Re: Should I(E) stay or should I(E) go?
I think it’s a misconception that our problem is mainly tactical. It isn’t. It’s mentality, character and spirit. The whole way Evatt sets us up to play combined with the limitations of a league one budget and shopping talent pool leaves us with these issues. But the tactics aren’t our major failin...

Re: Should I(E) stay or should I(E) go?
The squad is competitive. There will be changes to it, no doubt about that. Already 4 are confirmed gone.. Jerome, DadBod, Maghoma and Ogbeta. I would think we will have to cash in on either Charles or Ade to balance the book and get a few solid replacements in for those who have left. The league th...

Re: Tooling up: The summer 2024 transfer thread
Happy for Ogbeta. There is a player in there for me. Found himself thrust into a big game due to Williams injury, and was a deer in headlights, but he was not alone in that sense. Liked his ball carrying, willing to beat a player and his enthusiasm. Not sure Rooney will improve him but wish him all ...

Re: Should I(E) stay or should I(E) go?
We are a "nice" team. Aside from Toal,Thommo and maybe Iredale, who else jumps in front of the ref when he makes a controvertial call against us? I see other teams with players who run half the length if the pitch to get in front of the ref, calling for cards when a 50/50 tacle is made, wearing down...

Re: Should I(E) stay or should I(E) go?
I would like us to get some pace in the side, get better ball handlers in such as Dapo / maghoma... we also need a captain change. Of the players we have Dempsey or Thomason fit the bill. I would love if we can get that strong mentality from a cambatative player outside the current squad that Evatt ...

Re: Should I(E) stay or should I(E) go?
I think that we need some positive / uplifting news ASAP, as being out & about over the BH weekend the fans are completely deflated & flat - no one I spoke to is positive about next season. Nobody will be excited by next season until we are looking set to win the league. Even then there will be fea...

Re: Should I(E) stay or should I(E) go?
Evert rates himself as a top manager. He should take a leaf out from the book of the best...Pep. City lost in the FA Cup.. none of I dont know what happened, menatal toughness of players need looking into, players mistakes at the back etc... Pep simply said I got it wrong in the first half with my p...

Re: Our formation
I'll add to the previous post - there is absolutely nothing wrong with Santos, IMO he's our best player. The stick he got last Saturday was ridiculous, the standing on the ball etc. this was because no one in front of him was moving, he had no options at all, none - he had no one in front of him to...

Re: Should I(E) stay or should I(E) go?
Baxter came out and spoke, surprisingly to me, committing to give it another go. Haven't heard "Jack" from the manager about next season, so I can only assume he is carefully weighing if he should walk or stay. Hopefully he will make up his mind next week so that the club can move on with settling o...

Re: Should I(E) stay or should I(E) go?
I still cant see Evatt staying... no money .. goodwill lost ...tactically found out... standing on a banana skin with fans... I would recommend he takes the best offer out there and leave. If he stays, I will back him and the club as I always do and hope for the best.. but deep down I know that's a ...

Re: Should I(E) stay or should I(E) go?
I voted him to go. I have somewhat calmed down and still say he should go. He has a passing grade since he has been here, but tactically, cannot compete with the top managers in L1. I am not satisfied staying in this league. I have higher ambitions for our club.

Re: Should I(E) stay or should I(E) go?
If Evatt stays and recruits for Plan B, then maybe. But if he spends the summer recruiting for his Evatt Ball Plan A, next season will be a disappointment for us all.

Re: Tooling up: The summer 2024 transfer thread
Nice touch this. I wish him well. Never rated him in the beginning as his work rate, defensive side and flirting in and out of games with flashy dribbles didn't impress me. But credit to him, he clearly worked on his game and became a valuable player to us in the end. Which is also to the credit of...

Re: Should I(E) stay or should I(E) go?
If you were Evatt, why would you leave unless you have received a great offer elsewhere? I want change but hey... If he stays, then he will recruit for his system which has proven its failure to get us over the line. I believe if he stays, he will be fired by Sharon by October, because the slightest...

Re: Tooling up: The summer 2024 transfer thread
I would be surprised if Baxter stays. He will want to play higher up the pyramid. He reset his carreer with us, well below where he really want to be, but would have expected to be in the Championship next season. That hasn't happened so if a good offer comes in for him, he will be gone.

We will have to cash in on some of our assets. There is a business side to our club. Losing 5 million a year is not something any invester wants to put their money in for the love of it.

They are shithouses. And I can’t honestly come to any other conclusion. They will no doubt go elsewhere and not care one bit. Fans can’t. We are stuck here. And we deserve a hell of a lot better than this group and their ‘efforts’. One could argue - if they were so inclined - that given the. Level ...

Re: Should I(E) stay or should I(E) go?
By the way, I thi k Evatt and his system would be a better fit higher up the league with better players at his disposal, and I do believe he is a good manager, but not in this league.
