madowl47 Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Apart from : Brought in too many players too quickly Broken up a fabulous side oozing confidence Dismissed the signing of Danny Batth Brought in the wrong captain. Played our most effective attacking player this season at right back. Bought McGuire and ignored him. Brought in Bothroyd and stuck with him even though he's struggling Failed to change formations when required. Made ridiculous substitutions. Sent Beevers on loan to Millwall. Failed to realise how Rodri should be played. Allowed the defence to play far too deep meaning we are bypassing midfield and just running the ball into opposition defence. Not found a corner taker. Caused in fighting between players. Constantly praised his own signings during interviews. Failed to realise we are playing crap and saying we are close to competing at this level. Other than this. Brilliant !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the gaffer Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Stripping Semedo of the captaincy Making Taylor (our worst player) skipper, and then Gardner (3 captains already) Failing to drop Kirkland after he has the worst shots/saves ratio in entire division. Playing people out of position (Beevers LB, Mattock RB, Bothroyd on wing, JJ RB) Publicly criticising Llera Lots of his signings dont even make the 18. If we lose against Leeds I think we will certainly have a new man at the helm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OxonOwl Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 (edited) Stripping Semedo of the captaincy Making Taylor (our worst player) skipper, and then Gardner (3 captains already) Failing to drop Kirkland after he has the worst shots/saves ratio in entire division. Playing people out of position (Beevers LB, Mattock RB, Bothroyd on wing, JJ RB) Publicly criticising Llera Lots of his signings dont even make the 18. If we lose against Leeds I think we will certainly have a new man at the helm. Semedo was not a great captain and his performances as captain were poor. Taylor and Gardner are fairly obvious choices for captain. Taylor may have had some bad form since he joined but in no way matches the stick he has been getting. Kirkland is our best keeper. Stats don't show how little chance he had with the one's he didn't save. We all know the defence has been the reason we have conceded, not the keeper. Playing players out of position, some of these out of necessity. Mattock has played RB before and it didn't work. Devoid of other choices JJ stepped in and did a great job. Bothroyd on the wing had his best game so far and gave COG the chance to have one his best games. Some of the signings who haven't made the 18 ( not sure who ) perhaps have yet to earn it. I don't know on that one. I don't attend training sessions. Are you being sarcastic, ironic or just disingenuous? :st2: or do you just know f all Edited October 6, 2012 by OxonOwl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OxonOwl Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 I'd rather DJ got sacked for being a scouser than all these trumped up charges. Without him we'd be playing teams like Yeovile and Sheffield Utd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshTheOwl Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 AHHHHHHHHH, WE. NEEDED. TO. MAKE. CHANGES. If we were in this position with last years squad fans would be questioning why he made little changes, DJ can't win it seems. *Awaits comment 'we would have done well with the spirit and determination'.

Guest Sheff Owl Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 For example, how many posters raised concerns at the number of signings we were making? I did have concerns in the summer about just ripping up the squad that got us promoted. Do i win a prize? No seriously we all know we needed to add to the squad but it did worry me.

DJMortimer Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Where do you sit DJM in all this turbulence - and are you still optimistic? I'm ambivalent to be honest. I believe it's too soon to make reactionary assumptions but there are some justifiable reasons for deep concern at where we are going in the near future.

I believe it's too soon to make reactionary assumptions but there are some justifiable reasons for deep concern at where we are going in the near future. What happens [or not] in this international break is crucial IMO - whether that's bringing in an experienced steadying influence in midfield and/or the club adopts a seige mentality and/or a review of the coaching situation or just a brain dump by the players to let off steam. Frustrations are boiling over on and off the pitch. The next couple of weeks will be a test of leadership at squad, managerial and club levels.

Guest foreverSWFC Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Got to agree with OP. Some of his decisions have been bizzare and seem to be having an adverse effect on the squad. Very worrying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Hate saying this...but today reminded me of watching a performance under this bloke... We were negative, insipid, couldn't score in a brothel and the game was lost the moment we conceded. Never though I'd be saying that about Dave Jones.
