We need a hard, hard man to tell players who won't stick their heads in where it hurts to do it, or go ta tas You do realize that kind of hardman man management went out with smoking in the dressing room.

sherlyegg Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Got outbored by the master, we might just about deserved a draw on the boredom meter. I swear Lawrenson said, 'ffs hope this don't go to extra time' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing really. We go three up front and spend the next 15 minutes trying to thread it through midfield. Should have gone direct. We all know when teams did that to us under Carlos we were crap.

I swear Lawrenson said, 'ffs hope this don't go to extra time' Lawrenson was too busy remembering all the pre match research he had done. Like when the commentator pointed out we had 14 injuries and Lawrenson said yeah but how many of them would get in the first team. Try 11 you great two hat.

SiJ Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 It was just so flat and insipid in the second half. Played like a pre-season friendly or a reserve game (which in many respects it felt like). My kingdom for a Wednesday team with a bit of drive and tempo.

His strengths are not his head but his feet..... He only chests it down (ie, anything below his neck!) because his head serves as only nuisance value if it gets in the way. The fact is, that the laws of gravity strangely affect upward momentum. Caveat: I do love Dave tho,..

BBob Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 I've liked how he has us organised, but he should be the one making sure we have that desire to get going forward in the last 10-20 mins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No bull straight and honest not the CC type post match comments we had towards the end He’s great at getting his post match interviews approved by the anti CC brigade. We lost again! Oh well! But we had a shot or two and had some spells in the game. No one talks about his inability to win football matches and his negative tactics. One day, some will admit they were wrong.

Lord Snooty Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Still. It's not so long ago we went a month without a shot... I'll start to judge Jos properly when he has Hooper, Fletcher, Forestieri, Lee, Lees, Bannan, Hutchinson, Westwood, Matias etc etc back in contention.

Rebowl Yell Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Played well but awful refereeing let us down again. That foul 2 minutes before their second goal was criminal, no way that goal should have stood. That killed us off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
