Big Ron's Sovereign Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Seems it's not wanted anywhere near some fans. DC gets stick for his loyalty to Carlos. Win a match, and some folk change opinions (not everybody though as some never accepted Carlos initially and wanted him out ever since) lose and folk are slitting their wrists, citing absolutely anybody to replace him... Read a few posts this weekend... couldn't be bothered to listen... the resutl meant nothing... didn't celebrate the goal... We aren't a million miles away, just needs a little bit of tinkering. Fine margins and a bit of Lady Luck, we'd have won 95% of games this season. FWIW I'm standing by Carlos, but he needs to adopt season 1 style and sharpish.

RUMBELOWS91 Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 We've looked a good side in 2 games. 8 of the other 10 couid have gone either way. The other 2 games (Preston and Blunts) were simply atrocious. I'm not sure that says we've been unfortunate- I'd say it says where we are is about right.

wilfsmith Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Great to see threads headed 'LOYALTY' and 'RESPECT' appear on Owlstalk tonight. They're not words which have been used at all in the last 24 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southie_Owl Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Bolton can say the same thing, a bit of tinkering and more Lady Luck and they would be higher up the table. Funny old game isn't it? Apart from when you have spent loads and have said top two is the aim, then it's not so funny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did a good job in first season and 99.9% of fans were behind him. We all wanted him to succeed last season but loyalty only goes so far. The disgraceful tactics in the home leg of the play off semi final confirmed he'd run out of ideas for me. A golden opportunity wasted. This seasons results and stubborn unwillingness to change tactics when teams dominant midfield against us only confirm he should have gone in May.

Fine That was the case in year one though. We were one mobile striker away from the top flight. Since then we've signed... Hooper, Van Aken, Emanualson Boyd, Fletcher, Venancio, Winnall, Rhodes, Jones, Fox , Abdi and Reach. God alone knows what it's all cost. I know that spending just one fraction of it all on a Wickham, Abraham type would have been better spent. We still don't have a strong, mobile striker, and our style of play has slowed down considerably since the first season - possibly to accommodate the many , many players we have signed who are of a similar speed - . We needed a little tinkering and we've just kept adding and adding and adding. I do like Carlos. I've rarely willed a man to do so well. I'm desperate for him and the players to succeed. But even my eternal optimism is waning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robowl4life Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 You can hope all you want, he's clearly not going to revert to season ones tactics as he would've done that already. Loyalty is all well and good but our last 4 league games LLWL is near enough relegation form, never mind top 2 or play offs! He should've walked after play offs last season with some dignity. Unfortunately it's all turning very sour for him, the club and us the fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are truly endowed with the patience of Job. It's the frustration of knowing we were so close but seemingly are drifting from that , thst is frustrating. It's the closeness that does you in. I'm usually better when we're truly awful. I know there's no point getting in a tizz. I don't expect anything from us. I never do. But we just needed tickling into shape. I do have some patience left but it's getting in shorter and shorter supply. Soon a vial of it will be as rare as a modern defender who can block tackle.

Animis Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 I only want what is best for SWFC. I don't care about any individual - they come; they go. I'll look back in old age and remember Roger Wylde, TC, Sheridan, Hirst, Waddle etc and smile. No one will ever come near to providing me with the highs and lows as Big Ron (not my dealer), and other managers will fade or are even already forgotten. We will continue without CC. You know, he won't get us promoted - maybe no one will, but he certainly won't, that I'm sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But even my eternal optimism is waning. This sums it up perfectly. Just needed a tweak here and there after the final. But no, we spend 30 million plus on fees and wages on those players. And quite frankly, we're no better for it. And now, the league is the weakest in the last 3 years and the money is gone due to ffp. No doubt a couple of our best players will be sold in January and our regression will continue. What a mess. DC and CC are both culpable in my view.
