OwlsMan1961 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Megson needs to stop the excuses and blame and sort this out, thats what he is paid to do, I don't think he knows his best side at the moment, too much chopping and changing some of it unnecessary, he has put the pressure on himself. Personally I think our lack of a creative or holding midfielder is the problem, no wonder Madine and O'Grady look lost at the moment,there is no decent supply, as for our strength at set pieces .... well where is it ? No good having 10 corners and not creating much from them, and when was the last time anyone took a decent free kick for us ? Anyway sort it out Megson ...... UTO !

lesvegas Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 No. We expect the players to at least try though. Bullshit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owls66 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Megson should stop making little digs and sort this mess out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrickyTrev Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Haven't read the rest of the thread so apologies if I'm going over old ground here. I do think however Megson is missing the point a little here, we don't expect to be sailing through the division but that's not what the fans are currently annoyed about, the fans are annoyed that we are losing to teams we SHOULD be beating (Exeter and Stevenage) and we're annoyed with recent performances as we know the team are capable of so much better.

Belfast Owl 2 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Is this the same Megson who says he is better than some Premiership managers? Surely he should be able to take this squad up then Or does he need to have the most expsensive squad to do so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Darren Potter Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 (edited) Megson talks bo!!ocks. He says he doesn't care about performances, yet when we lose he says that we were the better team, AND THEN comes out with all these rumbleing stats saying how we should have won. Sh!te interviews. Sh!te football. Sh!te team selections. MEGSON OUT Edited February 16, 2012 by Darren Potter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dorian gray Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I don't disagree with Megson's comments. But he knew what the expectations at the club were when he joined. In his defence, I guess, what he didn't know was what the transfer policy would be?. in time to come we may well get to know why megson has had copper to spend, instead of the funds that appeared to be in the offing...

Bluesteel Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 http://www.bbc.co.uk...otball/17053396 That's how a 'leader' (Wenger) handle's the media after a bad defeat (last night versus Milan). No blaming, but a need for unity and an ability to look at himself! Wenger is just as bad though, as a polar opposite. He shields his players too much and they dont have the will to win because the gaffer will always make excuses for them. Its all about balance, rollocking the right ones and putting an arm around the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRUCE LEE Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 That quotes fair enough to me... He's built a hard working, honest, (occasionally) organised team. Any of our opponents would confirm this. Regardless of our aims, objectives and budgets we are up against a few teams that are operating a poo or bust policy and who no doubt have players that you don't often see at this level. However, we find ourselves 3rd, a position that other teams would love to be in,....Preston and Bournemouth for example, big budgets at both clubs. It's all about momentum this league, if it starts to wain then people start to micro analyse every aspect, and if theres no obvious reason to losing by the odd goal... then you have to sack the manager. In the cold light of day we are 3rd, we have 2 derbys coming up, this is now the point where you back YOUR team isnt it ? Drag them over the line and pick them up, right ?....

Animis Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 i wish he would'nt exagerate the size of the club - his pre-match comments about steveage playing in front of a few thousand each week to then playing in their cup final blah blah - its gonads - the stadium was 35% full and it was'nt their cup final. We need to stop intimidating the players by placing false expectation on them - this has been happening now since we droped out of the premiership and each succesive manager has churned out the same 'pressure' line. Just get a quality settled team in place and play flipping football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Essix Blue Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Too many people were getting carried away a few months ago when we were in a good position. Fact is you could tell then we weren't playing particularly well but getting results. That's ok for so long but it can't continue, and it didn't.

We create more chances than any other team in this division, we just don't score the feckers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
