W14Owl 3 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Look, I am hugely disappointed with today's result. But when was the last time you came away from a game thinking - wow, that was a genuinely vibrant, passionate Wednesday performance? Link to post Share on other sites

TheOwlsofDodworth 975 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 It's a great point you make. No one does - we just canter along. It's one dimensional, static, slow and predictable football. You know what to expect before a ball is even kicked. Literally zero pace in the starting 11 today! We do OK but that's all it is...OK.... it's not lobster or sardines. It's more Cod. 10 million pound Rhodes doesn't suddenly become bobbar overnight. Our tactics do not compliment his style of play. So I ask, why was he signed in the first place? I could go all night with reasons to be unhappy at the state of things but trying to remind myself of darker times. Two top 6 seasons is fantastic but the current setup will not get this club to the premier league. Sigh Link to post Share on other sites
W14Owl 3 Posted September 24, 2017 Author Share Posted September 24, 2017 So we're talking a minimum of 10-12 games of utter turgid football where we've scraped points against those we should have beaten and lost against those we should have shown at least a modicum of fight against. Coupled with the total shambles the commercial side of the club seem to revel in ("150 years of one of oldest clubs in English football - so let's go off piste and design everything in house. Although by "in house" we mean we have no clue who'll do it"). We're 10th. I know it's not as bad as the lower reaches of league one. But still, this is depressing. Link to post Share on other sites
