Re: The unguarded moment. At Home to Shrewsbury Sat Oct 54th 3'0 clock

It’s simply down to the attitude of the players. Sat off them. Showed no intensity. No desire. They can’t be bothered and why should anyone else be? Has to be a better second half but regardless the first half shows all our problems with poor mentality and lack of intensity and desire - which you n...

Re: Between the lines. Home to Reading, Sat 21st Sept/ 3'oclock.

So my prediction was wrong, we did not play with fear as I expected (happy to take this on the chin) The team showed commitment throughout the game = Good. IE appeared to have relented and let them "off the leash" = Good However: - IE still does not appear to have a game plan and could not see any t...

Fair, but I think some do forget, and seem to think that Getting It Up The Pitch helps the entertainment. It happened on Saturday - boos when the ball went back to Baxter ("Get it forward!"), quickly seguing into more boos when he did so and their centre-back briefly stopped sucking on his cigar to...

Re: Welcome to Bolton. Wrexham (h), 18/08, 3pm

Excellent performance for me, defense very solid, Sheehan and Thomasson superb in the middle, schön excellent. Lots of good movement and passing. The only let down is we didn't manage to break down a defensively resolute side which is what parky is very good at. The front three had no cohesion, Col...

However at least Dave the Minion (aka Ian Evatt) & Mar will be happy as in their opinion Evatt can't do anything wrong. The only way that I'm renewing my ST if we are still in League 1 next season is if the manager isn't Evatt. Seriously??? This is hilarious... In case you need it spelling out, I'm...

Re: Not exactly a Derby. Away to The Rams, Sat 16th March 3-0'clock.

Evatt ‘we are process and performance driven not results driven.’ Yeah that’s the problem. Maybe they will award us the process and performance trophy at the end of the season. Does it come with an extra promotion place? Not a surprise to hear that from Evatt. However, he clearly does not understan...

Re: Not exactly a Derby. Away to The Rams, Sat 16th March 3-0'clock.

I'd take the Exeter result to be fair, but won't get a sniff if we match the second half performance! I'm really nervous about this. So much so, that I have broken a 2 year gambling hiatus and put £15 on Derby, as a fall back option for the disappointment of defeat. Practical and Pragmatic - Not fo...

Re: Not exactly a Derby. Away to The Rams, Sat 16th March 3-0'clock.

Even after Tuesday I’m not confident. Evatt is saying they are using the doubters to spur them on - so use the doubt lads, prove me wrong! I think the frustrating thing is on our day I think we are the better side. But our day hasn’t happened enough yet this season. IMHO and plenty will disagree bu...

Re: South to East (London, that is) Leyton Orient away Sat 20th Jan 3-0'clock..

What a shocking start. Look simultaneously tired and sh*t-scared. Centre midfield entirely bypassed both defensively and offensively. Continually losing possession on the edge of our box. Needs a change of shape in the centre to find an outlet from the back. Dion is looking to be having a total sti...

Some on here may criticise Santos but again the Wed commentators were full of praise for him in Central defence. What's the opposite of rose tinted specs ? Sceps Detnit Esor.

Re: The future is hidden from all men and great events hang on small chances: Exeter (H) Sat 1/5/21 @ 3pm

Just seen and read Evatt's reaction and guess what - Same old story "Not my fault", he goes on to blame everyone and everything without taking any of the responsibility 1. “On the pitch, there’s just too many below par" - For what reason? - you are the manager - you should know! 2. "Too many went in...
