as clear cut as people may think. There are 2 of our players in front of Ripley and I think smith is playing the lad on that scored.
  19. i think that since promotion you can list quite a few players that have gone or been moved on and be hard pressed to say the replacements that we got in have been better. It’s been a disaster.
  20. Who was laughing? The “trust the process” phrase is an embarrassment. Since promotion whenever anyone on here criticised a decision to let a player go they’d be met with the same phrase. Embarrassing and yet another in a long line of management speak phrases that’s been trotted out. We’ll be using them in here for years to come. Every manager has been sacked at some point though. I think that the main problem is that we left it too long to let Crosby go. Benning had to go for his own sake. Played in a wing back position that’s not his best and much maligned by fans, I bet he couldn’t wait to get out. Look at him now, playing in his familiar position and looking fitter than he ever did with us. Good on him.
  21. He’s nowhere being our best striker.
  22. See this so often. The other side are terrible, hinting that we should be beating these. They’re not that terrible at all. But we are. There’s are no gimmes in this league.
  23. Said earlier this week that Benning would turn up and show he’s a decent left back, much more so than he showed as a left wing back. It’s a pity we don’t have that option to go to a back 4 with proper full backs.
  24. Mightens done nothing to warrant a start and maybe he isn’t showing it in training. I think Chilslett is a luxury we can’t afford to carry at the moment. Injured apparently.
