  1. Haven't been looking forward to a game so much for some time. There's now a glimmer of hope. Come on!
  2. Hopefully, Brizzle on holiday! Team should pick itself after Saturday! Ripley Debrah. Smith. Yak Sang. Garrity. Ojo. Chissy Plant Loft. Wilson
  3. Was going to make a team suggestion but the mere thought of selecting any of this squad makes me nauseous.
  4. Wouldn't get 7 in 70. But I have a soft spot for Uche as well.
  5. 1. From the outset playing 361, we didn't sign players that fit into that system: wing-backs is the obvious one. 2. Also, we signed some 'jack of all trades, master on none' (Lowe, Sang - although hasn't been given a chance in his best position) probably because of budget restraints. 3. Not signing strikers of any calibre or enough strikers. 4. Losing 2 loanees who are future Premiership players and not replacing them. 5. Having no balance to the squad, therefore, playing round pegs in square holes in a relegation battle. 6. Not having a Plan B when 361 formation failed. Due to imbalance in squad. 7. Signing players who are simply not good enough for League 1, some for League 2. Also, having retained players who are not good enough. 8. Not signing players who will play in the positions that the formation dictates: For example, if the formation dictates wing-backs, sign wing backs NOT play wing backs but sign Connor Grant and play him at wing back. 9. Not being coached on how to attack, break a team down or create a chance. Instead, players get to the final third and don't know what to do with it. 10. To conclude, IMO: a) Not a big enough budget (or not spending it) b) Poor recruitment (players and manager)
  6. Get Dennis back: Around 50 seconds in. Sweet as a nut!
  7. Major surgery required! Defo! Even though most of the players are contracted next season, surely a few of these clowns will move on! Got to get some footballers in!
  8. My journey to apathy from the start of the season to now: 1. Expecting to win each game 2. Expecting to win the odd game 3. Hopeful of a win 4. Expecting to lose but expecting to score 5. Expecting to lose but expecting to get some shots on target 6. Expecting to lose and expecting that we don't have a shot on target. = not @rs£d
  9. If he wanted to play for the shirt, I would keep Funso as well as maybe Chissy. I reckon those 3 (including Garrity) are better than our promotion winning midfield a couple of years ago. It's the defence that really needs sorting for me! Shocking. Players who were in the promotion side have gone down hill. Also, might be a good idea to sign some strikers? Might be worth a thought? For league 2, I would keep Wilson.
  10. Am hoping that we here Jones is ill or injured because, even though the team generally were shocking, Jones was not better than one of those 'dome cones' the players used during the warm up. Why did we sign Lowe and release Pett?
  11. Ripley Mitch. Smith. Kasper. Jones Ojo. Sang Massey. Garrity. Mighten Wilson 3-1 Oxford Oxford 1-0 inside 10 minutes
  12. As the season seems to be done, just to pass the time, was thinking about some of the players we've (Flitcroft) signed over the past 2/3 years AND who could/would have played in a 4231 system tomorrow/now. Just for fun (or maybe add to our depression). What about?: Ripley Gibbo. Smith Hall. Mitch Ojo Pett Garrity Massey Wilson Politic Better than what we have????
  13. He doesn't watch us every week. If he did, he'd soon change his mind.
  14. And with having the same squad next season, there's no light at the end of the tunnel.
  15. Out of all the sides i've seen this season, Leyton Orient have surprised me the most because of good they were. Especially for a side just promoted. Well organised, well drilled, fast passing, know what each others jobs are, press quickly. Really impressed with them. We're going to get tatered!
  16. Wouldn't be surprised if Loft leaves before the end of the season.
  17. Will the budget be less, same or more next season? Less revenue from attendance but will Carol put more into the team budget from selling Synectics? Of course, most players we are stuck with BUT surely some of those contracts will be terminated. If there were no restrictions, and bearing in mind we will be in a lower division, I would keep: Ripley, Clarke, Yak (squad), Ojo, Garrity, Chissy, Wilson, Plant (squad), Sang (midfield only - squad) Personally, I feel that are down. Therefore, is it time DM started to make a decision on what he sees as the 'identity' of the club going forward and using the remaining games playing that way?
  18. Team Ripley Mitch. Kasper. Yak. Jones Ojo (hope he's reclaimed his teddies from out of the pram) Garrity Chissy Massey. Loft. Wilson Expect: fight, we take game to Shrews and where possible players playing in their natural position.
  19. And that's my point - we've not upgraded.
  20. Been numerous debacles assembling this squad. Was thinking about the decision to move Conlon on. By no means suggesting he was the answer. However, if and when he played, he played with professionalism and pride. Conlon was no way as good as Devine and Blaster. However, they both left in January and we bring in Weir, Gore (loans) and we obviously have Lowe on the books. Lowe seems likely to play in that defensive midfielder role. Have we upgraded on Conlon with these three? Not just in terms of quality but effort, resilience? May be looking at this through 'rose tinted specs' BUT I genuinely don't feel Weir and Lowe are any better than Conlon and Gore's done a disappearing act. Just highlighting another recruitment failure IMO.
