Vat nailed it with that post. I’m with Lowe……only niggling issue for me is this wingback suicide. Ok in the prem with 50 million pound multi talented players but not in this league. A huge ask to get players to adapt to such a difficult role and be successful with it. Something has definitely changed since Doncaster…..Saydee looked like a shrewd long term signing…….recent performances are way below what I expected…….other players look stale as well. Trevit a big loss granted but our midfield looks soft…..in fact it was missing in action on Saturday. I understand the owner rebuilding from ground zero but you can’t keep the wallet clamped and expect success. Yes there will always be clubs who spend zero but have success (Stevenage) for 1 going great guns so far,but ultimately you have to spend a little on a spine of quality players to move away from mid table mediocrity. Our squad has no strength in depth…..Macmanaman as our rescue substitution says it all. Some of Saturdays starters need a long look at themselves…….integrity comes to mind. Heard some slagging Mullen off………the lad got absolutely nil service but chased every lost cause ……….need to point the finger at the suppliers who created nothing for him. Agree Saturday is huge……just pinched myself as after Doncaster I really fancied us to push for a play off place………..what’s gone wrong so quickly?
Keep repeating it but our midfield is gutless…….not a tackler in there. We have problems all over the pitch. Teams waltz through us with no physical presence anywhere. Saydee can’t time his leaps to win a header and shields a ball that runs 6ft away. If Costelloe gets 3 goals this season I’ll be stunned. Raphael was dire ,thank f### he’s not ours whilst we loan out Johnny Smith……poor recruitment strategy. Same goes for Darcy and Mellish at least had some presence about him and an engine. Owner a billionaire but we’re shopping at Go Local and it shows…..not all down to Lowe….a lot of the players seem to be in eco mode…..don’t break sweat. This is not mid table form……..it’s undoubtedly bottom 4 form………rot needs stopping asap.
Im lost. That was insipid. Against a poor side up until late on we created zero. Presently Saydee looks like he’s playing in divers boots and never won a header as well as not being able to trap a house brick. Something seriously amiss….players look 10 yds slower than every team we play .Costelloe as I’ve stated previously never ever gets in front of his man when a ball played goalwards. F####### when bringing on Macamanamn is our rescue card .3 a the back kills us. Really worrying times.
Another poor decision…….on a footnote …did I miss some information?…Why was Costelloe not in squad ?
Mmmmmm !!!…Dicked by Horwich..next game they beaten at Northampton……Same with Wycombe reserves done at Wimbledon……Now super ,class above us,best in league Cardiff who cruised past us now beaten at home by bottom of league Burton. Starting to think we really aren’t as good as that Doncaster win had me/ us thinking. Or other managers set their teams up tactically more astute…..and with a belief that no one is unbeatable.!!!
My sentiments…..thought Saydee was poor. This wing back shite in league 1 will stuff us. Wycombe 2nd 11 embarrassed us……their 1st 11 got dicked today so they not top draw. Bolton smashed us then lose at Northampton so who thinks they’re destined for promotion..?.not me.Both those teams comfortably spanked us. Cardiff never had to get out of 1st gear…..better in every department. Murray, Saydee non existent as attacking threat.Aimson a liability. Trevitt,Wright lightweight Costelloe never gets on the end of a ball into the box as he can’t work himself in front of the defender, always behind. That middle hasn’t got a tackle in it. We are jelly in the middle..and those players who looked so promising early doors are either just playing in a formation that doesn’t work or not as good as we thought. Either way apart from Mullen we look clueless going forward. Worrying times…..rumours he’s lost the dressing room……bollocks……yes he’s tactically coming off 2nd best but a lot of our squad need to wake up and grow a pair …….
After sleeping on the performance for a couple of nights I’m actually more p##### off than on the night. Wycombe as we know made wholesale changes…in fact 6 of their regular starters didn’t even travel !…..Up until the linesman getting injured(20 ish minutes?)we hadn’t touched the ball. They were making us look like a pub team. Asamoah and Rodrigues who looked decent when coming on against a 3-0 up,foot off the gas Bolton looked poor. In fact apart from Tickle the rest should donate any appearance money to charity. Our cup history has always been a source of immense pride to me ….whatever the cup. That lilly livered,sleepwalking, spineless effort against a league 1 reserve side was inexcusable. Makes Lowes job easy………he knows who starts now,and who’s up for it Saturday and who needs a f###### boot up the arse,or F####### off to the development squad………….really need a big performance Saturday or else the season could really tailspin downwards.
F### me…….back to work. God help us Saturday. Decent 11 when available but generally that’s it. No depth.
Half time….we haven’t 1 player out there who can tackle. Every challenge and every 2nd ball won by Wycombe. Their passing is the most notable difference…….doesn’t help playing minus a midfield…..so much for bounce back……hopefully changes 2nd half and we can get involved.
Watched the extended highlights this morning ……and a painful watch it was. Lowe completely blew any hope of getting a result but some of the players performances were wage deducting. Fox’s Cock up,Matt Smiths ,Sess,Murray…..etc all turned in horror shows on the day. Our flanks were wide open and doubt Horwich will get that much freedom again all season. Pray we learn a tough lesson and hope Lowe takes note that January’s return game isn’t “Just another game “!!!
Oh yeh……and those who believed we didn’t need to recruit a sh######e midfielder in the last window…….well there’s the end product .
