CrosbyKitchens Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Preston away first game of the season. Abject display on the back of a full pre-season. No one had a clue what they were doing, even though this team has largely been together for three years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin is the only man I know who can sit in one room and blow his nose in another. Evo only needs to look at a slice of bread and he puts 2 stones on. Tufty has a permanent expression on his face which would lead one to believe that he's straining at stool. But for all their defects, lack of courage is not something which can be levelled at any of them. Sadly that is not the case with our own man, the White Feather/a Pena Branca. We'd be in the top two with Colin in charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyowl Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 The disgrace against the pigs! Was worried in the build up with his comments!

Something that really annoys me about that match and the fact that the players treated it like "just another game" was Lee Bullens role. He's played in Sheffield derbies, he knows what it means to the fans, why wasn't he getting the players fired up for it? Barry Bannan admitted after the game that he didn't realise just how big it was!! How can that be possible with Bullen in the dressing room? What does he actually do??

Exactly this but the Preston game at beginning of year last season was woeful I really can't believe we managed to bluff our way so far since ?....

Utterly piiss poor performance against a promotion rival. CC stood there clueless on the touch line for most of the game. Exactly this for me too I remember starting to watch him at about 60 minutes and he just looked like a manager that was about to get sacked... all the familiar mannerisms. Shows how much I know, but also shows he's been looking bereft of ideas for a while now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I commented after that debacle, "where was Bullen in all this"? Clearly nowhere near the players on the build up. If he was then he can go when DC finally comes to his senses.

jordyowl Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Rotherham at home last season! Was bloody hard to persuade my little brother to come to games after that, hence us having to start the Lego Hillsborough to try and bring some interest back for him 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we had attacked Huddersfield we would have won that game. They had a centre half that was about as quick as me. The more time that passes by, the more angry I get about the way he set up for that game. Total shambles.

I’m the same Ive never left a game as furious as I did that night The chance of promotion was blown spectacularly. I’m not even talking about hindsight here either. I can remember hearing the lineup on the way to the ground and shaking my head in disbelief. Since when had FF and Fletcher worked upfront? Why drop Reach? Why play FF, Pudil, Hutchinson and Lee in a game that could go to 120 minutes when all 4 aren’t 100% fit? Why change things so drastically from a side that had just won 6 on the bounce? Why try and defend a one goal lead, when the crowd are up and Huddersfield were on the ropes? We should have killed that game off All that stood in our way from a return to the Premier league, was an average hard working Huddersfield at home and Reading at Wembley Carlos blew it big time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Not so much losing faith in Carlos, but the project as a whole For me it started after Wembley Really enjoyed that season, despite the Wembley defeat It was clear to most, I think, exactly what we needed to do if we wanted to take the next step. There wasn’t that much wrong, and was fairly simple to fix, especially given the money that was available. However, that window was an ill thought out disaster In came a dozen new faces, none really addressing the obvious shortcomings That’s when I started to lose faith As the season started to unfold, it was clear that something was really wrong The manager formulated a system that, in his mind anyway, negated the need for pace and power It was reasonably effective, but as a spectacle, for me, a total turn off. I stuck with it, but my visits to Hillsborough became more sporadic Even in December I was still engaged enough to launch a one man campaign against the prospect of signing Jordan Rhodes Our January moves for Rhodes, Fox and Winnall, were again, not what was needed I saw the season out, but following another uninspiring summer window, I vowed to not get so wound up by the going’s on at Hillsborough When you disengage, then you don’t feel obliged to go to the games You can be more pragmatic, and if the football doesn’t entertain you, you don’t go I’ve seen us only 5 times this season, despite being in the country most of the time That’s unheard of for me Sadly, I don’t see things improving any time soon Unlike others, I don’t see it as simply a case of sacking the manager, the problems seem much deeper We are a club who have lost our way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
